Eve's Maps are very large, but we are talking about a space based RPG here. Space is, well, really empty. Yes Eve packs a lot of objects into their system maps, but in the long run the data usage is actually quite small. Terstrial based games like WW2 online may cover a smaller real world...

Richard, I'll say one thing here which you can verify is the truth with anyone else in this thread. You are the ONLY poster in this thread who considers this a serious discussion. Everyone else is humoring you with the quite likely vain hope that you can be snapped out of the spell you are...

Please tell me this poster is joking? There cannot seriously be people in the 21st century so blind and stupid can there? Geocentric universe? What the hell are they going to bring back next, a flat earth and disease caused by demons?

Too many "Good Christians" have become upset, oft times quite angry, and once actually attacked me for me to ever trust people just because they recently came from a Bible Class. The Bible has entirely too much violence in it for it to be any form of constraint for a large group of young men...

There's never a bad time to give some people a punch in the face either.

BTW, Where's your neck?

Wow, talk about 30 years to late..

Alien abductions and UFO sightings have one other coincidence which helps highlight their fictional nature. For the most part, they did not start occurring till the advent of manned air travel and specifically the development of rocketry that brought the idea of travel in space into the realm...

Woah, lets back up a a step. We know by evidence that Jesus actualy existed? What evidence? The Bible? Sorry, the Gospels were written many decades after Jesus supposedly existed. By Paul's testimony? By his own admission he never met Jesus personally, and in actual fact seems to have...

No, correlation does not equal causation. If you disagree, then heres a chart comparing the global average temperature versus number of pirates in the world. This clearly shows that as pirate populations decrease global average temperature increases. Clearly, unless we all take up a life of...

These are always good threads for discussion. I would like to interject one important point though. Atheism is not an overarching belief system. Atheism is simply a lack of belief in deities. Thats it, nothing more. Now, of course being people just like everyone else, every atheist also has...

Its pretty simple really. One side of the argument is driven by humanities intense curiosity and the need to explore and understand the universe around us. The other is based on fear of the unknown, maintaining the status- quo, and building up groundless hopes to create artificial happiness...

Oh that is exceedingly obvious. What is also obvious to those that actually take the time to read the entirety of a thread, and not just those few choice morsels which agree with their pre-conceived ideas, is that posters such as yourself and AV have absolutely nothing to back up their...

You assume too much. The only being that knows what is best for a turtle is that turtle. You dare to claim we know what is best for the other animals of this planet, when it is quite clear we do not even know what is best for ourselves. Sorry, your argument rings false in every way. You are...

The problem with these ideas always comes down to the simple fact that the chance of life occuring is quite immaterial. It did. We do not know how many times the dice may have come up wrong before life started, all we know is that at least one time they came up correct. Its fallacious...

I just cannot support changing the nature of a creature without its consent just to make the world happier for those that can give consent. It is really no different than the animal testing or raising of food stock that you argue against. You're idealogy benefits you by removing any chance...

As others have stated, we must find our own meanings. Its part of our growth process, one whcih does not stop untill our death. If you are bored with life, you can either give in and stop, or you can explore new avenues of growth. Try researching a topic you have little experience with...

The bigger question when discussing pnathesitc thought, is if god is the universe, and we are of the universe, and thus we are god, and the reverse is true, then what is the point in even defining a god to begin with? What is differenent in the above and the below. We are of the universe, thus...

Suggested reading, Homer's Odyssey, in particular the Lotus Eaters.

because once you do that, they are no longer who they were. Animals are not capable of giving consent. You have no right to change them to please your own moral compass. Unless you are also going to include a magical ability to converse witht he animals in your idealogoy, you will never know...
