  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Some aspects of this speech I agree with, others I don't. Never read any of her books or anything so don't know anything else about her views besides what I'm reading now.
That interesting. I haven't read the books but I've had an analysis of her belief system.

Hmm... well I haven't. All I have right now is why she thinks every human being needs philosophy in some way or other.

Author of Fountainhead? Atlas Shrugged? Either of those titles ring any bells?

Nice. Like her views? Or not?

If I was a humanist, atheist or agnostic, I would love them, but that's my personality, as a Christian, I can't agree with her on many fronts.

Some aspects of this speech I agree with, others I don't. Never read any of her books or anything so don't know anything else about her views besides what I'm reading now.

I have no opinion because I have no idea who she is. But if Drama can't agree with her because he's a Christian, I probably won't either. But I'll do a crash-course on her later tonight on Wikipedia and Google. :D

Knowing you and knowing a little bit about her views, I'd have to say you'll probably disagree rather strongly.

I'd say so only because I know some of Drama's views, and I agree with him, because, well, he agrees with what I agree with... :D
Well, I don't know Drama's views as well as I know yours, so I was going by what I know of your views...

I'm dropping in before logging onto morrowind, now that my bro's off the comp. I'm gonna find that daggum Vampire clan and get infected if it KILLS M--.... my character.:doh: Krulkodar can come back at the nearest save. I can't.

I have to agree, Drama IS a tad more open-minded than you, The Cheat.

I really enjoy it, but I don't know if its for everyone. Its certainly a pretty open, huge game, so if you don't like that then its definitely not for you. You need a lot of time to go through everything, or just be content to take forever to finish the game.:doh: And with how it seems most video games can be finished in a couple weeks these days, that may not be such a bad thing.

Yeah, I was kinda surprised when the box said hundreds of hours. And that was without the three expansion sets. And I'm perfectly content with a game taking forever. Just so long as I always have something to turn to when I'm completely bored.

I thought there were only two?:confused: But yeah, it surely is hundreds of hours. Very, very intricate, and kinda realistic. You don't need to eat or drink, but you have to sleep, you can only run/jump/swim so far without getting tired, you can vary how hard you hit by how long you hold down the mouse button, and you develop your skills (EG, Spear, Sneak, Athletics, Acrobatics, Long Blade, Mercantile, Heavy Armor) as you use them. It takes little time to learn the game's mechanics, but getting around can be frustrating from time to time. You'll spend a LOT of time wandering the wilderness if you want to find the really good stuff. Only so much is in cities. Its got a lot of options as far as what guilds/organizations you want to follow(I for one enjoy the Imperial Legion, but there are also churches, your generic theif/fighter/mage guilds, and the family-based "house" factions of the natives.), the classes you can take(you can actually make your own, in fact) and the creatures you can become (Vampirism or Lycanthropy appeal to you at all?:D)

*Wanders back in to wave at Jelly and everyone else* Hi!
Hihiiiiiiii, Joi-san :)

I hear that you haven't quite sided yet.... on Le Great Debate. You probably like Joy, don't you? That's why you're not taking a side. But you should take a side! I like Joy too, but her taste in instruments is way weird. I think she's deaf towards the actual sound of le oboe. There's no other possible way she could've endured playing that instrument as long as she has. And to tell you the truth, she inwardly--she um, told me, kind of, this, well, she might have, or, she should have--prefers flutes to oboes.

And besides, you've played flute, you know the superiority of it! The silvery goodness is better than lightly toasted butter. So, yes. :) Flutes will conquer!

/me walks out, laughing wildly

Dave?! You have a brother?! :eek: Is he a mini-Dave?! What an awesome thing! To be... *deep announcer voice* PALADIN DAVE'S BROTHER! ^_^

I was joking. EVERYONE is more open-minded than I am. Why? Because I already know everything! :p No, it's actually because I am the most careful person in the world, and I read next-to everything on a subject before giving it the time of day. That's what I did with God, and I shall follow suit with everything else. So actually Ninj, you're way more open-minded than I am. :D

You can make your own classes? That settles it, I'm buying it!

Oh, and my neighbor called the dog warden on my dog. Why? Because their dog attacked mine, and mine bit theirs. Yeah, this is a [wash my mouth][wash my mouth][wash my mouth][wash my mouth][wash my mouth][wash my mouth][wash my mouth]' messed up world we live in, ain't it.

*Laughs* Morrowind, I see. :) I should reinstall the game sometime just for fun...

I think Cheat is more open-minded than I am. Once I have a belief, I stick by it. *nods knowingly*

*Still keeping her mouth shut on the open-minded issue*

Yeah, only two. My bad. Mistyped that.

Yeah, that does sound interesting. I'm the type, though, that would like to have a character that wields a huge sword and kills only "evil" things. But maybe I can still figure it out.
