case 12: //ST: Gaia.... { nRoomAnimation = ANIMATION_ROOM_SCRIPTLOOP05; }break; In that case, it's not actually part of the script. It's just a comment, as indicated by the '//' part. If I were you doing this I'd change it to '//DI: Rhen Var' in th... [Read More]
(Continuing the conversation started in the thread on secularisation) 1095. :rolleyes: Actually, the Papal authority granted to Robert Guiscard (1015-1085) in his reconquest of southern Italy and creation of a largely stable, peaceful Italy have been... [Read More]
In fact the Crusades (like 9 crusades from ca. 1100 to 1300) More like from about 1090-ish. And? Most of them were attempts to prop up an ally, albeit a somewhat shifty ally in the form of the Western Roman Empire. The Pope called them in order to... [Read More]
Compared to 1000 years ago, when religions had "full control" I think where doing /much/ better now. In 1007 we were just creeping towards the beginning of a cultural and scientific golden age that would come to full fruition in the High M... [Read More]
Frankly, if I were a parent, I would play every media card I had to try and raise awareness and find out anything about the whereabouts of a missing child. Yes, it was stupid to leave their daughter alone, but people do do stupid things. It's a some... [Read More]
When asked why he became a Catholic, Graham Greene referred back to a point in his life when he began to "doubt my doubt" about the resurrection. I think it depends on the person. @TK-8252: In my experience, being a Christian is anything b... [Read More]
They're the work of that devilish Russian, Yuri* (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yuri_%28Command_%26_Conquer%29). Alternatively, they're a Jesuit plot. Take your pick.... [Read More]
Very, very nice. If I could make two suggestions, however, I would first recommend removing the beard - it doesn't work, IMO. Secondly, the blue glow effect would add some ethereal-ness to him. Just suggestions, 'though. :)... [Read More]
I certainly have heard of no "Baghdad battery" equivalents found in Egypt. We don't even know what the original was for, and given the lack of evidence in the ground for anything of the sort...For a suitable lightbulb you need nitrogen, cle... [Read More]
@Padawan: OK. I won't bite your head off completely, then. :) Hey I know they where all not slaves, I know too they use they’re technology to make the work faster but read the damn bible dude, it says that it was made in 21 years if I recall... tr... [Read More]
The definition between a free peasent who has to work for the Parahoh due to "outdated religious theories"...and a enslaved worker is quite small indeed. Just ask a Marxist. :D They were paid, housed, lived better than they would commonly,... [Read More]
Great knees of St. Simeon Stylites, please will you people please learn some basic archaeology?! I'm sorry to fly off the handle, but this really bugs me. We've had a dozen threads on these subjects, and still the same old myths keep being drudged... [Read More]
Indeed, but when such a usage becomes so common that 99% of the population use "homophobe" not as a noun meaning one who fears homosexuals but as an insult you can hardly say that it's improper. Anyway, in Britain at any rate, this sort of... [Read More]
We should say what we mean, and mean what we say. Often what is meant by the use of 'homophobe' is: 'I don't like you, you are insulting/criticising someone who is G/L/B, and I can't think of a better insult or criticism of you.'... [Read More]
Obviously you're not a fan of the aforementioned semantic shift :xp:. I'm a fan of saying what you mean and meaning what you say. I'm also a fan of having a grasp of the root of much of our language. homos - same. phobos - fear, dread. Really, there... [Read More]
'Gay'. Meaning: happy, joyous. 'Homosexual.' Meaning: if you can't figure this one out... 'Homophobe'. One with an irrational fear, seated in the subconscious, of things being or that are the same. Use words for what they actually mean, people.... [Read More]
Memetics is a commonly accepted scientific theory? The "meme hypothesis" was not based on observations? It's pseudoscience, devoid of supporting evidence, and has certainly gained an undue acceptance. Why else have so many (useless) memetic... [Read More]
Frankly, who in the US administration has the gumption, the lack of morals and the intellect to put together a conspiracy such as would be required for something like the September 11th 2001 bombings? And no, I won't call it '9/11'.... [Read More]
