Chrono / Gameplay Casual Discussion / Re: Debunking the Lucca lesbian rumor

She is a primative human, I doubt she could properly express her ideas in an intelligent fashion to realize what she was implying...
Can we just stop trying to prove if Ayla or Lucca is bisexual...

Keep in mind the question posed was your favorite video game. Lots of people may like Chrono Trigger but it may not be their favorite video game. (I am puzzled why it wouldn't unless the favorite is Chrono Cross but I will resist the urge...).

So is it going to be anime style or some other animation style?
By the way, I used firefox for the webpage and everything I assume was supposed to be in that yellow box got shifted to the left.

The Wii is just so much better! WIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!

I just don't want game companies to use gfx as an excuse for crap storylines.
I will trust you on that, but I am not suprised. I mean some games are just plain kickass. Good gfx and solid storyline. Good for them. But there are other games with godly graphics but the storyline sucks balls.

I still lack to see how a religion that condemns the violence against innocents and condemns the concept of suicide somehow can be "inherently violent." And this not only the view of most Muslims, but it is fact in the Qur'an. How can any religion that follows something like the Ten Commandments, which says "Thou shalt not murder," be inherently violent?
The actions of what individuals do is not what makes up a religion. A religion is based upon the ideas of its creator. The creator represents the religion. According to your logic Lord J, if one white guy killed a black guy then all white people are evil. Same vice verca. If there is a single bad Republican or Democrat then the entire idealogy behind Republicans or Democrats are completely flawed. That kind of generalization is flawed. Religion for the vast majority is not inherently violent. People maybe, even clergy. But religion itself is not.

You don't know anything by just reading a book. Humans are much more sophisticated lifeforms than that. God did not tell us the truths of life for a reason. Since we are capable of thinking and analysis He assumes we can figure it out. God is nothing more than a pointer and one who protects people from life threatening events. We call those events miracles, but they are just small interventions on God's part in order to give us more time to figure out life. Religion isn't black and white. Its not you believe or not. Its how much do you believe, and how much you follow like a sheep. Following some leader around like a lamb is not being religious, its being incredibly stupid. You must follow a path of faith for a good reason, not because you are an idiot who grabs for anything within his reach. Bliss is just a reward, not an answer.
Saying "Hey look, Islam can drive people to terrorism," is pointless. Look at the Oklahoma Bombing. I could just as easily say based on that one event "Hey look, Christianity can drive people to terrorism." I could even add the Crusades to strengthen that point as well. "Hey look, Christianity causes war and hate." I could look at some of the incidents in the creation of Israel, when many Palestinians were displaced or killed. If I wanted to be a simple minded imbecile I could say "Hey look, Judaism causes pain and suffering to innocents." Lets look at the terrorism in India with Hindus killing Muslims. Some idiot on the sidelines once again says, "Hey look, Hinduism causes massacres and murders." And just to show its not only religion but idiotic mindsets in general I can finally look at what Stalin and Soviet Union did. They were atheist but they killed millions of their own people from overworking and forced marches. Mr. Oblivious once again can state, "Hey look, Atheism can cause pain and suffering to millions at a time." Its not religion that causes this suffering. Its idiots in charge of these events that want personal profit.
Look at the Crusades. The Pope didn't give a damn about Christianity as much as he did of personal profit. He looked at the Middle East as a land with riches, and he wanted those riches. So "in the name of God" he attacks the Middle East and gets his ass kicked majorly by the much more powerful Muslim army who from the start was allowing pilgrims to come to the Holy Land. The common people in the Crusade who thought they were acting in the name of God, were really just adding more personal land to the Pope.
Now to Iran. Iran's clergy is barely anything close to religious or acting in the name of religion. They just want to add more power and better control people. Islam doesn't endorse that piece of bullshit. They perverse religion in order to use it. Thus the religion itself doesn't cause anything. The brand new human perversion does. Thus God doesn't do anything at all. Its not his fault Iran's may be building nukes. Its not his fault suicide bombers exist. After all, Islam says the Jews and Christians are to be protected from people who wish to do them harm. You don't honestly expect me to believe that Iran's idiot oppurtunist president is actually working in the name of the religion. Seeing as he would be breaking the vows of a Muslim by harming innocent Jews and Christians. So a war between Shi'a Muslim Iran and the Judeo-Christian West cannot be based upon religion, because one side would be breaking their vows of faith.
The Muslims had always protected the Jews and Christians from polytheistic cheiftains. There is no conflict in their faiths. But politicians could not allow for Jews, Christians, and Muslims to be all friendly and nice to each other. So they created the bull shit about the conflicting faiths and infidels. Iran fights not for Allah or Prophet Muhammad or Imam Ali, but for a much more worldly reason. To regain political influence and supermacy over a region once known as the Persian Empire. There is nothing divine about it at all. Persia was angry when the British and Russians stole land and now Iran wants it back. Do want to know why it wants it back? It wants more oil, more resources, and more land. Same thing every single nation in this world wants, regardless of religion or if they are atheist. Do you still honestly believe this whole standoff is between Islam and Judaism?
9/11 pilots broke the two most sacred rules of Islam, "You shall not kill." and "You shall not commit suicide." So how do you expect me to view them as Muslim, as people acting in the name of Allah? God did not say, "Destroy the Twin Towers." Bin Laden said that. And Bin Laden is not divine. He is a mortal. A human. He does not decide what is right or wrong. He just wants to destabalize the West.
Wars almost never happen out of true faith or true religion. The people behind wars use it as a scrapegoat to attack a nation. But throughout history, what leaders want most is power and wealth. They could care less for divine glory. They are worldly beings who care naught for gods and prophets and saviors. They care for money and armies. And it is they, not any god or truly religiously inspired person who start wars.

General Discussion / Re: Richard Dawkins- The Root of All Evil
« on: May 28, 2006, 11:28:18 am »I can tell I've hit a nerve when I get a reply like that. Attack is all you people are interested in doing. Personal growth is never on the agenda.
My Turn:
Is personal growth becoming atheist? Please just give it a rest. Atheism is pretty pathetic when you think about it? What prevents you from doing whatever you want? There is no divine judgement. No great powerful force to eternally damn you. Nothing besides your own personal morals. And really there is nothing absolute about it.
I mean sure if I break the law I suffer, but I only suffer in this world if I am atheist. If I am Muslim I have to suffer in this world, and then if I did something truly sinful I must suffer in the next. And the suffering in the next is absolute. There is no relative laws, unless you call the entire universe relative to itself. Divine law is absolute. Human law is only an extension of it. Human law explicitly explains, while the divine guides. That is the purpose of religion, a guide to a rightous path.
All that bullshit about wars is human made shit or misinterpertation. You honestly believe every Muslim agrees with 9/11. The majority of the intelligent ones do not. The majority in general does not. But idiot oppurtunists managed to manipulate innocent people and turn them into these horrible warriors. Jihad doesn't even have to refer to holy war. Thats a piece of shit western misinterpertation used to demonize the Islamic religion. It means "struggle." Nothing more than "struggle." It can be a physical "struggle" or more likely and emotional. moral, mental "struggle." Every human has a jihad, because every human struggles to find right and wrong.
And just because I have a religion does not mean I do not accept science. Science is fact. It is absolute. So is the Qur'an, but the Qur'an does not have to be literal. Science always must embrace faith, but more importantly vice verca must be true. We live in a physical world, and our faith was created in this world. There cannot be contradiction because they are the same. Any conflict is a misinterpertation of religion or science. Religion is much more likely to be at fault, because the common people many times misinterpert religion very literally. Words have multitudes of meaning. Words are symbolic. Rarely is anything in a relgious text literal, except for the decleration of God. But the religion itself is not at fault, the followers are.
Religion is not a degradation of personal growth. Being a lamb is, but most people are lambs with or without religion. Look at the Soviet Union. Please don't tell me the proletariats there are more sophisticated than the most liberal theologicians. After all, the most liberal believers challgenge God and make Hiis existence dynamic. The proletariat follow their shepherd without thought, because that is how they have been instructed.
Religion is not the root of all evil, nor is Satan or Shaitan. Man is. Man concieved evil. Man accepted evil to grow in his heart, and man failed to purge it properly. Religion was an oppurtunity to purge out this corruptness. How is that evil? How is seeking redemption and good sinful? How is it a mental disabilty? Religion only gives redemption to those who grow the most from their mistakes.

« on: May 28, 2006, 10:46:43 am »The idea that no life can live in the Dead Sea is false-As it turns out, some fungui and microscopic lifeforms inhabit the Dead Sea.
I don't know where anybody got the idea that nothing living could inhabit the Dead Sea — certain bacteria (called archaebacteria) exist for harsh environments like the Dead Sea. Some are crazy enough to live in volcanoes and hot springs, and some live in extreme super-saline environments, like the Dead Sea.
Wow, I guess my biology major might work out after all. >>;
I am assuming it was named the Dead Sea long before humans understood the concept of microscopic organisms.

Characters, Plot, and Themes / Re: Lucca existence make's ZERO plot sense.
« on: May 24, 2006, 12:27:54 am »okay, cross related, you can blame it on the time crash and all that, but Lucca's very existence in the game makes no sense for a couple of reasons:
1.) she managed to make techonology that can match Robo's. Proof: the baby robot in the end cutscene.
You know if she was fixxing robo, she probably got to look inside of the circuitry and understand the basics of it. And plagarizing is not hard.
Quote
2.) She can actually FIX robo. granted, she made gato, but robo's suppose to be superior to gato, so how the hell did lucca know all of his layouts and curcuity without actually frying the poor bot?
Maybe just a couple of leads were damaged, and it takes no genius to fix leads on a circuit board. Plus maybe she did fry him on accident, but they werent permanently damaging... She probably has enough common sense not to completely kill Robo.
