Thats ok. Sorry. TV's got them images, TV's got them all, nothing's shocking.

Thats why its called a discussion forum, genius. TV's got them images, TV's got them all, nothing's shocking.

So you have never in your life performed an act that was malicious, that you knew was malicious, and you knew you'd be in trouble if you did it? Stealing, killing, raping, cheating on someone, insulting someone, lying - you are asking me to accept the fact that something bad that someone did should be punished without further thought of anything they have done. Remwa talked about a balance sheet. I believe God keeps one, i believe that we as people also keep one for our friends. I'm sorry, I cant retain that much hate for another human simply to justify their death. Rabid dogs aside, I think the content of my post was clear enough that your argument doesnt really have a place. Like I said, Id prefer that some criminals not even go through the system - but then you have a problem with who should judge that person - I feel the same way about the death penalty and the whole issue of judgement. Humans are humans. sociopaths are humans. Not all sociopaths are killers and many function in society pretty well. Should a sociopath be killed immediately before commission of a crime? I'm pretty well versed in those areas of aberrant psychology, so I fully understand what you're saying, I think it's short sighted and still doesnt justify me being able to kill them. Look, lets redraw the sociopath thing, lets take something closer to my own personal feelings: I think anyone that watches sitcoms is a waste of oxygen. I think most people are actually - with little to no redeeming features. Unfortunately I cannot simply kill them. RL, sociopaths are at the far end of the spectrum. It's easy to talk about killing unrepentant killers with mental illnesses who can never be cured. While I disagree with you it I dont believe that it's the only thing in frame here. It's not about killers playing a system. Its about being human. About trying to get a little more englightened than this fearful, impotent lashing out at our fears, and by doing so simply feeding into it.

I'm sorry, I'm sure others have responded to this and that my thoughts are likely to have been repeated elsewhere in the thread - but my impulsive nature caused a 'reply'.. The death penalty echos the whole eye for an eye ideal. I personally think theres no Xtian justification for supporting it. No - please dont quote scripture at me defending it. it was just a thought about Jesus being pretty chill and ghandi-like (that line amuses me). I think this situation brings up another christian related issue: that of redemption and forgiveness. Does a person change? I think so yes. Here as a parent in my 30s I look back at some of the things I've done in my past and cringe. If I had a son who did something similar I'd try to stop them. If you as a person believe that persons value to the world is decided in a split second flash of gunfire then your own lives must also be defined by the shittiest and nastiest acts that you've ever done to yourselves and those around you, and no one is innocent. I realize that there are those on both sides of the argument who believe different things, but I do not think its an exaggeration to say that on the whole the majority of laws in the US are based around the morality put forth in the Bible. In fact, several State laws even include the prescence of the prison chaplain at the execution. Jesus is quoted as saying that the only unforgivable sin is blasphemy against the Holy Spirit.... I dont believe the human spirit is immutable. Vengence is pointless and brings no rewards. The game of "ahh but if your kid was killed you'd want them dead right?". Yeah, most likely - but thats my reaction as a parent, a reaction of my own personal hurt. If someone wants to talk about that in PMs fine, but I realize the overall concept is something that many will misconstrue over simplify and completely misunderstand - kinda like me with Christianity in general Personally I do not believe the death penalty as it is enforced should be used. But then I do not believe that every criminal deserves due process. The laws shitty but I think its role should be in its service to the people - so yes, by default I think that all criminals should be entitled to due process and a jury of their peers and that the death penalty should be abolished.

CGI is a wonderful thing if you're into soulless simulations :( Crappy effects? I dont remember them being that crappy except perhaps the big water explosions, but then again I like movies of the old sort where they didnt have to sign post every change in emotional intensity and have slick graphics to drive the story.

I'm sorry, I dont agree with your concept of greatness. TV's got them images, TV's got them all, nothing's shocking.

That's such a classic movie and it had never even occured to me that the dog was called that. Doh! Does it really need remaking? I always think of it this way: it was so good that George Lucas ripped it off for Star Wars. :) TV's got them images, TV's got them all, nothing's shocking.

Wow, you obviously werent paying attention to my posts then. TV's got them images, TV's got them all, nothing's shocking.

I only use them in the most cursory fashion as the word 'engineer' in my job title is negated by the prefix 'software', and I'm using them to build a game environment (and trying to walk a fine line between realistic yet fun and awesomely boring and accurate). http://www.rccm.co.jp/~juk/cfd/CFD_codes.html Free. Since I'm just a lowly guy trying to build something fun I dont have much cause to investigate simulating shit blowing up in busy areas. chaotic population distribution is interesting though. How does one mitigate the lattice effect effectively? That was a fine example of me talking out of my ass. Basically if it isnt in 'Building Virtual Worlds' or 'Oreillys Physics for Game programmers' I have no clue what the hell you're talking about :) TV's got them images, TV's got them all, nothing's shocking.

Your following me, aren't you. I will cunningly disguise myself as this emoticon and sneak out...... you can't see me. inbijiburu TV's got them images, TV's got them all, nothing's shocking.

No, I just had to wait 2 weeks to report my findings. TV's got them images, TV's got them all, nothing's shocking.

bwahahaha TV's got them images, TV's got them all, nothing's shocking.

After two weeks of study I feel I can safely report my findings. It's really crap. Unless you're from a dropzone somewhere in CA and you've all slept with each other. In which case it might be fun in a 'lets not think too hard cos it hurts' way. Thank you. tanoshimou ne! TV's got them images, TV's got them all, nothing's shocking.

An award for "Crappest example of Mysticism ever used to justify a point of view" is winging its way towards you. Unfortunately the coming pagan festivities will no doubt interupt its arrival, inadvertantly causing its rerouting to Omaha Nebraska where it will be read by someone in the dead letter office and give them the final clue needed to tear a whole in the very fabric of reality. The real irony here is that had this same gentleman read the washing instructions on the label of his pants he might have come to the same conclusion. Now THATS mysticism!

But did she look hot in the bikini? That seems like an important detail you neglected to expound upon. TV's got them images, TV's got them all, nothing's shocking.

Wow, this place got awesome while I was gone. Y'all rock, I'm applauding....really. Look at my little hands, shedding granules of dried blood with every clap. No really. You go. Except maybe YOU! yes. You. TV's got them images, TV's got them all, nothing's shocking.

nope. never met one either. TV's got them images, TV's got them all, nothing's shocking.

Yeah. Its like drinking to get drunk, something you grow out of (perhaps not so accurate amongst skydivers

I think you misunderstood, I simply meant that a malaysian IP simply means that the computer was in malaysia, not the person doing the posting. Although cracking a box isnt exactly difficult in the majority of cases. TV's got them images, TV's got them all, nothing's shocking.

Are you part of The Gimp marketing team? TV's got them images, TV's got them all, nothing's shocking.

I dunno what sort of controls you have there. The first thing would be to turn off the guest book unless it's an authorized user, which kills the fun and free aspect but stops dickheads from spamming you. Second, this intarweb things cool. I can crack a box anywhere in the world from my chair here in the US of A. So basically... Stop worrying about the posters IP address, it means nothing to you unless you have direct access to ip based access control and you know for sure thats the originator (hint: YOU DONT!). Authenticate your users, turn off the feature, or put up with it. Or Write a simple shell script to scan user input and reject posts that only contain a web url or certain naughty words. IP addresses mean nothing. ARIN and Whois means nothing unless you know how to leverage them, and in this situation there's very little to leverage.
