"I seriously challenge anybody to find anything constructive to say about any of these!"

Alien Resurrection helped fund Amelie.

That's all I got!

Athiests are skins, you guys can be shirts!

pff, I never cared what his opinions on various movies was... Ya'll are just trying to bite my style!

Jeez people, just have fun. If someone made an image and had fun or learned something making it, awesome. Did someone not follow the rules exactly? So what? Not the end of the world, they probably won't win the competition and life will continue.

nothing to see here, move along

yes but darth... you don't like the price of DVDs and as I said you could save hundreds of dollars and protest the price point of DVDs by setting up your house to play downloaded movies easier.

And again, what about computer programs?

So if it was easier to download DVDs for free and display them on your TV you would do that too?

What about computer programs? Those you download, install and use right on the computer you downloaded them on, no burning required.

Also, the cost of setting up your house to allow you put a movie on a removable storage device and display it on the TV is probably much less than that of buying DVDs for the rest of your life.

You don't like the prices of things so you take them unless it's not convenient? This is my take away from this thread.

It's not a good comparison and they aren't thieves.

If I buy a tv and give it away, no one stole it. The company got money for 1 tv and 1 tv was transfered leaving no tvs in my garage.

When I take an MP3 from someone the company got money for 1 CD and 1 cd was transfered and there is still a cd in my cdplayer and another in someone elses.

And to reiterate:

I don't want to pay a high price for something therefore I steal it.

I steal it and don't get in trouble therefor it is not illegal.

You want music but it's too expensive or you have a moral reason for not downloading the music. Outcome: You don't get to listen to or you take a moral stand against owning the CD. That's the way things work for 99.9% of every other good. Want to hear the music and support the artist? Go to a show and buy a cd directly off of them. If that performer doesn't tour around you or it'd be really expensive to see every show, too bad. That's the way it works. You either buy the cd or you don't.

Also, since you stated that the reason you don't download DVDs is because it isn't as easy as loading up a program and searching and downloading. What if it was? Would you download them then? What if it was real easy to just download a movie without paying for it and watch it on your TV? [then again, with torrents, it's terribly easy to download movies and can be downloaded in a few hours]

helm already has a hell fist!

And I just want to bring up that OROW was created to get people to make games that are interesting and don't get over-scoped

the OR bit was to try and curtail people's over-scopeness. I like OROW being of few rules. If you made a game in a week, awesome! Post it and let me play it! I'd also love to do away with the whole competition aspect of OROW because, eh.

BUT THAT'S JUST ME!

I'd like some answers to my post, if anyone pleases.

What else costs too much? Is it ok to steal that? Can I walk into a shop and steal something because I feel it's too expensive? The people who make clothes in china aren't paid nearly enough for what they do, can I steal shirts off the racks because of this?

Or admit you're stealing something without paying for it. I steal things off the internet all the time. Even if I have a moral reason against paying for something I admit I'm a thief.

Don't want to be a thief and don't want to give the record companies any money? Boycott the product.

I'd be interested in seeing "actual" statistics of what it takes to make a cd for a major distributor and where the money goes. If 1 cent goes to the performer and that proves to be a grossly unreasonable number, I'd like to know.

But CDs are less than a dollar each now. Oh you mean the entire cost of producing a band, paying advertisers, mixing the sound and all that.

Also, why can't people spell Colossal by now?!

So... then faith can motivate people to do negative things?

I don't think I am very far from your line of thinking, this side discussion is more of a definition-of-faith thing than a argument about religious faith.

Probably, however it seems like you'd like to believe in god from some of the things you said? That's probably the biggest difference keeping us from being indistinguishable as different people on the street!

Now on to my opinion on some points you directed at helm:
"Gay people should not be allowed to marry/make love/adopt/exist because God says it is an abomination."
How about this version of the argument?
"Gay people should not be allowed to marry/make love/adopt/exist because it is not natural reproductive behaviour."

Unacceptable to me. If you believed that then that gets rid of fertility clinics, surrogate mothers, sperm donors, in vitro fertilization and adoption [make a baby, don't claim one already made! SPREAD YOUR DNA!]. Sterilization and hysterectomy are out too, probably.

To further fall into the "It's not natural" mindset there goes plastics, silicone, some vaccinations and geneticall modified foods. Way to ruin it for everyone, the gays!

So faith is based on human fears/desires/ignorance?
Yes, I see my faith having it's origin in my fears and desires, I believe I am almost incapable of unselfish action.

And in the process of designing your faith based off of fears and desires and selfishness, you've never done anything bad as a result of your faith? Even if you haven't, no one else has in the history of the world?

I'd like to see your sources for how you know the lifestyle and living habits of the people that run this survey, Rick.

No offense taken. I was burnt out and I couldn't get myself to redo the up walk cycle, it has a lot wrong with it.

You don't have to reward people for helping you, they'll help you either way.

Then again I should get those games because you're using my walkcycle templates...

So global warming is a myth and just a scare tactic but we should do what proponents of global warming say in limiting pollution and living more efficiently?

The planet has survived impacts from humongous asteroids before.Ã,  Trust me ... we aren't "killing" the planet.

You misunderstand "killing the planet" with "making it uninhabitable for humans" or at least "very uncomfortable for humans"

Damn you Adam!
