  1. Relax TT...I bet you my left testicle it will be great!
  2. Yeah tell me about it C4 is your friend!
  3. Yeah but in real life you don't respawn when you get killed! If you want realism you should try Battlefield Bad Company 2. Its hardcore mode is brilliant. I've played it with Dan but he's just a bush wookie, sniping all the time
  4. Yeah I've noticed you play it all the time! But you play the campfest that is Hardcore TDM which is a borefest
  5. Whilst I'm more excited about Battlefield 3, this gameplay trailer does look pretty epic. coiTJbr9m04
  6. Hey man, why did you close the other thread?! I was doing this crazy multi-tasking at work, typing bits of my post and doing work at the same time. The thread was quite interesting. In any case, just to answer the questions and clarify on points made, please find my post below. You are then free to close the thread immediately afterwards I never said that you had to believe in God to believe in humanity. Not necessarily. If we are to view this objectively, people only do so simply because that is how they are designed (if you dismiss God's existence for the sake of argument). You are correct in that: But remember, you guys are failing to understand the point I am making about the grand scheme of things. I'm not talking about the quantitative value of humanity and its emotions, but the value of it. Matt H is talking about empathy and this so-called moral compass. I'm asking you, where are you deriving these standards from? Many scientists repeatedly state that the purpose of human beings is to simply reproduce. That just attributes a mere numerical value to our existence. So all this talk about empathy, love and selflessness isn't really relevant. Let me put it crudely; Person # 1: Kills, rapes and causes 'evil' by our understanding Person # 2: Charitable, caring, compassionate. End result: both dead- no memories. All the pain suffered by the hands of the victims or the joys and love enjoyed by the receivers are a result of biological processes also ultimately negligible as the above drowns in the 'sea of history' if you will. But just to entertain your really well worded point Matt- one could argue that the atheist in your scenario could also be argued to be selfish. Afterall, maybe Stalin or Hitler thought what they were doing was "right". This concept of 'good' or 'right' is always in a state of flux- never definite and possibly reflecting the sentiments of the majority at the time.
  7. No offence intended to you Jazz but it is really painful having you being a proponent for the belief that there is a God. Well surely if you're an atheist you cannot agree with that because....well, you're dead! So I question the relevance of having a content life without the so-called inhibitions of religion. Even Dawkins falls into this trap, talking about the 'beauty' of the world as if it some objective standard and then cites memes and genes as a reason for our morality. Ultimately, I do not think any atheist can deny this, it boils down to this if you do not believe in God: we're just matter, all these emotions and feels such as love, compassion, hatred etc are mere byproducts of electrical impulses in our brain and other biological elements and that is all. NOTHING MORE and NOTHING LESS. So I find it quite amusing that the OP is so dismissive of religion (and I assume of God as well), attributing it to most of the 'evils' in the world, yet, without God, the world evil in its tradition sense would not even exist.
  8. Gorgeous car and perfect ride height. GLWS!
  9. I came back to this for Cataclysm but got bored a month later. Rather oddly, I only play WoW to terrorise the low level alliance players on my server. You should have seen the amount of hate mail I got from them because the Alliance bases in Outlands were under constant siege by my evil crew But then a recent update killed world pvp where lvl 80 guards would spawn everywhere.

    TR2N or Tron 2.

    Watched it today- I massively regret not watching this in 3D because its brilliant!! Great movie and great soundtrack
  11. My allusion referred to "the FACT that you might have belittled someone's faith..." Yes it was fair of you to come to that conclusion, I don't dispute that. Again, I reiterate that: Am I correct in assuming that this is your opinion (even though you do not expressly state so)? In any case, I am more than aware of the vast number of people on this forum that share that view as I have been involved in the posts discussing the issue. [Disclaimer] Excuse the 'tone' of my post if it sounds aggressive or judgemental. That is not my intention.
  12. Who's stopping you? Then some others could point out that if the above is true, all this talk about 'control' and morality is negligible.
  13. If your post wasn't an opinion NOR a statement of fact, what exactly was it? I merely asked you a question. My later statement alluded to the fact that you might have belittled someone's faith, belief etc without trying. The question of whether or not I am offended is irrelevant and certainly wouldn't necessarily mean that this thread isn't for me. Please note that I'm not offended by what appears to be your belief (if that is what the above statement was exlcuding; opinion or fact).
  14. I'm sorry; how is "following like sheep" and a "lack of intelligence" a basic requirement for all religions? Really? Then you did the above effortlessly.
  15. I really should have gone through T-Mobile. However, threatening to cancel my contract will most likely prompt them to take on my case. HTC didn't do ANYTHING over the phone again so I'm calling T-Mobile. What a joke. P.S. Sorry for the profanity in my thread title
  16. I've had enough. I have waited over 6 weeks for my phone to be repaired because it suffered from the restart loop problem where the phone would heat up and keep restarting. Its a common problem with the Desire. The customer service at HTC is HORRENDOUS. Apparently my phone was repaired during the first week I sent it, then delivered, then magically getting repaired again the week after.....now they are just plain lying. I'm on the phone with them now. "Oh its at the repair centre" No its not, yesterday you said you didn't have a log for it. "Oh yes sorry, I don't have an update for it on my system". I haven't had a SINGLE phone call from them even though they have given me several undertakings to call me back within 24 hours. The thing is, I went directly to HTC to get my phone repaired as opposed to going through T-Mobile. Now T-Mobile refuse to take it on. So I'm thinking of cancelling my contract and getting an iPhone instead. I've had enough.
  17. Oooh that's pretty cool! Cheers for that mate
  18. Cheers for that Gazza. Do we get to keep the free PS3 games or do they disappear after a month?
  19. There's a thread on here somewhere about it. AFAIK, during a Supra convoy, someone cut up the woman featured in that video as they went up a slip road. [EDIT] Damn I was too slow.
  20. Yeah I've just checked and it only added four months for me too. My friend managed to get six.
  21. http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/6-months-xbox-live-gold-6-xbox-com/939232 Pretty self-explanatory really. Do it quick because it's going to be sorted out today!!
