Give me a reason to be mad at you. — Lone Wolf

I refuse.

Yeah... But maybe if I get mad at you, then they will feel sorry for you anyway — Lone Wolf

Noooooo, please don't get mad at me. I couldn't stand it.
OK whatever. X-)

Too bad... — Lone Wolf

Too bad I don't know them or too bad they don't feel sorry for me. :’(

You should feel sorry for all the people I was around today... — Lone Wolf

Why, I don't know them. They wont feel sorry for me when I am surround by miserable people or for others when I feel bad.

I can’t sleep... — Lone Wolf

And?

Here's proof that we are all beautiful.

Déjà vu. 8-)

Err, could you define good for us please. I am not sure. :-#

We should feel guilty when we have done wrong, — celebritydiscodave

I never said that we should not, so what is your point.

so when damage is objective or when it is subjective. Objective damage is that change perceived to of been in detriment to the otherwise state of being by the average balanced mind. Side tracking may be dealing with side issues but this as an answer which seriously deals with this one. The shorter the answer, within reason, the more accurate it tends to be. — celebritydiscodave

I have no idea what any of this means. 8-)

The truth.

I am currently living in a poor third world country, in which political unrest has recently upheaved due to an alleged electoral fraud. — rickyk95

If it is in central america, we are probable in the same place. If you are somewhere else I cannot really say much about the situation.

You say that you are currently living there, is it a recent move? If you have not been there for long or maybe HERE for the last nine years you might not understand the history behind the troubles. Usually protest have some sort of beginning that goes back some time, unless you are a department store that uses the wrong photo in a commercial and your stores get turn to pieces the next day.

Riots come from the protestors anger or fear overflowing and snowball sometimes to tremendous sizes. Some of the participants here that I have talked to said the riots started when the police tried to stop the criminals from sacking the stores by attacking anyone nearby even if they were doing nothing so they fought back. There are videos to prove some of the cases.

Without any concrete evidence, people have went out to the streets to protest against this, and are destroying local businesses that have absolutely nothing to do with the public political debacle. — rickyk95

Unfortunately people emotions do not need evidence to the same degree as in court. If they believe that they have been wronged it is usually enough for them to protest about.

Whether or not their grievances are legitimate, I cant help but to intuit that what they are doing is morally wrong. — rickyk95

It is morally wrong, but the problem is that most of the damage done here was not directly done by the people protesting about the elections. As I said it is believed that most of it was done by criminals taking advantage of the situation. As far as I know there have been no arrests of political protestors for looting, and that is something that the government would love to be able to prove.

Although, conversely, at the same time, violence has historically been one of the most pivotal means through which political and social change has been achieved. — rickyk95

It has been boiling here for a long time now. The government has known this and planned well. They even built up a special military police force that they use against the protestors now because the civil force refused to be used against the population. But the force was put together a few years ago under the disguise of safety in the streets, which it never accomplished.

So, with this said, where do you draw the line between legitimate protesting and immoral violence? — rickyk95

I think that violence should only be used when there is no alternative, many nasty dictators could only be removed by force. But any violence should be directed at the oppressors, not at honest people and their property. One of the problems here was that some of the businesses burned belonged to people that are in favor of the way the government was going because it would have made them wealthier. As always though the little guy sometimes gets in the middle.

Rule 6
Sir2u's rules need no considering.

Explanation of 5 word rule.
My rules are so fantastic they are automatically implemented, thus no need to consider them at all.

Rule 5-12: Rules proposed by Sir2U will no longer be considered legitmate. — T Clark

Bollucks.

Rule 4.2 seems meaningless. — Noble Dust

Why?

The racket the Camaro makes when I pull into the Piggly Wiggly from running on 7 cylinders is such an embarrassment. — Hanover

Especially as it is the six cylinder model.

Rule 4.1
He who talks a lot, has many posts without rules contained there in, has to post a rule for each of the posts that poster made that does not contain a rule.

Rule 4.2
The Lord of the Game has the power to authorize any further venality he see fit for those posters that talk too much as defined in Rule 4.1. Including himself.

Gosh, I hate being poor. — TimeLine

Do not worry, you are in the very best of company.

Carry on. — JustSomeGuy

I've already told you that you can't post in this thread! This is an Agu free zone! So shoo! :P — Lone Wolf

That seems to be a trump style discriminatory statement. Are you some kind of "ist", racist, sexist, aguist? :-O

I still have the exact same look. — TimeLine

Bewitching?

But she did turn out alright didn't she?

Maybe I can wait a few more years then. X-)

Shucks.

Is that you you wearing it?

Don't make me come down there. I showed you my orange rug!!! — T Clark

Is it a magic flying rug? I want a ride too.

Do you know much else about him, about the coal gas company itself, his role, influence or was everything thrown on you when your father was unwell? — TimeLine

A distant cousin of my fathers has dug up most of the family history as far back as about 1700. He has a local Yorkshire bigwig and politician. He was even the mayor in the city for a while.

There is more about the machine here http://www.south-tynedale-railway.org.uk/locomotives-stock/

And why do you need to be rich? — TimeLine

Traveling is expensive and I do not want to go back to England without having plenty of money to spend. That probably means I will never get to see it.

He was the big boss in the coal gas company it was made for, so the named it after him. I only found out about it just before my dad died so there is not much I know about it except what is on line. When I get rich I might go take a ride on it.

if "Crucification" is not a word, what is it? — Banno

It is a group of letters that someone put together to provide a topic for discussion.

Rule number whatever.

Discussion at any time must fall into the "about the validity of a rule" category.

Rule number whatever + 1.

Discussion of all rules of a political nature are forbidden.

I had puzzled at the quantity of directly religious moral threads on this forum. Is that a result of the change in clientele, or of changing times? — Banno

The need for guidance maybe, Inferiority complex, laziness. Who knows.

How could a god, with all of his powers, only manage to come up with fucked up humans?

Design and evolve are two different things, which is it?

As someone already posted a train, I will too. This one has very special meaning for me though, it was named after my great grand father.

If you were to interpret a meaning out of this mess, what would it be? — MonfortS26

These people need serious help.

Actual I didn't, I think it was Tsu Sun. But I have not read things like that for decades. Just placed it on my reading list, #456.

A dictator allows no one to disobey him and there is no questioning of his orders, as long as those orders were beneficial to the people there should be no problems.

We are designed to acquire and use language — Bitter Crank

While I agree with most of what you have said, could you clarify who did the designing?

Thanks to you and Bitter Crank for helping us choose between two hypothetical and, as far as we know, impossible technologies. — T Clark

But there is also dimensional crossover to discuss. This is were you jump from a place in this dimension through a shortcut in another dimension and end up at your destination. This has the advantage of not having to use spaceships because you just sort of have to step sideways through the portal into the other dimension and out the other side without actually moving much. If you somehow managed to misstep in the other dimension I guess that you would be in the same situation of not knowing where you were.

would it better humanity to be an oppressive leader? — Starthrower

The best leader is a beneficial dictator.

This has been resolved in science fiction stories. If memory serves, exiting a worm hole before you reach the opposite end results in death, so it won't matter to you. — Bitter Crank

That is one of the advantages of warping space to travel, if you come out of the warp accidental you can still live to find out where you are.

Show me a map of your wormhole system so I can work it out for you. X-)
