Anyone play EvE Online?
It's a space-based MMO that focuses around combat, mining, and trading. Of course, if you played it, you'd already know that. Are there any WebDip people besides me who play EvE?

What would happen if...
I don't know, but I've always wondered... What would happen if a state told a federal judge who shot down a law to go get bent and enforced it anyhow? I mean, are the feds going to march on Alabama if they enforce their new illegal immigration law? What could they do besides withhold money?

Immigration
Since Draug's last thread was directed towards government but mentions immigration, I figured I'd make another thread for immigration so we can have that discussion separately.

Oh. And I'm offended.
"Against"? What the hell is there to be "against"? And what does your "against" entail? That they should be "converted" or eliminated?
This is beyond trolling in my book. We're very near 'hate speech' (depending on how you would answer my questions).

From a logical standpoint, the entire concept doesn't make any sense. The human body has been created to have men suited for women, nothing else should exist. Culturally, there is nothing to be produced, thus they cause a decline in the birth rate as more and more become confused. Which really, all it is is confusion. Not knowing what your body is physically adapted for, choosing something else. For those of you who believe in God, you know that it is morally and quite simply, wrong. For those of you who believe in evolution, you know that we did not evolve to do such things. We evolved so that man and woman would be able to be together. Natural Selection condemns them. Aside from all of that, I simply detest all gay people I have met both men and women. And I really don't understand why they are being accepted. They have always been the outcast, why are they suddenly our friends.

Once again, I blame women and black people...
"Once again, I blame women and black people..."

Trolling doesn't work well when you make it obvious.

Seriously if being gay bothers you, don't be gay. not sure why your opinion should have any bearing on anyone else's behaviour.

although i agree everyone is entitled to their own thoughts, sometimes its best to just keep them to yourself. especially when they make you look like an asshat for no good reason.

@king not only are you so narrow minded that you think that everyone different from the norm is an outcast (at least thats what i got from your pointless rant) but you also seem to be a person who is so stubborn in their beliefs that they dont know how to admit that they're wrong. Yes i do believe whoever said you are wrong is correct in saying so, you also say "I blame women and black people" which also makes you as intelligent as a baboon in my eyes. Without proof of anything other than its your own thoughts there is no way to prove or disprove that being gay is a good or bad thing.

dont feed it no more posting in this thread fight the primal urge to confront and kill the troll with its one weakness a lack of attention
Cachimbo (1181 D)

@ The Hanged Man: LOVE IT!

It's pretty fantastic, however, that our community counts many "mature" players. This is the first time I really play any online game, and it sets the bar pretty high. Well, in general it does...

@ KA: Regardless of your age, this particular thread reveals only one of two things. Either you're a very sad person who's not getting the attention he needs (and maybe deserves) and thus seeks it out here in any way, shape, or form. Or, you have less culture and knowledge of your universe and human history than my daughters do, who are not yet beyond 10 years of age.
In both cases, internet relations of the kind developed here are not what you need. You'll either keep being stupid to get the attention, or you'll never listen to what others here have to say because you've no sufficient reason to trust them instead of trusting your own opinions.
Gay, women and black people...
I can't believe it.
Cachimbo (1181 D)

Yeah... you guys are right... This was the last you heard of me KA. But I won't mute you. TC does it much better than you.

you are right though centurion lol.

you may hate gays, but someone who does not hate gays is a fan of your facebook page. therefore your argument is invalid
Cachimbo (1181 D)
24 Aug 11 UTC
(I gotta say though... this one really hurts me. It shouldn't, really. It's not like you never hear it. But I guess I was expecting that sort of stuff to not exist in our community. Might as well come out and say it: I'm bi, I'm a queer. It may make me a target to some here, but at least I'll know who to avoid and, possibly, mute.)

Fine, you all can complain all you want. This is how I view those people and I'm not going to change that. I was asked to post this, so blame Thucy for making me take this here. And Cachimbo, I'm not here for attention...and I have a great deal of knoweledge on human history. I understand what is going on in today's age and I do not agree with it. That is all. And that makes ME discriminated against. I do not care however, I'm just not happy with this world and if that makes me "backwards," so be it.

KA is so right you guys! We have genocide, rape, inequity, shit economies, rebellions, dictatorships, murder, and poverty.

It's only logical that we go after gays to put a stop to it all!
Cachimbo (1181 D)
24 Aug 11 UTC
If you know history so well, if you know culture so well, how can you say that gays have not produced anything worthy ?
Gunfighter06 (224 D)

@ Yellowjacket

You are right. Gay marriage should be on the back burner. We have a lot bigger problems right now.

@ Everyone

I'm going to play devil's advocate on this one, just for the sake of the discussion. I am NOT a homophobe nor do I oppose gay rights, so please don't throw childish names at me.

Why is anyone who opposes gay rights automatically shot down as an ignorant homophobe? If you really want a civil discussion with conservatives, you can't name call. King Atom came out with a couple of valid points and was immediately destroyed by everyone who posted after him.

If he was posting "Death to all faggots!" then yes, you could certainly call him a homophobe or some other name. When I read his post, I did not detect any irrational hatred or fear of gays.
Cachimbo (1181 D)
24 Aug 11 UTC
"Against gays " doesn't sound all that rational. "Against gay marriage " does. Now, read this thread's subtitle again.

Thanks again to all who donated, we've just got the 2 year lease for the dedicated host, and everything seems to be going well :-)
