The Great Filter
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Filter

In short the great filter theory suggests that we have not encountered intelligent life yet because there is a "great filter" that prevents planetary life from reaching advanced intelligence necessary for galactic expansion.

@ssorenn - Sure*if* I go whacky in a thread before someone else and *if* I'm the only one using the whacky language, you can call m on the carpet just as Eden has done here.

I should point out ssorenn, that I have never been the *only* person in the thread to go off. And, in fact, in most cases, it's Putin or someone else who goes off first.

Bullshit, Draug.

The first thread I ever read on this site was one that you posted entitled "Abgemacht is an asshat fucktard." I was surprised by how well people were handling what I assumed was blatant trolling. Since then, there have been numerous incidents such as your destroying the pacifist game and your threatening to DDOS the site.

Regardless though, ssorenn is being obnoxious for no good reason and, unlike you, never contributes positively. He also can't spell "you're."
it's more the fact that ssorenn opened, what, like his first three replies in this thread with calling people morons while making utterly ridiculous statements himself. Guy kind of has a thing for lording over people it seems and doesn't know when to quit.

Hint hint, if everyone thinks you're coming off as an asshole, maybe blaming others isn't the answer.

No, ssorenn, it isn't. I would place money that you can't find a single thread where I was the only person using foul language. $100 donated to the site by me if you can. But $100 donated to the site by you if you can't.

@ghug - That was a continuation from a previously locked thread that was locked unjustly (and I got that from Kestas that the original thread should never have been locked) so it really isn't a thread that meets the definition. As far as DDOS threats and the like, in every one of those same threads someone else came out and cursed as well, if just to call me a name.

ssorenn, here, has called Yang numerous names without once being called one in this thread. He has called bo a name or two and also not been called one. That is ridiculous.

You really need to not quote partial quotes when the entire quote is right there for the world to see, ssorenn.

We are for sure not allone but it's hard to prove. Forget this filter. We are able to see the other side of our universe, from where do we know that our universum already expands?
@ ssorenn : Basically you are right, but why do you not read Tesla or Higgs? Physically we know how to speed up over Light speed. We need only one guy who can build a machine which is using this physically knowledges. And this guy with his cat would also be helpful.

??? What are you trying to say Gerry? We know the universe is expanding due to the Doppler shift in the stars. W can't see "the other side" of the universe. If we could, we would know it *wasn't* infinite, but was finite and we know no such thing.

the atom collider in CERN can not even get past the light barrier
we know the universe is infinite through some tricky math and we can see a discernible "edge" but it's mostly just red-shifted light dating back to the beginning of the big bang, you can't really see beyond it.

Probably one of the best lectures I've ever seen on the universe was by Lawrence Strauss. It's just under an hour but well worth a watch, lots of great little info and I think this is where the concept of "we're all star stuff" originally came from (that's now used by Bill Nye, Neil Degrasse, etc.)

Again, we don't have to exceed the speed of light with a generational ship. Just because we can't build one now doesn't mean we never will be able to. When applied to our space program (which it does quite nicely) Moore's Law makes it pretty clear we have a strong probability of doing so before the heat death of the Sun.
"this all goes back to,i believe extraterrestrial life exists but we as a species will never encounter it without the capabilities of going past the speed of light"

this is still patently 100% not true. Going past the speed of light (which is not possible) does not have anything to do with whether or not we will notice or meet extraterrestrial life

we will figure out the light barrier before we have a generational ship.....too many star trek movies for you Draug

Allies vs Axis Yes or No and a new map
basically WW2 map with teams Free France GB Russia USA vs Germany Italy Japan Vichy France. If a teammate gets taken over your team can liberate your teammates territory which would bring him back but its only the territories he started out with. you can also move through your teammates territories and help defend them if a team dominates the map it would asked them to continue if all 4 players say yes this reverts back to the old diplomacy game type as a free for all.

Banned by a moderator: moron
I'm glad that the mods banned 'Peyton is back,' userID=63701, for his annoying spamming, but I dislike the fact that they cited such a childish-sounding reason. 'Banned by a moderator: spamming' would be a much more appropriate and 'adult' reason. I guess I'm just disappointed that the moderators would demean themselves and their reputation by acting so deplorably.

Why do we tolerate people within our society like obiwan?
I sometimes agree with these kind of people, that if we locked them all in a prison and killed them, we could free the world of ignorance and hatred within a week. Maybe the last war of man will be between the progressives and the ones holding us back.

Why are we so stubborn?
So I have a quick question why are diplomacy players so stubborn. Even in the event where you are offering a deal that equally benefits us and you why are we just so stubborn? Any ideas? Does this stubbornness hinder or help with achieving solos?

Hamas Rejects ANOTHER Ceasefire
http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-4549051,00.html "Speaking in Qatar, political chief Khaled Mashal demands Israel lift blockade, says Gaza-based group will never agree to disarm." I post another thread to specifically call attention to this...once AGAIN Hamas rejects a ceasefire. Demands met or no...surely if they're a people of peace they should allow for a ceasefire, right? But they've rejected it...again...but this is really Israel perpetuating the war. NEVER Hamas.
