I'm not 100% certain as to exactly what ticklefist's point is, but with all those things that you mentioned, about writing, programming, etc. I see no reason to claim that they're all artists. They're closer to craftsmen than to artists. I'm not trying to say that movies or comics are not flat...

I have recently become a vegetarian, after a horrific Christmas eve dinner (which consisted of fried chicken, potato bake, prawns, glazed ham, pork, garlic bread and pasta with meat in it... I ended up vomiting Christmas morning). At the moment, I drink no where near enough water. But, since I'm...

Junky by William Burroughs On the Road by Jack Kerouac The Surrealist Manifesto (and most importantly, Soluble Fish) by Andre Breton

I can honestly say that I've never needed to crap in order to get out of bed. That's when you know you have a problem. OT: I've gotta go with dual alarms that sound off within a few minutes of one another. Having one doesn't do it for me - I usually turn it off in my sleep. I've even put my...

Mortal Kombat shall soon be mine! Did it seriously take them over ten years in the making though? Surely you should be able to bang this sort of thing out in a month or two. Why is it taking another 6 months to be implemented though? Are they reclassifying everything that 'just squeezed...

Hey all, I'm looking to get a laptop for Uni, so I'm looking for one that's 11"-13", light, has a good battery life and in the price range of $300 - $850ish. I probably won't be playing any games on it - if I do, they'd most likely be just casual/indie games - so I'll mainly just need it for...

Japanese Tea is where it's at. When you get the good stuff, it's amazing and so relaxing. I can't stand most tea with milk in it.

That's like - to use an example from Australia - a farmer selling his produce to Coles and/or Woolworths. Either the farmer agrees to accept any price that they demand, even if that means he runs at a loss, or he doesn't sell any produce. I'd say Coles and Woolworths own around 80-90% of the...

I've gone back over your conversation with Mortai and I see that you think that think a) there is one true path to happiness, and b) that sentient creatures prefer happiness. And I have to say, without meaning offence, but that is incredibly short sighted. I'm sorry if you've already said it...

I read this wrong the first time. Even so, it could have been the devil disguised as God. Surely a Christian would have to prove why God is only good if they want him to hold any significance to anyone beyond themselves. EDIT: You're assuming that being happy is inherently more...

See, I would see it the other way around when it comes to morality. If there is an objective morality, then, to me, it would only be taking into account the action. If it took into account the effects, then it would have to predict/foresee every possible outcome to determine whether there is an...

I know I am taking it out of context somewhat, but where exactly does this positive value derive from? Is it the action or the consequence? You may view murder as an abhorrent act as it is one that hurts another. But what if, for example, there were three men stranded on an island and to...

Just gonna list them as I think of them: Come and See The Three Colours Trilogy The Dekalog M Metropolis Tokyo Story Studio Ghibli films Un Chien Andalou L'Age d'Or Seven Samurai Amelie Pan's Labyrinth Satantango The Pianist & Chinatown (Polanski's Polish... does that count?)...

Would force or the money proposal from the US (and UK?) really fix the issue? To me it seems much like throwing a table cloth over a filthy table, then claiming that it's clean. Neither method will fix the issue - which is why these countries/governments, etc, think the way they do. What we...

You get points for that reference. Unless it is a ploy so that we lower our defences, and then they snap a picture of the big board! I bet the Russians were just being smart-asses. I reckon it's far to "human-ness" and typical of the alien-look to be an actual alien.
