  1. I finished SAO 1 yesterday. I thought it was pretty good until around ep 17 or whatever. It kinda dropped off then, but it was still good though. Now I just started SAO II
  2. Ah, that makes more sense. I am not sure why i mentioned tornadoes. A tornado would destroy a house whether it was on water or not
  3. I would be worried about hurricanes or tornadoes. The building doesn't look structurally safe.
  4. I never read this thread until now, but the OP has no logic. I believe the Illuminati exist in today's society, but the logic in his post is face-palm worthy. He basically wants to get rid of religion and what, create a cult? That sounds like a good idea. Let's just say, I won't be drinking the fruit punch.
  5. Don't forget! http://www.cbc.ca/news/arts/hillary-clinton-promotes-law-to-ban-violent-video-games-1.550126
  6. I got rekt. Goodjob guys. (especially the coordinated attacks of Cornerstone)
  7. It will suck to see you on the battlefield, but I enjoyed the DoW. o7
  8. Also the beginning of an era of good ads. ayy lmao
  9. I wasn't actually referring to you at all. I was just saying that in general. Here's your urban dictionary definition. "A person (usually a male) who sees the typical maiden in distress, and believes that he can help her. A male version of the "mother figure" that some girls become." -Obviously the 'official' definition differs from the urban definition. Basically a girl can hit a guy in public and nobody will come to his aid, but as soon as he fights back, the typical white knight will come to her aid. It's rather screwed up to say the least
  10. Everything else you said really just doesn't make sense, and I am pretty sure that this is a troll topic. This is sadly true though. If you have seen the occasional dumb 'social experiment' video, you will know that this is a sad fact in society. Women can be just as bad as men in some respects. I think a lot of men can agree that if a woman is punching you and physically abusing you, then you should have the right to stop her at all means, without causing permanent damage. Some white knights will argue that you should never hit a woman no matter the circumstance, but some are insane and will chase you around with knives. Obviously the cops should be called, but they might not believe you, as you mentioned.
  11. What are your thoughts on compulsory schooling? Is it good for our kids, is it bad?
  12. Getting rid of churches ≠getting rid of religion.
  13. To each their own. I absolutely loved the ending. I didn't like anime at all really before I watched Code Geass. I prefer dubbed over subbed, I feel the same way about dub. Also the link Kurdanak gave is a good one. (that's if you have a good internet connection )
  14. I personally don't believe in overpopulation, and I am quite the pessimist. I just think that overcrowding ≠overpopulation. We have plenty of land, food and water to sustain everyone in the world tenfold. It just comes down to a government level. The government doesn't want to give free land, water and food to people if they don't pay. Here is a few quotes from an article: "Today, there is approximately 7,268,730,000 people on earth. The landmass of Texas is 268,820 square miles (7,494,271,488,000 square feet). If we divide 7,494,271,488,000 square feet by 7,268,730,000 people, we get 1031 square feet per person. This is enough space for everyone on earth to live in a townhouse while altogether fitting on a landmass the size of Texas. And we’re not even accounting for the average four-person family who would most likely share a home!" "–Abundance, not scarcity, best describes the world’s current food supply. Enough grains are produced to provide every human being with 3,500 calories per day – 1,500 more calories per day than recommended by the Food and Drug Administration." "All the world’s nearly one billion hungry people could be lifted out of malnourishment on less than a quarter of the food that is wasted in the US, UK and Europe" We actually have enough water to sustain humans as well. Here is another quote: "There is not enough fresh water for everyone!†There is! Since 1900, freshwater withdrawals (i.e. production of usable water) have increased much faster than the human population has increased. Freshwater withdrawals have increased seven-fold since 1900 while the world population has increased only four-fold" Sources: (1) https://www.pop.org/content/debunking-myth-overpopulation#_ftn2 (2) http://www.collective-evolution.com/2014/10/25/overpopulation-a-fact-or-myth/ I completely agree. People cannot face the fact that we are most likely doomed. It would take a MASSIVE change in the way people think, to be able to possibly save Earth and everything on it. Even then it might still be irreversible. We started a chain reaction with the start of the industrial revolution and it isn't going to stop until we are gone, that is why I say that technology is our benefit and downfall. Was it really worth getting these advancements in technology, just to cause all living things to perish? It's a rather selfish thing to do, and it shows how despicable humanity can be. I do remember reading a somewhat troll topic about how we should return to tribalism. Although it wouldn't make much sense now since we are already in the information era, if we didn't advance, it begs the question on whether it would have been better for every living thing or just as bad. The fact remains that we are wiping every living thing on the planet out and we are most likely going to perish along with them. Interstellar was a rather good movie in demonstrating what our future will most likely come to (except with the happy ending.)
  15. I do somewhat agree to the previous statements. Humans are extremely adaptable, but the fact isn't that we are just going to go extinct, it's the fact that most animals are as well. We are not just killing ourselves off, we are killing off everything else along with us. The advancement in technology is our benefit and downfall. It could prove to be the thing that saves us from our own extinction, but in the present it is proving to be ruining us in so many ways.
  16. I can possibly see this becoming a rather heated debate. Most modern scientists are now in agreement that Humans have created their own epoch, which is now coined the Anthropocene epoch. The new epoch started around the first atomic bomb was launched, to around possibly when the industrial revolution begun. The epoch is supposed to be different from all the others because it starts in from the recent past, to the ongoing present. It is claimed that this epoch is different than all the others because it is a time in history where Humans have sped up extinction and the downfall of Earth such a quick period. Now onto the juicy stuff. The doomsday clock was moved to 3 minutes before midnight, sometime in 2015. This has not happened since 1984 when the cold war was happening. Now the threat is: "Unchecked climate change, global nuclear weapons modernization's, and outsized nuclear weapons arsenals pose extraordinary and undeniable threats to the continued existence of humanity, and world leaders have failed to act with the speed or on the scale required to protect citizens from potential catastrophe. These failures of political leadership endanger every person on Earth.†Several scientists claim that most of our damage on the world is irreversible and that we were doomed from the start. They claim that we will be extinct within 100 years, or that Earth will be uninhabitable by humans. So the question is: Do you think we are going extinct? Do you think technology will save us from extinction, either by colonization of other planets, etc? Do you care about the future of humanity even if you die before the mass extinction (it is currently ongoing), but suffer from some of the possible climate changes of the Earth? Is it possible for us to stop the extinction?

  17. I think this topic belongs here: https://politicsandwar.com/forums/index.php?/forum/35-forum-games-spam/ Nevertheless. I guess Angelina Jolie.
  18. Welcome Vectivus, we hope your home in BK lasts for as long as you are alive.
