  • Every time I see or hear "IPhone", I can't help but think of this. Sure it doesn't apply to everyone, but it's still hilarious.

• • Either way you think about it, death is scary!

    This thread is not about whether or not you believe in God or not.  It is about Death.  How scary that it is.  I mean have you really thought about it?  For starters, how will it happen to you?  It's a morbid thought. 

    Then there is the essence of what this thread is about.  What is more frightening?  The idea of death being oblivion and its finality, or the idea of an afterlife.  I mean, let us entertain that thought for a second.  Say there is an afterlife.  Eternity?  That is a pretty long time.  And how would you feel if you died and were suddenly someplace else?  You'd be blooming confused that is for sure! 

    Now I personally, if I was a betting man, would not like the odds of there being an afterlife.  Afterall, what is the point of this life if there is one later?  Does that mean that this whole existence is just one big test, to see if we meet the necessary rquirements to enter paradise?  Nah, why go to the bother of making the Universe and its entirity for something as banal as that?

    Either way you look at it, when you just stop, and for ten minutes think of nothing else...

    Gives you a chill down your back doesn't it?

    
    You know what I don't get about religion? How generally it's a fairly simple a straight forward process to pass the trials of 'salvation', but how people just continually harp on it long after they have accomplished the feat. I mean it'd seem a lot more inviting if people said "yea, I got saved 23 years ago, glad I got that out of the way so I can move on with my life". You just rarely ever hear that from anyone. Most religious peope want to go on and on about religion day after day and never give it a rest.

    I am not a religious person, but I have no fear of death. I have spent the majority of my life trying to be a good person who has balanced personal happiness with helping others achieve theirs, and it has brought me great satisfaction in the process. This is a testament to the way I was raised however, which just happened to be in a christian family. Although, from my experience, morals are neither guaranteed in a religious household nor improbable in one that abstains. My only thoughts about the ramifications of my dropping dead tomorrow would be concern for those I leave behind. As long as I share as much of myself as possible in the time that I am here, there is nothing more I can do. This policy affords me great freedoms in the way I choose to live and deal with others. It also removes the governance of possibility.

    Realise that you will die someday. Make peace with that realization and understand that you are currently alive, it is the most liberating thing imagineable.

• • Pets question

    Ok, been playing a bit with Vanguard for a couple days, trying to decide what class i'm gonna play, so far i cant seem to make a choice.   I have a question about the pets, i played a necro and a druid both have pets but i noticed that their pets dont seem to hold any aggro ?

    What's the point of a pet if he can't hold aggro for any kind of time ?   Maybe i'm too low level, maybe it's a taunt spell i havent gotten yet, anyone can enlighten me about pets holding aggro ?

    Necro pet tanking at low levels is rather difficult. It really requires that you curtail your DPS, which only adds to the difficulty since you have no substantial pet heals. You're best bet until you're over level 30 is either agro kiting or fear kiting.

    I never played a Druid (and they have changed a lot since I last played VG) but I don't think their pets were ever supposed to be hate generators.

    so what's their protest? God or America?

    too much youtube for these lil douches.

    Seeing as how the original pledge was written by a socialist, and contained neither "god" nor "America", I assume it could be either or both.

    Of course we won't just leave Iraq immediately if a Democrat become President.  There is way too much pressure from the world to "clean up" our mess.  What we will get is a plan for an organized withdrawal.  McCain's answer is just to stay the course until our troops can come home with honor or some such bullshit.  That is unacceptable.  

    And here inlies the proof of why Obama will win the presidency: USA Today poll

    If you had to choose, which do you think is better for the U.S. -- to keep a significant number of troops in Iraq until the situation gets better, even if that takes many years, or to set a timetable for removing troops from Iraq and to stick to that timetable regardless of what is going on in Iraq?

    Here is the answer, consistent with virtually every other poll that has asked the same question for many, many months:

    Take particular notice of the independents in this poll. The pressure to withdraw only gets greater as the violence increases. McCain will probably use that as a platform to preach national security, but it won't work this time. We are now wise to the tactics of arbitrarily raising national threat levels.
