    No, not at all, but to somehow think that you are correct simply because you believe that what you believe in infallible is just as bad a religious zealot. There are definite inconsistencies in modern science that mean that various parts will be thrown out at some point in the next hundred or so years. Preaching with certain righteousness is not the correct way to do it, taking it as the best answer which we have is fine, but denying the possibility of change, as most aggressive atheists do is not fine. Science has evolved an incredible amount since the Romans fucked everything up. The idea of a plenum has been debunked. Classical Mechanics replaced with Quantum, The change in the atomic model. Everything could change tomorrow, it probably won't, but it might.

    Point out that science has revolutions as well and that current science is likely going to be superseded by a better more accurate one. Then kick him in the balls.

  4. Books, books, books...

    Just finished Acts of Violence by Ryan David Jahn this morning. It can be hard to read at times, simply due to the description of the events in the book, it's not particularly long at ~280 pages. The writing style is a little schizophrenic, jumping from insular short stories of characters living around a courtyard, tied together as witnesses to the central act of violence. The story is loosely based upon the murder of Kitty Genovese. It's worth a look if you aren't squeamish

    Stab him and ask "where is your god now!". (Don't actually do this).

    Oh god there is two.
  10. So I came across this story thanks to Remo: http://www.giantbomb.com/news/when-passions-flare-lines-are-crossed/4006/. Go read it, I'll be here later. Fucking hell, if this is what the Fighting game community has devolved to then it is no surprise that both StarCraft, Halo, LoL and Dota have far surpassed them as competitive avenues. The unpleasantness which this fiend uses is staggering, particularly for one representing his genre of games. With the recent discussions which have been had on this very forum, regarding jokes discussing a horrific topic, I doubt any of you will support this fool. I got quite close to the fighting game community a year or so ago, however I left it due to a specific player being unbearable, my practice partner, I laid the blame on his Aspergers (That doesn't clear me of blame, I simply hadn't the time). But was this really the way which others behaved, which he thought was acceptable. While I wasn't at the point of conversing with the community, he was, and still is, but I've mostly lost contact with him. Since then I found SC II and Dota-esques, where I feel more comfortable. I cannot understand this jerk, he seems to think that SC II bceame popular overnight, it didn't. The faces of the game supported the game, from before release: Day[9], Husky, DJWheat, Total Biscuit, etc. Were these guys so derogotory to a subset of people? No, of course not, they were brilliantly knowledgeable, articulate and generally some of the nicest people to experience: I have played with Chill of TeamLiquid.net fame, who is the nicest Albertan (Fuck you Miffy). You don't appeal to a new audience with an attitude like this American. Even though I am not part of the fighting game community, I am part of the larger E-Sports community, a subject which I hold a great deal of value, be it the Euro, US or Asian players. I'm embarrassed that this guy is even slightly linked to myself. There may be something rotten in the fighting community, which I hope for their sake they can heal, so their sport can grow. To end I would like you to watch Sean "Day[9]" Plott's 100th daily, I'm not going to add anything regarding it other than it is about one passionate man talking about a subject he loves. http://blip.tv/day9tv/day-9-daily-100-my-life-of-starcraft-3505715
  11. The Dancing Thumb (aka: music recommendations)

    It was fucking brilliant and everyone should try and see it. Isam isn't a great p[lace to start, I'd recommend either Chaos Theory or Foley Room.

  19. Show me your desk/gaming space

    2 monitors is something which I have grown to need. I use both monitors extensively. From having streams on the left monitor casually. Skype, Xsplit, media players are exclusively run on the left monitor. In addition to this my 360 is connected to the left monitor.
  20. Please, tell me...

    To learn becoming better at a game, not making the same mistakes.
