Well, without heterosexuals, there'd be damn less wars, raping planets, ethnic cleansing and stupid threads. Yeah, we might die out quicker (unless we came to some arrangement with women and turkey basters - course, we'd have to cull any hetero leanings out). Then we could have poetry, and artwork, and beauty, and we'd all lounge about in our Greco Roman fantasy world discussing quantum physics and the dreamlike quality of reality.

And in reality most women above a certain IQ prefer gay men because we don't batter them (1 in 10 statistics are made up on the spot).

As to gays being intellectually superior, i think you'll find that's not the case. Their celebration of effeminacy makes them in general far shallower than others - they are obsessed with style and appearances over real substance (between finding their next piece of ass in the public toilets). Id say they probably objectify their own sex more than straight men do the opposite sex.
Ok, we'd talk about it but might not know much about it :oops: and as for effeminacy, not all gays are, rather like straights there are some who act normal, some butch, some scream and rave (they're usually the ones people notice and see on TV). Anonymous sex can be fun, as can committed relationships. Objectifying bodies is pretty much across the board - just check out the popularity of porn on the web and in advertising.

As for the Greeks and Romans, they were not homosexual in the modern sense. The practice was of older men taking young teenage male lovers. This was a temporary thing, and relationships between adult males were frowned upon, much less forsaking women to exclusively pursue other men. If Alexander the Great knew that there were "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy" types trying to claim him as a gay icon, he'd rise from the grave and skewer them on the spot with his spear.
Fantasy as in lounging around silk laden rooms in toga's eating grapes from hunky slaves, though I do seem to recall reading that their armies would take same sex lovers - it's what promoted loyalty amongst the men (tho I could be mistaken).

The only reason I stuck my oar in was someone asserted that homosexuality was a disease and it pissed me off. If it is, there ain't never gonna be a cure! Be proud, be loud, be heard :cool:

Mind you, I'm still enjoying Oblivion, so there's pretty much no hope for me...

Morons lecturing each other about physics and getting it all wrong.

Galileo proved that everything falls at the same speed, regardless of weight or mass. The only thing that shouldn't fall at the same speed is something that is light, and has a large surface area (quills, parchment, etc.).

If you are serious about that science degree maybe you should get a dictionary to find out the difference between mass and weight.
Um, the rate at which an object falls is independent of weight and mass, so forgive me if I fail to see any error on my part.

In response to an argument against Gentrification, your blogger writes:
Fair enough. Just don't start complaining when some other group of people living somewhere else also decides that people of other cultures moving in would be detrimental to their particular culture that they want to maintain, since they believe that they are somehow magically entitled to live forever in that particular area so that their culture should never have to change or be in danger of displacement. Off the top of my head, I could name a few such reactionary and intolerant groups that have gotten a lot of publicity lately. Good luck then explaining them why they are not entitled to seclude themselves inside their historical neighbourhoods, happily living in their own culture that is artificially kept safe from all external socioeconomic pressures.

Is he referring to anti-immigrant (legal and illegal) Americans? It's kind of a humorous parallel.

Something that is heavy and has a large surface area (e.g. a lunar module with three parachutes attached) also falls at a relatively slow rate.

Since were all currently sitting on a planet where the gravity is 1G, there is absolutely no difference between mass and weight -- the difference is only observable in a lower/higher gravity environment

And that would be a function of drag because of increased surface area: nothing to do with the weight or mass of an object -- except as a direct correlation of calculating the surface area necessary to increase the drag-coefficient

Good call, I didn't even think of that.

I'm a failure. :cry:

This is the Codex, not some furry roleplaying board. But ah well, since you weren't as stupid as some Codexers made you out to be I will make an exception and offer you a gentle gesture even here, in the flaming hells of Gehenna:

Xaana: Yes, yes YOU ARE A BIG FAILURE. I've always thought your admiration of Oblivion and Bethesda was evidence of either personal failure or being Todd's loyal wife, and its good we've finally cleared that up.

Rainer: Git off theese bords and go to school. Come back when u git edukated, Mrs. Failure.

Xaana: Shut the fuck up Rainer.

I'm not sure that's Frankie. While I do disagree with his views on Oblivion, and Bethesda in general, I can't imagine him being that immature.

Something is telling me I shouldn't be ressurecting the subject, but Franc Kaos the claim was not that homosexuality is itself a disease, but is caused by one, like how polio can cause you to lose the use of your legs. FDR could not have been "cured" during his presidency absent some pretty drastic surgery or something, but it is now possible to prevent polio with things like vaccinations.

Re: Oblivion Kills Old Person

Three months ago I bought my family an Xbox 360 and a copy of Oblivion. My 61 year old mother instantly fell in love with Oblivion, playing it for hours on end. In fact, she went through the game twice, once as an Orc [~150 hours] and then as an Imperial/Magic Blade hybrid she nicknamed “Drusus Nero” [~300 hours]. As soon as Drusus was master of all the guilds and had completed all the main quest missions save “Light the Dragonfires” – she passed on that one because, as she put it, “screw Martin… I’m the emperor. Besides, who wants a concrete chicken as their leader?” – my mom set about cleaning up and decorating her in-game homes. The process took dozens of hours, but it turns out that once you pick up all the bones in the basement, put some pottery and silver on the shelves, and place some bowls of pearls in the dark corners and flowers in the windowsills, Benirus Manor is actually quite pleasant. And it is hard to look at a Skingrad cupboard or shelf with nine silver glasses on it and not smile.

My mother died unexpectedly on Thursday. One of the last things she saw before her death was Drusus' final save point in Oblivion: a hilltop just off the Ring Road overlooking the Imperial City.

On behalf of my entire family, I thank the engineers and developers at Bethesda Softworks for making my mother’s last three months a joyful time for her.

A Special Thank You to Bethesda Softworks

Three months of Oblivion can kill the elderly.

I think they have managed to 'cure' homosexuals in Russia... Cut skull open and pour drip into the hypothalamus.

Finish of their brains, yeah

Sure, which is why I countered his example that a light object with large surface area falls more slowly with the example that a heavy object with a large surface area falls more slowly. Weight/Mass doesn't matter.

Another 14 year old "review" of NWN2 at Gamespot...

"I dont find this game good for people who are new to this type. Stick to WoW or Guild Wars for good fun! I really didnt like the character setup. It was lacking a lot of stuff. It is deeper than WoW but Its made from the same people who made Dungeons and Dragons so the character stetup had to be detailed. It is simlar to Dungeon Siege and Diablo but just for the nerdy type of person. If you plan on buying this you must either be a cheapskate or a loser but either way this is a waste of your hard arned money or your parents money for you people who dont have jobs. lol. The story mode is really long so if you plan on playing this game for a long time I suggest finding a new one maybe Oblivion."

While I agree with his ultimate conclusion (don't buy Oblivion), that has to be the single worst review of Oblivion, ever. Were there any comments on it?

Fixed the post! ;)

Besides, his conclusion was to buy Oblivion... :)

Blast, that's what I get for skimming. I guess I've been conditioned by this thread to think that any review/post brought up is about Oblivion. Even so, that's still a highly retarded review.

Heavier objects fall faster.
a=F/m=(mg+Ffr)/m=g+Ffr/m, where Ffr is the friction force. Thus, out of two objects with the same friction, the heavier will fall faster.
In void, though, all objects fall at the same speed.

a=g + Ffr/m

As "m' increases, "a" decreases, no?

I'm not disagreeing with you, but I'm having a brain fart when it comes to the math.

Oh, wait. Shouldn't it be F = mg - Ffr? so....

a = g - Ffr/m, and "a" increases as 'm' increases.

So what you're saying is, if Volourn and a 700 pound elephant were to jump off the leaning tower of piza, Volourn would land first?

R00fles!
