The first person to correctly guess my bra size gets to kill the Thread™.

I don't know but I bet they are involved:

BTW, I think that I might actually be able to make something out of AGS this time. Maybe if just could keep things simple enough but still accomplish what I want to accomplish...

OK, I personally think less and less of quotations every day (To quote myself: "'I hate quotations. Tell me what you know.' - Ralph Waldo Emerson "), but I happened to stumble upon for example these quotations while searching for that one and I think they're just excellent:

"Nationalism is a silly cock crowing on his own dunghill" - Richard Aldington

"Nationalism is an infantile disease. It is the measles of mankind." - Albert Einstein

"Heroism on command, senseless violence, and all the loathsome nonsense that goes by the name of patriotism - how passionately I hate them!" - Einstein again (I think I like him)

"Patriotism is the willingness to kill and be killed for trivial reasons." - Bertrand Russell

"I am not an Athenian or a Greek, but a citizen of the world." - Diogenes

"It is not easy to see how the more extreme forms of nationalism can long survive when men have seen the Earth in its true perspective as a single small globe against the stars." - Arthur C. Clarke

"The love of one's country is a splendid thing. But why should love stop at the border?" - Pablo Casals

"Patriotism is your conviction that this country is superior to all other countries because you were born in it." - George Bernard Shaw

"Patriotism is a kind of religion; it is the egg from which wars are hatched. " - Guy de Maupassant

Among others.

Heal the world, make it a better place, for you and for me and the entire human race...

Jatsie · 07-22-2008, 02:44 PM

I think about, um *pause* the generations, and uh *pause* say we wanna make it a better place for our children, and our children's children so that they *pause* they, they know it's a better world, for them *pause* and think if they can make it a better place...

Giligan · 07-22-2008, 03:41 PM

People are annoying.

Squinky · 07-22-2008, 03:42 PM

Except when they're not.

Giligan · 07-22-2008, 03:43 PM

Well, yes.

Jatsie · 07-22-2008, 03:50 PM

People are strange,
When you're a stranger,
Faces look ugly,
When you're alone.

If you wanna make the world a better place take a look at yourself and make the change

No message could've been any clearer.

What about elephants, have we lost their trust?

Squinky · 07-23-2008, 08:39 AM

Did we even have it in the first place?

Jatsie · 07-23-2008, 10:38 AM

...but, but, this is the best part!

UPtimist · 07-23-2008, 11:53 AM

The part where the universe is tenfold, into the distance.

Squinky · 07-23-2008, 12:34 PM

Inhale these questions if you will:

1. Is there such a thing as a 'teapot' that cannot be explained using sociology, English literature, quantum mechanics, Moore's law?

2. Do you have a crush on a celebrity (oh dear), if not, what hospital were you born in?

3. Do you think the Thread™ is a waste of time? Why or why not? Also, why does Adventure Gamers have a section for LucasArts, Sierra, Revolution...but not Tomb Raider?

4. Do you think there is such a thing as talent? Or is it just the carbon emissions?

Jatsie · 07-23-2008, 12:52 PM

1. Yes, there is a chocolate teapot which is purely figurative. It is comparable to the chocolate fireguard, and anything else deemed useless specificially because it has no use, in part due to design faults which render its intended use untenable.

2. If you define celebrity as "one who is celebrated" then no, because I'm not sure if anyone has ever thrown a party for the boys I like. I was raised in a celebrity home, and we have our own maternity ward, I don't know how this affects things...

3. I don't think the Thread is a waste of time, because the Thread is infinite, so you can spend as much time on it as you like, and still have enough left for water boarding. AG has no place for Tomb Raider, because people who play adventure games suffer from gynophobia, also her rack is traumatic for people who suffered a crash in airbag equipped cars.

4. Talent doesn't exist, not as a thing, it is an abstract and subjective concept, where as carbon emissions don't exist either as I can't see them and I know the polar ice caps are still there as Fox hasn't told me there's a shortage which will lead to me drinking warm coke.
