A Lesson In The Art of War: A Meeting of Two Monsters

200KM North of the Velrius Border: 1900hrs Amid falling flakes of snow, sonic booms from fighter-jets racing across the sky, and the muffled clickity clank of tank treads plowing through the tundra...an unusually large beast bolted through the permafrost-stricken land. Thick sheets of frozen mist c...

My Little Closet of Monsters

The world in which we inhabit is in a constant shift. The growth and development of countless life forms, the technological and genetic perfections, and an all-around relaxed lifestyle has blessed the planet Soran as we once knew it. Several of the near-perfect species that roamed the earth became k...

Earth-F67X

Earth-F67X History: In the year 2007, long before inter-dimensional space-travel had been achieved, long before man knew how to generate a black hole without annihilating himself and the rest of Earth in the process, and long before the astronomers realized that moving the rest of civilization to M...

Re: Punch you in the face!(open fite)

I'll accept now that I'm actually in a good position to be posting what with having a laptop now. Sorry SubjectThirteen but, your posts were seriously boring the hell out of me, and even after I got my crap taken care of on AL I couldn't muster up the resolve to throw up a reply. You going on a vaca...

Re: SubjectThirteen Vs. Alucroas

The Greed's sleek hammerhead boon tore a gash within the clouds, its sharp front resonating with a thin red line of energy, briefly illuminating the fluffy, white things while its shadow seemed to fully consume the entire area. Ion engines in the back emitted a low electrical whirring sound, every s...

Re: Is Waterboarding Torture and Should it Be Condoned if su

The article I linked before is pretty good proof, and you haven't argued it against it yet. Quote something from it, like I did, and then you'll have a legitimate argument. You argue with me, not the article. Doesn't that imply that you think it works, or at least think there's a significant probab...

Re: Is Waterboarding Torture and Should it Be Condoned if su

Where did I say it works or didn't work. My argument has to do with whether or not I condone it, not whether or I think it's a valid means of extracting information from someone we know is trying to endanger our lives. That we do know, and that's reason enough to validify the usage of torture. So, ...

Re: Is Waterboarding Torture and Should it Be Condoned if su

Unless we actually hook it up to someone who's being tortured, and record the data then all that is really just an unconfirmed theory designed to discredit the validity of torture. It has to be tested in the field, not in a science lab.

Resurgam: If you don't want to get into a flamewar with me, then don't waste an entire post trying to lure me into one that way you'll seem like the "Good guy" in this argument. I already know I'm the perceived bad guy or Devil's Advocate in this case. Anyway, since you didn't bother to to...

Re: Is Waterboarding Torture and Should it Be Condoned if su

I think this is probably the crux of the debate. So what is 'the perspective of a survivalist'? Morals are out the window? When it comes to torturing people, yes, I have absolutely no problem with tossing morals out the window. From the perspective of the torturer he is likely attempting to obtain ...

Re: Is Waterboarding Torture and Should it Be Condoned if su

Using rationality, empathy and a sense of justice to make moral judgements is exactly what defines civilisation. Except I'm arguing from the perspective of a survivalist, not a moralist. As for your second point: I said mild PTSD for a reason not full-blown I-can't-get-to-sleep-at-night-without-loo...

Re: Is Waterboarding Torture and Should it Be Condoned if su

So, because the torture isn't physical in nature, it's not really torture. Oh, the toture is physical, but it doesn't leave any damage. Are you slow or something? If I punch you in the face, you'll be left with a black-eye, but that black eye will only stay for maybe a few days or a week tops depen...

Re: Is Waterboarding Torture and Should it Be Condoned if su

Really? The members of al-Qaeda aren't trying to protect something dear to them? Actually the main reason that people join is because they are trying to protect their countries and their families from a nation that invades, blows up and terrorises their people. You would probably feel the same way ...

Re: Is Waterboarding Torture and Should it Be Condoned if su

Most parents would kill or brutally beat anyone who threatened their child, which therefore makes anyone who says torture is wrong to protect their country an automatic hypocrite. That exact same mindset is brought to torture, only in the case of torturing a person we're talking about the protection...

Re: Resident Evil Movies

Yeah, they really did a royal job of fucking the game in the ass with their incredibly shitty story-telling, cutting out of key characters, and not even being able to stick to the plot. I mean c'mon, Alice has psychic fucking powers? Where the hell did psychic power come in at ANY point during the g...
