no.

[quote who="Agent of Kharma" reply="248" id="2487603"] LOL. So you are attacking the fact that I think critically and think for myself, and you are defending appeal to authority, bandwagon jumping, and general support of the establishment and status quo. Furthermore, you back this up with personal attacks? I guess I win by default then.

lol. so kharma is an expert biologist, climate scientist AND engineer. must be really busy being him. until you've published something that completely blows evolution out of the water, the only thing you've done is prove you're full of unsubstantiated bollocks.
[quote who="niz032" reply="52" id="2487154"]@colonol_jesss GPGnet is horrible, GPG has the WORST internet out of any game. Demigod is based on the supcom engine thats why it's networking is so damn bad. [/quote] this is nonsense. supcom's networking is excellent. name another RTS where you can have almost 500 ping and it feels exactly the same as a LAN game. some people are really clueless.
its funny how karma resents being called a creationist, then brings up the irreducible complexity of the flagellum, THE (thoroughly debunked) flagship of ID proponents.
[quote who="psychoak" reply="138" id="2485029"] This happens every time, you tell an idiot that evolution is still a theory, and they jump up your ass for claiming to refute it. [/quote] uh, you do know what 'theory' in the context of 'theory of evolution' means don't you? http://www.notjustatheory.com/
im much more an SP player, but certain titles (imo virtually all real time strategy-like games) just dont have enough to offer without playing other people.
my argument is that until you produce something of significance, that improves upon or completely re-designs the theory of evolution, you're nothing but a loud mouth on the internet.
well, be sure to let us know when your idea(s) fundamentally alter our understanding of biology and you receive the nobel prize.
thanks for the info spooky, watching now (ive been offline for a few weeks so kinda behind). there's definitely some cool stuff in there, i liked the way one of those teleporting devices could be used by the enemy. but in all the screenshots i can find only 2 cybran lower tier units. i know everyone loves the experimentals but i always preferred the silly number of regular units to play with. i hope there's still more of the regular units to be shown :/
[quote who="Spooky__" reply="53" id="2482790"] i pointed out on no less than 2 occasions that the supcom 2 changes arent related to the 360At one point you said "the lack of big maps/heaps of units". There are big maps, and there still will be hundreds of units on the battlefield. Due to the performance optimizations, the maximum (unmodded) unit could probably be raised again (during the beta of Supreme Commander it even was at 10000 at one point ). [/quote] actually, what i said
i pointed out on no less than 2 occasions that the supcom 2 changes arent related to the 360 ;) i dont see how you can say the graphics are better. quite frankly i think they look like shit. graphics dont make a game of course and im really hoping to love it, but those eco and upgrade changes are a HUGE deal for me, and (as youre no doubt aware) other FA fans as well. oh, and lets not forget about the fewer number of units. i mean, have we seen anything other than that god-awf
oh, im sorry. so you have your own personal viewpoint concerning the origin of species. good luck with that champ.
thats fine and all, but the problem you guys have in advocating that argument is that such people or organisations do not compare to the power and influence held by groups that have much to lose from the greening of commerce and industry.
im not talking about the elite in western versus poor nations. im talking about the elite in western nations versus each other. big business on the whole has far more to lose from things like carbon trading ("tax grabs") than they have to gain. it is not economical to be environmentally friendly. one of the whole reasons there's been so much disinformation over the last 2 or 3 decades with regards to climate research is because big business has been flexing its big muscles and muddying t
[quote who="WIllythemailboy" reply="475" id="2482669"] It doesn't really matter if the majority lose out on the deal if those in power are raking in profits. The people making the decisions are making out like bandits, and that's all that really matters. In fact, this sort of thing is so common they developed a term for it: kleptocracy. This is just raising the profiteering to the international level. [/quote] you missed my point. those that so often "control" (i use the ter

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="471" id="2482616"] I've yet to see one of the AGW advocates in this thread explain why we're skeptical. Are we bought off by big oil? Do we have some sort of ideological axe to grind? Are we ignorant of science? What is it? [/quote] any/all of the above? mostly imo its ideological in nature. because environmentalism is part of the platform of the evil "left" all those that oppose the left feel they should oppose AGW as well, because in their

Denialism: the employment of rhetorical tactics to give the appearance of argument or legitimate debate, when in actuality there is none.

lol, kmarma is a creationist. that explains a lot. global warming deniers = holocaust deniers = creationists = 911 conspiracy theorists. all cut from the same mould.
