I don't know everyone so well now, but if had shut down then, some jokers would've lost their lives. Sad, but true. We're just THAT good here. ;) -Justin

My only current anger problem is jealousy. I can get [i]very[/i] annoyed whenever another guy starts messing with my girlfriend. It's probably one of the stupidest reasons to get mad, but that's where my problem is. -Justin

My personal favorite manufacturer is Ford. I just like their engine and their cars better. My favorite line of cars is the Mustang line. However, my current favorite car is the '70 Chevelle SS454. Man, that's a sexy beast. -Justin

Heh, James, I have to correct you. Actually, Shinji DID remove your administrative capabilites, as I remember. He just dind't delete your account, making it easier to get you your control back, whenever I finally got in touch with you. Heh, those were the days. I think we've always said that OtakuBoards has one of the most colorful histories of any online forum. But, indeed. There was no elaborate hacking. Shinji just used what he had to cause a little havoc. James, kuja, and myself just sat up all night and tried to fix things. There were a couple other, besides us three.But overall, the rest is just a myth. -Justin

We created this forum for this purpose...we don't need a thread to do the job of the forum... By the way, your avatar is [i[definately[/i] against the rules. -Justin

I can't tell you how shocked I was when this topic turned up. But he had a point and he didn't seem to bring it up just for the heck of it. So, it seems fine to me. If anyone disagrees, close it. -Justin

Heh, there's only one point in your post directed to me that I haven't already discussed with you, gokents. That I will get now: This man who changed the world DID, indeed, defy the laws of science. But...you have to think like this...He is God. God created [i]everything[/i], the laws of science included. If God is all-powerful, which the Christian God is, He can therefore bend, break, defy or destroy [i]any[/i] of His creations. Therefore, defying the rules of physics cannot be used as an arguement. That's a miracle, and can only be explained as such. -Justin

If you meant that post to be taken seriously, you didn't present it as though you did. You may not see God as that great. I didn't either until He did something in my life. I guess that's a matter of opinion. The sad thing about all of it is, is that you never get the chance to really know until after it's too late. So, you better hope you're right. -Justin

Holy crap, this is old. I'll leave it open, though, seeing as how your intentions seem well and your post os more than valid. Anyway, my favorite was v2, I think. Though, v4 was tyte, also. As for this version, it's better, feature-wise, than ever. -Justin

The thing is, if we divided it up even more, there would be far less posts in each individual subforum. We would soon realize that all or most of the subforums weren't even worth being there, because of lack of activity. So, even though it's a small inconvenience, it's better if it stays. -Justin

Actually, most historians look to the Bible as one of the most historically accurate texts in existance. And most archeologists agree that Mesopotamia was the 'Cradle of Life.' Whether you're a creationist or an evolutionist, it seems the most liklely place in either case. Also, if you'd ever take time to actually [i]read[/i] the Bible, instead of just posting like you know all things, you'll find the Bible is well more than a simple guide for living. I can go to the corner store and find a good guide for living. Most of it [i]is[/i] presented as a documentation of history. I'd also like to know where you get the idea that something biblical needs secondary confirmation to be considered fact. Is that your standard, or the standard of some organization you're a part of? It's certainly not mine. -Justin

Excellent, Duomax. You are absolutely right. According to the Bible and(I assume) the Torah, the Palestinians decendants [i]were[/i] there first. However, this fact still remains in the hearts of both Christians and Jews--God [i]gave[/i] that land to the Isrealites. So, if that were to be true, what does the rest matter. So, I guess we Americans have no right to be living comfortably in our homes doing much of what we please because this land belong to Native Americans. In any case, if you're not following a historical standard, the land still belongs to Isreal. They have the military might, and they also have the backing of the largest super power in the world, so I'd honestly like to see someone take the land from them. Even if someone did, I guarantee they'll just get it back. Again, excellent point, Duomax. I honestly hadn't thought of that until you brought it up. But, their killing of those original inhabitants of Canaan was God's judgment of those original inhabitants. Those people had known God and been His followers as much as the Irealites in the past, but they turned away. God didn't take as kindly to that back in the day. Most people also often assume that those were fairly peaceful people who just happened to be in the way. Not true. By both modern standards and the standards of the time, they were [i]very[/i] unacceptable, to use a friendly term. The starnge thing is, they were no worse than modern day America. I think we better all be thankful God is the merciful God He is. -Justin

Yes, being on topic sounds wonderful. But first, The Big Guy is the one who makes the judgment calls. So leaving Him out is not an option for you. And second, God does give a fair trial when He judges someone. He already knows all sides of any arguement, and He has the final say on what is right and what is wrong anyway. He doesn't have to get the popular opinion from a jury. Now third, if you kill my mother, you had best not do it in front of me. Because I assure you, if you were to kill my mother in front of me, my humanness would take over...and you'd find out how real God is much quicker than you expected to. Is that a sin on my part? Of course. That's why I thank God daily for His mercy. We are all human. And the best we can do is all we can do. Anyway, I stick by my opinions. If any Christian feels than D&D stands in between them and God, by all means, they should have nothing to with it. But just because that has an affect on their faith doesn't mean it's that way for all Christians. My personal weaknesses are lust and temper and all those nasty little things that follow them. Therefore, I try and should try to seperate myself from sexual situations and confrontational situations. Not everyone has my problems, though. -Justin

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by Transtic Nerve [/i] [B]Well if they all can't have it then nobody needs to have it. After all it's just causing more bad thigns to happen. Seems rather ridiculous... fighting over some little hill, no matter what meaning it has. I guess peopel are too blinded by faith to see what truely is. [/B][/QUOTE] That's like if someone were to want to take your house from you and you wouldn't give it to them. Now suppose SEVERAL people want it, do you let two or three live in various rooms? I hope not. The land belongs to Isreal. That's that. I think they've already given Palestine more than what they should've had by giving the the West Bank and Gaza. -Justin

The difference in hardcore and heavy metal? How would I go about explaining that? Kinda like the difference between a rock with rough edges but appealing colors, and a sheet of cold steel. Both are hard, but one just has more meaning. Anyway, I don't absolutely hate KSE. I'm just not their biggest fan. As DK said, it's their sound. -Justin

[i]What it is to Burn[/i] isn't exactly new, lol. But finch really is an awesome band. -Justin

There's a difference, though, in judging someone and telling them they're wrong. Judging them would actually condemning them and punishing them for their sin. Telling them they're wrong, why, and if they're interested, what they can do about it is helping them out and spreading the Gospel. See the difference? -Justin

I think a live action DBZ movie would be...interesting. -Justin

I think it'd be cool if the message you missed were somehow transfered to the email notification, also. -Justin

I believe people only have a right to judge in their best interests. For instance, choosing not to hang out with someone on weekends because that someone could distract you from your intended goal in life. And for the first person to say something like "Well, if you really had a strond faith, you wouldn't be led away." I say, in the most kindly of ways, "Shut up." Just because we follow Christ, and attempt to be more like, doesn't mean we ever will. So we, like anyone else, have to watch the situation we put ourselves in. However, just because I choose not to hang out with so-and-so on weekends, doesn't mean that I shun them at school and places like that. In fact, the opposite should be true; but that's another story. And just because I choose not to hang out with so-and-so on weekends, doesn't mean I have the right to say "You're evil, you're going to Hell and there's no hope for you. Now, bow down to me and kiss my big toe." That's not my place, or my power. That's the general position of the Bible on man's judgment of man. Protect yourself, but don't condemn the lost. -Justin

A dark jungle... Ablazen with idiocracy... Frustration boils my soul. I strike as a hammer on red metal... The portal through which "enlightenment" travels. Suddenly... The connection is made. . . "Welcome." -Justin

As Semjaza said, use the '[img]' and the '[/img]' before and after the URL of the the pic. :) -Justin

Away to the Poetry and Literature Forum we go! *swoosh!* -Justin
