Chaos

Even with ink cartridges, the M82A1 bucked hard under the snowdrift, sending ovals of green phosphorescent paint hurtling through a cold winter and into warm BDUs. Three shots fired, three men stopping in their tracks. The door to the communications tower was closed, but not locked. If the strike team had any chance or need of retreating, the ground floor would have to be secure. When Vae heard the orders from Phantom Panther, he instantly changed. His bored, mild attitude vanished as his right eye squeezed shut in favor of his left peering down his scope. Blood roared through his body and with it adrenaline as well. His muscles tightened up as his one open eye gained a flash of rage. Five more shots rang out, snow being thrown from the mound due to the force of the gun's recoil. Four men dropped their weapons and took a knee, with the exception of the fifth soldier that ran along. He managed to slip a little just as Vae's round darted past. Vae pulled his rifle along, marking his bead some feet ahead of his target. This one wasn't going to get away. This one got lucky. With a shattering blast, the hammer collided with a large, brass shell and the resulting explosion sent an otherwise-round ball into an almost gelatinous blob. With unnerving accuracy, the semi-hard round slammed stunningly forcefully into the ear of the remaining soldier just as he was a few yards from the entrance of the communications tower. Mixed in with neon green was a tint of crimson. Vae could only smile as he heard the tinny screams over the cold, dead air. Then he heard the diesel engine. He turned slowly within his little mound, and saw the flatbed carrying some twenty men with heavy weapons. M60s, M240s, SR-25s, and even a few M16A2s. It was going down a particularly crisp trail of tire marks, a low spot in the canyon where the snow did not sink and slip as much as on a rise up higher. It had been used three times today. Once to shuttle an electrician, again to bring a few guards, and now. Vae sneered at the sheer idiotic predictability of his superiors. Command Harrier might be in charge of this field operation, but his captains knew nothing of counter-surveillance. Taking out the small detonator clipped at his waist, he slid down the safety lock and flipped open the cover that protected the firing trigger. A twitch of the finger at the right moment sent twin explosions on either side of the flatbed, showering it and its occupants in bright paint, a sign showing that the claymores buried in the thin snow would have killed an entire squad of men instantly. "No problem down here, sir. A walk in the park..."

"Copy that, sir." Vae listened as the others confirmed orders. The world seemed to crawl by the lens of the scope he peered from, resting within a snow bank, his M82A1's barrel the only thing to welcome a wandering eye. Even now, buried under snow, he could see, as if by a remote camera, the actions and reactions of his team's insertion to the "hostile" territory. With a round going off from the sniper, someone would radio in for a report. Gunshots can be heard for miles in the dead of night. An investigation would be launched, a "dead" sniper would be found, and the entire area would be seething with guards. "Sir, do you copy? Over." Vae sounded bored, oddly enough, even though his eyes were constantly twitching at the slightest flick of movement the wind created. "Go ahead, Vae," Phantom Panther replied. "Might wanna tell someone to pop some fizz and get their communications down until we can enter the building. And want me to keep scanning the treeline?" "Copy that, Vae. Over and out," Phantom said, a tone of authority in his voice. "One more thing," Vae said, and unconsciously smiled. "Go ahead, Vae." "Got those thermoscans, sir," Vae chuckled. "And it looks like one hell of a party in there." "Copy that, Vae. Remain in position until chaff clears and we have clear entry." "Ten-four, sir." Vae adjusted his grip on his rifle's handle, and moved, ever-so-slowly to gain a better eye of the far side of the canyon.

Fourteen and madly in love? Yeah, right. Screw your friend. If you like him, go for it. Then again, men are pigs, aren't we, so are you so sure you really want him? Now, if you'll excuse me, I must smirk at the irony of this...

Taking a perch, he can effectively map out an area up to five klicks with just his senses. Also fairly talented with his rifle and known for a unique practice of hand-to-hand combat. [b]Weapon of Choice:[/b] [u][url=http://www.otakuboards.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=21656&stc=1]Barrett .50 Caliber M82A1[/url][/u] An extremely powerful rifle with low recoil. Known throughout the world as a beast of a gun, with optimum efficiency of up to a mile, can put a hole through an engine block of a deuce from such a distance. With ten rounds in a full clip, at a semi-automatic rate, this weapon is exceptional in the hands of a trained warrior. [u][url=http://www.hkpro.com/socomproto.jpg]Mark 23 Mod 0 Special Operations Command Pistol[/url][/u] Or, SOCOM, if you prefer. Standard equipped with a LAM (Laser Aiming Module), this .45 hand cannon hits hard and accurate. At fifty yards, shots can be rung in at two inches apart, an astounding feat for any weapon. It also has an average expectancy life of 29,000 rounds fired, even under the harshest of conditions. It is a force to be reckoned with when placed in the care of an expert.

Also maintained high scores using the LANDSAT system to map terrain from a standard-issue combat-efficient laptop. Left Rangers for FOXHOUND after a FUBARed mission in which he injured a member of his squad. Still in his loft, he fired at an enemy chasing after his second-in-command, grazing the Captain and killing the enemy soldier. While there was not much reprimandment to be had, he still left in order to start over in a new squad. [b]Note:[/b] Nanomachines present in subject's bloodstream. Official contact channel is 141.97.

That's overly strict? No, that's just them loving you. They want the best for you, and so they of course are going to say you can't go if they don't agree with it. How old are you, by the way, Heezay? And answer wrist cutter's questions. That might solve a lot of the confusion. If you're younger than I am, I can understand your parents not letting you out after, say, eleven, even on a weekend. I don't agree with it, yeah, and I think it sucks, but I can understand your parents' reasons. All in all, we all think our parents, at least at one point in our lives, are too stict. But when you get older and see how things work, you understand why they want you to stay away from so-and-so, or study so hard for the Chem test next week.

Reserving a sign-up as a recon/demo expert. Yes, I have permission to do this. A bit busy right now, though.

Oh, I sure as hell can. They're working a job that they most likely got because they needed money. They have to be pecked, clawed, flapped, and squawked at for hours on end. You should be surprised you don't see one of them with a torch to burn their eyes out. I've been around chickens for an extended period of time, and I can tell you, I can respect a man that can deal with them on a daily basis. And I'll pretend I didn't see the other part of that post.

[QUOTE=Baron Samedi][size=1]I saw that Chaos had replied and was like "Oh, God". Anyway, it's the principle of the thing. Unnecessary. Wanton. Cruelty. Hope someone spikes [i]him[/i] onto a conveyor belt. Hope he loses his job. Whatever, lol.[/size][/QUOTE] I love having that affect. :D You would rather have a hard-working American lose his job because he spiked a chicken? If anything, the damn thing would have been lucky to have a broken neck so it wouldn't have to react violently when it got its throat slit. For God's sake, enough of this *****-footed tiptoeing. I'd say the world is in a damn awful shape when we raise a debacle about how our chicken gets killed.

I just have to wonder what dumbasses first worried about chickens going to a KFC-supporting slaughterhouse in the first place. Anyway, we as people have in the past few decades suddenly sprouted a bouqet of flowers out our ***** for animals' rights. I mean, really, a chicken squaks like you shoved a firecracker down its throat if you flinch at it. Sure, beating a chicken with a shovel might be a little painful, but, come on. There are much better ways to spend non-profit donations. Not to mention that the damn bastards are going to be sectioned off anyway, I don't see why we have to shed a tear over our deep-fried two-piece dinner. Personally, I laughed my *** of when I read about the guy spiking the chicken. I might wanna check out that video now... Edit: Also, did you know that chickens often react violently when they have their throats slit? I'd have never have guessed that. Screw instincts, I figured the chickens would have pulled out a magazine and silently bled to death while reading an interesting article. Please, people, this is standard PETA propaganda. It shows the worst of any light. They said these chickens were being hurled around like it was a game of poultry dodgeball. The chickens were lightly tossed, not pitched like Brett Farve has his hand up their shaft.

Budokai 2 is actually my least favorite of the series. The graphics are better than the original Budokai, but it changed some things too much. Story mode, for example. Dragon World is too slow, too blocky to be real fun. Not to mention the game lacks the nicely-done real-time movies like the first one featured. Budokai 2's addition of letting you be able to power up cetain attacks to do more damage was nice, as was the easier energy moves, but they become pretty cheap after a while [Majin Vegita's Final Explosion is so damn hard to fully charge up, and battles can sometimes limit themselves to firing Kamehamehas at each other.] Budokai 3 looks good to me. Maybe not gold, but good enough. Personally, if you really want to get a feel for the series I suggest you rent the first one before you do Budokai 2.

[quote name='Cyriel'] Yes, according to our worldly thoughts and habits, we have to work for what we get. I understand you completely (well, maybe not completely, because I'm not you), and I would also say that that would be unfair to those who have followed Christ all their lives. But the thing is that God considers all of us as his children - why would he turn away any child from his side? Just as in the Bible, there's the story of the prodigal son, who goes and just spends all his money, and returns home as a failure, but still is welcomed wholeheartedly. And the elder son basically asks what you ask, and the father answers that the elder son only has to ask him, and he shall get whatever he desires. But the thing is, if you love someone, would you turn them away? If you offered them salvation, and they accepted it, even though it was last minute, would you turn them away? God and Christ love all of us, and they will rejoice when anyone comes and acknowledges them, even if it is last minute like the thief. Instead of saying they don't deserve it, why not rejoice that they've been saved? [/quote] You pretty much proved the point that the Christian chruch is just feeding us a load of crap. Based on what you just said, I could kill sheep in the name of some Egyptian goddess for my entire life, but think I'm wrong at the last second of my life and receive the same blessings as someone who devoted their entire life to the worship of God. The church just wants to keep us around to put those five and ten dollars in the collection plate. [quote]I believe that people can express their beliefs in nonviolent ways. I don't believe in abortion, unless under special circumstances. However, I don't go picket because 1)too far away, and 2)it's just not how I choose to express my beliefs. But I'm not everyone, and I can't say that what they're doing is right or wrong - who am I to judge them? But I can say that if it offends you, or gives you negative views of Christians, all I can say is that I'm sorry, and that if I could do something, I would. As for never trusting someone who wears a turban, I can only say that I have friends of almost every racial and cultural background and diversity. Do they wear turbans? No, but they're girls, so I don't think that they're supposed to...but their origins are Middle Eastern, and one of them is a direct immigrant. Am I afraid of them? No.[/quote] Believe it all you like, the fact of the matter is the more...enspirited...of the Christian community opens its mouth far too often. The fact that people scream out "baby killer" and crap like that on a daily basis shows that they are liars, claiming to live life accepting all others as God's children, but can't even get over their own, moronic ideals to see that some people have to make money. [quote]Again, I have to say that I'm sorry. If only I could express to you that the majority of those who call themselves Christians are in direct opposition to this, and are outraged, and at the same time extremely saddened. But these incidences in which leaders' failures to uphold their beliefs, even when they preach them to other people, is like a reminder to me to uphold mine - to show that Christianity is not meant to be a hypocrisy, but a relationship with God. To show what true trust and love in God and Christ is.[/quote] Please, don't lecture me on the Christian morality code. I know full well that most priests haven't laid a hand on children. It's the fact that those that did lied about it. We can no longer trust the men who used to be the revolution of most communities. No matter how you view the incidents, it's how it affects the majority of people. Couple that with all of the rubbernecking to get their nose in every slightly controvercal matter, and we have a serious problem. [quote]For Christians, I think that the goal is that we establish such a relationship with God so that we no longer have to "shuttle back and forth." Instead, God becomes a [I]part[/I] of our daily lives. Going to church isn't a bad thing - it's a place and time where we can gather with other Christians in fellowship, and to worship God together. It's even said in the Bible that Christians should go to church, so that they can learn more and grow more in their faith, and that fellowship with other Christians leads to a stronger relationship with God.[/quote] We need others to influence us on our stance with God? Do you even buy that? How can fellowship with a bunch of idiotic, dull, slow fools help you enlighten yourself to God? If you go to church daily, I'm sorry. You're wasting far too much time on something you don't even need to leave the house for. As long as you hold God in your heart, you don't need **** else. [quote]Other religions meaning...outside of Christianity? Or those sects in Christianity? I know some people believe that only Lutherans will go to Heaven, or only Baptists, or only Presbytarians...etc. Frankly, I don't believe this. These divisions exist only due to small differences in each of them, such as the custom of baptism, like when, and how, and so on... But the core of each of these is the same - we believe and love God, and we believe and love Christ, who died to save us from sin. As for those religions outside of Christianity, like, for example, Buddhism, or Hinduism, the sad fact is that they will go to hell. Is this my choice? No. I don't like the idea any better than anyone else - why do I want people to die? But the truth is that if they don't believe and accept Christ into their lives, there's no way for them into Heaven. Even Christ says that there's only one way to God and salvation, and that's through Him.[/quote] All other religions are, according to the literal principles, yes, wrong. Either you're in or out. Game over. And, of course, the Christian community doesn't bother thinking it just may be wrong, and you of course, accept this from day one. Throughout history, every single religion has been right. So, what do we, as Christians, do? Be the true bigots of the world and force ourselves on everything and assimilate everything we can. Do we have historical proof that Jesus walked the earth? No. Do we have factual evidence that if we believe in God, we'll go to heaven? No. Don't take this to heart. It's just the other side of the fence.

Oh, please, Charles, you act like I'm saying Budokai 3 is the be all to end all. Hell, Tekken 3 had more depth as far as button combinations go. I just happen to think the Budokai series is insanely fun, if only for the sheer destructive ability of the characters. Same reason for watching the show; see **** explode. It's not like any part of the series, both animated and games, have any astounding philisophical advancements to society to offer. I plan on getting this game because, yes, although the games are shallow, they are fun to me. Speaks volumes for my personal worth, eh? :D By the way, Chuck, the only reason I don't have San Andreas is because I'm flat broke. -_- But, I'm gettin' a serious flow of cash soon, so GTA, MGS3, Killzone, SOCOM II, POP2, and Budokai 3 are all on my list. But, hey. I still think this'll be a fun-*** game. PS: Where does "Buror[b]i[/b]" change to "Broll[b]y[/b]"?

Actually, Chuck, this installment looks to have more promise than the first. The graphics are better than ever, there are more ways to lay the smackdown, and there's Brolli [And I swear, the next time someone spells it Broly or Brolly, they gonna get served.] to make things interesting. The teleport and the constant draining of energy gives us some depth. We can finally dash backwards instead of that lame-*** hop, and it seems, from what I've heard, the "mass destruction" scene changes are back. Of course, the damage could be more progressive [getting hit with a Final Flash and your clothes get all torn up, you bleed some more], the standard ki blasts could be changed and more adaptive, although it looks like you can do four-shot barrages now. The game has ability, I just wish they would make the move executions a little more complicated and not as rigid. Sure, it's [i]mostly[/i] a kid's game, but eh. Kids today are smart. In any case, Charlie my man, you're gonna have to get Budokai 3, so you can fight my radically and insanely strong Brolli. That, people, is another new feature. Budokai 3 features a sort of RPG point system. You can either accomplish parts of the story mode to gain points or play in Dragon Arena, which pits you against different levels of difficulty [COM] with various characters. The harder the opponent, the more points. The points stick around for as long as you have your file, I believe. If I remember correctly, they are Health, Ki, Strength, Defense, Ability, and COM. Remember in how Budokai 2, Furiza and Buu had blue and purple bars? Raise your Health stat enough, and you can too. In Budokai 3, the ki bars are not the same size. The more you pump in your Ki stat, the longer the bars become, and the slower those longer bars deplete, substaining your transformations that much longer. Strength and Defense are "dur" simple. More strength and your attacks do more damage. More defense, the better you can absorb hits. Ability, I do reckon, speeds up your attacks, lessens the depletion of ki when you use special attacks. COM is your character's AI. This comes into play when you leave the edit stat portion. It gives you a code. You give that code to a friend. They go to Dragon Arena. They enter the code. They basically fight you. The higher the COM stat, the harder your character will be. Not exactly online, but hey, a nice feature. The new fighting system, the Saiya-jin Overdrive Fighting System, actually records, somewhat, your common techniques. If you use your Death-type moves [Kamehamehas, Destructive Wave, Galick Gun] a lot, so will your COM. If you are a defensive type that shifts and dodges a lot, your COM will be hopping like a fool on fire. Budokai 3 has no truly monumental changes, but it does have some noticable differences from the other installments. It also has enough subtle changes to keep it relatively fresh for a good reach of time. Don't get me started on the uuber-cool beam battles, either... Okay, found a picture [in English] for the stat system; [url]http://www.gamespot.com/ps2/action/dragonballzbudokai3/screens.html?page=60[/url] I think Arts affects your physical moves like I said above. Ability probably changes the use of ki, or something. *shrug* Either way, I'm down with this game. Kakarot gonna get his *** stomped by the Legendary Super Saiya-jin. **** ain't been this good since the Butouden series.

You assume far too much, Baron. Different life experiences make for different brain patterns. It can be shown as electrical stimuli between the lobes that people respond differently to the same thing. Don't give me this ******** about all humans must have remorse and it sticks with you your entire life. There are people that have killed someone and not looked back on it. I know because I've met several. Don't lecture on **** that can't possibly be true for as long as every person has some form of individuality. More on spot, what defines hate as making us "just exploding when we get angery."? Hate is an emotion, not the resistance to act on an emotion. I hate daily. I get enraged at the stupidest ****. It's hard for me not to get mad when someone does something stupid or retarded. What you're talking about, running man, is just not acting on fury. Just thought I'd bring that up. Also, Baron, read up on reports done in the last few years on games before you decide to shoot off.

[quote name='Cyriel']Umm, actually, I think that studies have proven that violent video games increase the tendency of violence in children and teens... How is that an effective way to release your anger? You're killing people.[/quote] Actually, the studies done by most universities and institutions show the ones that go on murderous rampages are usually the quiet ones who [i]don't[/i] vent. Not only do violent video games help work our problems from under our skin, they also improve hand-eye coordination and multi-tasking skills. Since it IS a video game, we can do things we normally wouldn't do. We CAN blow up cars. We CAN shoot people in the head. We CAN slice somebody with a katana. And it doesn't hurt anybody. On to the point, sheer willpower, I think. Trust me, I have just as short a fuse as any redblooded American, and the reason I don't snap at the slightest twitch [at least not physically] is because there are usually dire consequences. I don't feel like getting arrested just because some dude brushed by me in the WalMart. You feelin'?

Of course things change with time. Isn't that the root of all evils? Or is that greed? Hmm, either way, changes, big and small, have usually led to some monumental shift in the progression of average life. Adahn, I rarely enjoy the ability to assume, so I will guess you think most people are trying to live by the Bible? Let me sum it up, at least how I wrap my mind around it; the Bible isn't an instruction manual for life, but instead a roadmap that's introverted. It shows us how life was before a divine grace accepted people within paradise, and it showed us how to obtain said paradise. It tells us to treat others as we would like to be treated, to be kind unto our fellow man and do not seek worldly gain over spiritual enlightenment. Therein lies the problem. A thief, nailed to tree timbers, probably not ten feet from God's only son, had lived his life a criminal and a forsaker of the teachings of the likes of Moses. Upon his dying day, he gave up himself to the mercy of God, and was forgiven. Does anyone see the hypocrisy? We are taught in church to lead a life of shining accomplishment and to help someone who has fallen below his mark. We are taught by the Bible the suffering of the past for the salvation of the future. We are taught Jesus died for the forgiveness we so sorely lacked, and that if we follow in his footsteps, we will ascend to sit at his side for all time. Yet a thief who, in the eleventh hour, asked for penance, joined angels on high? That makes no sense at all. We are told to be compassionate to all types of people. We are told to await with open arms to forgive those who are ready to apologize. So what do we do? We picket out in front of Congress and abortion clinics. We protest the use of stillborn children to help in radical medical benefits. We teach our children to never trust someone who wears a turban. We are told to uphold the Ten Commandments by priests who molest alter boys. We are told that God is always with us, but we still have to shuttle back and forth between our daily lives and church. We are told that all other religions are wrong, and that they will burn in Hell, while we are the ones who blindly follow the Bible like it is a DNA sample or a carbon-14 trace. See where I'm going with this? I'm sure, at one point in time, the Christian religion was on the right track...but now, it's better for people to decide their own agreements with God.

Adahn, to the foremost question, it wasn't really funny, just that I barked out at the Crusades thing. Make no mistake, I disapprove of nearly everything the church in ye olde tymes did, but you have to think from a different point of view from modern day society and morality if you want to understand some things in life. The Crusades, way back when, during a time of complete and total hopelessness and gruesome wars, the people needed a united front to support each other with. Granted, the Crusades didn't get all of Europe singing "Glory, glory hallelujah," but it gave them purpose. It was a horrible thing to do, in all honesty, but it was needed at the time. Get what I'm saying? To the next thing, you make Christians all sound out to be evil minions of the dark overlord trying to monopolize the children of the world. Granted, as a raised and broken Chrisitan, I know how...idiotic the faith can be, but it was always on the pretext of bettering the world around you. I would call most Christians far too overzealous for their own good [the ones that spend a couple hundred bucks on Jesus CDs], but not dastardly. But, yes, the Christian faith is blind. I would go into a long debacle but I fear I already crossed that line I'm so fond of leaping over.

Somewhat off of the topic, but the following line just sparked a laugh; "The Crusades were a terrible thing" How could any self-respecting Christian say such a thing? It's the same thing as a Jew calling the U.S.' involvement in World War II pestering. You have to remember, everyone, that the actions of the past were righteous in the past. Hitler was a god to Nazi-era Germany. He brought them out of the Great Depression, promoted a strong, industrial growth, and invoked a fire within the denizens that supported a stout little man with an entirely ******-up view of the world. You see my point? It's like a little political cartoon that's been around forever; A pillar, with a circular column, and a square base, with the words "The law" etched in the side. There are two judges, one on the left, one on the right. The one on the left says "It's round!" and the one on the right, kneeling at the base, says "It's square!". It shows just how radically things can change from person to person. Holocaust, Crusades, Gulf Wars, Vietnam, Revolutionary War, and so on. To apply this to the point at hand, the life experiences we, well, experience, shape us forever, however minimally. Every single person will have a sidelong look at someone else's opinion on life, heaven, and hell. One will say this, one will say that. Christianity is not the way. Islam is evil. Hinduism is a paganism abomination. The solution to this obvious clash? Rewind the clock fifty years. Keep personal matters personal. Don't express family matters. Don't involve politics with war and the media with war. The other ways around, too. Treat each person you don't know with mild respect. Nod to someone on the street when you make eye contact by accident. Say "Have a nice day" when someone gives you your change at the grocery. No need to be all sunshine and flowers, just quietly go about your business. A simple smile or acknowledgment of another human being can make your or his day all the much better. Don't protest wars. They lead to riots and tear gas. Don't protest abortion. That's someone else's choice that they must live with. Don't criticize the administration policies of the government unless you have a law degree and training to handle public affairs. Mind. Your. Own. Business.

Word to the wise; ph33r the soap box. Really though, I have to ask one thing; how old are you, pal? If you're as old or older than I am, which I doubt by your common "angst" errors, then you first of all shouldn't be going with a fourteen year old girl. If you're as old as her or younger, you shouldn't think you're in love. Just because she works your crank doesn't mean you're in love. I hate kids that do that. That "Yes, I'm only eleven, but I LOVE HER!" ****. Pisses me off. You can't claim to be in love without facing a couple of decades or so of trials and tribulations. In order to love you have to know what it is to fail. Because, by moral connection, love is what brings people above the **** world we're in. I, in no way, claim to know what love is or how it is obtained, but short of you being a middleaged dude going through a mid-life crisis, you shouldn't worry to much about what your balls think about this girl.

My advice? Use a rubber. That or find some other girl to mess around with. Don't need to worry if that little dot is a cold sore or the gift that keeps on giving; just find some ***** that doesn't do the hotfoot hop-around with everybody with hands. Sidenote: What's wrong with ole boi Fifty? Does listening to rap automatically make a you Menace II Society [I love that movie, by the way.]? Eh, you just give me a bad vibe, kiddo. Whine whine, she likes other people, whine whine, I have problems, whine whine, blame minorities, whine whine. Since when do I bother with relationship threads? Don't mind me at all, folks. Just passing through...

Remind me to drown you in chicken broth for this. 7/10 for pure insanity.

I just wanna know...how many friends do you have in your real life? This isn't a play or nothin', but if you need to make an application form for a friend, then I think something is seriously lacking. PS. Are Suicide Aides accepted into your Squad?

It's all red tape. Either you have to wear uniforms because students kill other students for a shirt or uniforms are a restriction of the first amendment. Drop the subject because no one person has any say in the matter. Spend your time worried about something more import-- Did someone say cleavage?

Screw them all. Do what you want to do. Both A and J have no right in telling you what your boyfriend is or is not doing. Furthermore, A is helpless because it seems like a lost cause to be a friend of a nobody who whines about someone [i]else's[/i] significant other. Get you some booty from ol' boy and forget what the hell everyone has to say, because, in the end, it's not the path you took to get to the end of the road, but who you stepped over on the way. EDIT: PS. I'm so stealing those shades.

[QUOTE=DeathBug]We change our enviornment [i]now[/i], but it wasn't always like that. After all, we weren't always in control of our eviornment enough to change it; we had to survive long enough to get to that point. [/QUOTE] As soon as the recognizable [i]Homo[/i] genus appeared, their first action was to hunt down the animals around them, eventually forcing several species into extinction. I'd say that changed the environment. [quote name='DeathBug']It's not defacing if it helps us.[/quote] What kind of logic is that? Forgive my disbelief but I can't understand WHERE you got that notion. It may help us now, or even for the next five thousand years, but if it changed the face of the Earth and killed most local wildlife, then yes, it has defaced the planet. [QUOTE=DeathBug]Evolution is progression; how is progression a downfall? Of course we alter our enviornment; I never argued that. I'm for altering our enviornment to ways that suit us better. However, it is a fact that is constantly taken out of context.[/QUOTE] I'm in no way saying that we haven't helped ourselves and perhaps other species on the planet by changing it, just that we [i]have[/i] changed it. And you are right, people do need to understand that we do not affect the world as wholly as certain groups would have us think. [b]Random Hippie:[/b] "Your chemicals are poisoning the air!" [b]Random Scientist:[/b] "But...the air IS poison." O-o;; [b]Random Hippie:[/b] [Keanu]"...Whoa." [/Keanu] [quote name='DeathBug']Again, if it helps humans, I'm for it.[/quote] I can't blame you for saying that. I'd much rather live in an air conditioned house than a baking straw hut that burns every summer because of heat. [QUOTE=DeathBug]A fox manages to climb a tree to the birds' nest, and kills and eats the parent birds. Their babies die. The fox passes this skill onto its' offspring, and within one generation, then bird population in that area rapidly declines. These sorts of scenario ocurr naturally in the wild all the time, because the enviornment is not the static postcard people tend to imagine it as. It's changing with or without us.[/QUOTE] Granted, people don't seem to understand that the deer laping water from the stream while birds chirp overhead will be torn limb from limb in several moments, and that might radically kill off the population of second and third-level consumers and fourth level predators, letting the insect population skyrocket, and thus killing off the grass, making the bugs die out in a wide area which affects an even larger area. And while that may or may not happen with or without us, we still form the world around us, oft times negatively. We are insignificant crap-piles of genetic slop that have somehow worked our way to the top of the food chain and now decide we have the ability to blow up the world. [Nice run-ons, eh?] [quote name='DeathBug']Yeah; damn those algae.[/quote] Yes, damn them to a fiery Hell for single-handedly making the Earth hospitiable! [quote name='DeathBug']I read it in a Micheal Crichton books. =P[/quote] I'm guessing [u]Jurassic Park[/u], when Ian Malcolm is in the lodge with his injured leg and is ranting to Hammond and Sattler. [i]"...And that is why you think that to build a place like this was simple." "It [b]was[/b] simple," Hammond insisted. "Then why did it go wrong?"[/i] But that couldn't be, because Malcolm says "plant cells", not anything about plankton. So now that I think about it, maybe Andromeda Strain. A shame I don't have a copy of it here to look for it. =/
