It is part of Blizzards new DRM scheme to keep players in line. It forces anyone who legitimately purchases the game to login to their Blizzard account if they want to use the full features of their game while pirates sidestep all the hoops that Blizzard has set up for you. The new scheme is...

Is anyone else part of the revolt over Blizzard's Forced-Online checks? Or you all a bunch of fanboys?

"[...]ethics is the byproduct of biological evolution because humans that lived cooperatively in a society out-survived those that did not. Evidence being the majority of human beings in the world today." And it usually does through natural altruism. You don't have to give a concrete time...

Yes, I assume the social contract is a positive force. Without it we would have an anarchic system without any form of personal security. Humanity would never be able to rise above Maslow's second hierarchy and man would be little more than the lowest animals. Even dogs and cats have a form of...

Morals (as arbitrary as they are cultural) are inherently good for the community in that it helps to keep the social contract intact. And as times and technology changes, so do morals.

I'm not sure what I'm supposed to be reading in that entire thread, but I get the idea that this is a new "thang" that you guys are trying out. Have at it, but don't be surprised or angry if people drop in to make comments.

They are called Private Messages. Use them if you want to debate alone. If you want it judged, send the argument to your judge(s) by email. The only reason to have your own topic is for showing off (which may be construed as trolling). It in unnecessary.

If this is real, then it all could have been avoided with safe sex practices. You know, the type they don't teach in places like Texas. How people in Europe didn't get the message is beyond me.

Just because a law exists does not mean that it is a good, right or a just law. In Georgia, USA on Mondays, it is illegal for one to whistle very loud after 11:00 PM. (Ord. of 9-16-91, § 1 Sec. 3-5-24) Just because something exists does not mean it should be venerated.

Changing the definition of words to invent arguments is not how you are supposed to debate. Otherwise I could just define gods as things that can't exist and win automatically. "You say gods exist? Well, by my definition of gods, you LOSE!" Really! Language doesn't work that way. Everyone...

Sounds like something from The Onion.

The Ford F150 is a complex piece of machinery. But every Ford vehicle in existence increases the complexity since you have added more vehicles under a single label. Just as all manufactured vehicles is more complex containing even more different automobiles. The more generic your label, the...

Roses are flowers, therefore flowers is all encompassing and simple. :ohwell: I'm sure that a botanist would kick us in the head for implying such a thing as I am sure that a physicist would tell us that the more encompassing a label becomes the more complex it must necessarily be. All...

The burden of proof is on the individual who makes the assertion. In your case, I gather that you assert that your god exists and that he created the universe. Therefore the burden of proof of your god is on you. Only if I assert that "gods do not exist" or that "god did not create the...

If history has taught us anything, it is that when faced with overwhelming evidence to the contrary, religions change to suit the new perception of the world. People were burned at the stake for the heresy of saying that the Earth is not the center of the universe. But given enough time...
