I can't really imagine a Gen III remake, just seems too early still to me, though I hope they do, and hopefully expand on it. I remember when I first played it after Generation II I was expecting another region to open up, like Kanto does in Generation II. I found that disappointing, but maybe add something like the Sevii Islands added to the Gen I remake?

I used to prefer Family Guy, though I think its recently gone downhill to the point where I just can't sympathise with most of the characters who have devolved into a**holes and its got quite predictable and just plain bad (though it looks like it might be picking up), so my favourite is American Dad, though I do still watch Family Guy now and again.

For me it has to be The Matrix Reloaded. After I first saw the first film I thought, "Wow that was awesome, and any sequel would truly be amazing", but on seeing the second I thought "Who the hell made this and did they even see the ending to the first film?" Its because where the second started compared to the first and its general irrelevantness that I hate it. Btw I think Revolutions was even worse, but as a sequel I'd significantly lowered my expectation by the time that came out, so "as a sequel" 2 was worst. For me it has to be The Matrix Reloaded.

Lol, definitely. I think they'll keep on making them till the end of time though, someone must watch them! Lol, definitely. I think they'll keep on making them till the end of time though, someone must watch them! |

I think Obama is going to win, and I think he'll probably be up against Mitt Romney (however much most of the Republican base dislikes him) because he's simply the sanest and most moderate candidate in the race. If he isn't then we'll probably see a Democratic landslide, simply the opposition is just that bad. I personally think that lots of people will just pick Obama as the lesser of two evils however disillusioned they are, and that the two party system is to blame for that. As a Brit I don't have a vote, and I would vote for neither Obama nor any of the potential candidates as none of them seem exceptable to me, and Obama is a is too much of a centralist for me.

Its funny isn't it? In any other subject if you make a thoroughly ridiculous claim (or hypothesis) then you have to find evidence to support it, but when it comes to religion and "god" its all taken the other way round. All beliefs are valid until they're disproved - and they have been disproved, a prehistoric god has been gradually reduced to a "god of the gaps". From humanity's original fear of the unknown and praying to the sun we still have religions holding on to whatever they can - and still contesting simple logic and facts on the more ridiculous levels. If you want to know how the universe could've been created without the need for a god look up Stephen Hawking's more recent work. Its funny isn't it?

On what are you basing claims that the Bible should be based figuratively? Most of the Old Testament, including the creation is told in a very straight forward and literal way. If you are interpretting it in any way other than that aren't you just comprimising the words to fit your own personal leanings and beliefs that Christianity doesn't conform to?

Lets see: The best comparison is atheist is to theist as gentile is to Jew. Gentile basically means NOT Jewish. That means EVERYONE else. Atheists are defined by what they don't believe, not what they do, so that is a VERY VERY diverse group. Basically atheism isn't a relgion because there are no common characteristics beyond that. If someone ever calls atheism a religion it just demostrates how little they understand it. There are atheist ideologies (communism would be an example of that) but these require far more than a common lack of belief in a god to define them.

I think you are all missing the point, in terms of Christopher Columbus, the other European powers don't matter. Judge him based on his own actions. He may be a cultural icon and seen positively in North America, but in the Caribbean (the area of the Americas he "discovered") he is known as brutal tyrant and genocidal maniac. In fact its like if we celebrated Pol Pot or Adolf Hitler, or Francisco Pizarro. It comes across as at best in extremely poor taste. Columbus enslaved the native population of the Caribbean islands he claimed for Spain and worked them to death for his own profit and that of the Spanish Empire. It really doesn't matter what the other European powers did later, Columbus and many of his contemporaries started the slave trade as we know it today. When the natives were worked to death, thats when they started importing slaves into the Americas. In fact Columbus was so brutal that Isabella of Castille (of Spanish Inquisition, and expulsing the Jews from Spain fame) actually called him out on it! So to conclude, Columbus was responsible for genocide and introducing slavery in its modern form to the New World. I don't think you can get much worse than that!

First off I agree with septembern (whether he/she agrees with that or is playing devil's advocate is irrelevant).
Next, NotJon, several points I want to make here: Population growth is linked more to poverty, and generally it come down to survival of genes. Very Darwinian but the less likely your children are to survive and the longer you live, the less children you are likely to have as survival takes a back seat to economic interests, so in actual fact cloning would merely be a drop in the ocean and population growth would be mainly thanks to poor conditions in Africa, the Middle East and India (which by 2050 is predicted to overtake China as the most populous country). I disagree with your Earth staying the same size. Earth is not overpopulated. Specific regions are overpopulated, but as a whole the Earth could probably accommodate double the current population at least. Russia's population for example is in rapid decline and I argue that humanity should be taking a more active role to try to harness the world to support the population. Macro-engineering projects can make this a reality, China is already building the Green Wall of China to hold the Gobi Desert at bay http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/monitoring/media_reports/1199218.stm And various projects have been proposed to free up more of the Earth's surface, including damming the Mediterranean and terraforming the Sahara Desert: http://www.guardian.co.uk/environment/2008/sep/02/alternativeenergy.solarpower If you look at these in the context of human history from irrigation to damming rivers and building the Panama Canal, its the next logical step up in engineering terms. I'm not suggesting these as an alternative but rather the other side of the coin to handling these problems, because if something radical isn't done in the next 50 years to curtail current population trends in South Asia, the Middle East and parts of Africa, some very big countries are set to become A LOT more unstable (including several nuclear powers) and that's without even considering cloning, which presumably if technology permits the kind of advancements, would still be beyond the reach of 99% of the people in these regions. I generally think that all avenues should be open to scientists to explore, including human cloning, as we don't know what we can learn and it would ultimately be beneficial for humanity as a whole. That said I would recognise any human clones as human with the same rights. When it comes down to it cloning is like any other technology, it can be used to bad or good. My only exception to this is dinosaurs - I've seen enough Jurassic Park to know better Next, NotJon, several points I want to make here: Population growth is linked more to poverty, and generally it come down to survival of genes.

True, I guess I have. Its been a while since I've been active on a board so I guess that's part the reason why I'm exploring, the other would be Pokémon Leaf Green failed to save my last save, so I didn't feel like continuing on with that file for a bit and didn't feel like going through all the tutorials for starting another similar game. I lost 30 pokemon, 10-15 levels on my team, 2 gym badges, have to defeat Team Rocket twice again to get back to the stage that I was at.
I'm currently playing Pokémon Leaf Green as mentioned above and Emerald. I have several pokemon games up to gameboy advanced with Pokémon Ruby as the most recent one (I also have Blue, Yellow, Gold and Crystal somewhere). I had an urge about a month ago to play that again and that triggered me looking up more recent games. I completed Ruby again and for that reason I got bored of Emerald because there isn't that much different from Ruby (though I'll return to it later). I guess Red or Blue are the best place to start AuraBlaze, and though I have fond memories of playing Pokémon Blue, I think I'm too used to better graphics to go back earlier than generation III. Its weird because I'm playing the remake, and I don't have access to most of the pokemon (just the 150) until I complete the game, and I'm missing steel and especially dark pokemon. Thanks for the offer AuraBlaze, how far have you got on Red so far? And what team are you using? I'm currently playing Pokémon Leaf Green as mentioned above and Emerald.

If Groudon gets its drought going it can solar beam Kyogre in one blast. I pick Groudon because it is far more versatile. |
