100 posts, one quest: aka discussion thread

[Fotiadis110]

Well i suppose that goes to show what happens when you write your history into a corner, but pending some planning and a bit of devotion the RP will continue to grow...

I won't post the link here, people who are curious about Silas can go looking, he'll be obvious enough.

Anyway on this note, who else here finds the quests a bit slow to come by when time is available?

And what topic would we discuss? The 'lies to children' portrayed by science as a whole that suggests religion spent most of their time renouncing us?

Apparently they didn't, other than earth centralism and evolution they supported science's endeavours to discover the worlds truths. But mind you they appear to have ignored the fun of plate tectonics, modern genetics and the whole fiasco of big bang...
Whats your take on the arguments?


PS: yep, 100 posts.

I think that if Superman flies clockwise around the earth fast enough, he can reverse the flow of time. O_O

[Fotiadis110]

(ps 101)

well Actually i managed to get my quest out before post 100, despite constant putting it off and delays (like the test at 9 am this morning....)

I'm pleased.

To reverse the flow of time, theory goes either we have to 'cross the border' perhaps by reversing the rotation of the planet.... OTHERWISE we have to beat the speed of light...
Thats actually (theoretically) impossible :/

You cant put a p.s. at the beginning of a post. Post-script means after writing...

Best response EVAR!

As for this thread, I have no clue what you asked, why it was made, or what's supposed to be discussed... have fun.

Well, duh.

[Fotiadis110]

I asked what we might like to discuss, apparently not everyone knows of the whole claimed religious suppression of science, on the basis that when science gets it's filthy hands on things the old excuse 'god made it so' starts to be unacceptable. v_v

Actually i'm just seeking some form of intellectual discussion on what I think an unusual topic. Bring forth the damsels, for someone will be hurting by the end of the day <_<

[Taskmienster]

I thought 'religious suppression of science' was something that happened pre-enlightenment... Didn't know it was still even close to something relavent to modern times.

[Fotiadis110]

hmm, how about the stem cells controversy ;)

[Cyrus the virus]

Hmm how about a chat room?

Make a thread about an actual topic if you want to discuss something, maybe it will work better.

[Fotiadis110]

the topic was the effect of science on religion, and vice versa

[Lathienas Miraq]

Yes but you didn't state that.

Oh and it's vice versa

[Fotiadis110]

I explained it in the most round about way i could come up with because I couldn't explain the point directly at the time.
I hate forgetting the question just as you go to write it down -_- you start having to explain the point without actually directly addressing it.

[edit=reads your sig]
Ps in that example was PRE script, dance puppets of normalcy, dance!

[Lathienas Miraq]

That would be prescript.

Pre is a PREfix not a word
p.s. (this stands for periscript, work that out) This is during witing.
This (prefix) would make the abbrievation p.
Prescript is not a word.
P. is not a valid abbrieviation
Consder this while you dance.
((and well done for editing in vice versa, my post looks a right fool now doesn't it. I shall be avenged))

[Fotiadis110]

(sends Seamus into a grinder)
(great mess)
Yep that was avenged!


According to my knowledge ANY abbreviation is possible, just some are avoided because it prevents confusion.
The one I did was wrong on THAT basis, but it's the intent, not the comprehension that makes right or wrong.

[Lathienas Miraq]

You cannot have a single letter abbrieviation. Nor should a word as short as prescript be abbrieviated. Only ridiculously long words such as monoamineoxidase A should be abbrieviated. A single letter abbrieviation could stand for any word begining with p.

A t s w l l t.*

I think I have proved my point

*And this sentence would look like this.


but it's the intent, not the comprehension that makes right or wrong.

And that is entirely wrong:

Bi yore reesoning this setenence shood mak prefect sens. Because it is intended to and that you can tell what it is intending does not make it right.
[/grammer lesson]


Post script: Also I apologise if this looks like it has degeneraated into a flame... I can just see the mods unsheathing their anti-troll weapons.

[Kerrigan Muldoon]

Dang, dudes; prescript, post script... be careful you don't get a midscriptcrisis, or would that be a periscriptcrisis?

[Fotiadis110]

probably the latter :p

Anyway, yes i used the wrong place, i didn't even NEED The PS 101 in that post, but i did it, i'm not saying it should have even been there, but i felt like it and it's created an interesting debate regarding the proper use of language, that in itself justifies it's use...
Now Lathienas if you could apply your digestive (by which I mean breaking things down into useful components, dismantling doesn't sound right) mind to help me in THIS thread (http://www.althanas.com/world/showthread.php?t=18820)I'd be appreciative, but given everyone seems to avoid helping a guy re-work his talents like a plague, I guess me and sweet_oblivion will be the only people to work on him <_<.

[Lathienas Miraq]

Dang your logic. But yes it's probably time to bury the hatchet.

I shall take a proper look at Seamus tomorrow, in the mean time, I NEED to sleep lol.

And besides the 'ps 1o1' wasn't intended to spark a debate so that doesn't justify it....*tails off*

[/grammatical wankery]

[Fotiadis110]

it was describing it was my 101st post, a relic of my childhood fascination with 101 Dalmatians.
It's designed PURPOSE was to convey that information, but it's ultimate RESULT yielded something i was not expecting.

I mean they are a single person, but I don't know if he/she is a guy or not. and ultimately calling them 'it' when they are obviously human is repugnant :p.


I shall take a proper look at samus tomorrow
And besides the ps 1oo1

Seamus (gamma wankery doesn't seem to help spelling
101 (nor does it seem to help number skills...)

I'm not even going to lie. I have no idea what's suppose to be going on in this thread, but I do know it seems to have little direction and has degraded into unnecessary spam. As much as I enjoy a good critiquing of internet-forum-speak and etiquette, I must ask that we all stop.

Fotiadis, if you want to create a discussion thread, make a clear topic. It can even be incredibly vague, so long as there's a topic. You just mention the topic in the topic line, and then maybe a link or a question or something. However, when the creator asks "And what topic would we discuss," I get a little worried.

I'm going to close this thread. I don't think a salvageable conversation from this could be any easier than just creating a new thread with a new topic.
