Title: Ive made a mistake
Post by: Red5 on August 10, 2002, 07:56:31 pm: I made several mistakes last night, one was taking an emotional reaction to the community over my computer being stolen...

I actually ment to reply to the fs2 armada thread as a good work, but im mad at HLP...

Here is why i was angry, this is mostly directed at you Thunder, I posted a huge message on how my computer was stolen the very next day after i had acquired a certain modeling program from kazaa. I'm not saying that i am any way more right by admitting the guildt, but i meant that as a warning to hlpers if they ever tried what i did, it was just to coincidental, it angered me that the topic was closed and not just edited, not one person said darn... that stinks or anything, so thats why i got mad, thats why i left HLP, unable to help with my mod, although snake has done a great job...who knows, but i apologize for the crude language last night

Post by: Fineus on August 10, 2002, 08:09:50 pm: Thanks for reminding me, and I still feel that locking the topic was justified. It does suck that your computer was stolen but over the time it's been open (and from other forums) the staff generally have found a zero tolerence policy (or near enough... mentioning it won't get you banned - but posting links is another matter) works best. You can't warn peolpe about having their computer stolen as you might a virus or a weather accident, everywhere is different and you can't say "my computer was stolen, yours might be next" to anyone here unless they lived in your immediate area - so claiming it was a topic meant as a warning doesn't really work.

All in all, I am truly sorry that your computer was stolen, I'd be livid if it happened - but I think your grudge is directed at the wrong people here, Neither I nor anyone else at HLP is to blame for that and I closed the topic before the obvious conversation about warez ensued, nothing more. I hope you don't continue to harbour bad feelings against myself or HLP in general (HLP in general has done nothing to you anyway, so that's a bit odd). If you do then that's to bad - but it won't be my loss in the end.

Post by: Stryke 9 on August 11, 2002, 11:30:32 am: I thought that was the good thing about having rusty woodcutting implements lying about and being the kinda guy who doesn't mind running down the street after burglars, stark naked, armed, and screaming.

That's a story for another time, kids.

Anyway. Lots of people use Kazaa. Lots of people get their stuff stolen. The two statistics aren't really related, and in fact in this case the two events might be unrelated. I and some of my friends have been burgled before- never used Kazaa, I just live in a ****hole, and moved out of an even worse ****hole a few years ago.

I can get a ton of kick-ass clubs, get free video and game rentals (non-illegal contact, but still, pretty cool), cheap/free games and consoles, cheap electronics, cheap clothing and all the [censored---------!] and wierd smelling pastes my twisted little mind can handle.

I dunno about newer or better, but I think I've got the "bigger" in hand - seriously! :p :D

Quote
A physician in Vienna, Austria, in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, who founded psychoanalysis and developed the theory of the Oedipus complex. He believed that psychological problems could be traced to repressed childhood experiences, particularly to repressed sexual desires. He also argued that dreams provide clues to the nature of psychological problems. His theories introduced concepts such as those of the id and superego into the language of psychiatry.

Which part? :wtf:

Post by: Stryke 9 on August 11, 2002, 06:41:47 pm: Sandwich: If you've never read Freud, he likes sex a lot. Everything you say and do is caused by your extremely perverted subconscious sexual desires. The Oedipal and Electra complexes (wanting to bang your parents) are his most famous stuff, but the guy was obsessed with it. In this case, I was referring to his theory that large, cylindrical objects are phallic symbols and any interest in the size thereof is a translation of...

Post by: an0n on August 12, 2002, 01:23:29 am: He was implying that you were over compensating.

And Freud was right. Everything anyone does, ever, is as a result of various sexual thingies. You want money because you think it'll give you power and impress the chicks, you want intelligence so you can more easily understand how to impress the chicks, etc etc.

Bah, that's like being in an art gallery. You can look but you can't do much else.

Interesting for a while but once you realise you could've been making art...

Yeah, but they also lose all their male hormones, etc...........actually semi-become femal, kinda like the opposite of what happens to a German female discus thrower.

What was that line in Dead poets society? Something like:

'and next week we'll discuss why Freud took enough coke to kill a small horse.'

I dispute the fact that everything tall and cylindrical is a penis extension. For example, a streetlight is a tall, rod-shaped object. Why? Because that's the best way to cast light over a large area. A skyscraper in Tokyo is the only option - they can't just build lots of squat, square buildings (though I'm not saying that skyscrapers weren't phallic to begin with...) :p

And don't even get me started on lipstick, or pencils. If they were wider than they are tall they'd be utterly useless. Making things cylindrical is a matter of application, not of perverted sexual fantasy.

Now, obsessing about cylindrical objects in the way some people here are doing...there may be something wrong with that. :lol:

It's simply a matter of the pot calling the kettle black; people who think that tall cylindrical objects are phallic symbols are the ones who are perverted. :D
