"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

Funny thing is that I've seen  pecenipicek over on SpaceBattles.com several times and there he generally acts like a normal member of the community.

I've got no idea why he choose to act like a complete tosser over here when over there he manages to act reasonably normal.

Wait wait wait... There's an entire forum, where people from all around the world can come together, meet one another... and discuss the weather?

:wtf: Discussing the weather is supposed to be a pretext you can then use to transition into other topics...

And the weather is going to be different for each person on the forum.

The weather has to be the most inane thing to talk about in real life. I've found that people bring up the weather when they have nothing to talk about but just feel like starting a pointless conversation. :p :D
