Oh, if thats the case then by all means go with what you have - I was under the impression that you'd be starting from scratch on that kind of thing and would benefit from looking at DDR solutions - my bad

[Ulundel]

The thing is that I'm just upgrading my computer a little bit since my power computer's on the way. (should arrive after summer). I have enough ram and not so good but acceptable GeForce 4 MX. the problem is that my crappy Celeron 600 is powering the whole thing down.

[Fineus]

In that case go for the 2GHz CPU, they aren't to expensive at the moment compared to everything else (under £100!) so it'd be a good investment. Just make sure the motherboard is a balance of price and what you need from it...

[Ulundel]

Thanks for the advice Thunder. I'll do that.

Both of you kindly shut up or I'll take up Levyathan on his idea in both your cases without a backward glance, some of you guys are spamming a little to much lately - cut back

Fair enough. But before I kindly shut up just answer me one question: what would you have done if, instead of christians, his location said blacks? And don't even try to convince me that there's a difference between the two. The former is offensive against a religious group, while the latter is offensive against a racial group. That's as far as it goes.

And the funny thing is that you don't mind religiously offensive statements, but a little spam would be enough for you to hit the BAN button without thinking twice. Because admins have never spammed, of course.

Anyway, my post wasn't even serious. It seems people can't tell the difference without the use of smilies.

I've said what I wanted to say, now make your judgement. Ban me if it seems suitable - it's all up to you now.

*suspense music*

[Fineus]

No no, I'd have told him off for it more directly but the fact of the matter is I don't want any more threads turned away from the purpose for which they were created just so I can tell you or him or anyone else off for spamming or making stupid comments. Yes it was a stupid comment but you don't seem that upset - in the mean time I'll remember it the next time he does something wrong (if there is a next time) and he'll be punished accordingly for continued idiocy.

For the time being though, I assume we can all move on? If you want to discuss it further then feel free to contact me

My God, shut the hell up right now and don't even try to bring that in. If you knew half of what you were talking about, you'd know that It directly correlates with my name and religon.

Knight Templar = Christian Crusader

Christian Crusdaer = "The Crusdaes"

The crusdaes, as you may or may not know, where the Religous wars fought in the middles east during the middles ages. European Christians fought and killed  many of the native Jews and Muslims over land and Reliogon because they would not convert to christianity. Note that this was backed by the Church and at the time.

Now my location was 1) a driect quote from my favorite comedian, George Carlin, and 2) directly correlated with my name.

It was a play on words, at best, but a joke and inteded to be taken that way.  As A christian myself, I find no offense at all. It was a funny fact if you will, I wasn't going around saying "Burn the Christians" or anything equally as homo, and don't even try to bring racism or blacks into this before you know what you are talking about.

EDIT To Thunder:  I was typing this while you posted.. whatever. If you find it as "Continued Idiocy" and feel it needs "punishing" then whatever. It's your place, you'll do what you like, but look at full damn picture before you do anything and recognize somebody trying to be funny, at the expense of showing off his ignorance.

Thanks, Thunder. Now, can I reply to Knight Templar's post right here or should I PM him?

[Knight Templar]

If you have something you  need to say, spill it. PM's are A-1 supar, and I don't think you can justifiably be told not to use PM's unless you absolutely need to post it in public for whatever reason (post count risage/showing off ignorance/attempting to diss me)

and I suppose thunder would feel happy going about deleting said posts above.

[Fineus]

Meh, whatever - this thread has served its purpose as best it can I think... but if this turns to flames or spam then you'll know what's going to happen

[Levyathan]

I'll post this here because some points should be noted not only by Knight Templar. It's certainly not spam, and if it's considered flames, then by all means, delete it.

I take it that by Crusdaes you mean Crusades, no?

Okay, so someone else said it before, and it's related to your name - big deal. Explain to me exactly how that makes it less offensive.

Neither do I, but other people could understandably feel offended by it.

Now explain to me what you meant by homo. Homosexual, perhaps? Careful how you use words, son - you might get yourself in trouble.

Believe me, I knew what I was doing when I mentioned blacks. I didn't use the word as a pejorative term - that'd be stupid.

[Knight Templar]

I find it amusing that you state nothing of value other than

Less offensive hmm? Well would it be less offensive if the statement read as "12th century christian soldiers killed jews and muslims in the crusades of the middle east because they would not convert to christianity" ?

and wtf is the deal with this?

Neither do I, but other people could understandably feel offended by it.

If you aren't offended by it, then why are you worrying about stuff that needent be worried about? If you don't care, then fine, ignore it like everyone else did/does/whatever.



And out of curiousity.. say it read "The nazi's are comming to get you and they are unpleasant" Would that be equally offensive? How about the Shivan's? Or one man perhaps? Al Qaeda?

[Ulundel]

C'mon now dudes. Calm down...

[Knight Templar]

meh.. calm as a kitten

I hope this hasn't been pointed out before, but it might be a bit of use as far as some case-mods go.

Nothing of value, huh? Then why are you having such a hard time explaining what I asked? Maybe you should read it again, trying to understand the meaning of the words you see.

How's that answering my question?

Originally posted by Knight Templar

So you're telling me I should only worry when it's offensive against me. That's rather selfish.

Of course it would be equally offensive - against them. But in this case those groups are already generally disliked, and for a reason. So no one would care if you said that, except them.

Now read my previous post again and give me a proper reply. You left too many unanswered points.

[Knight Templar]

i'm not. I'm reffering to the fact that you resorted to pointing out several spelling errors instead of argueing your point further.

How's that answering my question?

I'm answering your question with a question myself. And the point was, would you still find it offensive if the statement read as "12th century christian soldiers killed jews and muslims in the crusades of the middle east because they would not convert to christianity" ?

Granted my version was shorter and said nothing of exact 12th century christians, but it seems more to the point and less  

Perhaps I should make my own quote..

So you're telling me I should only worry when it's offensive against me. That's rather selfish.

So you're saying that you are "sticking up for the little guy" then? fair enough I guess....  whatever..

Of course it would be equally offensive - against them. But in this case those groups are already generally disliked, and for a reason. So no one would care if you said that, except them.

Ah yes, they are disliked by large amounts of people, but does that make it right? Just because a large mass of bodies say it is ok, then is it?

And you say nobody likes them? I highly doubt that. Watch the news. Al-Qaeda un particukar. There seems to be a lot of people that liked them. Especially when Bin Laden was kickin' it with them, blowing up innocent people.. sick yes? but did nobody like them? I think that is incorrect.

I'll admit the Nazist party is an assumption, but I know some people did like them. Sick ****s? Perhaps, yes, but that doesn't change it.

As for Shivans, that one is blatently obvious as modeled by our buddy and administrator, Carl.
