  1. To degrade people because of gender, race, age or what not is undoutedly the wrong attitude to have. But the reverse of this is also wrong, such as expecting to be treated different because of your gender, race, age or what not. All people deserve equality but were is the line drawn. Look at some women, they want to be treated equal to men but still wish to have doors opened and chairs pushed in for them, not that this is wrong but is this being two faced or is opening a door symbolic for something else such as caring.

    Older folk have lived their lives and payed their dues. They don't wish to be treated different because of their age and nor they should, but how often does the lovely old gentleman turn into a cane wealding maniac because he didn't get a pensioner discount. Religious people have the same basic right to do as they please with their own lives, but does this right extend to walking house to house trying to force their belief onto others who may not be interested.

    The incident here in Australia where Jonny Howard refused to appologise to the Aboriginal's has been and will probably remain a heated topic. Obviously what was done at the time was wrong, but is Mr. Howard or indeed any Australian in this present time responsible and therefore obliged to appologise. Again were are the limits.

    The purpose of these questions is not to upset people nor fuel current or future debate, but to simply show that regardless of gender, race, age or what not, there is very fine line between right and wrong. We all view things in different ways and have different thoughts and opinions, so there will never really be a clearly defined line between the two.

    Finally remember, don't judge a certain gender, race or age based on one or two individuals, it only takes one bad apple to spoil the barrel. Remember this and the line may become a little bit clearer.

    P.S. You really need to stop doing this to people at this time of the morning ruin, now my brain feels like a do-nut, all empty in the middle :D

    got me thinking at this time of the morning which ain't easy. 

    Hehe, that's good to know. 

    When you've been pulling graveyard for 5 years you tend to go into cruise control mode, so it's nice to be slapped back to life every now and then. Don't do it to often though, Me poor old brain might cook and boil over :wacko:

  3. To take another line from a movie..." The meaning of life is what ever you wan't it to be..." I tend to think of it that way as every one sees different reasons for what is or isn't done, why people do or don't do what ever ETC..

    Good post btw.... got me thinking at this time of the morning which ain't easy.

    Why am I a human, not a bubmle bee, an alligator, or even a mushroom?
    I'm human but quite often get treated like a mushroom ;)

    Ummmm.......where did that come from?? :blink:

  5. What about an all in one skin editor thats combined with the combat model, so you can open any chr skin by the actor name eg. buzz gordan. Than you can change his cammo and the armour level in one go. Also an assortment of different packs, vests, holsters etc. that you could simply paste in.

  6. You will also need an awful lot of free time, limitless patience and a large cuddly toy. The toy will be your comfort blanket when you break down and cry and the target of your violent frustrations because, believe me, you will do both

    Nice one lancer, I thought thats why we get married? :D The wife would shoot me if she read that....lucky she's blonde. (Blondes can't read, can they, damn.)
  7. I have made a couple of new rets for GR. Your probably going to see them and think "wow, how boring." I know, they are but they are functional. See I dowmloaded the excellent rets by dvs1, but whether it's my 15 inch monitor or my old eyes, I found they tend to obscure my vision. So instead of corective eye surgery I made my own with three advantages on others I've seen.

    1. They are a bit larger and less intusive to make it easier to find and see what you are shooting at.

    2. They all employ red dots for easier low light/night vision.

    3. Last but not least, the range marks on the gl gun ret actually work. Simply zoom in on your target, line up the apprpriate range mark, switch to your gl and boom, your in business. It's handy being able to put a nade through a window at 50 odd metres. So if any-one wants them send me a PM and I'll e-mail the rsb files and instructions on how to mod the .gun files for them to work......cheers

  8. I like the glock in both 9mm and .40 cal. They are reliable and don't seem to mind what you feed them. For rifles I'm a fan of sako's trg 22 .308 with a good 3-12x50 scope.
