Customer: 'Can I buy this car'
Salesman: 'Sure, that'll be $32,000.'
Customer: 'GOt no money so that option doesn't work out for you, Sorry, But you can still give the car to me'
OP logic.
I especially love the bit where the OP tries to make Luke look like the bad guy by saying 'that option doesn't work out for you.'.
Simply classic.
Btw I do agree but still people who say that something isn't an option are wrong, Ik people just want money but its a sin to have allot of money even a little bit can be a sin!

Lol Good cause i'm gonna go play GMod for a while and then come back to see if anyone retarded(Not really) has given me notifications cause when they don't i get bored XD
Holy shit I thought this thread was dead. Why did someone have to necro this one? Its been proven about 7 times in this thread that you cant kill stupidity on the internet. Let it die cause all the valid arguments have been made and people (one person rather) still doesn't get it.

I ended up on this thread, when the title caught my attention. I expected to hear a well thought out argument about a feature that should be added. That isn't exactly what I got. Though I did manage to derive intense feelings of frustration, which slowly turned into disbelief, which turned into historical laughter.
Overall, this thread has been a good.... well its been an experience. Thank you all.
Lol God is the one who won the war between hell and heaven, He saves the people who turn to him btw, I'm not kidding(Lol the "FUCKING COMMIE" thing is weird XD)

If he won the war then why is there still a hell?
Why did you add the "i'm not kidding?" remark?
Also the commie thing is a reference to communism, and he believes that you partake in the practice of communism. Its one where the working class (also referred to as the proletariat) believes they are unjustly oppressed by the capitalist class, and rise up and revolt (and dismantle) the capitalist class so that everyone may have the same-ish amount and access to money equally.
I don't think you're kidding. However, I do think you're thoroughly uneducated, not everyone believes in your religion, or any for some of us. Someday, Orel, you may learn this, not in Moralton, or anywhere in Statesota, but one day, you'll learn.

Dammit arty, not only did you make my joke thuper therious, but you made Communism sound GOOD. :p
Communism is the opposite of good. Not only is it a social structure that crumbles due to being easily corrupted, but it also is a bad social/political ideology in the first place. The idea that nobody owns anything and that everything is owned equally is rather silly. It creates some pretty dire food situations, which lead to long queues of people who just want some bread to be handed out. Not only that, but it also relies on everyone constantly working, even if there is not work to be done, which ends in the government creating a bunch of made up work to satisfy the economy, but not the people, leaving them depressed.
It's also terrible due to the nature of entitlement. People will always believe that they 'own' x, because of y reasons. Taking this away can create a rather odd stance with the mind, and ultimately leads to greed and corruption. It's especially bad if it's implemented in the middle of a primarily capital sate. Take a look at Australia for example, the Union is currently pushing Australia for more tax imbalance. Those who are "rich" can be taxed up to 60+%, while those who are "poor" can be taxed to as little as 30-%, and those who haven't got a job have welfare, where they are provided with all of the money they need to survive. It becomes a massive drain on the economy, for both the country and the people that live in it. The Australian government is spending ~20% of it's GDP to welfare, and those are for people who cannot be bothered with getting a job, due to how much they're given. And mind you, that's 20% of the income from taxes which are paid by the few who pay 60+% of their income. This whole socialist give money from rich to poor shit is stupid, and timtee is a moron for assuming that having a lot of money is a sin. And don't even get me started about religion pulling a Stalin for thousands of years...
Right, there's my rant on communism/socialism, now to move on with my life *grumble* *grumble*
Savaged...
So, from what I can tell, Creative Servers are hard to run. So there is, like, only one... This kid got banned from it for the SM equivalent of plagarism and now is pissy that they don't have a Creative Server to screw around on...
WOW timtee! Fucking wow. Maturity and level-headedness at it's apex, you got kicked off of the server, so now you are demanding that more servers are like the one you got kicked from, all just for you. Aren't you just precious?

I wouldn't usually try to bring anything remotely relating to politics into a game forum, but actually living in Australia and knowing how much misinformation you're putting out I have to amend a few things.
If you're in the highest tax bracket in Australia you pay 30% tax on your first $180,000 earned and 45% on anything above $180k, and tax minimisation is big business here. Corporate tax rate is 28.5%, but then most of the more profitable companies take their profit and pay 50-90% to their overseas parent companies in 'service fees' and pay a pittance here.
Welfare spending overall is just under 10% of GDP (36% of Federal government revenue), and breaking it down further only 7% or just over $10billion of that welfare expenditure goes to unemployed and temporarily disabled jobseekers. That equates to less than 1% of GDP, and 2.5% of government revenue. The remaining majority of this welfare expenditure is mostly old age, veteran and disability pensions, and so called middle class welfare (Single unemployed parents of young children and low to middle income working families, IE the people spending to keep the economy ticking over) We have one of the most expensive real estate market's in the world so half or more of most people's welfare income goes towards rent.
Our government subsidised medical system shouldn't be left out when discussing socialism in Australia, which is why poor to middle class people here can afford treatment and don't die or suffer needlessly untreated from curable ailments like in some places. For example a ventolin inhaler for asthma that something like 1 in 4 children use costs $15 here (or about $6 for low to middle income earner's), how much would that be in the USA?
All this, and we manage to maintain one of the highest standards of living in the world, with lower crime and homelessness than the USA across the board, and with the budget increases planned from next year onwards the 7th highest defense budget in the world, which we'll need because we keep following the USA into every damn war they lie about to engage in. So overall it's nowhere near Communism, and not quite US style free market capitalism either, but overall it's a damn sight better than you described.

Why didn't I mention this? Because it isn't socialism, it's the ethical treatment of our citizen. Every single person should have access to healthcare, regardless of financial situation. :p

The wars, while partially lied about, are still serious enough to join in. Especially when Aus has one of the best militaries in the world, and THE best intel gatherer thingies.
You seem to have taken what I said COMPLETELY out of context.
I was talking about how socialism/communism is bad
I never stated Australia is communist, I was merely stuff that teeters on the border of socialism to show how it can be bad
I never even remotely mentioned USA (if I did, please quote it :p), let alone compare it to Australia
My facts may not have been fully accurate, but that isn't needed in the art of persuasion. Having them close to the facts, but manipulated in such a way to make your own side look more appealing is how it's done, so I MAY have bloated some of those numbers. :p
But in all seriousness, you came shitting on my anti-communism parade, going on about Australia and how it's not a communist or socialist state and that it's better than America. I'm thoroughly dissapointed in you, because your intellect could've been used for more productive things, like hating on communism as well. :p
