What does OT mean? Anyway, if I was banned I would be very sad, because I would loose contact with my GS friends. But again, life goes on I guess. There are worse things that can happen to you.

Get grounded, is so outdated as a practice... Anyway, perhaps I might be wrong.

I can't easily follow your thinking, because it's rather complicated for an average GameSpot user :D If I can contribute though to your speculation, I would say that I agree with you that both theists and atheists can't really bring any proofs for their beliefs. Personally I am an agnosticist, and sometimes agnostic atheist, meaning: "I don't really know if god exists, but if someone insists that I answer to the question, I would rather choose that god does not exist".

Surely it was indiscreet of him to ask, but you shouldn't had involved the payment subject into your answer. It was insulting. Sorry :( I don't want to make it worse for you. Anyway, don't think about it too much,because we all sometimes have our bad moments..

I chew gum in order not to chew food, but chewing a gum actually produces gastric fluids that makes you really hungry:D A vicious circle.

Children and women are more valuable to a society, in the sense that they can contribute decisevely to its continuation; Children as society's future, and women are the most crucial factor of the reproduction procedure. Men are essential factors as well for the reproduction of the human species, but the loss of the lives of some, or even many men don't affect severely the balance of the birth rate of a society. To put it differently: imagine this extreme scenario: 100 men and 1 woman are the only human beings that survived in a society. The only one woman and one of the 100 men can give birth to child, or some children. The other 99 men serve no purpose, in terms of reproduction of course. But if you have 100 women and 1 man left only, this man alone can theoretically fertilize all of the 100 women, and thus instantly have a dramatic population rise.

As to being selfish, it would be perfectly acceptable if we were living by ourselves outside of any community. So being part of a society, and being selfish at the same time, I think it's a case of a society's malfunction.

I support with all my heart the people of Iran, in their fight to win freedom. I see that I'm always informed about the situation in Iran, because I can't whistle indifferently to a continuous crime that is committed. I'm aware of the tragic story of Delara Darabi, and just yesterday I saw this horrific video of Neda's death, that poor girl that was shot in Basiji. Perhaps her sacrifice wasn't in vain. This image literally shocked the whole world, and I really hope this could mobilize the global community to help people of Iran.

For those who perhaps haven't been informed about it, Neda was an Iranian young girl who was shot and killed on Saturday 20 June in the city of Basiji in Iran by militia snipers, during a protest in the streets that she was watching with her father by her side. I saw her in a video on the news at her last moments, and I really can't get over with it. I don't wish to start any political discussion in this forum, I just wanted to pay a small tribute to that woman, who left this world in such a cruel and unfair way.

I love everything about Wikipedia, mostly the fact that such a project exists in the first place. Wikipedia changed the internet landscape really. Among with the search engines, is the best aspect of what the internet has to offer to the people. I can't think of anything that I hate about Wikipedia. Perhaps the fact only that I envy those people who write the articles, and most often they do it amazingly well, and so I think how useless I am myself :D

I have an account too, but I never dared to write something new, or make an edit yet. I know that I must be really proficient in a certain subject to make that step, and I doubt if I will ever make it.

My third language, because English is already my second, would be German. For two reasons: I always love to hear a speech in German, and I would like sometime also to understand, what I'm hearing, not just meaningless sounds with strong accent. Second, I admire German culture, and I love Germany as a country, and as natutal environment too, so it would help me a lot to speak the language, in my future visits to that country.

My problem is that I find very difficult to learn this language. I was never particularly strong in foreign languages, though I know the very basics of the 3-4 major european languages.
