You talk about right and wrong, but don't say where it comes from. Is it god? Is it human law?

Everything you said boils down to this:
But hey, that's my thoughts of the world, if you do not accept what I've said, it doesn't matter, because everyone has their own beliefs, and their choices.

You either accept other people's point of view, or not. You either think you are right and the others are wrong, or not.

I personally think it is OK to impose some things (i.e. Human Rights; female mutilation in some cultures is wrong and should be stopped IMHO, even though it's proper culturally; still, some other things should not be messed with), but not based on the notion that these are natural or supernatural, but socially developed. Other stuff, I think is not right. Religion should definetly not mess around these areas, IMO, lest we are giving future grounds to intolerance.

Morals should be simple to figure it all out. Anything that does harm to/threaten yourself and/or other people is a sin. E.g. Stealing, committing suicide, killing, quarrels, torture.
Why? Because you say so? Ever wondered how Hindu people see that we eat meat? What if they tried to stop us from eating cows because they say it's WRONG? Why is suicide wrong, when many cultures would say otherwise? The god you believe in says so? Or you think it is in our genes?

And no it's not subjective. Or at least I don't think it is.
I think it's evolutionary.
FYI those two ideas were pretty much the basis for the 3rd Reich morals, which lead to some of the most terrible crimes mankind ever made. Social darwinism = yuck (IMHO). But, of course, everyone's entitled to an opinion (at least, that's what I think; notice how many postures don't give this as a possible scenario).

I think the moral ideas of a given society should be democratically defined, not in an atemporal non-cultural considerance. Of course, that in itself is an idea that comes from my own morality, so I guess I am an 'enforcer of tolerance and plurality'.

One person's personal freedom stops where that of everyone else starts.
The notion of that idea that I don't like is that it implies thinking that one person's freedom and the freedom of everyone else are different things.

Freedom of speech does have its limits, people just tend to forget those exist.
Personally, I think that the only limits to freedom of speech should be the vindication of illegal acts, and the encouragement of them. Any other thing can lead to China or France's actual policies regarding internet restrictions, and from that to political/religious censorship is just a step away.

morality and ethics are old and dead
What?

Do you even understand what morality and ethics are? They CAN'T die, you just can't see them (saying that 'the only rules are those of techology' IS a morality AND implies a set of ethics). And thinking that morality is a science is quite a medieval approach, which fortunately has been dropped by most reasonable people since the arrival of Descartes, Hume, Kant, Hegel, Marx, etc.

If you wanna know my position on this, I'm a 100% supporter of human rights applied to any context, but still conceiving them as a human construction.

single layer, meaning its a single image.
And doing a little bit of editing and image searching will kill you? Why not keep polishing this and going from average to great instead of making another release? ???

Cybaster's Castlevanilla stage was also made from a single image, and he managed to pull it off. Don't rush your art.

it was a SINGLE LAYERED image.

i cant make the lights flicker, cause even if i did, it would still be on.
I don't get what you mean. :P

Take your time to make a "darker" sprite of the "lighter" portion of the stage, then make it visible for an instant and remove it, and voilà.

Maybe having the lights flicker? And some newspaper fly around?

Taking that bench/trashcan, enlarging it a bit, and adding as a front layer might go a long way to add to the 3D feel. Maybe even adding a (transparent) front layer subway going in the opposite direction?

furious rant
I completely agree with you. Minus the anger. :)

I was showing Tony 3rd that his comparison of MUGEN to apartheid was moot, because if you don't discriminate (at least a bit) between junk and gold, things DO get messy, and eventually everyone can call 'apartheid' on your dumping of their idea engineering topic. :P
Discrimination, IMHO, is good, if done with proper requirements under a democrac... meh. Already comparing MUGEN to RL. This place is getting to me!

Perfect solution: discriminate according to your status (like TDS said).
Whooops, my proj topic is getting dumped in a minute. ;P

That's discrimination against the creation impaired ! >:( Everybody deserves a chance to say there ideas loud and tell the others to do the work for them. Hell, if not everybody has his chance, Bush would have never became President. >:(

So, you haven't done much, eh? Still claiming you never said what you said you didn't say... or something.

Why even bring this up again?


You were mentioning the stuff people don't like about you and that make you impopular (blue font, bad jokes). I thought I'ld help, didn't think you'ld take it so seriously. Then again, I pretty much don't care. ;P

You do realize You brought up a post in which I did say I wasn't okay with Mugen being sold on ebay.


Still, it looks like your reading comprehension hasn't improved much. Especially since, you know, my first post on page three, as well as my quotes you brought up, undermine what you were trying to say about me.

I completely understand that you never wanted people to think that you support the selling of MUGEN, or even support SFO. Heck, I've always had. Probably most of us got it, even though you definetly phrased it in a strange way in the first place.

Still, the posts I did quote DO show that...
Admittedly I could have worded some if it better

Hence why people reacted the way they did.
No need to drag this any further, I just wanted to give you another flaw you can brag about in your list; You make bad jokes, you have a blue font, and you support MUGEN selling and SFO people don't understand you!
You're welcome. :)

Sure, Blue Font Comet. Your posts never said anything like that. You never had a different point of view.

And I understood his point. I just have a different view on it. I think that it's kind of the same thing as selling some other things through ebay. Not saying he *should* sell it, but...
