  1. Sex before Marriage/love and Open Sex Relationships, it is conceived as a wrong thing to do by most, yet it is not a crime. Everything we understand as wrong is somewhat harmful either to yourself or others, yet sex before marriage/love and open sex relationship doesn't necessary harm anyone except for some people's social norms.

     

    Personally I don't see anything wrong in having sexual pleasure with many people if you do not have one love that you promised not to yet. And yet, I am not a sex addict and I don't really have an urge to have sex with somebody else. Simply because I see it as a pretty primitive thing and I have other stuff which I like more then sex :P

     

    So, I am wondering if these are simply wrong because the popular philosophy of the bible says it is or does it have any moral/physical issues behind it. What do you think? Discuss here.

     

    EDIT: Thank you doomshepherd, I fixed my bad mistake, google translator sucks!!!! BTG, no need to waste a comment just like that, it gets annoying +rep ;)

  2. MONTREAL - Canadiens prospect Brock Trotter awoke Wednesday morning to the shocking news that a plane carrying the Lokomotiv Yaroslavl Kontinental Hockey League team had crashed, killing 43 people. The plane crashed shortly after takeoff and was en route to Belarus for the team’s season opener against Dynamo Minsk.

     

    “I woke up and I had these text messages from friends and family,” said Trotter, who played with Dinamo Riga in the KHL last season. “I played against a lot of those guys last season, and my memories were still fresh because that’s the team which beat us in the playoffs last season.”

     

    The crash sent shock waves through the hockey world, which was already mourning the tragic loss of Derek Boogaard, Rick Rypien and Wade Belak in the off-season.

     

    Former Canadien Alex Kovalev, who returned to Russia this season to play for the KHL’s Atlant Mytischi team, reflected on the international nature of hockey when he told Sovietsky Sport: “I can’t talk. I had so many friends on that plane. (Igor) Korolev. (Alexander) Karpovtsev, who I won the Stanley Cup with (in 1994 with the New York Rangers).”

     

    Kovalev was among the scores of players, teams and league officials who expressed their condolences through tweets and other social media.

     

    The Lokomotiv team, which is based in the modern industrial city of Yaroslavl, featured players from 10 countries. Former NHL all-star Pavol Demitra of Slovakia was among those who died in the crash, along with former NHL defenceman Brad McCrimmon, who was in his first year as a head coach in the KHL. Other players who would be familiar to North American fans included Joseph Vasicek, Ruslan Salei, Karol Rachunek and Karlis Skrastins.

     

    Russia’s record for air safety is one of the worst in the world, but Canadiens defenceman Andrei Markov – who said he was shocked when he learned of the crash – said it was too early to assign blame for the crash.

     

    “We have to see what the details are,” Markov said.

     

    Markov added the crash might make some players wary about playing in the KHL, but that it was too early to assess the impact.

     

    “It’s a tragedy,” he said. “I know some of the players from playing with them and against them.

     

    “It might be something players – especially from North America – think about, but I don’t think it should be a factor,” Trotter said.

     

    Trotter added he didn’t have any bad flying experiences during his season in the KHL, but hastened to add he was playing in Latvia.

     

    “Latvia is now part of the European Union, and Riga is a great city,” Trotter said. “The planes we flew in were all pretty modern. I had a great experience there. We had a great rink, and while the atmosphere wasn’t quite the Bell Centre, we sold out every game and the fans were great.”

     

    There was at least one report that the Yak-42 plane that was carrying the Lokomotiv team was barred from travelling in European Union air space because of concerns over the plane’s safety. There are about 100 Yak-42 planes still in service in Russia and other former Soviet states, but president Dimitry Medvedev announced this year that Russia would phase out all Soviet-era aircraft by next year.

     

    Ironically, Medvedev was scheduled to be in Yaroslavl this week for an international forum designed to showcase Yaroslavl as a modern, vibrant city.

     

    “You don’t want to think about it because we’re flying almost every other day,” Detroit Red Wings defenceman Nicklas Lidstrom said. “That’s a lot of time up in the air. You try not to think about it, but accidents happen. It’s a tragedy for all of the hockey world. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the families.”

     

    Washington Capitals forward Andrew Gordon said via Twitter: “So hard hearing about the plane crash in Russia. Hockey teams travel so much it could have been any of us. Too many tragic stories this year.”

     

    Said former NHLer Jeff O’Neil, a former teammate of McCrimmon’s with the Hartford Whalers, via Twitter: “Brad McCrimmon my very first NHL roommate. No one loved hockey more! Love you ‘Beast’ you taught me so much about respect.”

     

    And from New York Rangers forward Brandon Prust via Twitter: “The hockey world mourns yet again. Please God, we can’t take much more. Thoughts and prayers in Russia and to all friends and family.”

     

    There was no word on the immediate future of the Lokomotiv team, which finished third in the KHL last season. But Russian Ice Hockey Federation president Vladislav Tretiak said: “We will do our best to ensure that hockey in Yaroslavl does not die, and that it continues to live for the people that were on that plane.”

     

    Most leagues have a provision for an emergency draft to cover such disasters.

    The Yak-42 Russian jetliner that crashed Wednesday, killing 43 people, was relatively new, it didn’t appear to be overloaded and the plane’s captain had nearly 7,000 hours of flying experience.

     

    Poor-quality fuel is now emerging as a possible reason the crew’s attempt to take off was undermined. Investigators will look at factors such as human error and engine failure as they probe the cause of the crash that wiped out most of the Lokomotiv Yaroslavl hockey team, Deputy Transport Minister Valery Okulov told reporters Thursday

     

    My comments are:

     

    1. This plane should've been banned/dismantled 20 years ago.

     

    2. Horrible capitalistic corruption from the top guys who are all after money instead of safety.

    This reminds me of the story with my dads company, who worked for Antonov (Luxury and Cargo Plane) as one of the head engineers in the Soviet Union, he deserved as he was a straight 5er (A+) in University and got the highest diploma. Anyway he was working for a genius guy who invented the company and was actually interested in it, of course ladies and fame surrounded him but he didn't care about them much. Anyone who works for Antonov gets a free car after some months and free luxus apartment of course after 5 years of work and other privileges. Shortly after the Soviet Union breaks up and it's my dads last years at the company, guess what? Some idiot takes position as the head manager, doesn't care about airplanes at all, gets chicks in his office all the time and has tons of money by cutting the employees paychecks. Free Luxus apartment? Forget it.... now my dad is working as a programmer due to the horrible corruption of the company and bad salary.

     

    They need to remove these retards and put the engineers back!!!

  3. End this discussion. It is off-topic and has completely disregarded Lord Sinister's request to get back on-topic.

     

    Welcome to the forums, Painis Cupcake and Husker!

    Painis Cupcake is a troll from Rainbow Dash...

  4. I think this belongs to the Serious Topic Section.

     

    Other then Sarcasm there is other humour and communication problems on the internet.

     

    For example, without smileys or humorous words I sound serious lol :D :D Now see what happened?

     

    Because of this one may misinterpret another person who never uses smileys as a serious or angry person.

     

    Writing gives out a perfect example of the problems we would all have without a face. :)

  5. The feeling won't be the same even if the game is in the same style. Unless there is a way to improve the style of half-life and there is no way to really improve the style of half-life... This is why most sequels are worse, because we always expect them to be better than that feeling when we first saw a new style, and it's not possible people :P.

     

    You would have to create a whole new style to make another classic and we both know that is utterly out of the question for Valve.

  6. Good job canadians and technology then, as always I am a bit behind in these things :oops:

    One year it's under one second, now it's antihydrogen for 16 minutes... not bad.

    Still 16 minutes is not really enough considering you want a warhead.

     

    As to what he meant:

     

    Now antimatter and matter colliding alone gives of an immense explosion of light, imagine it being split.

     

    He specifically says here splitting anti matter from matter, and all I can say is that it's impossible unless you split it right after contact which would probably give a really weird and strong effect.... :/

  7. Just to clear things up, I am pretty sure he talks about a separation of Anti-Matter and Matter. Not Anti-Matter of Anti-Matter.

    But just for the record if you collide matter and anti-matter it leads to a total anihilation of both almost instantly, how would you have the time to seperate them again???? It doesn't seem possible.

     

    @Zac No he didn't, I said we can;t get ahold of anti-matter for even a second. I didn't say we can make anti matter and get ahold of it for under a second! :{
