Interesting answers.

@Davve: Put it in whatever context you want.
@MxZz: Yes, lots of them. They're big also.
@puzzle: You can have him, comrade. Thought I'd try to haggle a bit though.
@Mateus: Get down on your knees. I guess you know what to do.
@Daffy: Thanks for the links. For how long will they last? My connection is recently utterly shit and usually below 10kB/s, so it'd be great if they stay up for a while. I don't even get to start downloading as the sites just crash while loading. Also how do you hardware-junkie afford all that? What did you approximately spend in total?

[Diaz]

I think I missed Arti's question, here it comes the answer: Onslaught and Megaton (SA) and in VC I can't really choose among the good old ones like Equinox, Gazuntei, Neuralgia, Exodus or Ethereal. But let's say our new video will be the best!

Sure, but let's agree that you will send me a PM when you have downloaded them as thanks so I can free up some DropBox space.

Also how do you hardware-junkie afford all that? What did you approximately spend in total?

Probably 10.000-something euro's, what can I say... I make a good living

I'm actually thinking of learning Norwegian language a bit and move to Norway in a year or two. Can you find a decent job for me? What's the situation out there considering free vacancies at all? No joke.

haha lol

Daffy asked me and SFH was practically off the game already.

Do you believe in religion and god?
Ain't nobody got time for that

What's your PC rig?
It has some lights, some plastic here and there, cables, etc etc.

[Daffy]

Can I find you a job, no but I could point you in the right direction, after that it depends on how bad you want it.
As for free vacancies that doesn't sound very realistic, especially if you're planning on living in Oslo.
And speaking of Oslo, renting some place there unless you're living in a collective is expensive as fuck so I'd recommend starting in Trondheim or some place that's about the same size (not Kristiansand if you actually want to meet people and become friends with them) to begin with.
The bottom line is that Norway is a fucking expensive country to live in, if you can get through the first uphill and find a part-time or full-time job and get a decent place to stay you'll be fine but you should have a plan and some starting capital when you come here and don't expect to get shit handed to you and a guide that points out where to go and with some hard work you should be ok.

It kinda saddens me how when asked about spirituality[although his terms was religions, to be fair I suppose] people just turn down immediately without finding a little open mindedness, in general, not attacking anyone or anything. I am not thinking of the proper 'religions' which are organizations that you and I know what's not to believe to[I do not for example, consider religion as something I should follow, I will take a good tip from here and there, from my owns I'd probably take some cultural things which are basically like nationality more than religion signs but I myself live my life as the next fellow in England more or less f.ex], I'm talking about considering[a hard debate within yourself, not following like a sheep] and questioning the existence, asking stuff like why am I here in this body born at that time etc, when I could be... what about a total non existence which is something beyond humane persception.

Sorry for a big boring text, just a little outlet, not forcing anyone.

[Daffy]

Like you also point out the term he used was religion to me implies he's talking about the big organized 'structured' religions.
As for being spiritual that's kind of a loose term and one people who don't define themselves as atheists while not feeling the appeal of the bigger religions (except Buddhism, Hinduism, Taoism or insert the name of another Eastern religion) like to throw around and label themselves with in their own annoying stuck-up self-righteous fart-sniffing way.
The bottom line is that no one knows and can know for sure regardless of whatever fucking make-believe ego-stroking puffy-cloudy veil-filter people like to drag down over their faces and see the world through.
That doesn't mean there aren't positive, empowering messages to take from different religions, spiritual practices or whatnot, there is that for sure but as far as I'm concerned we all (the 98% of us that aren't psychopaths or sociopaths) know what's morally sound and what's not and we don't need religion to be taught that.
Some imbeciles might need the added fear of punishment but a fuck-up like that is also capable to use religion as a means to justify immoral actions.
I'm not knocking anyone's religion as long as they keep it to themselves and don't force it upon anyone else either by recruiting and organizing or as a tool for violence.

If you have the common sense to not believe the bullshit that the big proper religions force-feed people who blindly follow like sheep, then why should you make up some shit of your own to blindly follow as a sheep?
How about just being honest with yourself and come to terms with the fact that none of us have the big answers to the big questions, be open minded, be fair, don't be a cunt and see what happens, if something happens.
That's all we really can do, the rest is just make-belief and wishful thinking.
Plus I don't even have to risk being wrong as I never claimed to be 'right' in the first place.

Neil deGrasse Tyson: Atheist or Agnostic?

[TurBo]

I never claimed to be right too, I just said I keep asking and keep the thing opened. I am totally against religions offering rules[with the punishment too so the fear avoids you from questioning supposedly] for the masses in disguise of morality which in a broad perspective make absolutely no sense and often encourage war and morally fucked up stuff in order to manipulate[wheather it is to gain power over a group or someone for a myraid of reasons I can not always explain getting a division between groups of people].

I don't make my own shit up as I don't know too obviously, just saying I like to view the matter openly, didn't mean to force anyone to be or not be anything as I said up there, just that I myself like the more detailed answers[such as yours was], and I felt a need to say it.

P.S: I like what Neil degrasse says, I myself am saying I'm jewish only rarely and more concerned with descent just because people often assume I am religious which I'm far from, I do embrace some of the culture but I am a free man in the world with my own set of beliefs, he nicely put that there.

[Daffy]

P.S too: I was making more of a general statement rather than looking for holes in what you said just to be clear.

[Determined]

I fucking love eastern & indian teachings of spirituality & way of thought, I've read Bhagavad Gita, Sayings Of Buddha, Analects of Confucius, Tao te Ching & various other stuff online, it is really quite interesting, and though I approach the subject very sceptically, there are definitely a lot of things that apply to modern society & more so,  tp myself. I've tried lots of techniques to improve myself, like meditation, cognitive therapy (though it might seem quite modern, it was actually Anicius Boethius who described it perfectly in The Consolation of Philosophy, 524, the book he wrote before he was executed in which he confesses that at the beginning he was anything but philosophical about his impending doom, yet it was the cognitive therapy (Lady Philosophy) that helped him take his death philosophically & be happy for what he has) & I do innately perceive myself as a spiritual being & even though I do not believe in any superior entity (I believe we are all gods in a sense, god is a creator, so are we), I do believe there's a lot more to this world than we see. I do not, however, associate myself with any form of religion as it is purely engineered to control the masses.

[MikeyMouse]

Some interesting stuff coming through here.

What do you guys think about 'forced religion', for example somebody who has been brought up by a heavily christian family, or muslim family, and then feel almost pressurised into believing in the same things as their family. One of my best friends is a muslim, but doesn't agree with a lot of the things that are associated with Islam. However because of his families beliefs, he accepts himself as a muslim in order to stay part of his family. Is there anything that anyone can do about such a thing, without causing huge family issues? Have you any of you guys experienced something like that, or peers experiencing it?

[Daffy]

There's different ways of supporting something, for example the verbal way versus the active way like for example a lot of people will say "I support the troops" if the topic of the current wars come up.
By saying that they give their verbal support which really means "I'm not gonna talk shit about them, it or whatever" while not making an active contribution either for or against.
Which is a middle-ground a lot of people choose as it allows them to co-exist peacefully with the people they love and not have to partake in their daily religion-based rituals.
I suppose you could argue that the right thing to do would be to distance oneself from the religion as it also gives support to all the injustices that are practiced in that religions name but that's a choice I honestly can't judge one for not making due to the possible consequences.
I believe South Park calls this middle-ground "having your cake... and eating it too!".

Besides his kids are probably not going to have to even make that choice unless he marries some hardcore fanatic so the problem is basically gone in the matter of one generation when looking at it as a evolutionary processes is extremely quick and quite encouraging from where I'm sitting.
