People that "believe in God" could argue the same thing. My point being. -

No. God could exist; I just don't think it's very likely.
Evidently some people have the ability to choose to believe, but for me it's not a choice--it's just how things are.
Correct me if I'm wrong but it took many, many years until someone called Isaac to believe in something called gravity. It took a few more years for him to "prove" such a thing. -
Don't do what I occaisonally do and pick on someone twice your size. It sorta hurts.

I do not see how having your limbs frozen off is enjoyable. I quite like having 30-34 degrees celcius with 85% humidity. And I work in quite warm environments.

I believe that God is the Great First Cause. It's like a tornado blowing through a junkyard and leaving behind not a huge mess but reassembled appliances, cars and stuff. That's just how I see it.

Being Christian myself, I've seen things people that want go the "scientific" way can't exactly explain. But on some things I can meet half way. Although I have seen some absolute crap reasons on both sides that try to explain things that make no sence what-so-ever. -

You'd get sick of the rain once you live here in Queensland. It's winter and we're still copping a heap of it now and again. -
You'd be surprised how many Uranium mines are in Australia. None of which is used here. It's all shipped overseas

And I am lead to believe that the amount of resources spent on finding Bin Laden was something ridiculous.

There are so many more, if only I could think of them

I dunno about that. Australia has the lowest population density in the world. About 3 people per square kilometre, or so I've heard -
The newer versions just seem a bit...strange. I'm used to the older versions and can be a bit sentimental like that. I also seem to get slightly better stats when I create a new character. I'm not sure if that's just me

Wasn't oviraptor the one they thought ate everyone elses eggs?

My dad, although an American, he emigrated here to Australia. That aside, the only person I know in my close family that ever saw a part in any war was my grandfather. He was born in Rotterdam a couple years before it got Blitzed.

I've been getting into the old Marathon series lately. A tad different from what I remember, and its one of very few games I had on my old mac that will work on my crappy pc.

No, it makes you a feudalist - a 'Victorian' in the purest sense.
Sorry, Queenslander jokes don't even raise a smile any more - Victorians are much more fun.
I wasn't even aware there were jokes about us Queenslanders. Then again, I haven't step foot out of here much ever. -
I had a tiny bit of a "game addicted" period a few years ago. I was playing E3 one afternoon and a certain song came on that for some reason caught my attention wile playing. Thereafter for the next 3 months, every time I heard that song, I itched to play E3, and that song was played many times over and over on radio and the like.

I actually found that some of the more useless spells sometimes seemed a little more useful when used in conjunction with an actual useful spell. Like using fear on strongish monsters seem to make them easier to sharm and to use Capture Soul on.

Though I'm out of work at the moment, steel fabrication.

I listen to large range of stuff, but I'll have stages where I will listen to mostly one genre for months. At the moment I'm in a metal stage. Metallica, Rammstein, Rage against The Machine...
I also occaisonaly get stuck into mostly listening to the same band the majority of the time. Right now it's Slayer.

I don't think you ever have or could take anything to X, except for something to do with a forge(?).

We had plenty of them around too. They were quite strange mind you

Me and a few friends had a hobb a couple years ago where we rode bikes off jetties into the local river that I used to live near. It was great fun. -
I've always wondered what Canada looks like.

Mine has a slightly different effect. I can't receive a "requested"amount, only the same amount of what I'm cloning. Plus it increases the value of my items I can't stack :
