(Carristan News Network, Copyright Infringement man!) Okay. I'll get right to the d**n point, since I tried to write a rant but PHAYLED. Right. Yeah. Cool. Okay. Right. STOP FXCKING USING STOCKPHOTO.. PHOTOS. PEOPLE MAKE THEIR FXCKING LIVELIHOODS WITH THOSE PHOTOS. (Or to supplement their incomes, but who gives a d**n!) Re-hosting it is nice, but with no credit to the owner? Bad, bad bad. /: I know I myself have used Photos in the past(Not from Stockphotos, but still not mine) Infact, I still have it in my photobucket. But I don't use them anymore. My charrie page? Frozen, no need to worry about that. So no pictures there. I have some pictures on the old Lakeclan, and some here, aswell. But my newest(Templar) has none. I think Echo has none either, but I'm not sure. Ghosty had one, but I don't really use Ghosty anymore. Voleclaw, Kinslayer and Silverstar didn't have pictures(I didn't roleplay Voleclaw, but I think I created him o.o) Yeah. The point is. Don't use Stockphotos. Because if you do, ...... Fxck you. =D Yeah. I'm a downloading piece of sheet, yeah, but I'm anti stealing photos. >_> Because getting your art(PHOTOGRAPHY IS AN ART. SO IS WRITING. AND SINGING. ALOT OF THINGS ARE ART. SO RAWR) stolen really puts you down. Yeah. Stop using pictures, describe your cats with words, or pictures you got WITH permission from the creator.( I swear if you think you just need to ask God I'll strangle you) And... That's it for today kids! Steal art and I'll feckin' kill you. e____e

From a beginning photographer...
HERE HERE!
And I'm gonna say before somebody runs me over for supporting Frosty in his rants just because he's my bestest friend... I support him because he has good points. If he posts a crackpot rant about Theology or something, I WILL prolly disagree.
So THAR!

xD One thinks that you do not disagree with me, Stormy, but they have obviously never seen the arguments in our neomails. xD Religion is the work of man >_> Or as the religious man would say, 'The work of the devil' Why? It makes people fight. xD God knows how many wars/fights/quarrels were due to religion. But Religion also unifies people, somewhat, while also saying 'Anyone who isn't a part of our religion sucks corporate *censor*!' So Religion is good and bad, but for me mostly bad. >_> I'm the guy who likes to have one of these things. One religion, One race, One God, One Country, One World, One.... GOD I DON'T KNOW INVENT YOUR OWN NUB. D:

DUUUUDE!
Some people blame wars on religion, because so many wars were fought over religious stuff.
I read in my Higher Things magazine, that some dumby said that if Christianity was eliminated, there'd be no more war.
BRAINWASHED BLUEBERRY BRAN MUFFIN!!!!!!!!!

Ah hah hah! I need to look through history, but right now I just have the crusades, since the Iraq war was about oil, not religion. And, that dumby is halfway to the right answer. One does not eliminate Christianity. One eliminates all religions! And then you make a new one and kill anyone who tries to make their own religion :3 But if we didn't have Christianity.... We'd all be Muslims. And I'd hate that. Because Muslims restrict free speech. >_> I think I'll just stay in my religious gray zone. Screw religion, I have God.

xD It's not a problem, aslong as you give it credit, instead of blatantly ripping it, only living the the Stockphoto logo on the photo as proof that you took it off Stockphoto. Credit is all that is needed. Whee.

Frosty...
Yeah, but even if you DID eliminate all religions, and we all became Muslims/Athiests, the sin would still be there, and as long as this universe exists, there's gonna be sin, and for as long as sin exists, there's gonna be people fighting, and there's gonna be war. So even if you DID eliminate religion, people'd just find another reason to shoot guns at each other.

So even if you DID eliminate religion, people'd just find another reason to shoot guns at each other. -------- Agreed, Hah. But there would be less reasons to shoot each other and make wars. You don't like a group of people? There's only one race, so you're gonna have a problem there. There's only one religion, problem there. You want more resources? The whole world is one country, so good luck trying to make war. But people will find a way around that, but when they do, kill them. They know too much >_> SMART PEOPLE HAVE NO PLACE IN MAH DICTATORSHIP.

----- Just one country solves the problem, does it? Um... -looks back at history- lemme see.... loads of rebellions, not to mention the American Civil War...
And while eliminating religious would make less reasons to start a war, humans are by nature imaginative in many, many fields(Just flip through a book of medieval tortures if you don't believe me), and even if Religion was taken out of the picture, there'd still be thousands of ways to write a war. Lemme see... there's science. Russia could've easily started a war with the US if they tried to steal NASA's secrets. Then there's politics, which, I believe, started WWI. Wasn't an ambassador from Austria that got shot, and started the war? something like that... Then there's kin. Oh, you killed my brother, so I'm going to kill you, nevermind that you're this huge, famous guy from Germany. Except.. that sort of gets wrapped up in politics, doesn't it? Maybe I should write a book: 101 Ways to Star a War if Religion is Eliminated. ^^

----- I can see what you're trying to subtly put in here, that religion isn't evil. xDDDD SUBLIMINAL MESSAGES. Rebellions, you say? Keep the cattle in a herd, docility is easier with a larger amount of people. :3 I'm sure you wouldn't mind running around committing crimes if there were only five other people in the world, but make it five million. But I really don't see how the rebellion would be formed. It would be like how it works in farms. Humanity is a chicken. Weaponry is it's beak. Cut off it's beak, and you get vulnerable fellows who can't do a thing. Wanna rush me with your kitchen knife, rebelling civilian?? Eat shotgun, betch. xDDDD
loads of rebellions, not to mention the American Civil War... ----- The American Civil War actually started because of slavery of the blacks, didn't it? One side wanted to keep their slaves, so they went up to Lincoln and showed him the finger, and then he was all like 'Fck those betches, I'mma chargin mah lazor!' so the states that wanted slavery to be gone united together and beat the fck outta the Confederates right?
Actually I think ancient torture is much cooler. Look up the Brazen Bull on wikipedia. Pure win for torture. But what some people don't understand is the most powerful torture which people don't really look at is psychological torture. Merri, if I took you and stuffed you in a room with no windows, where the light would go on and off for random intervals, sometimes on for hours, sometimes off, and sometimes just flickering, with your food being delivered in random intervals at well, and nothing in your room at all, just walls and a light.... Your perception of time and date would become scrambled. If I kept you in for sixty days, You'd probably be -Insane -Willing to be docile -Think of the evil guy who stuffed you in such a place as your benefactor(Stockholm syndrome, I think) -Grateful to be back in the bright lands, and possibly not wanting to get near the place again.
But, Merri, what politics are there? It's a dictatorship. No politics involved. You don't agree with what I say? Guards, deal with him. (*in background, multiple shots*)
Actually, Russia did steal some secrets, before the USA retaliated. It was the Farewell Dossier. Some KGB dude spilled the beans and showed what the Soviets were after. So the Americans stuffed in some extra code .. or whatever.. It caused an explosion in their gas line, I think. With the kin thing... There's punishment. Get a punishment so bad and you deter people. It's worked alot. They left dead Jews hanging to the gallows in the ghettos during WWII, They left dead outlaws and criminals heads stuck to pikes/trees/or their bodies hung to the gallows And to deter pirates, same thing with those guys. Brutal punishment often works. :3 As does violence. =D 'Put joor hands in teh air, drop teh gun! No lawl! All right then, FVCK YOU! -shoots the bastard over and over-' I'd like to see the book, and create a reply. 102 ways to stop war/rebellion after you've destroyed religion. xD What's the last way, you ask? If technology is good enough.. -takes answer from Via Sol 2- Police State! ID chips, standing army, the whole deal! xD

Dude. I was making examples.
And yeah, the Civil War started out that way, because the North disocvered suddenly that blacks were human and started feeling guilty, but the South felt they needed blacks for their cotton plantations, ect. So war broke out. But the reason why I said that, was because you were implying that if there was just one country, there couldn't be any wars, and I'm saying that there could be.
Dearie, what I've been saying all along, subtly or not, is that religion isn't the cause of all wars. There are thousands of ways to start a war without religion, and even if religion was completely eliminated, there'd still be plenty of ways to start a war, so I'm proving this dumb-bucket wrong, when he said that religion was the cause of all wars.
Sure, the crusadors were pretty daft, but so were a lot of people in those days. Just read the Witch of Blackbird Pond.... ..Actually, don't. That's a boring book. There were also the wars between Elizabeth... the first, I think, and her cousin, Bloody Mary, between the Prodestants and the Catholics... ...And I think there might've been wars more recently.. like in the past four centuries that had to do with religion, or, specifically, Christians.
Oh, and I'm not saying that all religion is evil. I don't think Christianity is evil. No. I take that back. The Evangelicals are bloody imbeciles, what with all the raise your arms and sway junk. ELCA is stupid, and they call themselves Lutherans. Catholics have some pretty crazy ideas, though I'd rather be Catholic than, say, Baptist, where you have to 'choose Jesus.' What a load of bloody crap. Methodists have a dreadful sense of the scripture. And as for Prodestants... -shudders- So, I take that back that Christianity is not evil. Lutheranism is not evil. Except for ELCA. But other types of Christianity, they're not technically evil really, just.. misguided.
And don't get me started on the Masonics, or the Mormons, or the Jehovah Witnesses.

Do you people think England should revert to Euro's? Do you think Europe should revert to the Dollar? Vice-versa? Krona into Francs? Forint into Drachmas? Can you think of a currency that could serve the whole world, knowing each location is feircely proud of their own money, the thing that stands them apart from the rest of the world. How is religion so much different?

And language! Remember the sad death of Esperanto? (Well - not death - fading out of existence maybe...)
Anyway, getting rid of religion doesn't work. Example: The old Communist Russia. If you persecute people for being religious beleivers their faith just becomes stronger.

Ah-haha. That is countered by doing this. Take many young fellows(Maybe about two, three? (Million, I mean)) And a couple of adults(thousands), along with the h00ge army. Right. Since we have a h00ge army, and we're fighting all those who rebel, we do this. Mass genocide. Everybahdy dies.(Except the huge army and aforementioned people and the dictator, of course.) So, once everybahdy dies, you tell the h00ge army to spread out and do the stuff the old guys who did there did. (Farming, fishing, cutting wood, working, all that crud, but we would have to work with what was needed most, so don't expect to see lame office jobs that can be accounted for later.) So, once we get our little kids to grow up, we weed out whichever of our old guys which we believe are planning something. And then we replace them with our little kiddies. We continue like that, all the while keeping a moderately sized standing army, and soon, even if people wanted to revolt and change, there was nothing to change to! All their lives they knew only the one religion, All their lives they knew only one type of money. So, if they did change, they'd have to make one of everything, again, and have peace, or try to have many of everything and watch their world crumble. So either way, dictator wins. x) If they split up, they'll fight each other to death over how stuff is to be split. If they don't, they'll be living like how the dictator wanted them too. :3 So I think it's mostly covered.
Anyway, getting rid of religion doesn't work. Example: The old Communist Russia. If you persecute people for being religious beleivers their faith just becomes stronger. -------- Maybe so, but if they're all dead? x3 No faith running around if all the believers are dead.
Also, about the money, screw their money, make new money for the whole world. Like your money and don't wanna give up, instead trying to hold up? Your money will then be worthless. If you still continue to sell and buy within your country, and refuse to give up, expect some chemicals to come your way. Let's see whether you want to change when half of your people are zombie-like mutants. x) I'm aware I'm fighting three people trying to prove me wrong because they think religion isn't the cause of much war, and I agree. Many things influence War. But from what I see, it's just greed, religion, disagreement.
About Language... SOLVED. Use English. Mass Genocide, so there's no one really to complain.
