Can people just give up on the idea of a Light type? It'll never happen, and the only reason Dark and Steel were introduced in the first place was because the Psychic type was so overpowered in the 1st gen.
 
Yeah, I'm not too ecstatic about this Eeveelution. I mean, it's not bad, it's just... kind of boring. Just a generic cute mammal.
 
By the way, out of curiosity, am I the only one that doesn't think the 5th gen. was a total disappointment? :/ I think it was the second best generation of Pokemon ever behind 2nd gen.

Is... is that a plague doctor? O_o
 
Welp, there's your "Best Species Specific Wearable" winner for next year's Neopies. Nothing's beating that.

Well, this is quite an intriguing change. I do think the new art is pretty, though I don't think it's that much better than the old art. I do agree with Xepha that I liked actually seeing the faeries in the bottle.
 
As for whether or not they'll keep abilities, I doubt it, considering all of the abilities except for Burrow, Sink, and Drain Life were useless. It'll be a welcome change to see this new system. Hopefully, the new abilities will actually have more of an impact, and there will be some equivalent of Burrow, Sink, and Drain Life.

Wow, you guys are a heck of a lot more positive than the Negative Nancys that frequent the Neoboards. I appreciate that. :)

Yeah, I'm pretty sure the wearable comes with the token. No need to buy it separately.

Hmm... I think it's about time I used the rest of my TFR plot points to get some ASPs. ;)

Eh, I wouldn't worry about it. You won't get frozen unless you keep it up.
 
I would get your laptop looked at, though. This happened to me for awhile in the past, and I had a lot of dust clogged up in it (what can I say? College kid). Once the dust was cleaned out, it worked fine.
 
That, or get one of those cooling pads.

There's too many goals on the site, it'll be shut down before I accomplish them all. I don't even want to think about this question.

Voted for the Misty Shenkuu BG, can't believe the wings are winning.
 
Come on, people! We've got enough girly items!

I started doing stocks again, and I made around 2M from selling a lot of my UNIB stocks. Wow, that skyrockted. :O

I'm agnostic, and I'm not going to lie, I know very little about religion. Never studied it or read any religious texts or anything.
 
The way I see it, religion is like most things in the world. It's only bad if taken to extremes, and that plus the media is why religion has such a bad rep nowadays. Because the sad truth is, bad news and dirt sell, and no one cares about good news. From there, it's all a case of what I call "The Rule of the Loud Minority." Because it's all the nutjobs making the news and not the people who do good things, it causes people to think ALL religious people are nutjobs like that, when, like in most groups, they're a tiny minority. Most people who practice religion are normal, as far as I could tell from the community. I'm fine with religious people, as long as they're not trying to convert me or they're not extremists.
 
That said, I do think the media factors into the perception of religion, since 99% of the mainstream news out there is negative anyway, and nobody gets to read about the good things religion does. For all we know, there could be more good things being done than bad that aren't reported because, like I said, good news doesn't sell. *shrug* So I guess I'm kind of neutral about the whole situation.
 
Of course, that's probably a very simplistic view, but like I said, religion is a topic I tend to shy away from and don't know much about. And I know everyone's going to disagree with me, because the Internet is a largely liberal, atheistic realm.

Use those (follow NeoQuestBossLevels, NOT Wiggles for boss levels), and you'll be fine. :)

Just tried it, and it worked fine for me. I don't know what the problem could be.

Religion has definitely done more bad than good.
 
That is NOT to say that it has not done good, and that is NOT to say that the people who misuse religion would have such perfect morals if only they were atheists. On a small scale, a lot of religions are fantastic. On a larger scale, unfortunately, not so much.
 
The reason why religion has done more bad than good is because mostly, the people who make it bad are simply bad themselves. The same people would still be jerks if they were atheists. But take religion out of the mix, and those people are jerks without power. Take religion out, and you can't use religion to discriminate against others. Take away religion...who knows what terrorists of such-and-such religious persuasion would do? Perhaps they would still bomb in the name of something.
 
Take religion out of the mix, and science would be so much more advanced than it is now. Look at what happened to scientists throughout history--the church wouldn't just kill them; they would torture them. That's what happens when people get a hold of power. And when "the greatest being in the universe" is what's giving you power, when you are basing morals off of an arbitrary set of rules rather than on thinking things through, and when you tell people that faith is more important than thought, then you are far more likely to do some scary stuff. (Godwin's Law: YOU KNOW WHO ELSE DIDN'T QUESTION THEIR ORDERS FROM A SUPERIOR?)
 
What makes religion scary is that it takes out the thought process. You're told to obey stuff without thinking about why. If you think about stuff, BOOM--you're a witch! BURN HER! THAT'S why religion is damaging.
 
On a smaller scale, a lot of religious people--and their religious organizations--do a lot of good. I feel that these people would still BE good in their hearts if they were not religious. Those people are like me--they want to do good for the sake of doing good, not because God scares them into it. But the differences between them and me: they are part of a group, and they are stronger in that group. The love, the thought of God, the core of their religion uplifts them and inspires them. And in that way, religion is wonderful. I wish all religion could be like that.

I tend to love the poorly drawn items drawn on Artists Day off. Some examples:
 

 

 

 

So we've got a Kau farmer... with Kaus? :O That's a little weird.
