Henry
get a life

That's pretty much what it's about, I think....

The answer to life, the universe, and everything. ( Not 42!)

Religions around the planet try to answer those questions, many of them disagree. It brings out the most basic insecurities in most people.

The structure of religion always come with a code of conduct, rules and regulation. They often disagree with other systems, create conflict.

These rules blend into politics. Law and freedom. Again, many conflicts. Basic ones. And very basic insecurities are again brought to the surface.

This is essentially the most stressful stuff, and there will always be massive conflict to dominate and challenge simply because of how basic and fear based the root of this all is.

What is SimOuthouse? A hobbiest flightsim sight. A realization of aviation enthuisiasm at the home computer.

It's an amazing hobby that's generated technology and home experience that I never thought I'd see in my lifetime.

And it's not the answer to life, the universe, and everthing. It's simply an enjoyable diversion from the difficult path of life that we must endure in our own way.

Why bring the basic fears and conflict into this fine oasis. Why not check the guns in at the Marshall's office and just enjoy this place for what it was originally designed for. Enjoyment, release of stress, satisfaction and pursuit of curiosity about aviation.

There is a place for the hard stuff....I've already written. The deterent is that the exploiters would find it real work in that place. Truly they're looking for a soft target.

That's what Newshawks has become.

It's all so simple, safeguards have been in place and have proven effective in the past. What reluctance to easily reinforce these tools?

Good point Henry.

The funniest part about all of this is that 'some' people freaked out on the post! The trouble makers stirred the pot and made the thread to look bad, and now are saying that 'posting 'happy this day' or 'happy that day' is just not right! Post on news but not 'happy days'....

What in the world!

We were doing this with FS... FS2004 people going into the FSX room and starting riots. FSX people going into the FS2004 room and causing heck... I say grow up... Even I was doing that, making bad comments about FSX and yeah, it was wrong, and yeah, I learned my lesson, and yeah, I dont do it any more. I threw rocks at other peoples interests and it was wrong.. Bottom line.

My dad used to say, if you cant say anything nice, dont say anything... Its so true. Otherwise, if I said only negative things, you guys would think I was some negative, depressing, burnt out ole nooot with a cold soul who only see's the bad things in the world. Sure, I see bad things and yeah, I dont comment on them. If the guys are talking about something 'wacked' that I dont agree with, I am not going into their thread and shoot them down for something I 'dont' believe in...

When I see a argument in the QMS about Obamma, I want SO BAD to go in there and stand up for him.... SO BAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But hey, whats the use. I am for what I believe in, and I am going to respect the thoughts and beliefs of others, be it happy easter day, pagan day, Christmas, druids day, Pope day, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc.... I do not tell people what to write, what to live by.

Freedom..... Its about peace and freedom...


Can you handle it?

I suppose we should stop the Happy Birthday threads now too ...

I suppose we should stop the Happy Birthday threads now too ...

Why? Because birthday threads are elitist? The rules say that there are no politics and religion in newshawks. You're trying to say birthdays and religion are the same. They are not. Birthdays are not a belief system.

I enjoyed that perspective. Most people can find identity by siding with a cause. Looking at past conflict really puts things into perspective.

What I find "funny" (read pathetic,) is the number of people who know a thread could be potentially "harmful to their over sensitive feelings", and yet open the thread anyhow, become offended as they suspected they would, and then cry about it.

Ah, the good old "taking the internet too seriously" thing...

LoL! :d

I beg to differ. They are self Idolization, actually a religious thing. Idolizing self over others.

Or, the old "taking themselves too seriously," thing.

I happened to know a few people growing up that had a religion about birthdays and made a big deal outta mine. Summer solstice is a big deal to some Wickens.


Nevertheless, I enjoy celebrating the birthdays of others. My girlfriend and I have contest to see who can make a bigger deal out of the other's birthday.

Birthdays arent religious? Why do we have Godfather and Mothers? Why do we get baptized? Why do we count years AD and BC? Birth and children are gifts from God to be celebrated, at least where I came from. Just an observation.

Another observation: Law and the foundation of our nation and belief system are based on Christian values.

Thankfully not my country!!* And which christian values would those be? The bit in the bible that says you can sell your daughter into slavery if she cheeks you(actually that could be tempting LOL), the death to gays bits,etc etc?

As a complete atheist, I would rather all religion be kept out of what is a flight sim forum after all, not just because of my personal stand on religion but because you can always see the trouble it causes when an immovable object comes into contact with an irresistable force!


* Nor,IMHO, the USA, if you look at the intentions of the founding fathers!

Contrary opinion: "Godfather" and "-mother" are just there for the sake of terms, kids are there because biological stuff was at work, kids get a birth certificate and years get counted in AD and BC because it has been like that for centuries (Why is there °F as a unit of mesure if °C is way more logical?).
At least where I come from and live.

Another observation: Law and the foundation of our nation and belief system are based on Christian values.

Actually, if I interpret the articles on Wikipedia correctly, most continental european jurisdictive systems and collections of laws were mostly based on concepts coming directly from the Romans. The church just ran their own agenda in parallel until its influence on the juristictive system got ever less.
And since Americans are more or less direct descendants of Europeans, I guess a more down-to-earth law system in the spirit of the Enlightenment age is way more probable than a Christian one.
