Oooooo...I really like the "Winter" one.

1v1 WW2 Sniper VS Soldier

Okay ^_^ I'll get one up later too. Just gotta find some good pictures.I may watch it when I have some time today. ^_^ But when it comes to WWII, Band of Brothers and Saving Private Ryan are more my thing, same can be said for Miracle at St. Anna

I have a bit of an obsession with Russian and Soviet history so naturally the Eastern Front is of great interest to me. Also, surprisingly I have not seen Saving Private Ryan. I've heard many great things about it though so will watch it eventually. My history teacher I had in high school said the opening scenes are incredibly historically accurate too.

Religion(s) and Atheism

Magic Magnum said
Not really.I'm not making a Religion out of me being God, I just am God. :PNot surprising.In my experience of having been Religious, became atheist later in life and had the chance to be involved in both Christian and Atheist groups growing up I find many people leave their religions cause they either:a) They morally disagree with their Religionb) The Religion doesn't accept themGranted, stuff like looking at science, evidence and bible contradictions also plays roles.But many people I've talked to claimed to of left mainly for personal/moral reasons.I guess it has largely to do with people going to Religion because it gives them some sense of happiness, acceptance and purpose. But when said Religion turns around and becomes bigoted, you start to lose the reasons you came to it and decide you're better off leaving.In my case, when I learned stuff like "God hates Homosexuals" I remained Christian.Just a Christian who hated God, I didn't think not liking God was a good enough reason to say he doesn't exist.I had to be shown bible contradictions and scientific reasons God couldn't exist before I left Religion and became an atheist.That's just how I am though, no matter how hard the truth may hurt. I'll accept it if I actually do believe it to be the truth. I won't hide from facts or life because it's inconvenient or disagree's with me. Many people though just want to surround themselves with things that makes them happy and bolsters their self-esteem and joy. So when the way their Religion act's takes that away from them... many will jump ship.

I suppose I'm a rather unique case since I was never religious. It's just not the way I was brought up, and as a result almost everybody in my family is atheist/agnostic. I've had periods where I was seeking out something to believe in due to severe depression, but ultimately in the end I found it hard to delude myself. With that said, these stats don't hugely surprise me since I was able to view religion from the outside and what many theists really teach about homosexuality. I mentioned it earlier either in this thread or the other, but I know of somebody personally who was essentially disowned by her religious family simply for being lesbian. And Christians claim to support "family values". Pfft...so much for that since they're disowning children.

Able Archer 1983

Yea, sorry. I'm going to try to do a post some time today. I wanted to yesterday actually, but thanks to the shitty weekend bus schedule I ended up taking much longer to get home than expected.

What's Bothering You?

Swarley said
Well right now I guess the thing that's bothering me is my own envy of talented people. There's so many things out there (Specifically artistic endeavors) that I know for a fact I'm not able to do, however I really want to do them. Blech, I don't even know what I'm saying.

I know the feeling, and to top it off I have no marketable skills. I literally have nothing to make a living off of.

Religion(s) and Atheism

I just stumbled upon this. Something to ponder...

Abortion Discussion

It's ultimately up to the mother. No exceptions.

1v1 WW2 Sniper VS Soldier

Rusalka said
That's basically the understanding I get about Arena RP is it is more combat than story driven, but there's a dispute at the moment if mine is plausible. And I don't technically have anyone yet, so I'll be sure to keep you posted if anything happens. Thank you very much for your interest though. ^_^ I'm a bit of a history nerd myself really, and WWII Europe appeals to me alot.

Okay, awesome! Just message me and let me know. And btw, watch Enemy At The Gates. It's historically inaccurate and everybody speaks in a British accent, but overall it's a good movie.

1v1 WW2 Sniper VS Soldier

Omg I'd so do this with you, but it seems you already found somebody. I have huge interest in WW II and am yet to try out arena RP. From my understanding it's less story-driven and focuses mainly on combat scenarios.

The Iron Curtain: A Cold War NRP

I do not mind playing as America.

That's perfect then. Our last America bailed on us, and well...it's not a Cold War without the evil capitalist entity.
