I'm gonna eat chocolate and go to my cuz's house. But he's 3...

I'm gonna spend it as always. I'm gonna go to church for two hours, stay upstairs while my family hides the Easter Baskets, then we get clues and try to find ours. Then we just eat. I MIGHT make a quick Easter level to celebrate.

No. I get hanukah presents, though. :3

LittleZbot · Post by **LittleZbot** » Sat Apr 23, 2011 9:19 pm

I don't even celebrate Hanukkah. Are that and Christmas pretty much the same?

BTW, what ti people mean when they type ":3"?

FYI Easter originally comes from the Jewish Passover/Pesach, as the entire Christian religion originally comes from the Jews.

I have no idea what "hanukah" is but I like Chinese food though, no matter on Easter, or Christmas. Even on new years day.

As I said a little while ago: There have been too many wars because of religion, too many people killed and tortured because of religion.

If you only say things in an objective way like: Christians believe this, Jews believe that, and Muslims believe something else, there will be no problem, but please don't act on this forum as if your religion is the one and only truth! (You'd better make a new topic about the weather

)

Hanukkah is Christmas for Jews.

I think the message is OK, since it expressed Sammy's feelings about xpr'd being a jew, which might surprise a few people

But there might be a trace of personal attack depending on how you take it.

Tyteen, i'm SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO surprised abou you saying that!!!!!!!!!

But seriously, you have even on your own 3Studio forum rules about spam and about messages must be clear, and they must really have something to say; no nonsense. (translated in my own words, if I understood and remember well)

Also I wonder what's surprising about being a Jew. Some people are Jew, other people are not. I am a Dutchmen. ...NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO... You are a Chinese. ...NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO...

Or should I say: NYO ?

Marinus · Post by **Marinus** » Sat Apr 23, 2011 11:09 pm

Sorry for double post. I did a little research, and here are some parts of your own rules, especially the bold parts, which apply to the mentioned post.

http://www.pcpuzzle.com/forum/viewtopic ... c&start=56

...

-Spamming (Off Topic)
While spam maybe have more then one meaning the overall idea is the same. SPAM stands for Stupid Pointless Annoying Message. Spamming includes, but is not limited to anything irrelevant to the topic at had, using multiple ‘!’ or stretching out words with multiple letters, over using smilies, and one word responses such as ‘lol‘.
Any spam found on the forums will be deleted.

...

-Posting Styles
Posts have to be readable, do not use any irritating fonts or colors and keep sizes reasonable.

...

Did you change your rules, or your opinion in the meantime?

Yeah, no. Different people have different beliefs. If you can't accept it, don't comment on it. More than anything else, don't try and force your own beliefs onto others - it's almost guaranteed to make you look rude, and chances are, it won't work.

tyteen4a03 · Post by **tyteen4a03** » Sat Apr 23, 2011 11:47 pm

I won't take those expressions as purely nonsense - they don't mean much, but they do hold a meaning. Also, since this forum aren't running on 3.studIo rules, there may be slight changes while the same set of concept are being carried out. (?)

But yeah, it is pretty much a personal attack.

Q: My brain is broken. Please override me. :P

Marinus · Post by **Marinus** » Sun Apr 24, 2011 12:19 am

Qloof, thanks. I'm not sure if the word "Jew" means a member of a religion/belief, of or member of a group of people who came originally from the country Israel, but I think it doesn't make much difference in this situation.

Tyteen, you're right about this: Those rules don't apply to this forum, but, in my opinion, they do apply to you. If XPR or Q would have said that, then I wouldn't have mentioned those rules, because they didn't make those rules or at least, they didn't suggest to use those rules also for this forum, like you did.

But in the end, it is not about rules, like I said several times before; It is about that people are not bothering other people by making nonsense posts. And you can say that it has a meaning, well, perhaps you're right. If you would write here in Chinese, it also would have a meaning. But all those Chinese signs are quite nonsense to all of us coming from Europe or America. Therefore we should make clear that other people also understand what we mean. And only the word "no" (which was a lie, if XPR was telling the truth) with 65 O's, in size 214, is quite unclear to me, or, with other words, quite nonsense.

(But I have to agree that :3 looks like a guy with two noses.

I hope you know how much I hate you right now. no not really

If you don't agree with my religion or beliefs, don't get involved with them. There's nothing wrong with being a jew or anything.

Is this topic getting derailed? Because most of my posts were on topic

Anyway today I just woke up, had breakfast, then went to my room, closed the door, but something was blocking the door and it was a chocolate bunny and a dvd copy of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows part 1

No. As an answer to "What are you doing for Easter?" there are some logical questions back like:

- What does Easter mean?
- Why do you say Easter instead of simply 24 April?

Well the answer to those questions possibly depend on someone's culture, religion or belief. Perhaps Easter means something different for a christian, jew, muslim, agnost, or atheist.

_______

Emerald, an agnost does not necessary have to be an atheist. In a way I am agnostic as well, but I'm definitely not atheistic. An agnost does not say "It is not true", but only "There is no evidence that it is true".

So, an agnost can believe in any religion, but in the meantime think that there is no evidence that any religion is true.
