General Discussion / RE: Kids and Guns
« on: July 04, 2005, 11:20:00 PM »
Politics wasnt the reason I made this tread TP, though it does look like it,since this thread by nature of what it contains, does have a connection to politics. :)

Like I was talking to Leanthar about via PM, there was in a way an alterior motive behind me posting this particular thread.

Two weeks ago my friend Leah lost her 6 year old boy, Joshua, to a pistol found beside a dumpster while he was out playing with his friends. Over the past two weeks, Ive probably spent half the time over at her house, consoling her, trying to help ease the pain as much as I can. And me getting this e-mail so soon thereafter just sent a chill down my spine. In a way, I posted this to try to get everyones opinion as to why and how children have gotten so much of an infatuation of weapons as of lately. Also, in a way, its a way for me to try to find comfort and closure to this horrible situation that I was thrown in.

This is the main reason I worked on those haks, a way for me to keep myself busy, not letting me get into a rut, as in nothing to do, so all I could do was to think about it.

So, it wasnt about politics, religion, or any other type of subject that could be touchy towards some people, it was a way for me to try to get answers and get some understanding as to why this ...... travisty of a trend is becoming so...... normal.

But who's fault was it? The person that tossed the pistol so carelessly away beside a dumpster? Or Leah, because she never owned a weapon by choice, and in her moral judgement, she made it so that her son had no way to learn how to properly use and respect a weapon? I think thats the question thats been eating at my brain the most.

I can understand whole-heartidly on that friend.

Noone knows when that burning ember will make its way into the dynamite shed, and blow it sky high.

Not a problem Leanthar. ;)

As stated before, I had no intention of stirring up the perverbial pot, but something in the e-mail got my mind thinking, an I just wanted to see what other people thought of it.

So, to make sure I dont post any non-suitable topics, besides the obvious, being religion and politics, what would be inappropriate?

Should I think like this: Any type of information that may, in some way, shape, form, or fashion... have a chance of offending a person, either by the thier upbringing, standings on situations, or thier living area of the world, dont post it.

Correct?

An addendum. This was not meant to start any type of controversy or any type of argument, and I whole heartidly agree with you Dorganath. Civility is the only way to properly talk in or reply to this thread.

If this thread does start some kind of issue, I am sorry for that. But I try to post threads that make people think, use thier minds, and/or open thier eyes to things they may not know.

After reading your problem more crefully, it sounds like your language files got messed up.

There is an NWN Live 1.29 english languge pack on this site:
http://icculus.org/~ravage/nwn/

I honestly dont know what would happen putting a 1.29 NWN Live language pack over an HoTU 1.66 install, but it is something you my try before (and if, for that fact) you reinstall.

ya, first thing to do is to run ./fixinstall in the command line.

if that doesnt work, if you hve a windows install of nwn the same version, copy over all the data from ll the folders over to your lixun install, then run ./fixinstall

Really sounds like a data corruption.

If that doesnt work, you may be like me..... downloading a file over a gig to reinstall it :(

Ran with the same video card in my box for a long time till I got my 256M one.

Runs NWN just fine, though you might have to turn down a couple settings.   ;)
