The Demon Hunter WAS my least favorite, but with the hatred generation change, and playing all the other classes in the beta; the Demon Hunter is NOW my favorite.

I'm sure everything is still in-progress, but the background image would be cool if it staying in one place.

I like it. My one change would be take Meteor (Comet with the rune, for the ice / aoe slowing) over Frost Nova.

I think the Wizard will be great in PvP. The only class I would be concerned about it the WD, but from this years Blizzcon reactions, a lot of people said the WD was actually really good.

Skip the beta, get into the real deal (and possibly Titan)

Too bad it's a temp position without relocation assistance. They're probably looking for a local.

Excuses. excuses. If I were in the states, I'd snatch this up so fast. It's so rough even getting an unpaid position here in Seoul.

This is a foot in the door/connections, type deal.

Ye i could not agree more. My view of reading that post is exactly the same. I dont know how much it could cost to live there during the period but i will guess atleast some 100$ a week.

If you have alot of money saved up, take the chance.

Try more like a minimum of $500 a month just for a crappy apartment shared with 3 people. Then tack on all the other bills, food, transportation. If you don't live there already, you would be better off buying a lottery ticket.

Quote from proletaria

Quote from Pit Stains

People can believe the bible is a fairy tale. Other peoples beliefs shouldn't effect you.

Poeple can believe anything. It is literally impossible to prevent someone from believing something or not. That said, people's beliefs shouldn't, but do effect me and others (even other believers). To contend that beliefs don't effect others is a patent fallacy. I'm effected on a daily basis by people who believe that my lifestyle is immoral.

Quote from Pit Stains

Proletaria is just infatuated with telling people that their beliefs are unfounded.

For all this talk of being needlessly insulting, here we have a useless ad hominem attack. I am not infatuated with telling people their beliefs are unfounded. I am discussing the topic at hand. We all KNOW that belifs have no foundation in fact and evidence, that is part of the definition of the word. We came into this topic with that knowledge already in-hand. When we came to the point of belief, I asked for clarity on the matter. I want to know why those beliefs instead of others. I want to know what makes certain beliefs appealing and others not. I don't know how you are misconstruing that as some kind of pleasure-inducing exercise, but I assure you that I do this for no such purpose. I want to know why people think what they think. Not because it makes me feel good, but because it helps me understand the world I live in.

Quote from Pit Stains

If you add up all my posts in this thread, it would come out to a 3 page essay; in which I clearly state why I believe God exists. My reasons, to Proletaria, are not good enough, which I why I stopped responding to him. Ok, so my beliefs are "unfounded" in his eyes, but they are not in mine. Who's right? I say I am, he says he is. It's a waste of time arguing over the unprovable and unexplainable existence of God with someone that is so close minded.

You stated you believe that god exists. I asked you why you held that belief and not another. You said, because you can choose what to believe in. I granted you that, and continued to ask why that particular belief. I never once said you were wrong. I never once made an assertion of certainty. I repeated time and again that I did not make any such assertion of god or no god. If you do not want to continue our conversation, that is fine, but please do not heap any such insulting title on me as "closed mineded," when I have done nothing to earn that title.

Quote from Pit Stains

If you want to control, dictate, or oversee what people believe, go to China or some other communist country. But I live in America where people are able to believe whatever they want, God or fairies, without persecution. Is America "persecution-less" -- no, but the majority of the population accepts the differences of people. I don't believe in fairies, but I don't see the need to disparage others that do. Get over yourself and realize that other peoples beliefs shouldn't effect you, regardless of how "unfounded" or absurd those beliefs are.

I like America just fine, thank you very much. I know that you can and respect that you do believe in whatever you want. I have in no way persecuted you for your beliefs in this thread unless you consider asking the simple question "why," to be an act of persecution. Stop hurdling needless ad hominem insults at me because you cannot bring yourself to continue our conversation.

I'm effected on a daily basis by people who believe that my lifestyle is immoral.

You choose to be effected. You say you are gay, how does someone's belief stop you from loving someone of the same sex? They don't, unless you let them. Those people are wrong to pass judgement, but it ultimately falls on you to decide to be insulted by their beliefs.

I want to know why those beliefs instead of others. I want to know what makes certain beliefs appealing and others not. I don't know how you are misconstruing that as some kind of pleasure-inducing exercise, but I assure you that I do this for no such purpose. I want to know why people think what they think. Not because it makes me feel good, but because it helps me understand the world I live in.

I gave you a handful of reasons (beyond "because I want to") why I believe in a God, for example:

There is history, witnesses, unexplained miracles that all point to a God (that I choose to believe is true)
and:

I see God in the wind that blows through trees, the sounds of nature, the taste of peanut M&M's (yummm), the peace I get when I pray...
In which you said they were all unfounded because none of it is real "evidence" or "proof" - even though we had already come to an agreement there is no "evidence" or "proof." You belittle my reasons for belief, simply because there is no proof. You are attacking, insulting, and persecuting my beliefs; and everyone that has kindly tried to answer your "why" question.

I want to know why people think what they think. Not because it makes me feel good, but because it helps me understand the world I live in.
I have told you various times now why. You are too close minded to see my, and other's, perspective, so this is a complete waste of time.

We are trying to explain the impossible.

When it comes down to answering your "why" question, the only thing can say without evidence or proof is: I want to believe. I want to believe the Bible is true. I want to believe my God is real.

Why God over faries? I don't care or want to believe the "fairy-tale's" (no pun intended) of fairies. I do want to believe the bible, unexplained phenomena, and testimonies are all "evidence" of God. Is it scientific evidence or proof that God exists, of course not. We've already established we can't prove it either way.

So...
I can't prove God is real.
But I believe God exists.
Why? Because I want to.
If that doesn't explain "why" enough for you... sorry.

Quote from Pit Stains

If I believed that faries were real, would that mean that they are real? I can assure you at some point in, not too distant, irish history there were MANY people who strongly believed in faries for many thousands of years. What do you make of that?

If you think they are real, so be it. However, if you think faries are some type of physical, intellectual, tangible creature, it would make it possible to disprove their existence. If you think faries are some type of spiritual, invisible, abstract, conceptual thing; then it's your beliefs and experiences that make them real. That doesn't mean they are real for me.

What do you mean by "so be it?" Does that mean they are real to you or to the universe in general? I never inferred that they were physical, tangible, etc. I asserted them in the same manner you were asserting god. That means they were necessarily non-evident and that they only exist in the same sense that your god does, because I believe that they do.

If my beliefs and experiences do make them real, then they are necessarily real for you, because I live in the same universe you do.

You obviously didn't comprehend my post.

it's your beliefs and experiences that make them real

If I don't have the same beliefs and experiences, then they are not real for me.

If my beliefs and experiences do make them real, then they are necessarily real for you, because I live in the same universe you do.

You can't bring science into something that can't be scientifically explained. I'm not suggesting I believe what I'm about to say is true, but will say in for the sake of argument (sense you are trying to rationalize God and faries and a physical way). What if we each have our own spiritual realm? Then my God and your faries can co-exist without intersecting universes.

I'm not going to attempt to answer you anymore. All you do is shrug off the main point: Because I have the freedom to choose whatever I want to believe.

I have the freedom to dismiss whatever I want, fairy or bigfoot. I have conceded to you over and over there will never be evidence; but you don't need evidence to believe (or dismiss) something. Humans are not single-tracked creatures. We can think and do whatever we want (as long as it doesn't harm anyone else); and people (like you) try to make it wrong to believe without proof. Trust me, I wish I could believe dragons and dark elves were real, I love reading R. A. Salvatore books, but I choose to dismiss them as fantasy.

I believe God is real. Therefor my God is real. End of story.
