After looking carefully at the image in front of her eyes, Shepard shook her head. "It looks like there's already a crater on this side of the moon, Relan. Take us to the other side and let's see if we can find an unspoiled portion of the surface. I want to have a very precise idea of the power of the cannon."

Omega Chronicles -3- Open Wounds
Shepard woke up with a jerk and it took her brain a couple of seconds to remember where she was and what she was doing there. As her eyes darted around the small, dark room she spotted the familiar shape of Aria sitting on the couch, a padd in her hands, a concentrated look on her face. The human imagined that Aria kept a change of clothes in here, since she was perfectly dressed

What the Hell were we thinking going after the Reapers? What made us think we would be able to stop them when countless civilizations before ours fell?
Before London, I found myself thinking this more and more. But… then I also started thinking of everything we've accomplished. When Saren turned his back on the Council, they just couldn't see it. They just couldn't believe that one of their own would turn against them. I'd call

A thunderous, reverberating beating sounded, filling his hearing and drowning all senses besides. The sound was rhythmic and held a constant pattern: two beats, pause, two beats again. Other than the drumming, all sound was mute; all feeling an empty void. The sound was his own heart, but other than its motions of life, he felt nothing; no pain nor emotion, or sense of the world.
Light stung his eyes as he tried to open them, succeeding barely to open his lids a millimeter before closing them once more against the light. But it was enough to begin reestabl

Da fliegen die Leichen,
In Feuer getaufter
verteufelter Frauen.
Im Heimspiel der Ängste
Vergötterter Flüche,
Beschenkt man die Engel
Mit purer Gewalt.
Unter den Menschen
Da knistert Vergessen
Und anpassungssatte
Vergangene Gründe.
Sie werden nicht zaudern,
Den Hass zu erneuern,
Um das zu beschützen,
Was niemand bedroht.
Zwischen den Seelen
Da scheitert der Wahnsinn
Aus Flügel und Asche
An mangelnden Grauen.
Sie werden nicht fackeln,
Das Scheitern zu häufen,
Um jeden zu opfern
Der Gleiches benennt.

morality without God"Without God, everything is permissible."morality without God6 months ago in Philosophical More Like This
It is unknown who originated the quote above, but it is pretty clear that it was not an atheist. Many religious people, from the most intolerant to some of the more tolerant ones, find it easier to relate to those of other religions than those who have no religion at all. Some of this may be because of encounters with the fervently anti-religious, but much of it is simply bigotry. Those who use the above quote are not simply stating that God is the basis of morality; they are implying that atheists cannot be trusted because of this. In the nineteenth century, much of the United States banned atheists

Als der Leuchtturm Nebel warf;
Der Tag war schlicht, die Angst war schlichter
Und der Dunst begrenzte scharf.
Von allem und uns selbst verlassen
Geh`n wir einsam, Hand in Hand,
Von über Nacht ergrauten Massen
Bis zum weiß betäubten Strand.
Vor allem von mir selbst verlassen,
Weil die Hülle Hölle heißt,
Kann ich den schwarzen Hund nicht fassen,
Der in meine Verse beißt:
Der schwarze Hund der Depression,
Er liebt uns, denn wer liebt uns schon?

"So," Kelly said as she sat at the office table in one of the backrooms of Camp McCarran "how combat ready do you feel they are?" The question was directed at Boone who sat across from her. Veronica sat to her left and Arcade was at the end of the table. "About half of them are at an acceptable level. They can shot strait and have an understanding of basic tactics. Most of them are the recruits from Westside. The rest are mostly druggies that should be going though detox at the Mormon Fort." Boone said after a moment of thought.

"Muggy; get over here!" Kelly shouted from her small desk in her Sink bedroom. She had been at the Sink for thirty minutes; most of that time had been spent trying to find a few spare holodisks for her little test she had prepared. Now she was ready. Her robotic brain sat in front of her on the desk, a cable ran from the back of it to the back of the computer terminal. From there another cable ran to a small scanner she had put together a couple weeks ago.
Sitting in said scanner was the Platinum Chip; the small chip that had caused so much bloodshed across the Mojave. Muggy rolled up muttering something abo

Weiß und schneidend wie Papier;
Da ich nicht zum töten tauge,
Nehme ich den Tod von dir.
Gib mir doch auch deine Hände,
Viel zu viel war nie genug;
Deine stillen Angstzustände
Nehme ich mir Zug um Zug.
Atemzüge voller Leere
Fülle ich mit deinem Duft,
In der Hand ruht eine Schere
Lungenflügel brauchen Luft...
Weil ich dich liebe, weil ich dich begehre,
darf es niemals enden.
Weil mir nichts bliebe, bis auf diese Schere,
scharf in meinen Händen.
Rück´ die Kleidung wieder gerade.
Augen trinken sanften Schein.
Heute wird die Maskerade,
Starr wie all

To her right, she could hear some quiet whimpering....it was then that she remembered exactly where she was and what had happened. She looked and saw two girls about her age, both tied tightly to chairs and both of them with tape across their lips. She recognized one of the girls, Miyumi, right away.

Democratic socialists believe that both the economy and society should be run democratically—to meet public needs, not to make profits for a few. To achieve a more just society, many structures of our government and economy must be radically transformed through greater economic and social democracy so that ordinary Americans can participate in the many decisions that affect our lives. Democracy and socialism go hand in hand. All over the world, wherever the idea of democracy has taken root, the vision of socialism has taken root as well—everywhere but in the United States. Because of this, many false ideas about socialism

Let the moon light the sky
may the lillies catch the wind
and time pass on by
May the smoke arise
Where only birds comes near
underneath lies the river
Stretched out
so beautiful and clear
And so fell the snow
Leaving grass and wind
So cold
Where the river was
the ice's spirit has it's hold
As the sun it fades
the tree losses it's crown
and towards the frozen shores
the darkness brings me down
Only the heart finds joy
If your soul search peace
The sun will shine on through
happiness be your release

His flashlight cut through the darkness, illuminating water-stained walls and the occasional fungus growing from the floor. He stopped as he noticed the spores rising from the fungus. He muttered darkly as he pulled out a gas mask and placed it over his face, pulling the straps into position to secure the mask to his face. He then resumed his trek down the cramped access way.Metro 2033: Tunnel Sickness1 year ago in Short Stories More Like This

From the emperor great to the leigonaries small,
For her freedom she fights the Romans,
Nothing can stop her from slaying her foemen.
Of noble and strong stuff she is made,
When her name is spoken I'm never afraid.
Her hair is of fire, and her eyes glow like jewels,
But she is a dog to those Roman fools.
Yes, the Romans think she's a dog that can't bite,
But Boudicca proves to them they're not right.
For just as nothing can darken the star,
Nothing defies Queen Boudicca.
