I had a lot higher than their minimum system requirements, but I got
rejected because of my NVIDIA Riva TNT2 Pro Card (Which is almost as good as
the GeForce3) and their minimum is NVIDIA GeForce... It's by the same damned
company and I still got rejected... the card is as good as or better than
the minimum of a GeForce card (Any... GeForce1,2,3 or 4...). Looky here:

I find the same problem, Spanish is easy until you start getting into
past tense, future tense, and there seem to be a bit more irregular words in
spanish than their are in English O.O

entirely accurate. First off, how hard or easy a language is to learn is
very subjective. Second off, although English is probably one of the
hardest languages to master it also tends to be an easy language to learn
rudimentary usage of. Also, if you ask people who have learned both French
and English you'll probably find that most of them think French is harder to
learn regardless of which one they learned first, and yet French is a
beautiful expressive language. Spanish is quite simple to get started in,
but like English it is difficult to master... but for entirely different
reasons.

that Esperanto has it's share of complications also such as using letters
that aren't on most keyboards and having the ability to frequently find
alternative meanings in words with larger root words by breaking the root
into a smallet root and one or more affixes, but those alternative meanings
are almost always either so obscure they will probably never be used, or so
far from the first meaning as to make confusion in context nearly
impossible. The Esperanto language is written and spoken in almost every
country on Earth and is capable of expressing the same subtle differences in
meaning that can be achieved in almost any human language. In comparison,
most human languages are very poor at representing the exact meanings that
can be expressed in most other human languages. Esperanto phonetics are
simple and consistant, and the only spelling ambiguite is that the sound of
the letter "c" in Esperanto can also be spelled "ts" which is not all that
bad when you compare with how many sounds can be spelled several different
ways in most languages.

inherently easy. It's just widespread right now. Not as wide spread as
Esperanto. Not spoken by as many people as Mandarin Chinese. Not written
by anywhere near as many people as standardized Chinese. Not really special
at all except to those who use it and pretty much the same can probably be
said for any human language whether spoken, written, signed, or otherwise.

Well yeah, I do think so.. the only words in English that really are
confusing are two, to, too, there, their, weather,whether,vane,vain, weather
to use who or whom in a sentence, and not too many more. In spanish there's
like a page of irregular verbs heh

But then again, I guess can't truly compare English to any other
Language, because my guess is learning any other language would be hard..
This is my last post for this thread heheh (unless someone makes a comment

Just wanted to inform everyone that there is a building contest going on
in a very new universe called Peace City. The winner of the building contest
will get $500 worth of money. (In your currency if you live outside of the
US). Also, just to let you know, real celebrities will show up once in a
while to talk to the people of Peacecity. For more info and to download the
browser check out http://www.peacecity1.com/3dhelp/

Speaking of which I have a question that you might be able to answer o.O
Since it's the year of the sheep does that mean the year is going to be a

Stupid random fact... only 10 generations of human life have ever known
a time with complete peace. This leads us back to about 2000 BC so we've
spent about all the time up until 2000BC with at least one country at war
;P. Rome, Greece, Egypt so-on even had wars (obviously you know this if you
studied ancient cultures) 2000BC is about when humans first came around
hehe. Just felt like giving some random information :)

Yup, I think that as long as you're not saying one religion is better than
another then it's not a problem, if you're just talking about maybe
differences and similarities or something to that extent. I DO think that
it's NOT ok if one person is calling another one offending names about their
religion. I also agree that debates should not be allowed at the gate. The
gate is a place to be friendly and chat and *enter* Activeworlds in a *nice*
place. If new people (first time users) come into the gate and see everyone
arguing 24/7 they'll get a bit disgusted by the people of AW and think we're
all bad. If you want to have a huge heated debate, do it somewhere where
there aren't a lot of people around... possibly only people you invite or
who actually want to listen to them argue. Is AWDebate tourist enabled?
