My post was in relation to a fair fight, JK-47 left out some pretty major details that made the situation seem a lot worse than I previously thought.

Putting yourself above others with pain shouldnt be anyones agenda. Despite whether or not it is a "fair fight", people should not be fighting just to "be the best". I respect your opinion and am only putting in my two cents but its hard to agree with someone who likes watching pain inflicted on others.

Fighting to survive is different that fighting for pleasure.

You don't understand the concept at all.

Fighting as a matter to prove things...not pleasure. Although fighting for pleasure can actually earn you a career (UFC and the like) and is a great way to get in shape. I'm saying if some kid is talking shit or just being a bitch in general, what better way to deal with it than fighting? If you talk to them about it, they'll still talk shit behind your back regardless of how well you two get along. If they talk shit about you to anyone, all they'll say is "yeah, but he totally kicked your ass."

I don't really support just randomly going up to someone and fighting them (muggings and such)...but actions speak louder than words. Fighting is the best way to solve conflicts and it has been that way since the beginning of time, peace will never exist without force (which wouldn't really be peace...so yeah), it's just how the world is so stop trying to live in a special little dream world where everyone gets along with each other.

The only way peace would ever exist would be in a 1984 situation...the Big Brother government. People will act out unless they are constantly in fear of punishment through death or the like. Even then, there's underground groups/terrorists and revolutionaries. It's just not going to happen, and if/when it ever did, it wouldn't be the happy prosperous peaceful world that people envision it to be.

"the most fit individuals in a population are the ones that are least likely to die of starvation and, therefore, are most likely to pass on their traits to the next generation."
[s]Maybe you dont understand the concept.[/s] Kidding. Humans can make better decisions though, thats my point.

"it's just how the world is so stop trying to live in a special little dream world where everyone gets along with each other."
I respect your opinion, dont bash mine. I believe that humans have the capability of working together for the common good and to increase our way of life. I dont believe fighting or killing is in anyway the solution to a kid talking shit or to solve any conflict for that matter.

noxiousraccoon, you jumped into a conversation you had no place in only to make implications about GTAF's character and criticize him despite his not having enough information. If you respected his opinion, you wouldn't have butted in to make such comments and start this argument.

You seem to deny the fact that that is how the world is. Just because we are capable of making good decisions, doesn't mean everyone does. There will never be a time of no violence between people. Face facts.

All I was stating was that what has said says alot about his character. Did I ever say his decisions made him a bad person? Nope. I respect everyones opinions, which is why I like coming to this site. As a huge community I can hear many different opinions and try to understand how everyone in different parts of the world/United states thinks and acts.

Did I deny how the world works? Nope, by all means I understand how this world works. Did I ever say their will be a time of no violence? Nope, but why not work together to make it that way?

People who think I am stupid enough to accept and pay for counterfiet products...Possibly to a technologically unaware parent or an inbred child the fakeness of the product would not be noticed, but don't try it on me please sir.

I hate not being able to find a good game to buy now, or in the near future. I need a new 360 game to play, damnit.

I think I'll get C&C3 unless anyone suggests something else.

BEEF!!! · Post by **BEEF!!!** » Sun May 06, 2007 10:36 pm

Guitar Hero II mb?
An if you're the type you could try Phantasy Star Universe. I think there is a demo promo thing going on right now that you can get in the marketplace.

Tural · Post by **Tural** » Sun May 06, 2007 10:39 pm

Not a fan of GH, I can not use the guitar to save my life, and it doesn't interest me to use the controller.

PSU didn't interest me when I played the demo, nor on my friend's PC.

My Rant. Nintendo, get the rights to Dead Rising and Throw it on the Wii!

Second Rant.

Please, for the love of all that could be sacred to an Athiest,(a signed copy of the origin of Species, I guess)Enough with the "(Soccer for you Americans)" like we're fucking retarded. It was funny the first 1000 times. WE GET IT! You figured it out! foreign interpretations of common english words scare the shit out of us and confuse the folks on "Are you Smarter than a 5th Grader" but for the rest of us, we get it. Seriously Enough.

Hate GTA games > VC (Lost all replayability after VC, games got very repetitive), have DR.

They loaded a ton of new stuff into IV, and from what I've heard, it's pretty different. The playable map will still be smaller than San Andreas, but no meaningless drives across barren desert or forest. not to mention, it looks beautiful.

Patience Tural-san....

In 9 days time the Halo 3 Beta shall commence

3 weeks of Bliss and carnage shall then ensue..

Than June shall be here, and the Halo 3 Beta come and Gone...

Everyone shall chew on it little, rip the marrow from the bones

July and August , My my don't you realize! This is 2007 you fool with much reason to be merry

This is one awesome year to be a gamer... don't make me rant on the why

Tural, if you're going to get C&C3, get it for PC...or at least download demos for 360 and PC.

Armored Core 4 is a fun game if you're into the mech genre...it's actually very well done compared to other ones.

Geo · Post by **Geo** » Mon May 07, 2007 10:12 am

I hate the way there are no good 360 games released for months, and then all of a sudedn about 8 good games are all released within a period of about 2 weeks, then you can't decide which one(s) to get.

I'm not open minded. Hate GTA games. They killed any enthusiasm I might have had with the release of SA.

I'm looking for a 360 game, not a PC game.

Mech, meh.

We need some good games, damnit.
