Did you guys hear the news? The worst terrorist attack on the U.S. in recorded history happened two days ago. And you're talking about VIDEO GAMES?
Jesus Christ on a pogostick! You fucking nerds need to learn some PRIORITIES!
Fucking wankers.
I'm excited to see more on this "cartoon-like" zelda stuff I've been hearing for the game cube. I'm going to get a playstation 2, if for nothing else just to use as a DVD player, but I think I'll probably get a gamecube too if the new zelda is as cool as it sounds. Nintendo seems to always come up with the neatest ideas. It doesn't matter which game companies support the game cube, cause the best console games seem to always be made by Nintendo
"Question with boldness even the existence of a god." - Thomas Jefferson
I am a white, Australian atheist. Not Jewish, Christian or American. I feel compelled to write here, to get the message across, that the muslims of our World are far from innocent.
Here in Australia, muslims (esp. Lebanese), have been getting out of hand for the past few years, with gang warfare, thefts, home invasions, vandalism and general terror in the streets against ANYONE who does not appear to share their beliefs of Mohammad. Over a period of about the last year or so, a particular group of Lebanese Muslims, had set up a safe-house, with supplies of condoms. They were systematically abducting non-Muslim girls from Sydney, taking them to this house and pack raping these girls, who have stated that when they asked these Muslim men why they were doing this, the reply was that "because you are Australian". These Lebanese immigrants, perhaps looking for a better life over here, instead of bringing hope for a brighter future, have brought extremely barbaric beliefs and attitudes to our peaceful and once almost utopian society where many different races were welcomed by the people and government of Australia. Australians are on the whole NOT racists, as the World media seems to be purporting in the past, which is proven in the failure of our "One Nation Party" becoming elected into a position of power. "Aussies" "take the piss" (joke about) with others, but most importantly "we take the piss out of ourselves". We have a larakin nature, that should not be mistaken for racism. Although, these girls that were abducted at knife point and pack raped (70 rapes), did not fit the stereotypical "anglo Aussie" image, of the ones I have seen, they appear to be of mediteranean origin, perhaps Italian or Greek. These Muslims don't care for anyone but themselves.
These Muslims in Australia have shot up Sydney police stations with Uzi sub machine guns. They trade in drugs, guns and stolen goods and wish to use force to instill thier beliefs onto us. Muslim students in our schools cheer in the schoolyards at the news of what occured in NYC. We non-Muslim Australians are peacefull! We don't bomb or shoot them, let alone do anything like this because they are Muslim. A friend on mine (Egyptian origin), fled Egypt, because he and his family were Christian. He was told, become Muslim, or die. Look at what the Taliban did to the peacefull Budhists and thier shrines in Afganistan! Anyone remember the mass killings of a bus load of Greeks in Egypt? Killed because they are most likely Orthodox and not Muslim.THIS IS NOT A WAR AGAINST THE US CAPATILISTS, THIS IS A WAR AGAINST ALL NON-MUSLIMS. If anyone thinks, for one moment, that Israel is not justified in thier war against Palestine, they are simply either ignorant of the facts or are Muslim. I've seen Muslim mothers loudly state, "I want my son to die! For Allah!". These weak bastards follow the tradition of brainwashing this mental disease called Islam, into thier sons, who they then send in to attack and fight on front lines against Israel, and then some morons of the World look on Israel in shame for having to "kill children". You think Israel has a choice?
Here is a little bit of history for you to chew on.
In the 7th century, a merchant by the name of Mohammed preached that, "There is no god but Allah.", which brought him conflict with the citizens of Mecca. In 622 he left to live in Medina, which is when the Arab world starts its calendar. The word "Islam" means "submission". Mohammed taught that Christians and Jews where "people of the book" and that they and thier religion should be treated with respect, but would have to accept Muslim rule, but not be persecuted or converted by force. Persia fell to the united Arabs and Byzantium was pushed back. Jerusalem fell in 638. It looked like Constantinople would fall in 717 but the Arab armies were driven back from the city walls. At this stage the Arabs controlled the Near East, North Africa and the whole of Spain. They were even crossing the Pyrenees, going into the plains of Europe, where they found the cold weather too hard to bear. They carried the beliefs of Islam with them throughout this, Christianity disappeared from North Africa. In 750, the rulers of Islam moved the capital to Baghdad. In the 11th century, for 300 years, Arab civilization would be subjected to assaults by Christians from Europe and nomads from Asia, who were much more threatening, and brought the days of Near Eastern civilization to an end.
They, are far from innocent. And seeing what they are willing to do to completely innocent men, woman and children of other civilizations, I beleive that the time has come, to erradicate completely, the Muslims of our World. Now we should turn the books on them, instruct them to burn their Korans and give up their faith, or suffer absolute genocide. I am feel sorrow for their innocent children, but if the question is their children or ours, then the choice should be obvious.
I, as an innocent victim in my own land, am willing to carry out mass murder of these animals and support the US and our allies. The time has come to rid the World of this cancer, I hope for a nuclear retribution against this evil.
Did you guys hear the news? The worst terrorist attack on the U.S. in recorded history happened two days ago. And you're trolling and flaming at people talking about VIDEO GAMES?
Jesus Christ on a pogostick! You, fucking nerd, need to learn some PRIORITIES!
Fucking wanker.
Anyone know (or can estimate) the us retail price?

someone mod this offtopic. He can go rant on the WTC threads.
Fuck em
You FUCKING PRICK! You know damn well why people put spam-blockers in their email addresses. What the hell do you think that has to do with recent events in the US?
You're probably a no-good spammer yourself!
(smarmy voice) 'oooh! RFC822! Must do my civic duty!'. Bet you're a barrel of laughs at social occasions! Oh, sorry, you probably don't understand what a social occasion is. Some people (yes, even on slashdot!) have 'social lives'. I'd be surprised if you ever got invited anywhere! Do you snitch report your friends for smoking pot as well? Hmmmn?
So now are you going to start cursing Bill Gates' name because his company produced the flight simulator software that the terrorists may have used?
Come on. You know better than that.
Ever notice how when something like this happens all the idiots make an appearance?
First, Let me make it clear: I abhor violence of all types. I feel state-backed violence is an afront to humanity - ALL violence from the smallest to the most 'justified' in all forms only re-enforces a future of violence...
... do you seriously know what it is even like to go through this now as a US citizen?

Screw you for calling me a "Fucking wanker"
The rest of the world has experiencd a great deal of war. WWI, WWII, Korea, Vietnam, Panama, Cuba, Guatemala, Columbia, Afghanistan, Bosnia, Ethiopia, Yugoslavia, Haiti, East Timor, Laos and many many more states have had domestic armed-conflict with the support/direct involvment of the USofA. There is no modern state without blood on its hands, these acts are terrible under ANY circumstances and should not be tolerated - not in retaliation to this event and not again, ever in future. If you Yanks run off wildly you'll be no better than the morons who justify these actions in any regard. Please see: http://www.humboldt1.com/~016910/ChronologyofTerr
We're talking about going to war with something that can not been seen ot touched. Exactly - violence begets violence. You cannot fight your way out of this, simply dealing with the reality of the world, its problems, our goals in the shadow of this tradgedy MIGHT be an opportunity for all of us (the whole of humanity) to set the course of this planet right again.
Attacking ANYBODY will only prove that these acts, at some level - from the perspective of the people committing them - are justified... you DO know that to the people who did this, as ill as it was, felt that THEY were also justified.... both the USofAmerica and whoever they might wish to attack would be terribly wrong.
But make no mistake, it may be hard to swallow as an America - AND THIS DOES NOT JUSTIFY OR CONDONE THIS ACT - but American Foreign policy is not blamless or banign... you do reap what you sow... to think otherwise is flately ignorant and nieve.
Hey thanks, I was a bit pissed by that too.
Not that it really matters (the moderation), but it's the thought that counts.
I also posted something about nostradamus (or however you spell his name) shortly after one of the stories was posted. It went all the way up to +5, Interesting and then once prooved to be false, modded all the way down to -1, Flamebait.
It's not like I invented the rumour. I could understand "Offtopic" or "Overrated", but "Troll" and "Flamebait"? Seriously...
Due to the insane number of posts (more than 8000 on the crisis alone) I would assume that the amount of moderator points distributed is proportional to the number of posts (even I had mod prividges yesterday) and thus a lot of 37337 h4x0r5 l4m3r5 got mod points and went crazy.
If God gave us curiosity
