The Red Team Wins
Voltageaav writes "Recent studies indicate that in both First Person Shooters and even athletic competitions, wearing red gives you an advantage. It's speculated that this distracts the other team slightly due to the psychological aspect of people turning red when angry." Of course the Blue Team loses — as evidence I submit the history of the Detroit Lions.
They're right, however, I mean look... the Fabian Socialists have implemented Communism the way the Reds never could dream of. I mean damn, look at the USA, its a communist or semi communist oligarchy, little different than the USSR. Government controls and owns all, if you disagree, try not paying "ye pithy taxes" and see how quickly the ninja masked thugs descent upon your home.
Granted, most Americans today are fat, lazy and slow. (A trait I shared with my fellows for some time before cleaning up my diet and my attitude.) They worship the victim, without realizing that oftentimes, the victim DESERVES what it gets. Almost like the fish thing... "those poor fishies, being tricked by evil anglers"... nobody stops to think "good for evolution, that fish was stupid enough to go for an EARTHWORM that was miraculously swimming in the middle of a LAKE?? Good thing that stupid fish never got to breed, IMHO."
Which tells me only one thing... no matter who wins in what game... the Reds or Blue team or Green team... the ultimate winner is the guy who made and sold the game. He gets rewarded by feeling good and making a bundle. Same thing in real life.

You disagree then, that the only winners are the guys actually selling the game the Reds and the others play?
If I were to call to notice the real winners of every world war, of every major upheaval or conflict, it would be those who financed it, not those who played to "beat the other team". If I were to choose the winning side in any conflict, I would become a banker or marry into a banking family, not go fight for some army. Fighting for armies or on teams is a feel good thing. There are no real winnings, no real victories to be had. Short of running the world's money supply and scamming the stupid and gullible out of their life savings, there is really no other 'winning side' since all other sides work for the money men as well.
Do I call them evil? Nope. Brilliant? Yes. Do I admire brilliance when I see it? Yes. Regardless of the evils they inflict, it isn't as if they FORCED the worm and hook down the fish's throat. Stupid little fishy grabbed the bait of its own free will.
