I am not against vegetarianism. If you find enjoyment in eating whatever it is you want to eat, then by all means do what pleases you. I do however have a problem with people telling me what/how to eat. I can and will eat a hamburger which came from a cow that has been born and raised in pen and probably hasn't seen an open range. I honestly don't care. I am a Omnivore, I show no mercy to veggie or meat alike, because they are my prey. That is the way I am. So stop with the guilt trips.
Now if only i didn't need a lifetime supply of thyroid medication, the only problem i could see is it becoming a bit lonely so i guess i would have to hope they send women too.
i don't consider it a death-wish at all really, i consider it more of an opportunity to test my limits. if death is a result, then so be it. but if i were to survive until i die of old age, then i would die knowing that i was one tough son of a bitch.
I am pretty sure I am not the only one who looks at it this way.
All it really comes down too is finding a reason to send someone there, cause there will always be someone who will want to go.
I mean even pokemon had enemies in it, and yes you befriended monsters but you also tried to be the best through collecting them all, and the monsters being the highest level possible and such...
my point is that even this innocent game doesn't sound like it fits your standards.
I personally like to play games because they allow me to do the very things that i wouldn't (or get the chance to) do in real life. like steal a car, or kill aliens.
while i love your noble ideals, i just can't see any game without grit (except puzzle games like tetris)
and even if there was a game like that, i am sure the players would end up teaching false knowledge just for sh**'s and giggles, for instance, if i was playing a game you just described, i would see how many people i could convince that gullible was not in the dictionary, and then turn around and tell them that lubricity is a word in the hopes that they will think i am trying to trick them about that as well.
My overall point is this: even if you do manage to create a game without the bad things (violence, lack of cooperation/teamwork, quest for power) then the players will put it in there themselves
I can't count the amount of times i burnt down my Sim's house or didn't let him go to the restroom to see the chaos that ensued
That McCain/Palin don't get elected if you want this kind of research to continue.
no matter who gets elected in the USA, future research won't be effected by this.
Unless said president decides to attack Australia.
Please do more research next time before making off-hand comments about politics.
so obviously my question would be, if i had a seizure, would whatever it is i am controlling have a seizure too?
cause um, that would almost be comical, i would totally watch a pokemon cartoon for that.
