hasn't this sort of thing been around in the form of 900 numbers for about 20 years?
and here i thought it would be a neat write-up about the roles of 'coaches' in big name gaming clans.
the local lowe's uses linux. i'm curious as to why people who support linux and 'free information' type ideas are so happy to have big time corporations taking advantage of the free software? i can't imagine lowe's being a big participant in sourceforge, or any other free software movement. isn't use versus participation a big deal? simply having a humongous stale userbase only has so many benefits.
maybe if everybody in the united states were tethered to their computer by a fuse that when triggered destroys their face. people will actually buy into this, and that makes me a sad panda.
'That's right. Killing people is wrong. Talking about killing people, not so wrong.'
like how pedophilia video games should be perfectly acceptable in modern society.
'Don't you support the criminalization of computer entertainment?'
what? i don't even know what you're talking about.
'What makes you think I am a) over 18 or b) mentally competent in a way similar to that of an adult? Aren't you granting an egregious assumption in my favor?'
a huh? i'm not granting anything in your favor, i just repeated what you said in different words. you're arguing with yourself?!
'If you're going to act like a fascist, you might as well go all out. You might as well assume that EVERYONE requires your protection from those demon video games.'
i really have no idea what you're talking about. fascism? i made an offhanded comment about how it's possible all sorts of forms of speech can be regulated by the greed of rich assholes with a purely self-involved agenda. i didn't say i want games to be censored, i didn't say i want games to stop being developed. you keep nagging me about making assumptions, but so far everything you're arguing with me about has nothing to do with what i said.
'Do you really think that the inherent badness of murder dissuades anyone from committing it?'
what? i think you've completely missed my point and are now arguing with my sarcastic exaggerations that were originally meant to just make fun of how dumb you are. that's pretty funny.
'And my comment had to do with not standing idly as crazy lunatics compare video game developers to drug pushers!'
is the comparison in any way unfair?
'Difference: Murder IS a bad a thing. Video game fragging is NOT a bad thing. How can I say this? Because I can distinguish between fantasy and reality, unluck some radical screwballs on a moral crusade in this country.'
oh right, murder is a bad thing, glorifying murder not so bad. and since you can distinguish reality from fantasy everybody else can. just like how since you can distinguish the inherent badness of murder everybody else can. that's why nobody is ever murdered. i get it, though. you just needed somebody to use the right words, in whatever combination, to let you inform the world of just how perceptive you are to the subtle nuances of the universe.
'I think that's why the phrase "STFU" was invented. I should use it now.'
well?
'Democratic people hold their governments accountable. Inhuman beings don't have thoughts and feelings. We are at the point where every sentence you write appears to be totally wrong, so I think I should ignore you now.'
one can only wish.
'Don't be a smartass. You know that I was comparing your statement to those made by others who excuse the actions of parents and instead blame the industry--as you have done.'
my statement had nothing to do with parents or industries or your feelings about the ramifications of chess tournaments pitting humans against robots. my comment had to do with me recognizing a potential hazard of this sort of action, and the silliness of people getting upright about the assholes leeching money from the pockets of kids by tossing them candy in the form of violence. i don't know what responsibility parents have to their children, especially in a society of rights, and i'm not going to pretend that getting into an argument with you about it would be fun. take the comment for what it was worth, stop sticking words into my mouth to fuel your soapboxey firy.
'Growing minds?? What the fuck? I don't know what's wrong with you, honkey, but this uppity nigger sure as hell is pissed off!'
growing minds, you know, teenage kids who play video games and soak in the things expressed in them.
