Just think how much Blizzard have to pay for the bandwith and server maintenance. That's why theres a fee for most MMORPG's. Unlike FPS games where normally an isp will host the servers.

Now back on topic.

I can't stand people who block me while I'm shopping. Especially the ones that just stand there in the middle of the aisle looking at stuff.

Gwil, you have no clue how my childhood was and insinuating that
yours was somehow worse than mine is not only insulting its... Well, it
has no baring here in an open forum.
Whatever your problem was tonight, I don't want to be in the middle
of it. You are about an inch away from my saying what I really think
about your childhood. But, since I really don't know much more about
it, than you do mine it will just end up a stupid pissing contest.

Try to imagine everything you can that a child can suffer and you will only have scratched the surface of my young life.

My advice, unless you really want me to tell you what I had to
endure, do not try to compare our childhoods. Its a contest where we
both will lose something.

Its also a price I would be willing to pay. Can you say the same.
That isn't what I was doing you fool. I'm objecting to your blinkered
stance which assumes you are always right and always morally superior
or more worthy than people you attack or bait for no apparent reason
thread after thread.

I'm tired of it, quite frankly.

</DIV></DIV>

Now, In one respect I can see what you're driving at. In another, I cannot see how it relates to this thread. No body, not even I have claimed that anyones life, or age has granted them a wisdom beyond their years. I have seen, and do see minds that are so clouded with their own youth that they see enemies on every front. You included. Lets not even mention how tired we are of that. You are not a shining pillar of adulthood by any definition.

I asked you to re-read my post. The one you claimed was somehow re-written and remove the angriness from it. If you had done that you would have noted my genuine curiosity in the human growth pattern. I have had innumerable incidents with people, if not as touchy as you, at least close who always come up to me at one time or another and say that at least one discussion we had stuck in their minds. That topic either turned out the way I said it would or something similar enough that they were aware of it and felt the need to tell me so. Not every discussion was horrible, and not every prediction turned out so you see my curiosity.

Life has its differences, but some of life's experiences will remain constant and those are the ones I am curious about. Just because some of you are still in school doesn't mean that I am not willing to learn from an experiment once in a while. That post was mine and you have nearly ruined it because no one seems willing to answer. That could mean that no one has an answer or no one has one yet.

In fact, if either of us two should be insulted and/or mad right now it should be me after you twice wronged me in the same thread, and now after hours you are still compounding it by being unwilling to notice how and where.

The only thing I feel after the hours is sorrow and a bit of pity because you have create a gulf that I doubt can be filled now. Yeah, we will remain friends but your quickness to see evil where none lies is a thing I cannot deal with. True friends see things less harsh first. You have issues that I do not ever want to know about because quite frankly, whatever they are, they pale to what I dealt with at your age and I evidentially handled it better than you are doing now. Life molds us into what we will eventually become. My mold is a strange one but it is at least complet. The shape is not important. The wholeness is. You mold? Its best if you figure that one out.

Now, go back and re-read it once more and remove all the accusatory replies and see if it wasn't nothing more than me asking everyone if anyone recalls a time when we talked about some future event that may have come true.

If you continue this angry path, you continue it alone because I am only interested in my question, not yours.

The best things in life, aren't things.

See.. I am wrong, I should remove my replies etc.

Forget it. You're never going to see it.

As for saying I shouldn't compare experiences or assume things - you raging hypocrite!
You have issues that I do not ever want to know about because quite
frankly, whatever they are, they pale to what I dealt with at your age
and I evidentially handled it better than you are doing now.
As for this childhood thing you have - I was never insinuating that. I
am making an example of your constant and unwavering belief that you
are right, others must be wrong, and youth particularly have opinions
that are invalid because they haven't lived the times that you have.
This trait of yours manifests in debates, technical questions,
opinions, PM's. I can dig up thousands of examples if you wish me too,
because I would only be too happy to demonstrate once and for all how
your holier than thou attitude causes problems almost every day of the
week.

Not seeing, that seems our only commonality right now.

Enough then. If you are still seeing anger, and I am blind then we have run our courses.

What ticks me off are people like Paris Hilton and Kevin Federline.

They do nothing and are only a burden on society. They have s**tloads of money for sitting around and partying all day. They have no respect for anyone else and have a huge ego. They think they are the idol of culture and have tons of mindless fans who would worship their turds if they could.

Do you realize that you almost described a human killbox? :lol:

To carry this thought of yours one step further. I absolutely despise rich folk/kids who cry about how bad they have it. I would be curious to see if the suicide rate of rich people is higher than poor. This would include, inadvertent suicide such as alcoholism and drug overdoses. Just because your liver takes years to deteriorate enough to kill you, doesn't omit you as a suicide. If you consider, you know you are doing it with each swallow.

Rich people make me woozy. Many make me want to hurt them.

Anyway, its a pet peeve of mine and would take hours to explain properly, and more than likely, piss off a few of our more... whiny members to boot.

I can see why you would be annoyed at rich people who cry about having had it hard (though to be fair, being rich doesn't exclude you from problems), but to dislike a person solely because they are rich would be as ridiculous as disliking somebody just because they are poor.

I re-read what I posted, and thats not what I said. If I gave you the impression "ALL".. Scratch that, cause thats not my intention. I have friends who are well off and they are fine. I have no truly rich friends so I cannot claim to know them at all.

Poor, I am poor and I complain incessantly about my station in life. I do not cry about my situation as if the end of the world is near but, sometimes I wonder what I did in a previous life to warrant the cards I've been dealt.

Money cannot truly buy happiness though. I am happy more than not, and it doesn't cost me a dime. :smile:

Gwil, how long have we been friends? Of that time, how long have we been good friends?

I am commenting on your commenting. I am not commenting in an antagonistic fashion.

I am just marking time until we can be civil again.

Read it again, it was meant in all seriousness, not as a personally affront. I know many miserable people and was continuing my thinking from an earlier post. I quoted you but it was only for the first half of my post. The second was about rich folks. Perhaps I should have put more of a space between the comments.

My bad.

It has its drawbacks. Sometimes we are zoned in and later when I say "I'd like to see that movie" She claims we already had. I can never convince her that I hadn't seen it yet.

Somehow, we zone in so well that its hard to separate on some future date, when we were alone, and when we were together.

If only it would work when she's trying in vain to achieve an or**sm. If women thought like men, they'd be having them in succession. :dodgy:

I'm not having lady-problems, but like anyone who has ever dealt with our logic-impaired, emotionally amped-up counterparts, i HAVE had the problems before. As it is, I have not been on an official "date" for about 9 months or so, and I have not had a GF for about 1.25 years. I'm perfectly happy with that. The religious community i've recently become a part of is a Russian church. Some of the members of which are Hot Russian Ladies, which I have in my "I like" list in the other thread.

People with elitist views on music who somehow think that by liking Pink Floyd, Radiohead, The Beatles, Hendrix, or any other "proper" bands it makes them some sort of authority. I don't care if somebody doesn't like what I listen to, but when people make out that I'm some sort of idiot or somehow "unrefined" for doing so, it gets on my nerves.

So I listen to some emo bands and emo is the current "cool thing to hate" - get the f**k over it already and stop throwing the term around like you know all about it. Disassociate the music from the "scene" if you truly do dislike that; don't condemn it when chances are you can only name 2 or 3 bands in the genre and have only heard the same amount of songs. It's no better than the lame blaming of computer games for all of our youth's problems, and it f**king sickens me to see so many people jump on the hate bandwagon so readily. Don't judge a music genre you've heard little of just because you like laughing at people's myspace blogs.

So I don't have a clue what the Japanese bands I like are singing about - why do I have to in order to enjoy it? I enjoy some witty or powerful lyrics as much as the next man but it's far from the only worth to be gleamed from music. And no, I'm not a pathetic anime fanbody or "wapanese", I just happen to enjoy music that, to be honest, is quite unlike most things you find in the West.

So I listen to the mainstream end of the punk/pop/rock scene like Yellowcard, Fall Out Boy and Motion City Soundtrack - why does gaining in popularity strip you of musical credibility, or at least until the point at which you become "legendary" and are suddenly okay to like again? Like the music for the music itself, not because it makes you some cool "underground" type. The entire "selling out" excuse for condemning bands you used to love, even when their sound has often matured more than outright changed, just makes you look like a fickle scenester rather than somebody who ever actually enjoyed the music.

Can't people realise that musical taste is subjective? By all means dislike music if you don't like it, but drop this "holier than thou" attitude and elitism that seems so god damn rife. And too many people need to stop closing their mind to other musical genres, which is something I did for far too long. I claimed to hate hip-hop/rap for years but you know what, there is a fair bit of it that is actually good. Don't hate something before you have heard it just because it sits in a genre you have marked as "hated"; listen to it, take it in, and don't let your preconceptions rule your opinion.

One time, we ran out of Lucky Charms brand cereal, and I didn't
have the magically delicious taste for like a WEEK. I don't know what
all of you are so worried about.
Fatstrings, you good-grades, non-hunting queer: I like Bush, and
you're getting a lecture when you get to class tomorrow. And there's
nothing wrongwith telling someone they are ging to hell, because most
ppl ARE these days. Sorry.
let's see in the bible it says do not judge, thats God's job, so you do
not have the right to tell people they're going to hell because that
qualifies you to go to hell because you just judged them

and no, emo is not goth punk, goth punk is much worse and every goth
punk band seems to sound like good charlotte and look like them too

It's not judging to tell that someone is going to hell. Judging is telling them they are a bad person. And you don't have to be a bad person to go to hell.

If i say "You're going to prison." that's not judging you is it? it's stating a simple fact that the entity that is YOu is going to switch from being HERE to being in prison some time in the future. That'd be GOD'S judgement and I'd just be repeating it, if in fact you WERE going to hell, which i dont think you are.
Likewise, if i were to say "You are a terrible person and you deserve to go to hell." THAT would be judging you because I used my opinion to dictate where the entity that is YOU will be in the future.

  • People who don't know what they are talking about

Yeah, seriously, screw those TV schedulers. For some mad reason they just decide to take a week off of showing the proper episodes, to show the original pilots. Why? You're half way through season two and you stop the flow to show the start of season one? It's almost as annoying as when they decided to jump back three episodes for no apparent reason, or when they decided to stop showing Prison Break for 4 months in the middle of the season.

I avoid all that tomfoolery by waiting patiently for the seasons to

Blink-182, Green Day, people who think that if they listen to the previous two bands that they are "h4rdc0r3 punkz!!1", Coldplay (except for Don't Panic), inaccurate comparisons from some fledgling, suck-ass band to an established, kick-ass band, liberals telling me I'm uninformed or stupid for not agreeing with everything they say, conservatives telling me I'm going to hell in a handbasket for not accepting Jesus Christ as my personal lord and saviour, fat people who assume that everyone with a blazing fast metabolism is entirely happy with it, atheists, bitch ex-gfs who expect you to stay friends with them, people who think that smoking pot twice in 4 months makes you a pothead, death metal, really quiet and boring folk tunes, big spiders, fast spiders, STDs, nuclear weapons, Orlando Bloom and other similarly feminine "actors" that girls go ga-ga over, high expectations, people who say you're smarter than them but still think they're right about everything, the word "whilst," heroin, credit union debit cards not working as debit cards, people who whine about their lives and then don't like songs that are whining about the same things because they're too whiny, vegans, PETA, people who get worked up over the most trivial of things, and American Eagle cigarettes.

Edit - I almost forgot: Steven Spielberg and all his movies, except the Indy Jones trilogy.

I think the thing about Steven Spielberg is that his style has been copied so many times in so many movies that now when we see his movies it looks like a cliche even though it was origional at the time it was made.

Stuff that is designed with defects, stuff that can't be fixed, Nokia
accessories, deliberately underpowered vehicles, things that are

Bands/artists that make music "for the people", bands/artists that
allow record companies to dictate their style, movies designed to be
summer/winter blockbusters, movies with unnecessary action, movies
themed around explosions, movies designed to be throw-away, movies
designed for awards.

Books that attempt philosophy unnecessarily, books that try and use
major political issues to sell more, books designed to sell more, tom
clancy novels, clive cussler novels, books that fail at humour, books
printed on s**tty thin paper, librarians who don't let you browse,
libraries that don't get new books, libraries that let people corner
books for months on end.

  • Cliques
  • Stupid girls who punch the crap out of you then tell you "Don't be hateful."
  • the word "hateful"
  • when someone knows EXACTLY what you are talking about and still chooses to roll thier eyes and say "whatever, dude..." so they look cool for other people and they leave u looking like a stooge.
  • Professors who spell and pronounce words wrong publicly, when the words pertain to the subject they teach. like my Algebra teacher who called a matrix a "Matrice" pronounced "matri-see"
  • MMORPGs - you buy the game, then you have to pay to play the game. WTH?
  • People who diss me for not eating pork.
Youve got a lot of valid points. The only thing I think you need to experience first before "hating" is the MMORPGS. Sure you have to pay to play, but those games are well worth the money. As well as the support, and constant updates that the producers provide. Maybe its just outside of Blizzard that MMORPGS suck to pay to play, but generally blizzard constantly feeds the game with more content, and provides great customer service for 15$ a month.
Just some more things to add:
-The F&*% bags in my age group who drive like morons and raise my insurance prices because THEY get in car wrecks, and cause my age group to be the "irresposable drivers".
-The Duchebags that trick their cars out with 28 inch rims, subs, and the monitors in their head rests" when instead they should be putting that money twards their education!
-I hate people who have an inate obsession with celebrities, who care what they are doing: YOU WONT BELIEVE WHAT PARIS HILTON DID! She used a public bathroom; YOU WONT BELIEVE WHAT JESICA SIMPSON HAD FOR LUNCH!!! Salad....
-I hate the phrase "I still want to be friends"
</div></div>

Boy, omegaslayer, we have so much in common. I agree to most or all that stuff you said, especially the "what paris hilton had for lunch thing". Why would someone care if i pis**d in a public toilet.(if i were famous) :lol:
