Re: What's wrong with the world today?

I don't believe in any of the religions out there.
Simple reason as to why.
Look at history.

I think it's more intolerance for those who choose to follow, or not follow, a religion, on both sides of that argument.

Religion. Thats all i'm saying.

Some pain can become escape that its nothing more than pleasure when it happens. Nothing more than a way to adapt to life. Always pain around, redirect it to feel good. That or some people are so isolated or out there that pleasure and pain are nothing more than breathing.

Another possibility is that emotional scarring caused by some event or lack of event made it so that the only reason why a person would seek to injur oneself, or have someone to do the deed, is to have a way of knowing they are alive.

Note, by pain, its either emotional, physical or spiritual.

You'd laugh your butt off if you watched me play RE games (Silent Hill too, it just makes me squeal). I have a "neck" issue. Ever since I was a teen and read Salem's Lot by Stephen King, I've had issues with things that bite my neck. lol So when I play RE they can't bite me or I got into spazzes screaming "NO NO ICK ICK ICK!!" and then I'll have to quit for a while cause I have the willies. lol My son gets such a kick out of it.....and I bet RE Chronicles for the Wii is under the damn tree for me too! ><

I like that feeling. Wondering if something is going to get me or not, or knowing something is on my heels, it's pleasurable in the right amounts and right situations because it isn't something you feel everyday, like pain. Some pain just plain feels good.

I suck cuz I just do at any shooter. I love RE but can't play it to save my life. Zombies eat me. I think it's mostly because they bore me (with the exception of RE) so I don't put any real effort into them and only play when more or less cajoled into it.

I'm not cut out for repetitive jobs. Like XI. :p So it beat-ed me and then I cried and called domestic abuse and quit.

I meant more the people doing it on purpose. Eventually you'd think they'd bore themselves... It's only funny to wipe people so many times. I get bored easily. I couldn't be a griefer if only because I'd put myself to sleep.

'Ahahaha! Wiped you again, n00bs! That's the 50th time in an hour! FEAR M- *suddenly passes out*'

I mean, it could be selfishness, but how can they even enjoy the game when they're being destroyed insanely fast? That seems to me it'd kill the enjoyment, or at least persuade me to invest in better gear or to keep my spells up. If you're not having fun, it's kinda a waste of money. Those monthly fees add up.

I have to say there are some online games that I play and ROYALLY suck at. Does it hamper my enjoyment? Nope, because I'm not out there to be the biggest and the baddest. Does it hamper other people's enjoyment? Oh hell ya! They don't want me for a team member thats for sure. lol Do I care? Nope, thats just me being selfish. I get totally DESTROYED in UT3, Halo3, Warhawk, etc. and I get called every name in the book. But I'm having fun sucking and laughing at myself so I just let it roll off my shoulders. So ya, some of us don't care if we suck...we actually have fun at it! LOL

Also, there is a fine line between someone sucking cause they do and someone sucking on purpose. Some people do it just to annoy others and try to make it seem its because they lack the knowledge. I just suck....cause I do! And also because I get motion sickness and that certainly doesn't help your aim!! lol

Re: What's wrong with the world today?

I mean, do people think "I'd like to play this game, but I'd like to be bad at it."?

I honestly believe some people must think that. Judging by the sheer idiocy I've seen that crosses game and genre lines.

The Acrotecher with level 11 buffs (yeah, ok, getting to 31 takes ages, but 21 is quick). The guy in the damn Jungles at level 30 still wearing lvl 18/20 gear, and wondering why he's getting beaten to a pulp, and when you explain it, doesn't want to believe you.

Re: What's wrong with the world today?

Why even do something if you're not going to go all the way?

Like I said, selfishness. People are too selfish, they just don't care about how its going to affect other people as long as they are happy with it.

Re: What's wrong with the world today?

Naw, not having all your staging points open is something that's wrong with the world. People want to do things, but they just want to half-ass it. I mean, do people think "I'd like to play this game, but I'd like to be bad at it."? Or "This relationship means a lot to me, and I'd hate to see it fall apart, but I'm not interested in putting too much effort into it."? Why even do something if you're not going to go all the way? Nobody is ordering hamburger halves at McDonalds, or setting goals in halves of miles.

Re: What's wrong with the world today?

Its quite easy to say porn is wrong with our society, but I would challenge that and ask what about war, religeon, greed, vengence, jealousy and hatred and how every person seems to be able to classify someone under a certain heading i.e. "hes a geek, hes a dumb fuck, hes just retarded". The fact a person decides who someone else should be is what is wrong, why can't everyone be equal, everyones characteristics not be judged, difference are not disected and held against people to the satifaction of the holder.

In reality there is no single society, single group or single race which means there are differences. As long as there are differences there will be conflict.

This is what is wrong with this world, in an ideal world, eliminate differences and no one will have anyhing to fight about. But alas that is only a dream as we all know humanity will never abolish differences, its in our nature to be different and to try and stand out as an individual. It is in our genetic makeup; the plight to be something different may also end up being our downfall.

QTF. You can list so many problems with the world, but the root of the problem, is they all trace back to this. The problem however, isn't that people are different in today's society, the problem is there is no tolerance for people who are different.

Re: What's wrong with the world today?

I would stay and talk moar, but I gotz to go watch Golden Compass. My coworker threatened me with bodily harm if I didn't see it before tomorrow when we work together again. She will beat me with a clothes hook or something.

I don't want bodily harm.
