this world is still unfortunately governed by the application of force. if someone doesn't understand this then they have never stood up to a bully, or been on the receiving end of rape. you can choose to believe that men's role as protectors has evolved or you can believe we are designed that way. only the threats change. every night, you sleep safe in your bed because there are good men who have stepped foward to see, and sometimes do, horrible things on your behalf. this isnt archaic, anti...
some people always need to be reminded about freedom of speech. you have a constitutionally recognized right in this country to freedom of speech. not freedom to be HEARD. you can create something like this garbage and even sell it, but you are not guaranteed or entitled to an audience, or a pulpit. you are not guaranteed that someone else will provide you with the funding or promotion of your product, or the arena in wich to peddle it. the nice thing about free speech is that even if you are...
lets use some common sense. we dont need censorship, and we sure dont need more government. we need the consumer [gamer] to stand up and say this isnt right and we are not going to buy it and choose not to promote/ reccomend it. the first step is to stand up and say its not right...i cant stand it when the videogame haters say we are all losing our grip on reality and becoming numb to everything. i for one am not. this is wrong. the whole premise is wrong. also- to anyone who had the guts to ...
im really getting tired of this. i saw this debate starting a while ago, and i come to n4g again and its still going on. what really makes me mad is so many gamers rushing to defend worthless garbage like this and putting up this stupid "im enlightend and tolerant" front. its really starting to piss me off today to hear so much moral relativism. im really getting tired of all the slack jawed, limp wristed, pasty, overweight, social retards coming on here and defending the idea of ma...
I dont think this guy is intending to be misleading. Misinformed? Yeah. Just plain wrong? Sure. Ignorant? Guilty. But it looks like some commentors would crucify the guy if they could. The attacks against the writer are so strong that if I didnt know any better, I would think he attacked someone's faith. No one here would do that to him though... right? The article just doesnt belong on a premier site like N4G and shouldnt have been put up. Anyhow, I cant wait for this game and I think it is ...
Its funny how the guy really hasnt DONE anything but is automatically given credit for [positive?] change by virture of something like his skin color. Ive never seen anyone given so much adoration and acceptance based purely on promises and good speech writing. The real question is whether he will take further steps to impose more government intrusion due to the expansion of its powers. This includes things like what video games we play and how much it may cost to play the ones that are deeme...
i am really looking foward to this game because i need a realistic shooter to replace graw2. this video looks so dark. i hope not every map is this dark.
you dont have to be a woman to know when your wife or girlfriend is wrong, and you dont need military experience to comment on millitary issues. he is correct in saying that too many people want to pass judgement on soldiers when they dont have a clue about what is really going on. as far as the agnostic guy trying to argue theology: i know you like baiting christians when it comes to killing or use of force, but stick to your dayjob. that or start your study with the distinctions of the hebr...
Shooting the badguy and not doing any paperwork is fun. No ptsd either.
somthing is fishy here. think about this. why would a cop put himself in the system by checking the serial number, then later steal the same xbox? why would he leave a paper trail and why even risk your job in that way? which person has more to lose here?? and as for the receipt- we will see about the receipt. dont you think we may be too quick to demonize the police? and why bring race into this??

"Spread the achievements around. You may be doing ok but some people under you are suffering. If you have more than 42000 achievements then you are rich and need to give some up. Also, if you play games more than 2 hours in one day then you are being wasteful and should have to pay a fee to the government to offset enviornmental damage. Extra fee for those of us playing on large plasmas."
People forget that when you talk about change the real consideration is weather[underground] the change is beneficial. Fortunately I dont think an Obama presidency or a Mccain presidency should affect videogames. The rating system is pretty clear and parenting is best left to parents and not an overbearing nanny state government. I still see the everpresent potential for politicians of any party to scapegoat when they need to. It will be interesting to see how aggressive this president will b...
Hooked on ebonics works for me!! Speak english.
you would have to do/ say more than "i dont like the current government" to be put on a "watch list". the echelon program does not work like that as far as i know. dont let fearmongers scare you. the people who get narrowed down on the "watch list" are doing and saying alot more and are networking with other like minded individuals. and obviously they need to be watched. its no secret that we have already averted more than a few attacks thanks to the patriot act,...
soldier boy- hooked on ebonics works for me!
jazy, i think i am beginning to understand you a little more. again- i was giving thanks to people like kumate and my cousin alex. i do understand and appreciate your point. its real easy to paint with a broad brush stroke and act like muslims as a whole are the enemy. they are not. again- the people my cousin are fighting are the ones he is targeting. never in the history of warfare [or law enforcement in america, i might add] has such effort been made to limit civilian casualties. he is not...
it is much less an argument and much more a THANK YOU. you are correct. the u.s. alone does not constitute western civilization. it is only the example of and main contributor of such. i am not sure what " there are no mad crazy ....lunified to destroy humans around the world.." means. difference of opinion IS ok jazy. free will and peace to you also.
after reading so much hate directed at my country it gets hard to not reply. i see person after person who enjoys their time spent criticizing my country from behind the keyboard. and not just criticizing, but condemning it. western civilization has done so much for human history, but judging from alot of peoples posts you would think they would be happier if we lived in a totalitarian regime that keeps us in total fear and back in the middle ages of technology and ideology. i have a cousin w...
@omegasyde- so someone cant be a christian and have guns? you need a history lesson. we all need guns. what little fantasy world do you live in? just a little tip for you - don't try invading my house. ;)
