Steam or Amazon, I rarely buy from anywhere else. Might go to Gamestop if I want a game immediately and don't feel like waiting for it though.

Nope. You don't get to enjoy everything a country has to offer and then run for it when you get the call.

If it was a different scenario, I might agree with you, but the US didn't need to be in Vietnam. Its not like the US was directly in danger, so many young guys just died for nothing. I'd dodge the draft too.

I can see why and I want kids one day. Not any time soon, but you know, when I'm in my 40s or 50s. When life is only downhill from there and there's nothing to look forward to besides your body and mind deteriorating until you die alone, I'll want kids to take my mind off that. lol

In all seriousness, I like kids. I wouldn't wanna take care of any kids or deal with any of the bad parts right now in my life, but having kids one day doesn't sound bad to me.

people are brainwashed into thinking occasional sex makes up for all the downsides

I would have to agree. Relationships/Marriage are not for everyone, and it's dumb that you are expected to automatically pursue someone relationship with someone.

Someone clocking me, nagging, expenses, etc just for occasional sex? I can be single for occasional sex

While I agree relationships aren't for everyone and that its fine for someone to want to be single, the stuff you said is what you get in a bad relationship. There's good relationships too.

Everyone has an ulterior motive or selfish motive when being nice. Everyone. Whether it's getting laid or sucking up to someone or to avoid conflict or just to make themselves feel good that they were nice.

No, there's absolutely people who will do nice things only to make the other person happy. And if a person does have an ulterior motive, they're not really nice. So they don't even have that going for them. And a lot of the "nice guy" types are bad at hiding the fact that they're not actually nice.


You don't understand... Why does he want to make the other person happy? Theres a reason for everything; and whatever the reason is ultimately is selfish in nature.

Because you like/care about the other person and want them to be happy because you care about how they feel. Or maybe you just like to be nice to people in general. There are lots of people who are nice and expect nothing in return.

If I want to become nicer so that new friends, and potentially a lover, will gravitate toward me, am I a bad person? I'm becoming nicer for selfish reasons.

I don't think it matters why you wanna become nicer as long as when you are nice, its genuine.

Being nice isn't an attractive trait on its own. Its kind of like taking a shower. Its a good thing and you should do it, but its not like you're doing something special. Everyone does it and its really more of a bare minimum requirement than a special thing that puts you above others.

It absolutely exists, there's advantages and disadvantages to every single factor of your life, including race, and the differences aren't always equal. But its existence is usually heavily exaggerated and singled out which is why people don't take it seriously. That said,

Feel bad for this guy. People at work were shitting on him hard and it really rubbed me the wrong way.

You don't know what the hell it was like to be there, you don't know what you would have done.

I'm sure the guy is already beating himself up about it without a public lynch mob against him for failing to act in the moment.

This

Yeah. He's an older guy too and probably hasn't been in a situation like this before. The guilt's probably eating him alive, he wasn't intentionally a coward, he probably just froze up. And 4 minutes goes by really fast in an intense situation.

Its a shame he wasn't able to do more to help, but I can't really hate on the guy. Shootings are scary situations.

The gun is a problem to an extent, but its not the only factor and I'd argue its not even the biggest factor. Take the gun away from the killer, is that problem automatically solved? Of course not, he's still a dangerous person with an intent to kill. You can kill people with anything, look at the 2016 Nice attack where the dude killed a bunch of people with a truck.

And if you're talking about the Nikolas Cruz shooting specifically, there was that whole FBI fuck up along with everything else. There was a lot of problems, not just the gun. Removing the gun from this scenario might've reduced the body count but it wouldn't have made the problem go away.

Also, OP isn't really an argument. You can fill in the blanks with anything, whether it makes sense or not.

Maybe because he said Kill whitey?

As a reaction to the constant racial injustice that he and Black people were facing back then. That would make anyone jaded.

And as mentioned, he changed after he went to Mecca.

I know and remember very little about Malcolm X unfortunately, but I can understand it if he had hatred for white people. I don't think its a good thing, I don't condone it, and I don't think its right, but I can understand why he felt that way and I wouldn't judge him for it, all things considered. There's a lot of factors at play there. And if he changed after going to Mecca, that's kind of a big thing, you can't really hold his beliefs against him too much if he changed them.

Why is it so fucking impossible here?

Because there's already so many guns in the country, plus think of all the problems that would be in the way of enforcing a total gun ban. The US isn't like other countries when it comes to guns, its not as simple to just do what they do.

I don't like loose terms as justifications for violence.

If he didn't touch you, you don't touch him. Bottom line.

I agree with this. I don't know what was going on exactly in the video so I can't comment on that specifically, but I really don't like the whole "violence is okay to use on someone over words, as long as the words are something I don't like" mentality.

The guy's an asshole if he's a Nazi but you still can't hit him just for being an asshole. Unless he was making threats or used violence first or something.

"how can i relate to some black person from the hood" type shit

I've never understood that argument that those people have. First of all, its just like, do you always want to play as people who are relatable to you? That would be boring.

And second, if CJ was another race, does that make his gangster lifestyle any more relatable? Is Tommy or Claude, both criminal mass murderers, more relatable than CJ?

if you thought this is bad though, you should have been here for when MGS2 came out and everyone hated raiden because he was "too gay"

Not gonna lie, I remember actually being excited to play as Raiden and looked forward to it lol
