I am feeling shitty. My life is awkward right now...one of my best friends hates me right now cause of some miscommunication. It kinda feels like I'm back in high school, I'm not a fan.

I am Ninja (You can't see me)

I almost cried when I saw that movie; they ruined soooo much. Kinda did ok with the kamehameha scene though...kinda.

I dislike Vista but I use it because my University has completely integrated it into their system and it actually makes life easier because of that....Once windows 7 comes out I'm switching to it. I've played around a bit with the beta and loved it. Unless my computer dies for some reason...

Agreed. That was my favorite of the "Why all the hate" threads by far.

I think you may have just answered my question. I feel really stupid for not thinking of that before.

I always thought it was kinda ironic that the "Why all the hate on..." ones turned into flame wars fastest.

I do that eventually...but right when I'm on the home page I always see those ones that are being posted on at the time. Is there a way to filter that so I only see gaming discussion on there? That would be sick.

Actually it isn't directly a response. I didn't even click that thread when I saw it cause, like you, I saw flame-bait written all over it. That thread was, however, the tipping point. I'm just tired of those times when I log on and everything is about religion. And every one of those threads...

I can agree with that. Any ideas on how to keep the people that start flame-wars out...cause if not the threads will all turn to flame-wars. Hence my posting this thread.

Ok, I guess I didn't really make as big a point of the whole flame war thing as I meant to. I don't mind the discussion but every religion thread I've ever clicked on was a flame war within about a page. No real discussion.

No. In fact I'm very secure in my beliefs and I love to discuss religion and find out about other people's beliefs. I just feel like the Escapist is not the place for it.

Ever since I joined the Escapist, I've been confused as to why people always bring up religions. What ever happened to being able to talk about games and enjoy it without caring what faith the person that is potentially halfway around the world follows? (Sorry for the awkward sentence, I really...

I don't know if this qualifies as new anymore, but Mitch Hedberg's CD that was releases last September got me pretty excited. They recorded the CD about 2 months before he died in 2005 and for some reason decided to make people like me that love his comedy wait till he was dead for three and...
