Enough with the doom and gloom, people!
OMG yes! You just won the internet.TheDrunkNinja said:
Obvious self-contradiction is obvious. Also, John 3:16; Matthew 5:39, 5:44, 7:22. (since you've probably never read the Bible, you can probably find one at a library or any book store, if not online EDIT: oh, and the citations are: Book chapter:verse) Also, know what the hell you're talking about before you run your mouth.NightmareLuna said:
While I do think that the current mainstream shooters are ok (much as I enjoy bashing them), I much prefer the slightly older ones like Timesplitters and UT2004 (the latter being probably my favourite game of all time).
I found Anchorman incredibly boring and unfunny.
I found Monty Python and the Holy Grail equally boring and unfunny. I love the Life of Brian however.
I dislike Steam (as made by Valve, not evaporation), though I readily admit that this is based only on negative experiences of playing the first game I bought that required Steam and I have little experience of using the rest of the service. It was bad enough that I haven't played a PC game since then, though, nor do I intend to unless I suddenly become obscenely rich.
I dislike or am at least indifferent to most mainstream music, especially hip-hop, R&B, and Dubstep.
I do not believe in god, but have mixed feelings about religion. Religious people individually are just as able to be nice/not nice as anyone else (for the record, all of the religious people I know are lovely, as are all of the non-religious). There are many parts of religion which I think are good or can see that would be nice, such as the 'love thy neighbour' and community aspects respectively. On the other hand, there are many parts which I believe are evil and fundamentally sick.
Related to the above, I believe that the god as described by the Bible (don't know enough about other gods [aside from ancient Greek and Norse] to comment on them) - particularly in the old testament - is at best no more good than the average human.
Despite the good sides, I think the world would be better off without organised religion, at least until there is no more hatred (or more importanly, action) against other religions, the non-religious, or any other group. Also that while it's still here, the religion should have no power over the state.
The idea that without religion people would have no morals offends me.
I am totally against the death penalty in any circumstances.
I do not believe that something constitutes murder until the thing in question has the capacity to feel pain / is self-aware. Destroying something that has the potential to become something that feels pain but which does not currently have the capacity to do so is not murder any more than a man failing to have sex 24/7 is allowing the deaths of millions in all those sperm that were destroyed before fertalising an egg.
EDIT: Two I forgot:
Although initially being outraged at the raise in student fees in the UK (not for myself, who is fairly well off, though not close to well off enough to pay without a loan, but for the poor), I now have no problem with it, as the loan covers it completely while you're there, and has very reasonable conditions for paying it off. I do think that the maintanence loan is far too low though, if you don't stay in london at least.
Sort of related, I generally agree with the Lib-Dem policies that I know of, and much prefer them to the Conservatives (grrr) and Labour. I would prefer Labour to this Tory-led coalition though.

I have two things to say about this comment:Deathmageddon said:
1. That is true but thats just stupid people saying stupid things. If you get a comment on that don't be like most people and go OMG YOU OFFENDED MY RELIGION! Just ask him/her why he/she thinks that and respectfully disagree.
2. Just being nit picky now. Tom Milner did not say atheists he said theists which are religious people. Although many atheists do this to.
In other words, rather than attempting to discover the CAUSE of someone's even menial misery and at times relevant/understandable concerns with the world, you shun them in order to selfishly allow yourself to continue living in sunshine and rainbows.Rawne1980 said:
I don't think the human race dying out would be a bad thing. That one seems to be fairly unpopular. However, I don't hold that opinion because I'm some kind of misanthrope. I just think that we wouldn't care if the human race died out, because we'd be dead. That last sentence pretty much colours all of my opinions on anything relating to death.
I think that all drugs should be legal and just as with alcohol, you are still responsible for your actions whilst on them.
I think incest is fine as long as you're not having children with a close enough relative to produce birth defects.
As a side note; I didn't read the whole thread but I noticed this a few times, what is with people equating nihilism with misanthropy? They're not the same thing.

Flameshield raised.
1 = I don't believe maturity, wisdom comes with age. I could go into more detail, but I won't.
2 = Sexism against men can also exist.
3 = Bad grammar has no correlation with ignorance.
4 = I don't agree with suicide, but I also don't agree with mindlessly stereotyping anyone who does as cowardly or selfish. As ironically, it's in inconclusive ways cowardly and selfish in itself to do so.
5 = Hitting a woman is no more wrong than hitting a man. Equality is equality, practice what you preach.

He's got a point. People that binge-drink, smoke and/or over-eat due to lack of self-control should know of the potentially harmful side-effects it can cause, therefore why should we have to pay for their treatment and cause an even bigger drain on resources, when they could've just not done it in the first place and actually taken better fucking care of themselves? Why shouldn't they pay for their own damn health care?SamuelT said:
Of course, that excludes those who suffer second-hand smoke, slow metabolisms and just happen to have diabetes through no fault of their own.

I don't think incest before second cousins and incestuous marriage should be illegal, as long as you don't reproduce.
Bestiality is animal abuse, and I don't care what anyone says about it "not hurting the animal". It's still having sex with a living being against their will, therefore that's rape. Pure and simple. You could make the same argument that child molestation doesn't hurt the child if it doesn't know what's going on, but it'd be equally as retarded.
The "gay marriage" movement is largely misguided and an overall bad idea.
- if it's about legal benefits, people are okay with that. You don't need to be "married" for that.
- if it's about respect, "marriage" won't help anybody like you better. And vilifying your political opponents definitely hurts.
- if it's about "equality", get over yourselves. It's a different kind of relationship. Having a different name is not "demeaning".

An unborn fetus is a living person, and should be given some consideration as such.
I am a practicing Mormon (which no doubt influenced the above opinions).
...and Spider-Man 3 was an enjoyable film.

well i didn't feel like reading every post so heres a small list of a few of my opinions that most people don't like.
1) i CANNOT stand stoners, or weed in general. they don't look cool, they are NOT as awesome as they make themselves out to be, and about 87% of the "stoners" i have known seem to meet the criteria to be mentally handicapped.
2) i completely support the seal hunt, too much of what people know is biased media on the matter.
3) as much as i hate to throw fire on the "feminism is bad" pile, but i think if there is "women studies" classes in public schools then there should either be a "men studies" class or there should be neither i have never seen one thing i consider good or progressive come out of the local women studies class
4) in a way i support bullies, now before the real hate starts yes i was bullied in the younger grades,but if you can't stand up for yourself then nobody else should do it for you. first time i got into a fight i had my ass kicked, then i learned how to defend myself, i was insulted until i snapped, then i learned to control my temper i also gained wit and a sense of humor. I graduated being the funniest guy in my class, i was well liked and nobody wanted to mess with me.

Hermaphrodites should be allowed to choose their OWN sex, not have it done by the parents and ruin their lives. I think of it as disgustingly cruel our society resorts to mutilating them at birth when they have no choice treating them as if they are freaks. Leave them ALONE and let them make the decision! I don't know how our society can stand by doing something so evil. Seriously, what the hell is WRONG with you people?
i believe that once convicted guilty and given the death penalty that persons should be executed by a gun shot to the head within the day, no more of this repealing shit that makes cases drag on for decades
I support the death penalty. If you murder or rape, I don't think you have the right to live anymore.
I'm not entirely sure I understand what you're trying to say in your 1st point. Are you saying that maturity doesn't come with age but wisdom does, or that neither do? I would definitely agree with you that maturity doesn't, i'm not sure either way on the wisdom bit.LookAtYouHacker said:
I agree with all your other points too, but just to be nitpicky/pedantic - While I know what you mean and agree, bad grammar presumably has some correlation with ignorance of the rules of grammar
