I will admit that statement was a bit harsh (I had been drinking a bit that night)...but I'm hoping my point wasn't lost because of that.
I am subbed to Anarchy Online and play it almost everyday.
attacks (continued...the trilogy or something) - "ignorance is bliss, with more life experience you will understand better (I personally lol'd at this one)"
anything with context - (empty)
We get it, your feelings are hurt. You are a broken record at this point, I've given you an argument... and it's based around the fact that you have not experienced life enough to undertstand the concepts you are attempting to argue.
Ahh! That the key word, argument.
That's all you want, not a discussion, an argument.
Arguing with you is like arguing with a brick wall.
Did you notice that saying I have under my avatar? Do you understand what that means?
You prove my point. Go ahead and ignore all the other replies setting you straight, I hit a nerve and yelp, yelp, yelp.
And you will prove it by replying with another set of equally inane statements.
If you are confident in your "position" as it is, so be it, don't act so insecure that you have to validate yourself to a stranger on the internet.
If I'm wrong move on and reply to the others who have poked so many holes in your "argument."
Edit: Ayn Rand, really, now I lol'ed. You need to re-read The Fountainhead. Then again folks often "pose" for others using references and words they don't really understand because they think it makes them look intelligent.
wait, I thought this was your issue? "don't act so insecure"....that's the immediate sign of a person holding their ground with insults and a lack of substance. Im EXTREMELY confident in my views and ideals and I do not have to prove myself to anyone. You on the other hand, Im hoping, would prove yourself only to save face.
As for Fountainhead, it was a good book, but Im more into Ayn Rand's non-fiction "Capitalism: The Unknown Ideal" and her book on Objecitivism, which I believe is titled that...can't remember. Give me an address and I'll send you both books...I love sharing the books that I enjoyed.
As he continues to project.
You going to address the others who poked holes in your argument? Or are you going to continue to focus on the person that called you out on your BS?
This coming from a guy who made excuses to his wording in the thread "because he was drinking?" Don't be an amateur and blame your actions on alcohol.
Truth is you never presented a debatable/arguable subject or point, all you did was ramble out some subjective points of view. Can't logically argue with that other than point out the fact that it is essentially just that, subjective.
ha...I actually said that the statement was harsh, but I was still commited to the point I was making.
I replied to plenty of others. My issue with you is you bring nothing to the table. You disrupt it and walk away. There is nothing worse (in a post) that responds with no substance and cannot give valid explanation for their stance. That is why I'm relentless for the most part. The other part is to see if you actually know anything at all or if you are just pulling little pieces of things you heard of in a "fire-side chat" to use in your arsenal (lack thereof in this case).
You have repeatedly been asked to state a substantive view on why you think that MMO's only have hints of pop culture in them, rather actually being a part of pop culture and everytime you have been on the attack, trying to criticize rather than rationalize. It's pathetic and exposes your character flaws.
The only think that was missing from making my argument objective was factual data....To make you happy, I will research tonight, after work, to present my findings. But you must make a better effort to present your thoughts on the matter.
You are slowly figuring it out, yet you still don't address the others replys stating that your POV is inaccurate, why is that?
I agree with you. I have posted many times how we got here... I just get banned everytime I type it into one of these forums.
Because my grandmother is aware of American Idol and the moonlanding and Micheal Jackson, but you mention MMO's and she has no clue. Her and countless others are on the same page.
As much as it is a big deal in your "world" it doesn't make it a cultural phenomena that would denote pop culture.
You have designs for the lowest common denominator confused with the term Pop Culture.
You have no room to "yelp" about "attacks" when you attempt to associate me with "character flaws."
That's the pot calling the kettle black.
So if you have a real point, you will address the others that disagree with you rather than continue to wear your emotions on your sleeve and focus on me.
Remember, you are confident in your position, confidence would denote that you wouldn't argue with someone who has no point.
Yet with every reply you flail about cementing the fact that I have certainly touched a sore spot.
Self-pity imprisons us in the walls of our own self-absorption. The whole world shrinks down to the size of our problem, and the more we dwell on it, the smaller we are and the larger the problem seems to grow.
You are right, I have digressed, my apologies. No Mas!
S'all right.

Denote everything someone says, even demonize them, fill it with nothingness and move on....you are the fuel that keeps me going. Thanks so much.
