18. Fawful is the best villain in video game history.

While I agree with you that there are people who do such things and that such things are rather offensive, I will say (and this may be an unpopular opinion in itself) that I don't think rude or offensive actions are justification for calling the person an a**hole. People, even people who do offensive things, are still just people, and while it's fine to disagree with or show no respect for their choices, I personally draw the line at attacking the people themselves for what they do.

 

In short, people are not their actions.

The way I see it, somebody that can be counted on to murder is a murderer. Somebody that can be counted on to lie is a liar. Somebody that can be counted on to do something rude and or mean spirited is a rude and or mean spirited person.

 

As it is, a rude/mean person is an as**ole.

Final Cut pro X is bad.

 

OK lemme explain.

 

So I go to this program at my school where we shoot our school's shows, put out a weekly news show and of course, make films. At this program, we're supposed to use final cut pro X since we're sponsored by Apple and stuff. For most of the people in the program, final cut X is the only editing software they've ever used so when they hear me say I think it's terrible (as compared to premiere pro/avid/Vegas pro) they think I'm crazy or something and call me "anti apple" (even though I like almost all apple priducts) so this post ended up longer than expected but if you read through, have a make-believe cookie.

I think I didn't make my point very well (although you may still disagree anyway).

 

Something I believe very strongly in is the concept of Identity, with a capital I. And when I say Identity, I'm talking about who people are, at the very core of their being, without looking at their outward selves (i.e. actions, behavior, lifestyle, etc.). On this level, it's also something that I don't believe changes; people are who they are regardless of what they do. So the man who can be counted on to commit murder is not, at his very core, a murderer. That's simply the life that he's chosen to live, not the life that he is bound to by some kind of fate. If he actually was "a murderer" on the level I'm talking about, it would hardly seem fair to punish him for it, since that would just be the way he was born. As it is, though, he's free to choose a different lifestyle at any time, even if he never does.

 

Of course, there could be a more surface level of identity (with a lowercase i) in which that person is "a murderer". So I suppose it's possible that we actually both agree, but we're just talking about two different concepts.

If you're going to move to another country, learn the bloody language and accept the culture, assimilate. If you want the same culture, go back to your country.

I take it you have never lied, been rude, mean, etc. yourself eh? Also, irony!

No, I don't think that's necessary for his point to be valid. Everyone makes mistakes, but there's a difference between Jim lying or being mean on rare occasion, and Bill lying and bean mean frequently enough that everyone just expects him to do it.

I know, it was just some simple bait. I'll try harder next time! I do think there's a story about that last bit, something regarding a boy and a wolf.

Yeah, like.... the boy kept being a jerk to the wolf, and then eventually he had no friends. Or something like that.

[ninjamon102938 222]

Ghostbusters 2 was a good movie

[Henny Penny Benny 936]

Also, speaking of wolves, there's this: http://xkcd.com/1341/

That would be a fascinating story if only I could relate to it! After all, it's hard to not make friends when you're meeting and hanging out with new faces everyday for the past 9 months in 13 different countries and counting. I think I remember the ending of the story BTW: *spoilers* he gets eaten!

 

Jeez, that sounds like something one would find on FIMFicton with the mature filter off. Only they are Timberwolves instead.

Hence the relevance of the XKCD comic I linked to.

Ooh, back to unpopular opinions again:

 

While it can be alright, I think patriotism is generally really stupid, because it usually boils down to everyone believing their country is objectively better than everyone else's. Which is stupid, false, and frankly the main reason wars ever happen.

(Seems like BBCode mode is having some trouble with paragraphs...)

 

People who really pride themselves on their kids are ridiculous. Look, I get that being a decent parent is a big challaenge, and those people do deserve to pat themselves on the back for it.

 

But unless you kid does something to make a noticable impact on the world, what you're saying is that the whole purpose of your life was to reproduce; a process not exactly difficult or unique. Even if you raise them to be well-rounded people, you still rank among hundreds of millions of other parents througout the history of the world who did just as well or better than you.

 

It's OK to be proud of your kids, but I'm sorry; if they rank first in your personal accomplishments just because you created them and/or didn't screw them up horribly, your life is really just sad and meaningless.

I don't think Tharja from Fire Emblem is as hot as Miriel, when Miriel wears the same (Sorceror) outfit as Tharja.

1. I dislike nearly everything mainstream.

 

2. We should have tolerance for all. For other countries, religions and non-religious belief systems, etc.

 

3. Scientology is the exception to number two. The whole thing is a joke, a scam, and an insult to real science.

 

4. One should debate, not argue. There's a difference.

Kill la kill is an awesome anime about over the top action, comedy, and mild drama, those who state that it's only for hungry perverts that cater to eye candy and fan service obviously doesn't know the anime too well.

 

Attack on titan, the english dub, is very okay at best, but nothing too big to get upset about.  

 

The Playstation Vita is a HIGHLY misunderstood handheld thanks the 3DS and games.

 

A lot of underrated, JRPG, and anime type games are very abundant on the vita.

I Couldn't agree more with your opinions on the vita. It is terribly underrated. It's library might not be as big as the 3DS library, but there are A LOT of 3ds games that downright suck. A good 3/4 of the vita's library are great games. Nintendo fans say that the vita is too expensive, and it is, but in the end it pays for itself when you can get new and used games for $20 or less. EVERY 3ds game I have ever seen costs $40 regardless of condition. Nintendo refuses to drop their prices from retail. Not only that, but vita is region free. So every JRPG that DOESN'T get localized can be imported and played without needing to hack your system. Edited March 16, 2014 by Judgement

If that's in context with the current season, that's probably not that unpopular, since Troy sucks in every way possible lol.
