• I beleve Israel should not exist. More harm than well have happened there. It is not even a religious war anymore. Israel is just stealing land.

The Call of Duty series should get the name changed. The games after the world war 2 ones should carry another name.

Bad company 2> any of the newer titles.

I don't understand why Battlefield 3 and 4  have story modes. No one cares about those badly written missons.

I don't really like cats.... xD

^ It seems like in many parts of the world, the more unpopular opinion is that Israel SHOULD exist, which is what I think.  Israel has every right to exist.  I will agree that I'm not thrilled with how they are treating the Palestinians, but I also believe that it's legitimately Israeli land.  I blame the UK for poorly structuring things when they gave Israel life again.

 

Other things:

• Queen is one of the worst bands of all time.
• Rap is NOT music.
• Dubstep is NOT music.
• Techno is NOT music.
• Country is poorly-structured music with even worse singing, especially when done by males.
• Avocado is the most disgusting fruit ON THE PLANET!!!
• Soccer is NOT a sport, but an activity, and I'm glad that the World Cup garbage is over.
• I support the marriage of Kim Kardashian and Kanye West for two reasons: they deserve no recognition and should be shipped off to the Sun, and their union now makes Kanye legally responsible for their poorly-named child instead of that white NBA player that nobody remembers.
• Teen Titans Go! is better than the original Teen Titans.
• I like the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles series on Nickelodeon, even though it has flaws.

- The only way you will ever know if you like a game or not is by playing it yourself. Reviews are there as a guideline, not a be-all and end-all.

- I LOVE FPS games of all sorts.

- I find it difficult to put time into older games like the old Final Fantasies and X-COM games.

- Yaiba: Ninja Gaiden Z looks quite good and I want to play it.

- The same goes for Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare. It looks promising.

- The first Deus Ex game isn't all that good.

- I find it funny how people hate Apple even though M$ had been wanting to become apple for years!

- I actually like avocados

- Asus is overrated

- Saying X isn't music is like saying the Wii U isn't a Console, when in fact it can consume content and play games just fine.

I think satire is too sophisticated for most of society

That and the lines get blurred... eg. "Is that satire?" or "I sure hope that's satire!"

I can appreciate wanting to stay in character, or whatever you want to call it. But if it's supposed to be mocking, there needs to be a clue. A subtle nod to the audience. Too many people take some things seriously that were never intended to be so.

There are some sites that I just can't tell. They seem to be over-the-top, but... Only marginally more than what they appear to be mocking.

First company that can write video card device drivers that don't start bluescreening my computer after over a year of normal operation with no apparent cause, forcing me to reformat because you can't just reset video drivers for some reason wins.

You'll want to go linux if you want to fix the Blue screen.

 

and you'll want to go Intel graphics if you want stable graphics.

Console wars are idiotic. Buy the system that plays the game you want to play. This is a simple thing.

 

DEC Alpha is the best ISA that never took off (thanks Intel). x86, I love you for nostalgia but you are a 36 year old mess.

 

SandForce is really not that bad. OCZ was just really that bad.

Totally agree with you there. Although, as a person who knows both the ins and outs of a computers processor and program coding and cracking, I never see that much of arrogance from that community of techs.

Yes. I find someone who finds it hilarious to see that too.

Avatar is not an anime, there seems to be a large number of individuals that think it is an anime, but it is in fact an American cartoon only made to look like anime, and looks are not enough to count.

- I support the idea of a one world government. The world needs to be united and borders need to be eliminated.

- Hugo Chavez did many great things. He raised the living standards and improved the literacy rate in Venezuela.

- Reddit is neither liberal nor progressive. Reddit is just a hivemind that is not moderated. 

[Genepool 224]

-I find myself disgusted with people that treat another person's opinion like garbage; those opinions destroyed when it's asked for by another individual.  One example that comes to mind is the notion of "A person's opinion isn't immune to criticism," which is understandable.  With that said however, the people I despise use that quoted phrase as an excuse to launch counter-opinions to degrade the first person opinion.  This degredation comes to a head where an individual will retort that the person's opinion is wrong just like their taste in food, the dish not properly prepared.  I understand that an opinion can be countered, however, why in tartarus did you ask for that person's opinion if all you care about is countering it? This may be me, but isn't an opinion neither right nor wrong?

 

-The current "Special Snowflake Syndrome" issue in the US is out of hand.  One thing I see -- on an almost constant basis -- are people that come out as gay, homosexual, transgender, or whatever and gets tons of praise for it.  In all honesty, I await the day when "coming out" becomes the norm.  These little "Snowflakes" will get no attention when they come out then seek their attention elsewhere. 

 

I want to clarify my position on LBGTs however.  I don't hate them by any means.  What infuriates me are the snowflake/attention seeking hounds that dwell within these communities. I'll reiterate that what ticks me off are the "Special Snowflake Syndrome" cases that come out as such and become attention seekers.  When they attention goes away, the individuals try a new tactic to gain their much desired attention. 

 

-Job hunting needs to be more streamlined.  I don't expect the world to hand me everything on a silver platter, I learned that when I was at a very young age. Please though, please cut me some slack.  This nonsense needs to stop of jobs being advertised as "entry level" then have further requirements added where it says X amount of years of experience are required. I know that I'm an obsolote 31 year old here, graduating HS in 2002 and getting a measly Associate in Arts degree in 2005, but isn't an entry level job supposed to mean that it can be done by anyone with a HS degree without experience?

 

Also, I find myself incensed by these kiosks at Target and Publix.  These companies need to stop the BS right now.  Target I cut some slack towards because they started putting up jobs that are open at a particular store, but I still feel annoyed to receive a card in the mail that says I can't be hired there.  It feels like that jerkish slap on the back after I forgot to put suntan lotion on when I went to the beach.  Publix I find to be the absolute worst since I have yet to receive even one "slap on the back" from these people.  It becomes old, very old and grates on the nerves when I get the sense that I'm just wasting my time yet the company strings me along with the "slim chance" of employment.  That wasted time is valuable.  I could put it into other resources, other sectors of the job market to keep my eyes open vs these shenanigans. 

 

-Lawsuits are last on this list but high on my top 5 things that perterb me.  We, the United States, need to stop with all these stupid lawsuits and ridiculous payouts/demands of compensation.  The story garnered my attention involved a woman who won a lawsuit for $23.1 billion because her husband died of smoking.  At that point, it goes beyond ludicrous.  Just 1 billion dollars is a 1 followed by 9 zeros ( 1 x 10^9 for Scientific oriented people who probably already know this).  I'm sorry her husband died, but demanding $23 billion?  I know the court won't even pay that kind of amount since it will get whittled down.  It shouldn't even be stipulated in the beginning though. 

 

Absurd lawyers are on my list big time.  Do I hate all lawyers? No.  I just hate the bloodsuckers, with a passion.  I'm also displeased at the US legal system, especially with criminals who are guilty getting off on technicalities.  Being in the brony community, the Copy Right system has garnered my eye as well.  People lash out at each other with verbal assaults and accusations, demanding monetary compensations for lost earnings.  Copyrights are needed to protect people's ideas.  Though I say that, I agree that "the current system is a dinosaur, ill equipped to deal with the modern digital era" where information is traded at near the speed of light.

 

 

Anyways, long rant.  I had to get that off my chest. (Edit: Kind of disgusted with myself that I didn't re-read my stuff.  Went back in to fix/tighten things up, so I don't sound like a rambling blowhard, an ignorant hick, or some combination there of.)

I prefer VHSes over DVDs.

 

Sure DVDs have better video quality and are more modern but..

 

They seem to break easily, to the point of getting the slightest scratch and they are destroyed. OK, sure the VHS machines can "eat" the VHS sometimes, but I've only witnessed that happen with only ONE VHS player, and I can tell you it was rather old in the first place.

 

Plus, you have to admit, those long commercials/logos on DVDs, that you sometimes CAN'T skip over, suck.

 

 

And best of all, Thomas Meets The Queen is only available on VHS!

- There's nothing special about the freedoms that the people in the US have.
- Both, tumblr MRA's and feminists are some of the most tragicomic people out there.
- The amount of hypocrisy and double standards in the brony community is just astounding.

- I reject the brony label.
- There's too much dubstep and shitty dance remixes in the brony music scene.

- Alternate sexual and romantic lifestyles are a thing of beauty, and should be celebrated, instead of shunned and treated as a taboo.

- Ponies are infinitely preferable to humans.
- Talent doesn't exist.
- Ultraviolence and grimdark are disgusting.
- "Hard" electronic dance music is unbearable.

That's why I "support" the Playstation side.  I love the original Tomb Raider games, which were only available (console wise) for the PS.

It's because these people are under the impression that anime is a style, not a point of origin.  Besides, if they truly paid attention to the details, then they'd see that the "style" is off in a variety of ways.

 

No one will convince me otherwise that Manga aren't just Japanese coloring books.

 

I've never really seen it that way, but it does make sense.

It wasn't always that way.  I blame the Cold War for starting the process towards sucking.  It's still a better place than most of the world, though.
