On the topic of why people fight like that, it is partly that hidden identity thing, and also that once the person doesn't seem real, once they are on the other side of the world, not in front of you, a living being, it changes. It is easier to see them as nothing but stupid, or just the idea you dislike, you don't think of the person behind it. It is like the storm-troopers in Star Wars, why do you think the producers made them all wear full body masks (which may I note actually are shown to hinder their skills, and provide almost no protection)? It is so the heroes don't look like they are killing real people, the viewer feels more at ease thinking that the heroes are only killing "faceless monsters." In my opinion that is how some of the nastier fights happen, also people can just be jerks.

 

Besides that, there is the age old reason of feeling the need to force-feed your ideals down other people's throats and put your's on a pedestal.

Anonymity is a jerk

It's already a common stereotype that the bad side need thousands of expendable troops.

 

That, and showing the hero killing a lots of foes is the easiest way to show his badassery

Partly why I dislike my Call of Duty or pretty much any war game (I rarely play video games lol). I'd say more, but I've appeared in the middle of conversation, and I don't feel I know everything that all of you are talking about.

Honestly, half the time I don't know all of what I'm talking about!

 

Feel free to join in, and don't worry about it, it is sort of like one of those big wave pools, it is always shifting and moving, you just need to jump in at one point or another or you won't get in at all.

Duh. Since when in the internet you had to know everything to join a thread?

 

As long as you are not a moderator, everyone is welcome

[Coco Pommel 669]

Haha yeah, but I like to have some sort of idea of what's going on. I don't want to plunge into something head-first without previous knowledge.

The only Barkley songs I know are "Gone Daddy Gone" and "Crazy." And one of them isn't even their song, Gone Daddy Gone is a cover (I forget who did the original)

Agreed.

Agreed.

The name TNT is and always will be better.

 

[Starshine 16,333]

Dynamite - nitroglycerin absorbed into diatomaceous earth, sawdust, or some other porous material to decrease its sensitivity; used in blasting but largely supplanted in mining by ammonium nitrate/fuel oil

 

TNT - TriNitroToluene, a pure chemical compound produced by nitration of toluene; historically an important military explosive, but I don't think it's used too much any more

 

That red box is not a TNT, but a Dynamite

 

Notch is a huge liar
