So their lives are worth less? Because they're better off, it's not as bad if they die?



And I ask again, the lives of poor Africans are worth more because they're poor? This makes no sense



Why should they not be proud? It's what they do right? It's their job, I expect them to be proud of their work.



Hey, if they wanna try again, I'd have no problem with the government doing what they do.

A). NO! I'm just saying that compared to the thousands that die because of hunger, a few fat, hamburger scavenging western people that died in this attack was virtually nothing. They have as much right to live as Americans.

I'm just saying that even thought they DIDN't deserve to die, it is nothing less then what happens in Africa. Only there it happens daily and nobody cares or gives a ****.

B). see A).

C). Is it their work to post it on boards? To show off to the children that still surf this board. NO! Thats propaganda. The soldiers can take pride in it though. I can understand that. But if you WANT to show off DON'T DO IT ON A GAMING FORUM. Thats my whole friggin' point

D). Huh?

Hmm... why not? It's not like people here aren't mature enough to be able to formulate their own opinions and thought, rather than simply submit to every little mumbling that's... well... mumbled.

If I, for example, said that I enjoy my work of butchering cows (which I don't do) for food and someone considered eating meat evil and vile is what I'm saying, submitting, transmitting... bad? Am I not supposed to say it? How do you measure these "levels" of badness? Is it all not the same?

sitting in chairs is evil. everyone get out of your chairs.

I'm just saying that there are plenty of other communities that would welcome this movie clip. But this is a gaming community for gods sake. (*drinks a cup o' Gods sake*)

And my little brother (6 years old) was surfing this board. Now I couldn't care less if he sees these things, but I do mind it if they are found in places that weren't designed for them. This isn't a political forum.

You could make one here though. Then people could enter at their own risk. I'd like to see that.

So you're not againest the clip because of what it is, you're againest it because you think it's in the wrong place?

[CP5670]

Well, the Hard Light forum is basically for anything that does not fit into the other forums, which includes politics, math, and almost anything else you can think of, so there is really no reason why it "does not belong here" unless the admins decide otherwise.

I can never seem to undestand people's obsession with making politics such a closed, rigid topic... why can't it be a nice open topic like ... say... pi... or cheese... or blue?

What's the difference in me saying "bush is a dumbass" to "brie cheese is disgusting" in terms of acceptability (of expressing my thoughts that is)?

[Tiara]

Well, I can't say I am either against it or not. I just don't like it that its posted here. So basically yes...

I won't watch it with pride or any good feeling though.

Can I remind you that this is about killing. Not "just" politics. Cause as I earlier stated. I don't mind political discussions. But these visdeo clips should have a place of their own, or AT LEAST a warning in the topic name.

[CP5670]

Alright, we can add killing to the mix as well then. It is just another part of the universe like anything else; what's the deal with keeping it, to quote Kamikaze, "closed and rigid?"

Granted HLP was based around games and art, but Hard Light as a sub forum has become more of a general what's on people's mind forum, while the games have drifted to the specialized to the freespace and other forums.

I'm not trying to sound patronizing, but hard light isn't really the strict game board that it may or may not have once been.

I think it's in a fine place, it's not anymore offensive than the news or any war movie I've ever seen and I'm still not quite sure what all the hullaballoo is over.


EDIT: Wasn't it kinda aparent what it was when downloading?

Ok, since we will be stuck in this deadlock anyway, no use going on about it

It's a general discussion forum, it says "anything and everything" and no one said you had to well with pride at it. I don't. I'm not proud of it, there's no reason to, I didn't do anything.

how does that differ from anything else we discuss?

this is usually the part in the thread where it starts to get really good

not necessarily, you merely have to submit to our [insert-a-word-here-because-no-matter-how-much-I-edit-I-can't-get-the-abstraction-right]

hmm.. maybe abstraction is the right word

In my opinion, your opinion sucks.

on a side note, I cannot seem to prove that MF(1)=1. woe is me.

Well, thats your opinion, but my opinion about your opinion, which states that you find that my opinion sucks, is that your opinion sucks too.
