Bin Laden Defeated

Taking out the leader of one of the worlds most violent terrorist organizations is meaningless, huh? Easy to say it has no real meaning if you weren't affected by it in the least bit. Furthermore, I feel like this is something America can unite behind during such a long dreadful era of pessimism and despair. They haven't shown his body, but ffs, it's been less than 24 hours since it happened. I don't think the first thing they want to do is parade the image of a carcass all over the country.

Oh, also
9/11 WAS AN INSIDE JOB, I RESEARCHED IT ON YOUTUBE

Do people really believe 9/11 was an inside job still? Seriously? To counter your one point of physical evidence, jet fuel doesn't burn at a high enough temperature to melt those buildings, but the buildings lose structural cohesion at a temperature way below their melting point. Every single piece of every conspiracy theory you've heard about 9/11 has been disproven. Have you read the 9/11 comission? Have you actually looked at all into the facts, other than what's been spoon-fed to you by Zeitgeist, Loose Change, etc? Seriously. Google "debunk 9/11 conspiracies", and tell me you don't find a million different cold hard facts that completely tear apart your boogeyman.

Fucking crawl out of your hole you sheltered juvenile. Fuck.


I have no words for how retarded this post is, so here's a waffle made out of legos instead :


Bin Laden Defeated

Are terrorist attacks on civilian targets ever justifiable?


No.

It would be one thing if this was a conventional war against military targets, but how can you possibly justify flying planes into buildings and bombing Underground trains with "Yeah if we weren't such pricks".


No, none of this is justified. It's all murder, no matter what flavor. Whether we're spraying napalm on a barely functional military or fighting against "animals" who are fighting back in the only way they can. This started way before this moronic "War on Terror".


If anything that's an understatement to them to assume that their only recourse is bombing us from behind the scenes like animals, instead of approaching us on the world stage like an actual civilized organization.


I'm having trouble concentrating because of GreatRedSpirit's avatar, so I'll do my best to answer this.

We're long passed the point where these people can hope to approach for compromise, despite the honeyed words of our corporate puppets leaders.

I'm not entirely convinced that this would have been an option beforehand, either. Hell, maybe it was approached before things got out of hand and in brave American fashion, we ignored them. We don't know.

I can gulp and accept wartime casualties, but there is no excuse for planned and systimatic attacks on civilian targets. None.


There isn't, but there's no excuse for "collateral damage" either.


Nobody ever claimed that killing (or capturing) Osama would fix everything. It's apples and oranges, and let one victory have its day, don't sour it up by going "WELL THERE'S OTHER PROBLEMS."


Victory usually has benefits aside from empty hubris and retribution.

There are most certainly a multitude of foreseen tactical benefits of getting the guy, alive or dead. For one, there's gonna be a hell of a power vacuum in place. Killing an important guy in a hierarchal organization doesn't mean another guy gets spit out immediately, theres a lot of damage to fix and shit to fill in to replenish the resources, influence, and power that Osama occupied.


Killing one leader doesn't leave a power vacuum. His compatriots and underlings merely step up one to take his place.

Face it. America, because of what she stands for as a nation, was their ideological enemy long before we fired a single shot at them. They'd still hate us whether we'd been there or not - there'd still have been attacks, and may be in the future as well, blocked or not - because we represent the antithesis of their own outlook.

Children aren't radicalized because of our love of cheeseburgers short skirts, and BASED BALL. The severity of and frequency of the attacks might be just a TAD BIT diminished if we stopped being giant pricks.

Well said, Ender.

Go away.

"It also means justice and retribution for thousands upon thousands of families whose lives have been crushed by this man's actions at long last. Don't think that because you weren't personally affected that it doesn't matter."

While that's all cute and biblical, it has no tangible benefit for us; especially given the ridiculous cost of killing this one scumbag. At the end of the day, the damage is still done. Unemployment still sucks, our country is still in the icy grasp of business criminals, and Al Queda will just fine some other scumbag to replace him.

Your memories of the early days of the internet

author=LockeZ
I spend every waking hour on a Final Fantasy MUD (a text-based online RPG) with maybe 100-200 players, where most of those players know me well enough to know what my fetishes are. (Hint: Cheddargirls)

Did you play FFE too? Not sure if we're thinking of the same thing, but FFE (Final Fantasy EXTREME) was a chatroom text based game where you choose a class for your character and leveled him up. Character info was stored within randomly generated codes and the "host" would put these codes into the application to start the battle. You could pick from the FF6 classes, (Gambler, Artist, Machinist, etc) and you could even buy equipment for your character. Here's a better explanation: http://fantasyextreme.sourceforge.net/

Early internet was as follows: Abusing AOL Free trials using different names over and over until my mother somehow got 3 months free Prodigy internet. There I spent the days of my summer sitting in the chatrooms and eventually learning how to type because of it. Prodigy ran out, prodigy died not long after then AOL started using a monthly fee payment program, so me and brother convinced my mothers to subscribe. Much fun was had downloading free versions of Doom and raptor on our crappy packerd bell computer... ... ... then our house burned down. Derp.

Bowing Out

author=Craze
I am going to bow out of RMN's forums until a large change happens. I will not be ~gone forever~! I'll still be working with karsu and eventually updating our game profiles to fit our designs. I am also not rage-quitting, simply leaving before I ragequit.

Like I said, I'll return to the forums when the community shifts into something more pleasant and constructive. I have faith that holb can direct this change.

If you wish to contact me, I'll still be on the site, so I will receive PMs. Beyond that, I'm not closing down any other avenues of communication, so if you know my email/AIM I'll still be there.

Good luck taking things seriously!


For full effect, play this in the background : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EHOBw6XwqRo

I just make games. And give advice. And help people. And make rude remarks about the RM* community needing to make itself look not-idiotic.


If that's your outlook on RM* development, why the hell are you here?


cho
i literally hate myself and am steeling my will to play Vagrant Story

i mean this game is awesome and all but i just know i'm going to play for 5 hours and say "whoops fucked up my weapons! time to kill myself" and start all over

I hate you for being that type of player. At least you hate yourself for it.

I play games to have fun, not masturbate on SNES rips or restart my game because I'm not perfect. I don't savescum, I don't cheat, I don't do anything to ruin the experience.


calunio
I would believe if it wasn't you. You don't care about aesthetics, you only care about numbers. And numbers in 2k3 suck, everybody knows that. So... yeah.

Craze
You're a fucking idiot.


LockeZ, please be quiet until you decide to use a game design community/hosting site as anything except a place to spam links to your shitty MUD.

Thanks.


Bored now.

It looks like a white castle burger.

Switching to midis and increasing the walk speed.

Converting MP3s properly, they don't take up much room. Learn how to use audacity, it isn't hard.

Yeesh, that was quick. Thanks a lot.

Would save me a ton of time, I can add all of the other necessary things if I could get this into chipset form. Thanks, or not.
