[QUOTE=LTJGPliskin;44105742]Maybe "sellouts" was a bad way to put it.
I just don't like Metallica.[/QUOTE]
Yeah, it kinda was.
You should have just said that you don't like Metallica in the first place. People like different things, I like Load in my face.

Nah, they can be sellouts at times.
Like did you think they wanted to do the Lulu album

lol lulu.
Atleast that wasn't a Metallica album, it doesn't even have the band name on the cover.
tbh though, I kinda like the song Junior Dad, only if it wouldn't have some mumbling in the background.
Y'all know that St. Anger was their best album anyway. You know it to be true.

I couldn't actually name one of JB's songs other than Baby, nor would I recognize any of his songs if I heard him on radio.

[QUOTE=BananaFoam;44096403]That is because they are making a hell of a lot more than $40,000 a year.
Schooling in general in this country is awful. The blame shifts everywhere from the government to the teachers to the parents, but really it is a collective snowball of these things that fucks it up. Part of it is the stupid, shitty way the government handles education by basically giving more successful schools money because of graduation rates, even if those schools aren't actually [I]successful[/I] at creating good students because their grades are terrible. As long as they graduate, in the government's eyes they did a great job and they throw more money at them. This has caused many schools to adopt policy designed at passing as many students as possible. For example, my psych teacher spilled the beans to my class that he was told that if a student had an F, even if it was a 0%, (they didn't do ANY work whatsoever) that he had to bump it up to a 55% in the gradebook.
This has bred a society of uneducated dumbfucks. We spend so much time trying to force people through school instead of actually making them learn shit. People who don't [I]want[/I] to learn will not learn, and many countries have realized that already and put up other opportunities for education geared more towards those people. The US, on the other hand, has decided everyone needs the same basic curriculum that has remained unchanged for very nearly 100 years now. There's no way to avoid it, and the "No Child Left Behind" policy has ruined any effective education because instead of focusing on the students who excel and providing a better education for them, we have to pander to the lowest common denominator of students who don't care, meaning our actually smart people who have a chance at success are left in the dirt so the teachers can focus on lazy shitheads who don't want to learn and wont amount to anything in the current system.
Then there is a bit of the fault on the teachers, but that is true for everywhere. People are people, and it is unavoidable. However, it is understandable that many would get fed up with teaching on a yearly salary of $40,000, especially with how much work they are expected to do. My dad taught for 9 years. He did his best because he wanted to educate his pupil's to be productive people. I don't know how successful he was (but I have heard good things from his former students; they seemed to like him) but he caved in and quit once me and my brother were born because [I]it is too much work and you don't make enough money.[/I] You work from sunrise to sunset grading papers, planning, teaching, sitting in on meetings, e.t.c. It is no wonder most teachers hate it after a while.
Then it is the fault of our citizens and culture in general. Because of the aforementioned issues, most people graduated from highschool to find an uncaring world and because they weren't allowed to hone what skills and talents they were good at, they ended up work a dead-end job at fucking Arby's. Then they teach their kids that school is useless and it got them nowhere, perpetuating this cycle of apathy for education. And now you can't even make it by on just a highschool diploma. If you don't have a college diploma, you aren't getting anywhere. Yet college is very expensive, takes up a lot of time, and you aren't even guaranteed a job once you leave. This has led many to believe college is useless, and even people who go to college invariably waste it smoking weed and drinking beer and partying, resulting in expulsion.
It is no wonder this nation is a cesspool that is only getting worse. People are less and less educated with each generation because of these issues. The government's attempts to "help" the situation are only making it worse. I don't even know if it can be fixed. Like most problems in this country, the problems have been allowed to fester too long, like and infected wound. There isn't a way to treat it; it is too far gone. You could sever the limb, but if you did that for all the problems in this country there wouldn't be anything left.
America makes me sad. While I don't think it will be straight up apocalyptic or anything, I do feel like this society is falling from grace (hell, it never was [I]in[/I] grace to begin with) and standards are dropping. America's time in the limelight is over. This country may continue to dominate this planet for the next hundred years or even thousand, but it will be only an old remnant. A formality. A memorial to what could have been and what should have been but was not. All I can hope is that other places will learn from our mistakes and correct them before they happen.[/QUOTE]
lol socialism
everyone in Canada is over qualified
america might as well split up, every state is practically its own country and the biggest threat is its own federal government.

I think Episode Three is going to be worth the hype.
Because the general opinion of FP nowadays says that it's going to turn out like shit.

As i've said earlier in this thread, the only way it'll be worth a Q4 2020-Q1 2021 release is if HL3 was funded by the United States government, and if Valve were to hire a team of Japanese scientists and Swedish university graduates. Additionally, it would need a soundtrack better than Super Smash Bros Brawl's. I know such a statement will get a lot of flak, but i really can't see how anyone can make a game worth 14 years.

I think less people are saying it'll be shit and more people are saying it'll just not live up to the hype.
Like even if DNF was still good, it would in no way live up to the hype. It couldn't. But I still have faith in valve because they're usually not ones to disappoint.
I don't like Jontron
The only time I liked him was in game grumps
I like Slayer because they're loud and fast and angry, not because the band is any good at playing music. They're awful. I like the band anyways.
Dr Pepper tastes like a cheap type of candy trying to mimic coke I once bought at a market, and just like that candy it literally makes my mouth feel itchy.
Dr. Pepper just tastes absolutely disgusting, no more no less.
What kind of Dr Pepper have you scrubs been drinking
Dr pepper is good and mountain dew as well and mr pibb is good and coca cola isn't great and sprite/7up are both on the level of bad airline foods.
I have no qualms with drinking Coke/Pepsi/Dr. Pepper, but Coke Zero tastes like complete ass.
Deep down I still have a place in my heart for Heely shoes. I remember my first pair, and it made going places with my parents so much fun. Going shopping and asked to grab thing a across the store? No problem, just roll there with my GameBoy like the badass little kid I [thought I] was. They got banned in schools but it was fun to keep the wheels in and skate when nobody was looking.
I wonder how many places still have Heely bans in place after all these years.

Those things were fucking obnoxious and parents who let their kids skate around on them in busy public areas should have their parenting rights revoked. The amount of times I've seen some dipshit kid come blasting around a corner or just straight up wasn't looking and slammed into people is nuts. No piece of footwear should have an accident rate that high. Places that banned them were 100% right to do so.

The same thing goes for parents who let their kids play on those shitty folding scooter things in crowded spaces. What the fuck are they thinking?

Regular drinks do, not diet. I don't drink sodas like some people (maybe one every couple of days knowing how bad diet can be), but regular drinks are too syrupy. It makes you even thirstier.

I thought Red Faction: Armageddon was okay.
L4D2 was unnecessary and not very good.
Loadout isn't fun.
CS:S is better than CS:GO
There isn't a single "fun" mission in GTAIV(Note: that's 4, not 5.)
EA has published some great games in the last like, eight years.
Saints Row 4 wasn't that bad until, major plot point: [sp]the world blows up[/sp]
Killing Floor isn't fun.
Dubstep drops are bearable, but not when they rely on you having superbass earbuds.

I honestly thought SR4 was really boring: the driving mechanics were broken for me (if you even bothered driving considering your superpowers made cars redundant), it felt like the map became considerably smaller after you get superpowers and the main story just became a grind after a while. I'm just glad I played it during a Steam free weekend.
I don't know how people can think it's better than GTAV.
