[QUOTE=FiveEyes;44902162]I probably should have specified. I don't like the music of today on the radio.
No doubt about it that there is some good stuff being put out, but I never hear any of it because the fucking radio is shit.[/QUOTE]
Then look around for it, go to metacritic and look for universally acclaimed albums.
If a combo meal comes with a frozen dessert, the customer should be given an IOU that he can later redeem for said frozen dessert.

Most anti-gun people don't know anything about guns and think they simply look "scary" and need to be banned.[/QUOTE]
Perhaps the people in the ban gun crowd do but people supporting better regulation see a lack of oversight on guns.
You don't need to know everything about something to make a decision on it. Politicians shouldn't be expected to be brilliant physicists, engineers and military tacticians all at the same time to have the right to make decisions on issues involving these subjects.

You don't need to know everything, but you do need to have a general grasp on what you're trying to ban or regulate. Especially in a position of power.
[QUOTE=thelurker1234;44908494]I don't think any digital distribution services let you own your games
But yeah, greenlight needs to die. Or they could add a new section for greenlit games specifically, which don't go onto the front page, and then valve can decide whether to move them up or not.[/QUOTE]
GOG let's you keep all the games, manuals, soundtracks, wallpapers or whatever DRM free.
[QUOTE=Arctic-Zone;44908282]I would argue that his psychosis was deeply rooted in learned misogyny.[/QUOTE]
And I would argue that you're a moron. If you actually look at his videos instead of just reading biased news articles you'd see that he constantly talks women up, and digs on the guys that they chose over him. He agonizes on why these angels would rather go out with "assholes" instead of him, the "gentlemen".
The guy was nuts, not some women hater.

Uhh. I saw a screen cap of a few of his post, like the one where women shouldn't have a choice who they married and needed to be rape slaves and inseminated.

[quote]Humanity...
All of my suffering on this world has been at the hands of humanity, particularly women. It has made me realize just how brutal and twisted humanity is as a species. All I ever wanted was to fit in and live a happy life amongst humanity, but I was cast out and rejected, forced to endure an existence of loneliness and insignificance, all because the females of the human species were incapable of seeing the value in me[/quote]
[quote]Women are like a plague. They don’t deserve to have any rights. Their wickedness must be contained in order prevent future generations from falling to degeneracy. Women are vicious, evil, barbaric animals, and they need to be treated as such[/quote]
[quote] women themselves would have to be abolished. All women must be quarantined like the plague they are[/quote]
[quote]The first strike against women will be to quarantine all of them in concentration camps. At these camps, the vast majority of the female population will be deliberately starved to death. That would be an efficient and fitting way to kill them all off. I would take great pleasure and satisfaction incondemning every single woman on earth to starve to death[/quote]
[quote]Women represent everything that is unfair with this world, and in order to make the world a fair place, they must all be eradicated.[/quote]
[quote]A few women would be spared, however, for the sake of reproduction. These women would be kept and bred in secret labs. There, they will be artificially inseminated with sperm samples in order to produce offspring. Their depraved nature will slowly be bred out of them in time.[/quote]
[quote] My orchestration of the Day of Retribution is my attempt to do everything, in my power, to destroy everything I cannot have. All of those beautiful girls I’ve desired so much in my life, but can never have because they despise and loathe me, I will destroy. All
of those popular people who live hedonistic lives of pleasure, I will destroy, because they never accepted me as one of them. I will kill them all and make them suffer, just as they have made me suffer. It is only fair.[/quote]
You're grabbing seven quotes from a 140 page document from a bat shit insane person rambling about their life. First, I'd like to point out this is written post snapping point. Secondly, the guy is talking about hedonistic pleasures in his brand new BMW with 300USD sunglasses on his head at a private Katty Perry concert. The guy didn't hate women.
Forbes versus batshit ravings. Take your pick.

He didn't hate women? He just said he wanted them to be rounded up and sent to a concentration camp and [B]STARVED TO DEATH ENMASS[/B]. That they're a plague that needs to be eradicated, and that they need to be raped out of their "deprived nature."
He hates women. You can literally replace him with Hitler, and women with Jews and you'll have the exact same line of bullshit blind hatred.

Comparing him to Hitler for shock value is a nice touch though.

Taking a point of his argument and twisting it against it's intention isn't a strawman? Hmm.
Regardless, allow me to take it back and say picking out a comparison he makes and saying his point is entirely invalidated because it used Hitler is an equally bullshit way to form an argument.

True.
Him taking those quotes out of context from the entirety of the document is a full blown straw man argument.

This guy came out, and directly said he hated women and they needed to rounded up and killed. He might be insane, but these are his words. The entire thing stems from women not paying attention to him. He hates women, he said it, it was the entire reason he ended up the way he is, and is the entire reason he did the things he did.
I don't see how you can argue this when the guy directly comes out and says it.

Yeah. I envoked Godwins law. Doesn't make it any less true though. You can pull out his name and women and replace with anything else and it'll still come across as pure blind hatred. Because that is what it is.
The guy spent his entire life putting women on pedestals. He snaps, kills people, and is suddenly a women hater all 20 some years of his life. I'm just not seeing it.

You really should read his manifesto then, all of it.
Simply calling a woman beautiful doesn't mean he actually had any kind of respect for women.
I know a guy who is like this nutball. I fully expect him to flip out at some point in the future. However, my family has cut all ties to him after he was stalking my sister.

I don't think it's just his misogyny, there's also an ASTOUNDINGLY fucked social life and ineptitude, some serious inferiority complex during his puberty and and a fear of growing up almost. Hell, he contemplated suicide at 16 because he met a few popular kids who he thought would never be able to equate himself with.
Seriously, go read the part that covers 13-17 years old, it's terrible.
bodybuilding is very strange
it seems narcissistic, almost bordering on the homoerotic
