[QUOTE=Combine 177;44987719]Only abnormal thing in homosexuality is that they can't reproduce. But we live in quite overpopulated world so in weird sense of thinking they are doing favor for everyone by not making more mouths to feed for this world.[/QUOTE] Just curious, is the world actually known to be overpopulated in a scientifically supportable context?
[QUOTE=ImpSnob;44990293]Smoking weed everyday isn't good. It's abuse. Not that smoking weed is bad, but doing it everyday probably isn't great for your health.[/QUOTE] A friend of someone I knew who (afaik) didn't do drugs, decided to smoke pot, that was fine. Then he decided to be a "5M0K3 W33D 3V3RYD4Y" type. Then eventually he was kicked out of college and later arrested for possession. Weed isn't a bad thing, but self control is very important when using it, or you'll fuck up your life.
[QUOTE=ImpSnob;44991636]The Dark Ages were peaceful. for Ireland.[/QUOTE] Probably the most violent societies were the hunter-gatherer ones, rather than Medieval Ireland.
[QUOTE=wauterboi;44991624]Obviously the 20th century was the most peaceful because we were at peace [I]against[/I] each other.[/QUOTE] The 20th century was pretty peaceful to be honest, if you look proportionally at the deaths. For example the 30 years war (1618-1648) saw a 30-40% decline in the population of Germany, and that's just one war, not even looking at the rest of the 17th century. Or if you look at Genghis Khan, who allegedly killed 11% of the world's population in only 20 years, you'll see that a huge number of people died as a result of war in previous centuries and that WWI and WWII are pretty tame in comparison. Another example, by the mid 2nd century BC the population of Carthage was 400,000. By the end of the Third Punic War (149-146 BC), which saw the end of Carthage, the remaining 50,000 inhabitants were sold into slavery by the Roman empire. So, math it out, that's about 12% of the cities population that survived. That's what war was like, you look at more recent wars, there wasn't genocide or mass starvation of nearly the same magnitude. [editline]3rd June 2014[/editline] Realistically the 20th century is pretty damn peaceful, ethics and morals played a large part, despite our increased ability to kill each other.
There needs to be a children's book that teaches kids that life has its morally ambiguous moments.
[QUOTE=flashn00b;44995850]There needs to be a children's book that teaches kids that life has its morally ambiguous moments.[/QUOTE] I think we need to break down the culture of good and evil.
[QUOTE=ImpSnob;44989147]Abnormal isn't a bad word though.[/QUOTE] It's not but the majority of people treat it like it is a negative thing which is the problem.
[QUOTE=Alice3173;44996419]It's not but the majority of people treat it like it is a negative thing which is the problem.[/QUOTE] depends on the abnormality, I'm not gonna pretend certain things are good. Such as certain mental illness.
I like Started From The Bottom by Drake and Hustlin' by Rick Ross(which is a horrible song but the lyrics are so laughable that it's fun to rap along to, also the beats alright)
There is not a single justified war in human history.
Wars shouldn't be celebrated in anyway.
[QUOTE=ImpSnob;45000420]Wars shouldn't be celebrated in anyway.[/QUOTE] Remembered yes, celebrated no. I don't like tea, coffee, beer or cider. They all taste disgusting and I think most of them, but especially beer and coffee are only liked because of peer pressure to like them.
[QUOTE=Sobotnik;45000410]There is not a single justified war in human history.[/QUOTE] You seem to be forgetting about the GLORIOUS AMERICAN REVOLUTION in which we beat your sorry British asses to gain our FREEDOM FROM THE CROWN and form the GREATEST NATION ON THE PLANET! [sp]If you didn't read that in the TF2 Soldier's voice, I will be very upset. And please don't take me seriously here.[/sp]
[QUOTE=Widow Engie;45000522]I don't like tea, coffee, beer or cider.

In fact if anything it was the exact opposite of that.
[QUOTE=Alice3173;45000670]I was never once in my life pressured into drinking coffee yet I like it.

Fallout 3 has good writing Shit story, yes, but the writing for a lot of the characters is pretty good
History has no overarching story or process, or any laws that drive it forwards. There is no real pattern to it. One can study history to see how we got to where we are, but it cannot be used to make predictions or laws or theories of cycles or progress.
i remember people posting this around but: the simcity reboot isn't nearly as bad people make it out to be. it has that undeniable maxis charm too
I think South Park is disgustingly unfunny. Maybe, rather, it's just very hit-and-miss but with about thirty times more misses than hits. It seems to me that the show is vulgar just for the purpose of being vulgar, which I find more annoying than funny. It's a whole bunch of amplified bathroom humor; there's next to no actual comedic content. [editline]5th June 2014[/editline] I don't find it offensive or anything; I just don't think it's that funny.

But that's basically my opinion of South Park. Being gross for cheap laughs, then shoving an obvious Aesop on your face to try and seem smarter. Also, the episode where Mr. Garrison gets SRS and they compare being transgender to wanting to be a dolphin.
[QUOTE=Ownederd;45002717]i remember people posting this around but: the simcity reboot isn't nearly as bad people make it out to be. it has that undeniable maxis charm too[/QUOTE] I loved SimCity 2000 but I never even considered picking this game up because of 1) EA's disastrous launch with all of the server issues. 2) The fact you always have to be online to play. Like, there are certain games where I don't mind having to be online but for me SimCity was always a single player experience for me. Maybe I just love to hate it because I can't stand EA's Anti-Piracy methods.

Watch dogs is a piece of crap , UPLAY services doesn't work , major part of the game you dont even need to use the hack system , horrible driving , AI is probably smarter than a retarded chimpanzee and its not even well configured for all pc's the hype made us blind

[QUOTE=Ownederd;45003378]a recent patch added an offline play option[/QUOTE] There's still the issue with cities that are the size of large villages at best though. They definitely need to fix that one still. I don't know the exacts but the cities in SimCity look to like 1/9th the size of those in SC2k through SC4.

Was it just to fit on their online thing better, or does the engine genuinely go a bit loopy with bigger cities?
[QUOTE=Sgt Doom;45005440]I've always wondered why they limited the size so much. Was it just to fit on their online thing better, or does the engine genuinely go a bit loopy with bigger cities?[/QUOTE] From my understanding it was to force people to have to work together with others in their online region. Since cities are so small they can't have everything. The devs also gave a reason that had something to do with computers not being able to handle it as well but that seems to be basically false because iirc I read something about someone modding the game for much larger cities without any issues.
[QUOTE=Lordgeorge16;45003783]This is Unpopular Opinions, not the Common Knowledge Thread. Besides, this is Ubishit we're talking about. You should've seen the flop coming from miles away.[/QUOTE] Most people fell victim to the hype that was built, and truth be told A LOT of people still really like that game (mostly console players) so I wouldn't say that it isn't an unpopular opinion. Ubisoft is just really good at hyping up their games. Though be warned for anyone that is hyped about The Division, chances are it won't look like much that we've seen. E3's starts tomorrow so we'll know more after the weekend at least.
I don't really have a problem with Steam's Early Access system. Plenty of developers are already big on the idea of charging for Betas (and did so on Steam for some time prior) so I don't really see a problem in Valve setting some standards for Betas and mandating a clear disclaimer that the games are in an unfinished state. Also, I think that most of the problems with Steam Greenlight could be fixed by two things: 1. Requiring greenlight seeking titles offer a demo 2. Some moderation to prevent spam/troll voting Not sure if this is unpopular or just not discussed (most of the time when Greenlight is brought up people just say to remove it entirely). A demo would allow voters to get a good idea of just what the game is in a way that advertisements won't, and moderation to block ~ironic~ voting from getting in will prevent most of the worst stuff from seeing the light of green.
All those solutions should have been implemented, and indeed should have been common sense, from the beginning of Greenlight and Early Access. I dunno how Valve thought allowing people to put on whatever they wanted was a good idea with no attempt to stop shit from getting through.
