Only thing css has going for it is more custom content

Well, i guess it would be my unpopular opinion would be that CS:GO just took all of the problems of CS:S, made them worse and tried to cover it up with more items. Also i don't like FF/KH at all. Shitty games.
[QUOTE=Robert9734;45941399]India, not China, will be the next big power.
Unlike China, India has the right conditions to allow it to become a modern and wealthy country, as it already has democracy and rule of law. While it does have its own major problems (often violent), they are nowhere as bad as in China.
China by contrast, is already in a process of collapse.[/QUOTE]
Depending on how the government plays its cards they may well introduce the same problems china has, or different ones just as bad or worse.
But really when it comes to that region the big thing I'm worried about are these two nations who totally have a great history of loving eachother like brothers and not fighting over anything.

A lot more, and less scummy business practices. It also runs better, really the only differences between the two are in CSS' favor unless you make a big fuss about graphics (and even then with CSS' better mod support graphical upgrading is not hard).
[QUOTE=thelurker1234;45940485]The developed world is fine, the third world should do what they can to keep their population in check (india china africa). Actually more people in europe, japan, and eventually the USA could stand to have 3 or more children to keep the birthrate sustainable. A system I'd be all for would be a tax reduction for having a second, third, and fourth child. However to receive the benefit from having a third or fourth child you would have to take in about 100k or so USD yearly to make sure people aren't just spitting out children into poverty just for the sake of tax breaks.
Abortion isn't the largest factor in this. Better health care, social security, and a modern very busy lifestyle are the big factors for reducing fertility rate. Back in rural society you used to need kids to take care of you so you could reach an old age when you retire, but not anymore. These days you don't need kids; in fact, they're a burden. There's no sign of this changing, and infact as the population declines women will be more pressured to grab time-intensive jobs, leaving even less time for children. Oh and there's also potentially [URL="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-158463/Why-male-fertility-decline.html"]this[/URL].

Aight, so, I don't really have the time to get into it, but you said a lot of really incorrect, troublesome things.
You make the assumption that people Europeans/North Americans should be fighting some kind of war of babies, when really, it is exactly the fact that not everyone has 3+ kids that is helping our society society.
What youre doing is basically implying that europe should for some reason be keeping up with african fertility rates, which is absolutely ludicrous, why the fuck would we want that?
Moreover, having it so that only people who make over 100k get tax breaks on babies is mental, absolutely ludicrous.
Oh also, the Daily Mail is not a source, all of the things listed were much more of a factor in the 40s/50s, right around the fucking baby boom, so clearly, male fertility will not go down.
[QUOTE=Lurker;45941057]I don't like ironsights in games. A crosshair is enough. Even worse is when they force you to use ironssights, like in Killing floor.[/QUOTE]
Killing Floor's combat is based around not having a crosshair, don't be stupid
Plus you can land shots super easily even without the ironsights once you get used to it.

The reason I said only the well off should gain tax benefit for having 3-4 children is because the first world shouldn't have the birth rate of Africa.
Also, key word I said about sperm count decline is potentially, there are many other sources that talk about [URL="http://www.independent.co.uk/news/science/scientists-warn-of-sperm-count-crisis-8382449.html"]it[/URL]. But it's still pretty controversial.
I think a lot of the hate for minecraft is unwarranted. I mean people have fair and valid complaints, but at this point it seems like people are hating minecraft for the sake of hating minecraft.
I don't think Half Life 3 has been confirmed yet

I don't like meat or fish
just the taste and feel
not because of environmental reasons &c.

To be fair, it doesn't quite resemble the simple game of collecting, building, killing, and surviving that it once was back in Beta 1.7.3 and earlier, and I think that's the real reason why people don't like it anymore. Tons of new features have been added to Minecraft, and that's great, but a good portion of the content that was added between B1.7.3 and now just overcomplicated and ruined the simplicity of the game.

It also doesn't help for older players that most of the new content takes a long time to reach so you spend most of your time on a new update replaying the same shit that has been in the game for years. Every single time I fire up Minecraft to try out a new update that's what happens.

And to add even more to that, 90% of the features they do get added are stone reskins and any major feature is an unfinished mess for months. Netherworld is still mostly pointless, the End is still mostly pointless, have they even done anything with the Wither?

Wait, what's the Wither? This is apparently something I missed somewhere along the line.

It was another boss they added shortly after the Dragon iirc, it was a stationary giant three headed skeleton that shot shit at you. It was at least interesting because you had to build it using the soul sand stuff from the Nether and skulls.

Wither drops nether stars to make beacons.
Once Minecraft introduced enchanting, the whole magic (no pun intended) of the game went away

We drown our fries in that shit, it's kind of disgusting.
I think Alan Wake is boring. Alan also looks like a big city bum, with his woolen overcoat, the jacket underneath, and with his black hoodie too.

But why? Mayonnaise is only actually good if you put a small amount of it on a sandwich or a burger bun.

Pretty much anywhere in Europe as far as I'm aware does it, with the exception of Britain
I hate Minecraft because summer 2011 (2012?) I played it so much that I actually burnt out on it and I can't play it anymore

Not here, I don't think. We mostly have kebabs though.
Like seriously there's at least twice as many small kebab huts as mcdonalds.
