[QUOTE=Bawls_Deep;41135969]I'm against almost ANY form of gun control/restriction. I believe Sandy Hook School Shooting was staged. Those two are pretty damn unpopular opinions.[/QUOTE] I can get the former, but I can never understand why people think the latter. It's on the same level as truthers or moon landing hoax.
you guys are seriously sounding like some conspiracy theorist nutjobs
[QUOTE=The golden;41136066]Here, have another big one :v: I think it's extremely likely that the Boston bombings and other such events are well known about by the US government but are allowed to happen so they can justify the continued war on terrorism and shitting all over the US people and their rights. This is really apparent with the Boston case in which both US and Russian authorities admitted to having quite the history on both the guys.[/QUOTE] I actually agree with you there.
I personally don't see Google as "that company that can do no wrong." "That one company that encompasses almost everything run by the comic book's villain" would be more accurate, but less evil than Mr. I Wanna Destroy The World as CEO. 1) Tracking. People whined about the NSA tracking them, but tracking people is Google's main source of income. By loading a cookie (for example and/or just a guess) on an innocent passer-by, they send advertisements to the poor sap based on their history. 2) It's like they want people to use and only use their services. 3) Pulling a Micro-Soft several times over the years. Google Video wasn't doing so hot so they bought their competition. Then Waze (doubting they were actual competition, but point still stands). 4) Pushing technology they want by enforcing it. From down-ranking sites that pull poor practice on mobile users to halting support for effective (yet admittedly outdated) plugins like Flash. Then there's WebKit, authored mostly by the two companies I hate the most. Maybe this is just the little conspiracy theorist in me, but something tells me they're not really doing that much good for the consumer. It's an unpopular opinion enough that family is yelling at me for it.

But Flash is fairly outdated so a new alternative is something that should come. Webkit I can't really talk about though. I don't use Chrome.
When people demonize people who just mention conspiracies is when we know that we live in an authoritarian state.

[QUOTE=RudeMcRude;41102111]The walking dead is overrated [/QUOTE] The Walking Dead TV series became bland because of a lack of character development and action.

I think Oswald was hired in some way, then killed to cover the CIA's tracks.
I wonder if pilot will ever release the fucking files...
I believe in basically no conspiracy theories or metaphysical things. I think most governments and corporations are more incompetent than evil. I'm very cynical about what freedom actually is and how good it is.
[QUOTE=Emperorconor;41139632] I think most governments and corporations are more incompetent than evil.[/QUOTE] This. People keep talking about how Obama's a terrible man and he's lazy and selfish and stuff, but I think he's seriously trying to do good things for the country but he's just completely unable to. And on the topic of conspiracy theories such as 9/11 or the Sandy Hook shooting being staged, I don't really care since they don't really change anything about what happened. Who cares if it was George Bush or Al Qaeda? What happened happened, and why should we bother sitting around and arguing over it? Hakuna Matata.
I miss old survival horror games with fixed camera angles. I thought they looked really cool.

I think homosexuality is an abomination. Destroys families, and is unnatural.
[QUOTE=TheFilmSlacker;41146411]So are computers, refrigerators, toasters and cell phones, but people use them every day. Why does it matter if it's ~unnatural~ or not? How does it destroy families? How is it an abomination? I'm not trying to be an ass here, but I'm seriously wondering why you think like that.[/QUOTE] Man was created to be 1 man, and 1 woman. It's physically impossible for 2 males to have a a child. There has to be a woman there somewhere. or vice versa. Having genes and stuff from 1 or 2 males that aren't her husband can cause even more issues. (It's pretty much accepting rape.) This can also mess up gene pools completely. and if you get a girl from 2 males, then things would be weird for her.
[QUOTE=Stiffy360;41146376]I think homosexuality is an abomination.

Not once have I seen an example of somebody coming out of the closet ruin their family where the parents weren't bigoted pricks who made a big deal out of nothing.
I can't stand Mario games.

Also, I have first hand experience with camping with a gay person. It was a nightmare and invasion of personal space. He wouldn't leave me alone. It's selfish, and people who don't wish to put up with that have to deal with it.
I think Silent Hill Homecoming is a pretty good game.

Most people's reaction to the NSA leak was pretty hypocritical considering the amount of corporations that buy and sell access to all that same information, which nobody ever complains about.
