Its not lazy though its hard to think of clever rhymes and have a good flow Do you think this is lazy? [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FhgBc0D2Z5g[/media]
[QUOTE=darcy010;41599350]So speaking of rap music. I find it the second laziest form of music. Just next to the people that make club music on their Macbook in 15 minutes. Rapping doesn't take nearly the same amount of vocal skill as even the most basic form of singing. The backing music is almost always repetitive and pretty simple. I like a few rap songs, just because it's lazy doesn't mean some can't be nice to listen to. But there is a reason a large amount of rappers used to be criminals/drug dealers and why every second gangsta with a backbeat and microphone honestly believes they can become famous.[/QUOTE] Calling Hip Hop "lazy" is a massive generalisation though, it's a genre that revolves around lyricism and beats. It's also folly to say that "a large amount of rappers used to be criminals/drug dealers" because you're insinuating that to be a rapper you have to be either a criminal, gang banger or a drug dealer. And if it's such a basic and lazy skill then I'd like to see you try memorising and performing these tracks: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rgZX71tbr3w[/media] [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9um4aVhTwAU[/media] [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TkKCqcpAcVQ[/media] [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kaFygeknae8[/media]

But if you were take examples from every single genre of music, there's no doubt in my mind the largest percentage of criminals who are now musicians are now rappers or hip hop artists. Take what you want from that, it's an observation, not an insult. The reason this is called unpopular opinions is because most people will disagree with me, I'm not going to change my opinion, so we don't need pages of rap videos challenging me to learn the lyrics.

Well mr high horse. What would you consider the (2nd) laziest form of music? [editline]26th July 2013[/editline] And everyone please bloody realise that laziest does not mean lazy.
[QUOTE=darcy010;41601511]And everyone please bloody realise that laziest does not mean lazy.[/QUOTE] Could you explain what it does mean then? Cause that statement makes no sense to me really.

I hate on how all of SH with the exception of a few are all liberal and anything you say that's conservative related they just bombard you with dumb/disagree ratings.
[QUOTE=CarmineGear;41602473]I hate on how all of SH with the exception of a few are all liberal and anything you say that's conservative related they just bombard you with dumb/disagree ratings.[/QUOTE] I really hate the Israeli hate on there as well. Make no mistake, I think Israeli has problems, but some people in that subforum call for the country to be literally wiped out.
[QUOTE=CarmineGear;41602473]I hate on how all of SH with the exception of a few are all liberal and anything you say that's conservative related they just bombard you with dumb/disagree ratings.[/QUOTE] Or funny. They also bombard funny ratings.
[QUOTE=CarmineGear;41602473]I hate on how all of SH with the exception of a few are all liberal and anything you say that's conservative related they just bombard you with dumb/disagree ratings.[/QUOTE] Hell, [I]I'm a Liberal[/I] and I agree with this. We need different perspectives on events in order to make the best judgement. Believe it or not, Liberals aren't always right, and neither are Conservatives. To fully understand something and make judgement on it, you need those other opinions. For example, I used the think Capitalism was all evil and that Communism was the way to go, because I had only heard one side of the story (essentially Facepunch's side). But in highschool, my economics teacher was a Libertarian. He provided a different take on it and pointed out the flaws of the communist system (and in all fairness he pointed out flaws in Capitalism too). I researched what he said and lo and behold pretty much what he said seemed right to me. That opened my eyes and showed me that we should never exclude a different opinion, because then we become close-minded.

[QUOTE=JesterUK;41605105]Ratings should be disabled in SH. Actually they should just get rid of them altogether.[/QUOTE] Just remove them from SH and add an option to disable them on your own threads if you want
[QUOTE=JesterUK;41605105]Ratings should be disabled in SH. Actually they should just get rid of them altogether.[/QUOTE] Ratings are one of the reasons I like this forum. But there's an option to hide them if you want to.
[QUOTE=Pvt. Martin;41585260]Vice City is hollow and boring. Drive here, shoot this, buy shit. That's all it is. and even the story is boring and shit. The characters aren't funny or engaging, they're just there, flapping their 2002 mouths around making noises.[/QUOTE] I have to agree with this. The entire game was created in one year between October '01 and October '02. It was very rushed and shows signs of being incomplete in many places. For instance, Mercedes was supposed to go on dates with Tommy, similar to what Carl and Denise did in GTA: San Andreas. However, that entire concept was scrapped, and now Mercedes only appears in two missions, one being at the beginning of the story and the other closer to the end. Furthermore, the map had many areas where textures were placed incorrectly, and other areas where the ground wasn't solid. A lot of people say that GTA IV had nothing else to do after the story was completed, but neither did Vice City. You could maybe do the paramedic/vigilante missions, but that was about it. A lot of people say IV's car handling was bad, but Vice City had bikes that accelerated to their top speed in less than five seconds and a mission where the bikes handled so poorly, the AI racers couldn't finish it without crashing into a wall. I'm pretty sure the most praise for the game was from the soundtrack, which I personally don't even like that much. It's a rushed, incomplete game that makes the Game of the Year award a dubious honor.

Regarding the whole transgender/gender thing that has emerged (not just on FP): Has the whole world gone mad? Everyone feels violated so easily these days. How in the [B]fuck[/B] does a person's gender even matter in the first place? Every action an individual makes is their own, not their gender's. We humans are different by nature, not just personalitywise, but also [I]physically[/I]. We will never, ever be perfectly equal. Now I'm not saying we should accept a difference in salary between genders or other injustices, I think we should eradicate them immediately. But we have to accept and be humble about our differences and treat everyone with respect, because respect and kindness is what really matters, not physical traits. What I mean in a nutshell (I've never felt I'm good at getting my thoughts down onto paper or written words, not very happy with my paragraph above but I can't improve it): To [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z2d2SzRZvsQ]quote Morgan Freeman: "Stop talking about it"[/url]. Replace everything in this video that has to do with racism, with gender issues. "I'm gonna stop calling you a white man, and I'm gonna ask you to stop calling me a black man"; we can have equality despite our differences. Also, each individual must be allowed to be whatever gender they want (operations, clothing or whatever), all power to the individual, I'm everything but transphobic.
Considering it appears that we're pointing out SH's problems, let me add one to the pile: they're major hypocrites and often complete conspiritards.
I generally avoid SH like the plague, sometimes I will subconsciously go there and I'll only realize once my throat is sore and my forehead is swollen from yelling and facedesking
I don't get the backlash behind Irate Gamer. Yeah, he does copy AVGN's jokes and style, but cut the guy some slack. It's been 6 years already.
[QUOTE=Mastahamma;41606741]I generally avoid SH like the plague, sometimes I will subconsciously go there and I'll only realize once my throat is sore and my forehead is swollen from yelling and facedesking[/QUOTE] SH is a fun board. I don't see why it gets so much hate.
I dislike stealth games, not saying they're bad, I just find them more frustrating than anything else.
i really really dislike markiplier
I think MaxOfS2D is an okay guy.
[QUOTE=Rangergxi;41606923]SH is a fun board. I don't see why it gets so much hate.[/QUOTE] Because it's a massive liberal circlejerk?
[QUOTE=BananaFoam;41604963] Western City? Did you even see the movie? Most of it was set [I]in Hong Kong.[/I][/QUOTE] "Seems like" Meaning I'm going by what I've seen advertised in a trailer. The architecture seemed pretty western to me.
I don't think the Second Amendment is totally necessary at this point in time. I don't think all firearms should be illegal and I would rather have them, but I don't consider it a right on the same level as something like speech/expression or the right to a fair trial. I like firearms. I'm one of those people who wants to punch people who call magazines "clips" in the face. There was one time where firearms were simple and a militia had a fighting chance against the government, but that's just not going to happen today. And even if all guns were illegal, a large group of people combining resources would be able to acquire/produce whatever small arms they wanted to obtain. There are rare situations where having a pump-action shotgun in your house is a perfect response to a home invasion. Overall, I would prefer to be convinced that gun control doesn't work because I would really like to own an AA-12, but if it does, there should not be lax gun laws.
The Metal Gear franchise is overrated.

Linkara is an obnoxious ass. I mean his little video about the blip adblock thing just cemented it for me. and Brad Jones is the best man on the whole TGWTG in the history of ever.
