You suck and have no life 203 #76 Posted September 14, 2008 100k is double what my entire household makes. That's over 50 an hour. It does depend on where you live though. In utah, our cost of living is low. You can live off $9 an hour, with apartment and all. You are right. However if you live near Southern California, its not much at all.

Corazu 0 #77 Posted September 14, 2008 Cake has proven to me that AE is filled with quality players who are mature and intelligent. They will go very far and probably win many tournaments as soon as they enter them. I think I might quit Lotus to join them even though Lotus is already in a tourney.Kudos to anyone who can spot the internet sarcasm in my post. OMG you're leaving us?

miniturtle 0 #84 Posted September 17, 2008 Calling someone a nigger isn't offensive if they aren't black. Chinese nigger is a new one to me. ä¸å›½äºº nigger. It's still rude... There's no reason for him to be going out of his way to message and insult him. And to go straight for racial slurs? That just shows immaturity and the inability to effectively argue his side. This has gotten so far off topic. Lets bring it back. I'm glad he's gone. Yet, I kind of feel bad never responding to fubar. But everyday? seriously? Everyone should be able to take the hint that when a person starts responding with really spaced out 1 word answers they don't care what you're saying...

BobRoss 0 #86 Posted September 22, 2008 Calling someone a nigger isn't offensive if they aren't black. I know this is off topic of the whole hating on cake thing... but I have to point this out, using that word or any word used to describe a group of people (including "fag" and "gay") in an offensive context, is offensive to the entire group of people. Just like if I say, "you're as stupid as a TF2 player"...I'm not just insulting the person I'm speaking to, I'm also insulting all TF2 players, using any group name as an insult is proclaiming that being a member of the group is somehow bad. It declares yourself to be prejudiced against that group. I find that to be offensive, even though I'm neither African American, nor gay (and I pick those two, because they're the slurs I hear most often on here). I find the use of that language in those terms to be offensive to me personally as a human who wants to put stupid ignorance and hate behind us all...as well as a white man who doesn't want to have to be ashamed of the color of his skin.

friedrice 8 #88 Posted September 22, 2008 wow u guys are cool u have learned to gossip and oh yea this is for fried rice.silvio 3rd on list ive killed most shpadoinkle 4th coda 5th camel8th phantasmo 9th etc etc "wow im am cool guys i can list who i have killed the most". i thought lotus was better than this shit talking gossip shit. maybe u guys should spend some more time playing tf2 in some tournies and learn to play. i guess i am glad i got out there is way more dumbasses in this clan than i thought just a few cool people left. Lol, that's your comeback to me saying that your in 4th place in the people I've killed the most list???!!!?!!?! Makes no sense. Why do I care who else you have killed a lot?

silvio 0 #89 Posted September 22, 2008 I love how he boasts I am 3rd on his list considering I started playing the game on lotus servers and ran into priime alot when I was getting my 5 games in.Too bad he doesnt play on our servers anymore or that K:D against me would have changed.What a stupid thing to brag about anyways,I have a 5+ K/D ratio against alot of recruits and some members, some recruits I have over 9+ K/D against but thats just more reason for them to be on my team like they should be.

Yeah, being on someone's most killed/killed by list isn't much of a big deal, seems like it's mostly a function of playing together a lot, and one person getting a lot of kills on the other without them reciprocating could happen for a lot of simple reasons (i.e. maybe one person always plays spy, the other plays pyro a lot, or one plays medic, the other plays heavy...how often will the medic get a chance to kill that heavy, unless the heavy's an idiot...). It's a kind of entertaining stat to see, but I don't think it tells you much in terms of relative skill...in fact its probably worse than K:D ratio in that regard. I do find it a bit useful in terms of seeing who's good at their class...since I fancy that I'm pretty tough to kill as medic, when I see a sniper near the top of my list, I know that they're at least a half decent sniper.

BobRoss 0 #92 Posted September 23, 2008 same reason I feel ashamed when I travel abroad and people find out I'm American...I know a couple racist assholes doesn't mean all white people suck, and the things the US government does doesn't make all Americans horrible, but I still start to worry that I'll be judged by what others have done. Which is what I'm against in general...I guess theres a bit of a paradox there...being against prejudice and afraid of it directed at me at the same time...but I'm just going with what I feel...it doesn't have to be rational.

silvio 0 #93 Posted September 23, 2008 And why would you be ashamed of the color of your skin? I deal with so much racism against me almost everyday in this state since I moved here and I dont let any of it bother me ,mostly laugh or take advantage of it in most cases.Whats funny too is im stereotyped as some Italian asshole from Jersey or New York but they dont even know I was born in this state and raised in Florida.Thats a reason why all the racism discussion on these boards annoys me so much is because I can seriously doubt they have to ever be on the receiving end of it but yet they act like they are soooo offended when a racist word is said or something of that nature that they have to post and argue or complain about it.

Eventually we will all turn white, and maybe even lose the ability to produce vitamin D from sunlight. after this i know for certain ur a dumbass, do u read anything related to economics, cause what's really happening is the rich are getting richier and the poor are getting poorer, rich countries need these poorer countries to stay poor, plus governments are keeping ppl stupid, few escape this govenmental control, u seem to be one of those ppl, yet it appears u live in a tiny ltl world, expand ur fucking horizons, and maybe u'll get a picture of what the world is really like and what the world will turn out to be. i'm not even gonna start talking about the worlds condition cause i would proly never stop.What ur trying to say is that there is a rapid world werternisation, trust me it aint that fast, and u being a chemical engineer should know that this world would die much too quickly if we were to westernize the world. i could see u in this vid Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I appreciate the honest and straightforward reply, and can see your logic...but I guess in my defense as someone who complains about racism...I'm kind of in a unique position..I'm hispanic and white, I don't have an accent in English, although I can speak Spanish conversationally with a decent enough accent that people in Spain can't tell where I'm from...I also don't really identify culturally with most latinos since most of my culture I've gotten from my Spanish (from Spain) mom, and not my Brazillian dad...So I act white, I look white, but I'm also hispanic. I see my mom dealing with stereotype and prejudice issues all the time, because of her accent, and because she's a woman in a man's field. I also recognize sexism on a bit of a personal level, as I'm a male who wants to work with children...which makes me all sorts of paranoid, because there is this sort of implicit assumption that people have that there must be something wrong with sensitive nurturing guys who want to work with children (for example, I worked at a preschool in college and had to ask the female employees to take care of kids who had peed or pooped their pants...on the one hand I was grateful that I didn't have to deal with the mess, but on the other hand I was offended that people believed that when it came down to it, men can't be trusted around children). Those experiences make me feel a strong sense of empathy with people who are receiving more overt and hostile forms of discrimination. At the same time, I'm a white male, and so when those racial lines get drawn by people using racist language, I find myself standing on the wrong side of them, and then I feel a sort of shame by association...does that make sense? But I'm even conflicted a bit about that...because I also think people should say what they mean, and I think political correctness has done a disservice to the movement of racial equality because it just buries the issue, making people into closet racists, rather than open racists, which makes those beliefs harder to combat. So I guess what I'm saying is, say what you need to say, but if I find it offensive, I'm going to say something to at least make sure that you understand why it would be offensive, and why you're not just offending one person when you use a derogatory term, or one group, you're hurting us all. I think this should be obvious with the "N" word, but I've found people to be genuinely surprised when I suggested that calling someone a fag as a joke would be offensive to gay people....and I think maybe people forget about that last bit, about it hurting everyone. No one is always going to be in the in group...do you want to be in a tolerant society when that time comes? One more important reason that I try to speak out when I see racism/prejudice is the whole idea of fighting injustice when you see it. The consequence of not fighting injustice is tolerance and complicity in that injustice. If I allowed racist language to be used around me without challenging it, I would implicitly be saying that I agree with it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Broaden my horizons? Before you call names, broaden your fucking horizons LOL. You look at 200 years of history when I'm talking about 50000+ years to millions of years. If you had a better sense of time, you would realize that evolution occurs over tens of thousands of years and potentially longer. 50000 years ago is when the first man left Africa. In less than 50000 years the skin color changed to white. Thats about 3000 generations. I love how you are tying economic trends to evolution. What does the richer getting richer and poor getting poorer have to do with natural selection and evolution of humans? Does a rich person have a better chance of getting laid than a person who work at mcdonalds? If that was the case, Bill Gates would be fucking the world like Ghengis Khan. But how many times have you seen a poor broke guy impregnating dozens of chicks on Jerry Springer? Furthermore, no families stay rich for 10 generations, and most never for more than 3 generations. Look at Paris Hilton. Her dad is rich, but you think Paris Hilton's grandkids will still be rich? The decendants of rich people tend to be spoiled and waste away their money. A few generations is nothing in the grand scheme of evolution. You want to talk evolution? I bet you dont even know what a fucking Punnett Square or what A C T G stands for. By the way, 50% of the worlds population lives in urban areas. The other 50% that live in rural areas live in some sort of house/hut/cave and wear clothes. Guess what all those things do? They block sunlight! You dip shit. And guess what skin color does? It protects you from sunlight! So why the fuck do we need skin color if we don't need as much protection anymore? Dont fucking argue with me cuz you are stupid as hell. Natural Selection works in a simple way, if you dont need it, its going to get rid of it, because keeping it costs energy. This is why many animals that adapt to living in caves lose their eye sight. Why grow an eyeball if you cant see shit in the dark. It costs energy, energy is valuable. Saving energy means you dont starve to death. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evolution read newb. Another thing, read this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_vestigiality Learn what the fuck a vestigial organ is. Why did we lose our tail? We fucking left the tree. Why did our appendix become mainly useless? Cuz we dont fucking eat cellulose anymore. And why will we eventually turn white? Sun-tan Lotion, Clothes, Houses.

Nket 16 #99 Posted September 24, 2008 Poor people have lots of babies because they are poor and dont have any other way of getting pleasure out of their miserable lives, Bills Gates is married and is far busier making money and keeping his business on top than having affairs or wasting his time. Also because people did not have to learn about Punnett Square and A C T G doesnt mean they are stupid, it means they didnt have to learn it for what they do, Natural Selection. If you dont need it you get rid of it, which is why many people forget science and math because they dont use it in their everyday lives, you do so you know it, it doesnt make you better.

You suck and have no life 203 #100 Posted September 24, 2008 i could see u in this vid 1. I answered all the questions correctly. 2. You are dumb to think that video wasn't edited. They asked far more people than was was shown in the video. Then they only selected the ones that answered incorrectly. It gives the appearance that "wow 100% of Americans are stupid". Its kinda like editing your best TF2 moments but filtering out the parts where you sucked ass. Good job, they picked the redneck truck drivers, hoodlums waiting by the bus stop, old senile people, and Dave Chappelle with a radio headphone joggin. There are a lot of dumb people in America, but there are a lot of smart people in America too. Dont believe me? Go to the Chemical Engineering department in Berkeley or MIT see how many classes you can handle. 3. That video represents the bottom 10% of Americans, yet you show it to a chemical engineer.
