Re: Intoxicated players
You obviously have no sense of humour -LooK At hIs NAME FOOL!!!Originally posted by bustacaptxOooooooookkkkkk, Mr. Swaggart. Glad you had the chance to proselytize a bit and chide us for our moral failings. Given your username, your little sermon rings a bit hollow, though.
<begin pedantic rambling>
A) Many of the folks here are just messing around and don't actually consume in the mass quantities they claim. It's a time-honored "guy thing", a playful game of oneupsmanship.
B) If you take everything the government and church tells you about certain controlled substances at face value, you might have a point. On the other hand, if you take the time to find out that a lot of what we are told about such things is exaggeration and scare tactics, you can take a more informed, adult attitude. Pot is as bad and dangerous as crack or crystal meth? That's illogic incarnate. Pot is far less dangerous and causes far less physical and societal harm than the legal drug alcohol. Yet when kids (and I'm 40, so I can use the term "kids" pretty broadly) find out (as many will) that they've been deceived about pot, some will assume that the info they've been fed about other substances are incorrect as well. That creates a perilous situation; young people making the assumption that heroin or meth are less harmful than they truly are and using them. Those things (and other very hazardous substances) are rightly reviled; they can lead to profound physical addiction and severely distort lives. If they just told us the truth, they'd decrease that peril greatly.
C) Man invented alcohol and all the synthetic drugs; God invented marijuana. Who do you trust?
D) To paraphrase the great Bill Hicks: "If you don't thinks drugs have done some good things for us then I want you to do me a favor. Go home and take all your music, your records and tapes and CDs, and burn them. Because you know all those musicians who've made all that wonderful music that's enhanced ours lives throughout the years? Reeeeeaaaaaaalllllllll f*cking high on drugs, man."
E) I find it slightly hypocritical that you're preaching about the societal and spritual evils of drugs when you play a game that glorifies war and killing and death. In the history of the world, few things have done more harm than war. Mass systematic murder, cultures pitted against one another in savage conflict, the lower classes of society fed into the meat grinder to satisfy the egos and policies of the ruling class. War is inarguably the worst thing humanity does to itself. It's terrible and brutal and all too often unneccesary.
That's why "Saving Private Ryan" is such a brilliant film; it unflinchingly shows the horror and senseless slaughter of war without the fuzzy soft filter of myth and sentimentality.
And this is coming from a US Army veteran (armored cavalry scout, airborne ... HOOrah!).
On the other hand, I play the game because it's hellaciously fun. I'd much rather have people engaging in virtual battles than in real ones, in simulated and sanitized bloodshed than in the actual spilling of blood. Perhaps games like this are an outlet, a pressure release valve for the aggressiveness and thirst for domination we all have within us. I know that after playing BF2, I don't want to go out kill anyone (except for those damned freaks who eat their french fries with mayo ... that's just perverted and wrong and they must all die).
</end pedantic rambling>
The upshot is, live your life how you see fit, and let others live do likewise as long as it doesn't harm you.
PS: Not too shabby for a mindless, drug-addled, demon-possessed zombie, eh?

A clanmate played yesterday while drunk. He couldn't type very well on xfire but on vent he was saying he had a 5:1 kill death ratio and he was ranked first in the server. Quite funny actually.Comment

Re: Intoxicated players
Originally posted by bustacaptxHehehe. I was stationed in Germany for a few years in the mid-80s and saw way too many people eating mayo on their pommes frites (fries). It made my gorge rise every time. I almost broke up with a cute little mädchen who used to eat them like that when we went out. Not only did it gross me out while she was doing it, but when we kissed later I'd taste a faint trace of that unholy spud/mayo combo in her mouth. Ick! I eventually just quit taking her to places that served fries; problem solved.
By the way, Amsterdam is one of my favorite cities in Europe. It's very picturesque (I'm an artist, so I did a lot of watercolor sketches along the canals) and the people are so cool. Practically everyone speaks either English or German; I never had any problems communicating with people in A-Dam.
And I used to love the little herring brudgies (sp?) that the guys sell from carts on the street.
Damn. Now I'm hungry.
true the Germans IMO dont have really tasty mayo its kinda sour (eating too much of it WILL get you intoxicated), ill give ya that, cool to hear ya seen something of this hunk a junk called earthComment

Re: Intoxicated players
ha, nice thread. realistic scenario, many times i come back from the club and if its one of those unlucky nights (wake up alone) i get home and play bf2.Originally posted by A$$a$$inationI was just wondering how many of you play when you have had a few drinks. I just come back from a party and played a bit and well was quite useless. Just seeing how many others do it. I know alot of people only have time to play on weekends, so i figure if your in that boat then I would be combining playing and drinking to get the most enjoyment out of the little time I had.
I sometimes feel like i do better when im drunk.Comment

Re: Intoxicated players
bustacaptx, you forgot to mention that religion is the cause for more death and war than anything else on this planet. Nice little rant though.
Amsterdam is an awesome city. I went there when i ventured out of Australia last year for a few days. Wonderful people, beautiful city and a great lifestyle.Comment

Re: Intoxicated players
Thanks. I'll have to disagree, though. Greed (for land, resources and greater power) has ever been the #1 culprit of wars (IMHO), with organized religion running a close second.Originally posted by A$$a$$ination
But you're talking motivation for wars. That doesn't matter to me. The end result, in wars that're just and noble or wars that're venal and unneeded, is the exactly same. The "upper" classes make the decisions that end in battle, but it's the "lower" classes of society who fight suffer and kill and die. Does it matter to the dead that they died fighting for justice or for political idiocy? They're just as dead either way.
QFT. If I thought I could live out the remainder of my life in a foreign land with few roots in common with the locals, I might retire to Amsterdam in 25 years or so. Dunno if I could, though. :hmm:Originally posted by A$$a$$inationComment

Re: Intoxicated players
man youre absolutely right about drugs .. overated ghost stories .. I'm a DJ and I see a lot of drugs flowing one way or another ... and all the stories about drugs I heard in my life ( from gov and church and stuff) are just plain simple "pumped up with fear" bull_s_h_y_t_e stories trying to fear kids .. but I guess ppl just underestimate the inteligence of kids .Originally posted by bustacaptx
about french fries with mayo .. man .. you gotta come to Slovenia and taste the mayo here .. I've been to germany A LOT and I have to say .. DONT EVER EAT MAYO there .. not that it s_u_x .. it DOUBE, TRIPPLE s_u_x .. so If you come to slovenia .. come at my place .. you'll love mayo and french friees by the time you leave
take care

Re: Intoxicated players
Yeah your probably right about the starting of wars and your deffinately right about who starts them and fights them. Politicians and presidents are extremely brave when hiding behind an army.Originally posted by bustacaptxThanks. I'll have to disagree, though.

I don't think i could retire to another country either. Love Aus to much. We've got it pretty good down here. It's just a shame we are so far away from europe. One of the best things about being over there is how easy it is to go from country to country. In the time it takes to go from one side of our country to the next, you could of traveled over the whole of europe. I liked Germany as well.Comment

I always play better with misters Jack and Daniel. I find that instead of being a muppet and doing laps round an enemy base, I'll relax and take my time.
