The Flood / Re: I have, some difficult news to tell
« on: September 28, 2014, 01:35:16 AM »
Oh jesus, enough with the attention-seeking. You already made a thread a few weeks ago saying you were going to start a job and stop posting or you were just going to kill yourself. What do you have planned for us next?
Can't wait for you to get cancer

I'm going to be brief about this. Frankly, I'm not even really sure what I can say. I don't even know what to say really. But I'd like to try, before I can't.

A few days ago, I picked up the flu. And I had a mild sore throat. And then I ate some bad food. Puked it all up one night, and went to the hospital because there was blood in my puke. Found out the stomach acid was hard on my sore throat and did a number on it. But that's not the point.

Last night, I was feeling horrible. And I went to the hospital. I have some bad news.

The wounds in my throat have become infected, despite all the drugs the doc gave me. The infection's gone respitory. And the doc gave me the bad news last night.

My chances are bad. My lungs are already damaged from work prior in my life, and they will likely be unable to handle this. The doc's given me a huge cocktail of shit to fight this, but it's only a matter of time before I end up in the hospital bed.

My will's breaking down. I claw and tear at myself with depression. And I know, when you become sick like this, your outlook on things can really help you along. Happy people can fight better. And I'm not happy.

I've signed up for a job. It's only a matter of time before I end up in a hospital bed. And I don't know if I'll survive this. But I'm not going to lay down and wait to die. If I'm going to leave my family and this world, I'm not going to leave them to the ravages of unfairness.

I'm going to try and post here, for the sake of it, as long as I can. But I will be gone for long periods of time. And when the infection puts me down in a bed, I won't be seeing any of you anymore. When it does, I'm going to hope for the best. But luck can be cruel.

I don't really know what else to say. Thank you all for the time you've given me.
I know you've got a tough road ahead. But a doctor's diagnosis isn't absolute.

You can beat this. Don't lose your will to live. Don't lose your joy. Remember that no matter what happens, you've got people here who love you bro.

I will definitely pray for you man. I haven't known you long, but I want you to know I'm with you bud.

Why intentionally get permabanned? Why not just stop logging on here? I think that's pretty stupid.
I think you're pretty stupid.

The reason is obvious.
Yeah whatever, you made the thread asking what happened.

The Flood / Re: Jason Jones should fire the board of directors.
« on: September 27, 2014, 03:54:22 PM »
I expected Bungie to be so famous, respected, wealthy, and dependable that they could make the game they want, WITHOUT publishers asking to take over.

They didn't fail in the past, how could a publisher not say "we'll get you the money, you guys know what your doing "?

« on: September 27, 2014, 03:44:30 PM »
I'm assuming the board of directors didn't consist of people like Joe Staten. People that loved what they did, and enjoyed interacting with the fan base.

I say get rid of the board of directors, since they are focused on running a profitable business over running a video game company that loves what it does.

I have been scouting this place out for a while. I usually lay low, but I noticed someone had a name VERY similar to mine. And there ain't no one like me, but me.

So who is this..........."Rocket-man"?
I am Groot.
What? No no no, that was the plan yesterday. Why are you changing the subject right now?
I am Groot.

I still can't believe Bungie fired one of their most recognizable employees ever...

When I think of recognizable people at Bungie, I think Joe Staten, and Marty O'Donnel.
And they've lost then both :(

I think it's better to get upvotes from ppl who feel that you deserve such a thing instead of just asking ppl to upvote you :/
People forget about the system. Its just good to remind people every once in a while.

The OP basically knocked the answer pretty solid. So anyone blatantly disagreeing with it, obviously isn't serious.

The fact that Challenger is so pissy over such a casual attempt is entertainment enough for me.
That doesn't follow. If anything, it's quite bigoted, if in a benign way, to assume anybody with a different opinion to a well-stated argument "obviously isn't serious".
This answer is obvious. Did I say "in all cases"? No.

So its not bigoted.

They make choices like everyone else. DUH they are responsible!



Good shrek have mercy.

Alrighty, well let's do this properly rather than with rustling and le raeg feces.

Do you know/understand the concept of Compos Mentis?
Basically being of sound mind, I might not be using it 100% correctly in a legal sense but the term and the meaning is the point here. Being in control of your mental faculties, i.e not having your mind warped and twisted into thinking something abnormal.

I'll give a few examples.

A seemingly normal person living their life, suddenly decides to kill someone. Are they morally responsible for their actions? Well, first you have to figure out why they did it.

In case one, the person does it to cover up a secret that they don't want revealing.
In case two, the person has been hearing voices, hallucinating and has been convinced that the person they just killed was out to get them.
In case three, the person was bored and wanted to see what it would be like to kill someone.

1 - Morally responsible, guilty and is a piece of shit.
2 - Likely to be suffering from Acute Schizophrenia, this removes the choice from their actions as they are not made under proper circumstances but under a warped and flawed set of thinking borne of intensive fear.
3 - Chances are that this person is a Psychopath*, I'll come back to this one in a moment.

The reason the Schizophrenic is not morally responsible or fully legally responsible is because their mind is not right. They are ill and instead of receiving the treatment they needed, they slipped under the radar and ended up killing someone.
Do you blame a cancer patient for dying of cancer? Are they morally responsible for the tumour?

Of course they aren't, they can't help it if they are genetically predisposed to such a condition/ailment. The same applies to many people with severe mental illness, they don't choose to go crazy and kill someone - Their mental imbalances are out of their control and to assign moral responsibility and thus guilt to them for their subsequent actions is just downright wrong.

By no means is what they did alright, but it isn't their fault that they are ill. So instead of punishment for their 'crime' they will end up sectioned to a psychiatric hospital until they it is determined that they are no longer a threat to the public or themselves.

The tl;dr is that you cannot blame people for circumstances that are out of their control, mental illness falls under this category.

That being said, severity plays into this. Someone with an eating disorder murdering someone over 'normal' circumstances doesn't give them a get out of jail free card. The situation plays a very important role in determining responsibility.

But as a rule of thumb, Mentally ill people are not morally responsible for their actions as they are not in direct control of what they do.

EDIT: Whoops forgot the psychopath bit. I'll do that in a separate comment.
You took me serious and typed all that?
YOU FELL FOR MY TRAP CARD!
He didn't fall for anything. He showed you how wrong you were, you understood, and to save face you're acting you weren't serious the whole time.

Why people insist on being so prideful instead of just saying "I see, I guess I was wrong.", I have no idea. Especially when he wasn't being rude.
Then it seems I fooled you as well
You haven't fooled anybody.

You see, this is why I have no interest in being civil and having a discussion. You guys go full retard and act like jackasses no matter what.

Please, continue to pretend you tricked people and that people should either not take you seriously, or the fact that you will not listen to reason. Your move, they're both bad.
Your mad when I wasn't even trying to make you mad. That's just a bonus.

The OP makes the answer obvious, so you taking me seriously is just your mistake

Well, no, you didn't fool anybody regardless of whether you were serious. Making an unambiguous, emotionally-devoid statement like, for instance, "of course they are" doesn't leave any avenue for figuring it out.

Me parodying Verbatim and Deci taking it seriously? Fooled.
You making a very straight and blank statement? Not fooling anybody by any measure. It's just silly.

The Friend's List is very enjoyable. I can actually play Christian Music XD

I did that anyway back in the Flood chat; I just mixed it in with rock and scenes from Watchmen.

you guys never shut up about it so it must be good.

This is the first I've mentioned of it and I've only been in it twice. Turns out Enderwolf likes Christian music, OR he just likes 1 Christian song.......not sure.
