(dog dying)
Oh shit man. My condolences. I wasn't in my right mind for a week after my dog died. Best wishes to you.
Thanks But nah, don't let that somehow impact what I was trying to say. If I misworded it, that was my mistake.

dog dying
Oh my god. Peace to your dog.
Sorry it sounds so short. I had to take him to the vet today and he basically had a large growth in his throat and only has about a year or 2 at most left. I've had him for 11 years and carried him home when he was just a puppy. I love him to death. I'm not balling my eyes out, but it's just a very deflating thing for me.

Isn't this guy like super pro gun anarchist? I'm not sure it's really worth it to present my side of things if that's the case.
Ad hominem.
That's not an ad hominem. An ad hominem would be saying, "Yeah, well, as you can see, this guy's arguments are stupid as fuck because he too is a stupid fuck."
Luc is just saying that it's not really worth the time to argue with someone so far on the opposite end of the spectrum.
Please learn your fallacies before you use them.
That's literally what was said, though.
I never said he or his arguments were stupid. I was just questioning where he stands and if it's worth getting into because it seems it'd be very hard to at least give/concede points with each other.

This. Thanks Sorry, I'm just really tired. I've only had 2 hours of sleep because of the veterinarian thing this morning.

No I'm honestly just curious. That's what I heard. Some people have said it's really hard to argue these things with him, especially if he shoots down the exact definition of things. I'm too tired and sad (dog dying) to personally attack people.

]As opposed to what? Would you rather be stabbed or hit by a car? I don't understand the point of this. Are you just listing other ways people can die? I can link you 'A Thousand Ways to Die' if that's the case. Public opinion polls are ridiculously easy to skew and mean nothing. They don't mean anything when they go against what you feel. But when they support something, suddenly they mean something. Usually when you ask a bunch of people something from a series of questions and they choose the same thing, it means at least a little bit of something. The vast majority of people know absolutely nothing about the causes they support or oppose politically. Those who know something are more often than not underinformed or misinformed. Great assumptions I guess. It doesn't take a genius to understand lots of shootings in America and how easy it is to get guns. Further, appeal to majority means jack shit to anybody with a brain, and people with brains are often not members of the majority. Hundreds of years ago I'm sure 90% of people would support a total ban on gay marriage, but that wouldn't make them right. 2 things 1. You should read up on what a democracy is 2. Gay Marriage wasn't legal in America until last June, so yeah. ]I agree wholeheartedly, but I also think attention should be paid to our cultural institutions to see what roles they play in violence, as well. I agree. Culture is just as much the problem. It still doesn't take away from how easy it is to get a weapon designed only to kill. It's incredibly easy that it hurts.

Guns really shouldn't be banned, and this is coming from someone in a place where they are. If you're going to commit a crime (murder, for example), you're going to commit a crime, gun or not.
Seriously, attack the person, not the weapon.
No one who isn't an ideologist, wants to outright 'ban' guns. That's a silly concept to even pitch around. People just want some form of control in a country that clearly has a problem with it.

Treating a Wikipedia definition as if it is the final authority on the definition of a word or phrase is silly, especially one as politically charged as Mass Shooting. When most people hear mass shooting, the assumption is generally that the intent is to commit random mass violence. You're going to give me some bullshit about how it totally isn't and everybody thinks along the same lines as the media so everybody has always had this same definition, but fuck you, I know that's bullshit.
Uhm... It's the FBI's definition. So if you think the FBI is bullshit, I don't really know what to tell you. And really, isn't it telling that the first thing Americans think of when they hear mass shootings, is some school or work place getting shot up? Like it usually is? Just sit back and mull that one over for a little bit.

And really, if we're splitting hairs about a definition over how many people are getting killed in the US by guns
it still doesn't take away the fact they're getting killed by guns
and that over 90% of people (at least according to polls taken last year) support at least the smallest amount of gun legislation such as firmer background checks, and focusing on mental health more (which is a good thing even outside of guns. People need help with all sorts of things mentally in life).

If you use the popular statistical definition of a massacre as a violent crime with 3 or more victims, which conveniently includes most instances of gang and criminal violence. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mass_shooting
She's using the exact definition of what a mass shooting is. You cannot fault her for the literal definition of what she's presenting.
Come onnnnnnnn
It's fucking misleading, and you know it. "Mass shooting" conjures up images of a pasty loon in black attacking a shopping mall or high school, not a violent dispute between drug dealers in the poor part of a major city.
There are a lot of things misleading in terms. Feminist, Free Elections, Gun Control, Progressive, Terrorist Attack, No Sugar Added, All Natural, etc (these are all probably taking away from the point I'm making :s) Just because you don't like the exact definition of something, or associate it with one image, that doesn't change the fact that her point, "There are more mass shootings than days in the US so far", is factually correct.

Mass Shooting, not massacre, silly billy. But your point still stands, I just wanted to be that person to say that >_>

It an RPG-lite
I heard about that, kinda dissapointing how little roleplaying there is. However that doesn't mean gameplay is bad right?
Gameplay is like every run in the mill shooter these days

All guns kill you just as dead.
That sounds like some Fate/Stay Night writing right there. Not agreeing or disagreeing, just pointing it out.

But will it just be bronies again? Meh
Doesn't have to be bronies. This guy is the true definition of Explosion Imminent. Give him anything from this site and he'll get mad. Guaranteed.
Heh
For example. This is a new splice. I'm sure he'll rage at this:
Because it's him! Lol.
Oh I forgot about the splices haha that's really funny

"There's no way to stop this from happening" - only first-world country where mass-shootings happen regularly
Almost nobody's actually saying that.
We're just saying your solution is retarded and overreaching.
What's Cindy's solution?

why would they remake the worst one?
It's not 2.
Implying 2 didn't introduce elements that became staples in the rest of the franchise
Like what? That combat system that only lasted one game?

As someone whose only FF game has been 10, should I play the remake of this game first, or the original?
or should i even bother
turn-based RPGs are a flawed genre in that they often let RNG dominate the combat, but i still find them fun to play
I'd play the original first. It's not pretty to look at, but yeah. It'll make you appreciate it more, and you can finally see Tifa in action who I was going on about with the whole femenism/character thing.

Probably maintain 30 FPS and drop at the big moments. I can just see that. Still, looks great.
Aside from the game play and what not, the OST remake is simply incredible. I can't wait to hear the remakes of all these OST's, especially Jenova Synthesis, Bizarro Sephiorth, and One Winged Angel.
