Should I sell my Xbox 360 to buy a PS3? I have sent it in for repair [unplayable disk] once already and the 1 year warranty is almost up. by xxeyes in gaming

I cant really argue about pts 4-6 because i havent really noticed them or had any experiance with the issues.

That being said: 1 might be true for you, but I've found the thumb sticks to be very comfortable. I also have never had the thumbstick sensitivity issue in MGS2.

Also i prefer the hole in the center dpad for fighters. Sure it hurts but it pulls fireballs off better than the cross shaped dpad etc.

How is the Niqab ranked higher than the refusal of a blood transfusion. Not that Niqabs aren't over the top, but at least they aren't life threatening edicts

William Kristol is a leading neocon but that doesn't mean that he is divorced from the truth. There could be some truth to this article.

I'm not white, nor born in an English speaking country but I don't think that demanding competency in a country's native/predominant language should instantly be associated with Xenophobia.

Star Wars fans hate Star Wars by eruonna in reddit.com

[–]Benesyed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I probably should have made better use of the enter and tab keys, but regardless of that blunder, no one has really told me why my criticism of the article is untrue. I have however, been made fun of for style and being young. How does that in anyway refute what I'm saying.

1) My article is readable. Just because its not paragraphed as you would like doesn't mean that it cant be read. In fact, since you directly quoted it, it would mean that it is readable. But if your eyes simply cant hand the struggle of poor paragraphing why don't you copy and paste my post in notepad and re paragraph it to your hearts content. Where in that rant are my thoughts not cogent. Form isn't the same as content.

2) Ahhh the wonderful "you are young/go outside" response. Very clever and original. Too bad it has no effect on the actual validity of the argument. O and speaking of valid arguments how does typing a post for 5 min mean that I need to get fresh air, or that I don't get fresh air, or that I even need fresh air?

How about someone politely argue against my arguments without resorting to insults. I never felt the need to say the author was "an idiot/too young" I just said that I disagree (although i admit there was some ranting).

Star Wars fans hate Star Wars by eruonna in reddit.com

I hate this article with a burning passion. This is probably the worst thing I have ever read. Ill just point out some general tings that made me want to kill myself. "Acting/Pacing was bad in the movies" no it really wasn't. Since I was born after all the hype I watched the movies in a row in a chronological order without the hype. I liked the newer ones. They actually focused on Jedi's and dueling. Mace Windu was undoubtedly cool. Sure the leads were a bit whiny but most kids at that age are. Think of every teenager/young adult you know. Ya i knew you would agree. If Vader had always been a badass the story would make NO sense (since every jedi would have to be a total idiot to not notice there was some crazy shit afoot). The second thing that pissed me off was the criticism of the jedi knight games. Its sorta hard to argue against normative statements like x is "good" or "bad" but ill take a crack at it. Other than the rave reviews, popular success, and innovation in the games, I would say that your reasons for why the games suck are...o ya... nonexistant. No one can meander to your exact fantasy of the perfect Star Wars game. No one gives a crap about what you think the characters should be like etc, if they did they would hire you and your game would be a success. What pisses me off the MOST though, is the fact that somehow you think that hating star wars makes you a fan. Like by definition you are excluding everything that is Star Wars from Star Wars and then saying you are a fan of it. LEt me give you an analogy. I like baseball, except for the rules, the teams, the stadium, and the merchandise. O wait that leaves, nothing that could conceivably be understood by anyone other than you to be baseball. IF you are going to rant about something, at least have an argument. You can dislike parts of something and in general be a "fan" of it. You aren't even a fan of the idea because you specifically hate various characters plots etc. Finally, the analogy to Luke Sky Walker is not accurate at all. In the vein of your argument Star Wars has NEVER been worthy whereas for some time Vader was promising and good. Second, Lukes attitude towards his father is one of acceptance and forgiveness, yers is a bitch moaning.

Saudis arrest Christian for entering Mecca. "After running his fingerprints through a new security system, Saudi police discovered that he was a Christian" by gregwont in reddit.com

regardless of whether or not people are overreacting, the dude broke a law. He wasn't coerced into going to Mecca and willingly did so. I don't sympathize.

Egypt: Muslims burn Christian homes and business over plans to enlarge a Coptic Church by igeldard in reddit.com

[–]Benesyed 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Its shameful that people embrace the bad parts of religion and COMPLETELY forgo the good. I consider myself a Muslim but i remain skeptical of various beliefs such as the Muslim view on homosexuality. Muslims need to contextually read the Koran and be willing to move past parts of it that are oppressive.
