I'm starting to see some ads for video games. I guess you guys don't realize this (or maybe you do) but the CIA has been developing video games to train our youth to kill in the upcoming wars. It's part of a secret psyops mind control plan to rule the world. Bottom line is...
these video game ads have to go or I'm LEAVING!!!!!

Sounds a little like GW Bush. I command you not to except money from the neocons. lol Actually I like seeing Hilliary, Oboma and expecially John McCain's ads I am sure BTM will put their money to good use.
Unless you seen an ad for "America's Army", a government funded title that can be freely downloaded...there is no basis for your argument.
And now the ad showing to the right is a "Mind Control Ringtone" ad..........
My brother is a video game developer... I wonder if that means he works for the CIA?
Hmm... no. No way.
And I play video games more than anyone else I know... and I can shoot a rifle very well... but I sure as heck didn't learn how to shoot it from one of my XBOX games.

I'll keep that in mind the next time I'm double-tapping the yellow drum head while jamming away at Black Hole Sun in my family's "Rock Band". When you lay unsubstantiated claims with no reference (even an obscure underground one), then it lends no credibility to your argument -- and gives fodder to the people who want to believe RP and all of his supporters are "kooks". At the very least, you could cite some examples, because if my "Rock Band" game is one of those CIA games to which you allude, then I'm in some serious trouble because I've pulled a few all-nighters.
Not to throw kerosene on a fire here, but which video games have been made by the CIA? Does it only work on children, or have I been affected? I'd like to know if I am a well oiled killing machine or not. Am I proficient at handling an M16 because I've played Halo? I hope so! That would be cool! Maybe I could ask the CIA to make a cooking game so I can become a chef! Chef Ramse, here I come! Are these multi-million dollar companies like EA and Bungie just fronts for the true game developers in the CIA? Is my son's Go, Diego, Go game on his V-Smile console going to turn him into a savage killer? Please tell me which games will train me to be a soldier so I will know if I can handle myself on a battle field. If I haven't played them yet, it might be a good idea to get some training! Plus I'd be helping lower the national debt because the profits of the game's sale would go to the CIA! Sounds like a win-win to me!

Revolter, you have to buy a Nintendo DS to get the cooking games. Alternatively, buy a copy of Ratatouille DVD.
Hmm, I wonder if an M16 is better at slicing'n'dicing than a food processor.

hai Revolter,
did you not try to school me today about not ridiculing posts?
yet here you are, on the same day, doing just that.
interesting turn of events.
but what do i know, maybe my arguments convinced you to see it my way.
Actually, I wrote this before I started the discussion with you. And I think the argument could be made that this post is a little more ridiculous than verbate8's. Of course I realize that is subjective. I never said humor couldn't be a tool in showing someone why you disagree with them.
BTW, I wasn't schooling you. Maybe that is your problem. You think people are trying to school you when they are just trying to debate you or talk to you. Maybe that is why it seems your first reaction to someone challenging you is to get defensive/combative.
Did you read Green Eggs and Ham yet?

> Actually, I wrote this before I started the discussion with you.
so you engaged in this behavior long before you started schooling me not to do the same? do you need a shovel for this one?
> And I think the argument could be made that this post is a little more ridiculous than verbate8.
this is the best your explanation you could come up with for your hypocrisy?
you have decided that you'll be the judge of level of ridiculousness now? you should team up with vertebrae8, he made himself judge of morality and modesty, you're judge of level of ridiculousness.
next time i see what i think is a ridiculous post i will message you and ask if it's ridiculous enough to poke fun at.
> Of course I realize that is subjective.
yet you still mention it and call it 'making an argument'
> I never said humor couldn't be a tool in showing someone why you disagree with them.
right, neither did i. in fact it was me who tried to convince you that poking fun at something ridiculous is a good thing. i see now you're trying to convince me of it, even though there is no disagreement here.
you said you shouldn't be ridiculing someone's post but instead calmly explain their misguided logic to them. something you fail to do here.
> BTW, I wasn't schooling you. Maybe that is your problem.
dude, you suggested a book i should read to 'correct' my behavior. fess up to what you did already.
> You think people are trying to school you when they are just trying to debate you or talk to you.
no, no, no. i was debating a ridiculous post and you started schooling me on how i should go about doing it since you have decided that i was going about it the wrong way.
you know, it's bad enough that you've been found to be a hypocrite here, but instead of fessing up to it you launch this weak attempt at trying to explain to me that you didn't really do this and that and it's really my problem with perceiving all the good you did as a bad thing. etc. weak. seriously weak.
> Maybe that is why it seems your first reaction to someone challenging you is to get defensive/combative.
right, i point out to you your hypocritical ways and i get a psychological evaluation. because after all, i'm at fault here.
> Did you read Green Eggs and Ham yet?
did i read what you told me to read? no. will i start behaving like you said i should behave? no.
i don't know you, but already i see a big difference between the two of us. when i mess up, i admit to it, correct my behaviour and am a better man for it. you were caught in such a blatant example of saying one thing and doing another and you try to 'explain' yourself by attempting to point out some faults in my character you perceive i may have.
Hey look, my name was mentioned. That's my cue.
Since I was involved earlier, I will explain why swarelis' comment was flagged as offensive and why I did not flag this one that swarelis is calling hypocritical.
First of all, swarelis, your offensive comment was just that, and nothing else. You did not address the topic, therefore your "humor" was worthless and non-constructive. It was definitely not a defensive comment, and was only meant to insult- nothing more. You were flagged as offensive.
Now, in this comment we get whats called "satire." You may have heard of it. Had you addressed my homosexual debate with constructive "satire" then I would not have flagged you as offensive. The comment here was designed to address the video game claims with satire. He raised very good and valid points while making a funny joke. Satire is both funny and constructive! See also, The Daily Show, or Green Eggs and Ham.
To the original poster: Please tell me which games are mind control, which developers are part of the conspiracy, and I will compute your data and move toward a conclusion.
P.S. the military uses Operation Flashpoint (VBS) as a military training simulator. It's a good game too! I've got a copy.

We could argue back and forth for the rest of our lives about who is right or wrong, or who is a hypocrite or not, but I find your comments to be unnecessarily abrasive and I think many would agree with me.
You're right when you say you don't know me. If you go and track my previous posts,(as I suspect you have already), you will see that I have said in so many words what you have said about owning up to flaws and changing behaviours and being better off for it. Maybe I need to concentrate on living up to that better. Maybe we both need to.

> We could argue back and forth for the rest of our lives about who is right or wrong, or who is a hypocrite or not
we could argue for a long time about this since you're not willing to accept what went on here. let me summarize it and see if you agree with this or not: i was ridiculing a post, you told me i shouldn't ridicule posts because i may offend someone and it's better to be calm then offencive, meanwhile, before you gave me this advice, you ridiculed another post yourself.
this is called hypocrisy no matter how you slice it.
i pointed this out to you and instead of saying something to the effect of: ya, i see your point, maybe i shouldn't have done what i asked you not to do...; you got all defencive. so here we are ping ponging points at each other when it could have been over in two comments.
bottom line is this: it's not a mistake if you learn from it, so i suggest you admit (at least to yourself) that you were hypocritical this time.
why do i press on this? you may ask. well, you know how we all engage in this bickering about how this politician and this reporter says one thing and does the other. i think it's healthy to look at our own behaviour and apply the same guidelines to ourselves. i.e.: if you said one thing and did another you should at least catch yourself and realize that you did it.
so for the future, all i ask is this: if i make a silly or incorrect point somewhere, by all means, correct me or offer a counterpoint but don't tell me that i offended you or someone else, because i just don't care.
I think you just reiterated my point for me. Except I said maybe we both need to look at our behaviour, and you said that I need to look at my behaviour. The way I see it, if you are truly trying to show people the error in their thinking, you would do it in a way that would encourage debate. But by being abrasive, you add two barriers. First, the person is less willing to listen to you if you have offended them. And second, they don't want to let the "jerk" win, to try and save face (because they have just been insulted after all). This abrasive attitude makes it seem like "I'm gonna get this guy to admit that he is wrong. When he does, I win and he loses." Which is the opposite of what you are suggesting-- that if a person suggests he is wrong, we all win.
It was hypocritical of me to do what I did. I apologize if I offended anyone. I will redouble my efforts to practice what I preach in the hopes of encouraging open and honest debates.

As long as the ratio of video game ads to sex ads is equal then the birth rate will correct for the murder rate
Now thats funny!

Leave if you must. I'd rather see video games than sex.
right- because killing is better than sex. lol
::laughs:: Good point.
How about, "I could kill for some sex right now." Best of both worlds! ;-)

Some of our readers, it seems, need to understand that much of what we're doing here is in fun. R
You sound like one of those Lyndon LaRouche followers. How can you fall for that stuff? Its all just a bunch of mumbo jumbo conspiracy crap. According to LaRouche, every other guy is a fascist and we're all under the mind control of Bill Gates.
Please.
We'll definitely keep these views in mind as we develop our long-- delayed website ad strategy. R
Because if those ads don't go then you'll have no choice but to be dragged down into a bog of mind controlled violence and you will emerge a gov't controlled killing machine.
i think this dude is serious. which makes this post really really funny :D
