Are We Arguing Yet?

I'm not going to list personal examples, so I hope the following is enough to explain...
When people say 'I argue", I am really "discussing". When people see "angry", I see "passionate". When people say "he always wants to be right", I think "I want to get my opinions out there". 99% of the time I am fine with people disagreeing with me. The 1% include issues like it's not ok to murder people. Otherwise, for the rest of the 99%, if everybody agreed with me, the world would be a very boring place.

Let's start with discussing. Over the internet, there is no facial expressions or tone of speech. My idea is, it's not an argument until somebody starts inserting attitude and profanity. There have been times when people thought I was arguing with them, then acted accordingly, which leads me to my next item of discussion...

...Passion. When I go around and I make long-ass posts that the majority don't even bother to read ( more like 99% ), I do it because it matters to me. Why do I feel, why do I post, why do I care? This needs to be conveyed in a proper debate.

Do I like being right? Everybody does. I like my ideas validated. But I'm not always right. Unless I stick my ideas out there, I'll never get feedback or confirmation that I am indeed correct. If I'm wrong, I learn something. I never say you have to agree with me, I'm just putting it out there for you to think about. There is no 'ego' involved.

Nudity is the WORST!

An article HERE shows how a game with sex is removed promptly from Steam.

"We submitted the game on Thursday, when Steam Greenlight launched," explained Miriam Bellard, co-founder No Reply Games, "but they took it down almost straight away. Many people still view games as 'for children' in spite of the fact that
the average gamer is 30 years old. The gaming establishment is fine with violence and gore but is uncomfortable with sexual themes."

Sounds true to me. I just don't understand what's going through people's heads. We can dismember people's head and watch them bleed from where there head once was, and get a M rating. Have a non-violent game with sex, then it's Adults Only. Pathetic.

"I think it's traditionally a religious mentality, that is that sex is more crude than violence. More fundamental Christians have always demonized sex, but have not historically been that way about violence. They were always okay with burning and stoning heretics. Even though things aren't like this anymore (at least in western culture), that view that sex is dirty, improper or vile has still carried over to the modern day. When you think about it, it really is a bizarre stance. How could it be that a nipple is more offensive? How is it that something we all inherently do or desire be so frowned upon? Something that is fairly harmless too, especially when consensual! We live in really strange society."

I guess my question is why the human body without clothes on is deemed as offensive. What exactly is so mature about the human form that warrant AO rating?

Terrorists Instill Terror. Fun Fact.

Mom takes airplane home Sept 10-11th. We finally figured out why ticket prices are so low that day: Sept 11th. People are so retarded, eating Mcdonalds is riskier for your well being than terrorists, but airlines have to lower prices and planes are not even being filled. Terrorists want to instill terror, and if everybody is so paranoid about this crap that means they've won.

My Taste > Your Taste!

Here's why boy bands like One Direction and people like Justin Bieber get hated on. When it comes to music, males and females are a little different. That's to be expected because our brains work differently. When is the last time you heard a guy proclaiming their love for Taylor Swift (her music, not her body)? There isn't anything wrong with loving a band to death. However, if girls start loving boy bands because the guys are cute and hip and new, not because their music is good, that's bad. I don't care about the physical looks or the personality of the people singing. They can be half mutilated for all I care. I just need to like their music. I'm not encouraging people to HATE on One Direction, I personally find it dumb to hate on bands. People's tastes differ. (How would you feel if a person comes up and says your taste in music is CRAP?) But for the sake of sanity, girls, please stop going ga-ga over one boy band after the other.


My opinion on Bieber: I dislike his music. When your lyrics is 50% "Oh Baby", it annoys me. But if you like it, live and let live.


My opinion on One Direction: It's meh. It's ok.


My opinion on Nicki Minaj: Her lyrics are trash... egotistical and often about drugs or sex or some shit. But if you like it, live and let live.


Just don't come up to me and say classical music, music without lyrics, game music, or Coldplay is CRAP and feel the need to walk up to me and notify me of your superior taste in music.

Mad Billionare

Person: You know what Eric, pretty girls have it pretty hard, too.

Eric: ...Uhh, how?

Person: We intimidate most guys and we're left with only a few guys that chase after us, and some girls end up with crappy guys.

Eric: That's like a billionaire complaining he is rich and all girls want him for his money. Here's a thought. How about the pretty girls grow up and ask some 'intimidated' guys out? I'm pretty sure you girls are quite capable of seeing who would make a retarded boyfriend. You act like shit just happens to you and you're helpless. Wake up, and realize you can CHANGE SHIT if you GROW A PAIR. God gave you looks and you complain. You don't deserve those looks, sister.*

*I may not have said those actual words but that was what I was thinking.

How DARE You Call Me Pretty!

The following messages will include a brutally, almost offensively honest truckload of truth.
------------

Guys = cannot objectify women
Girls = Can talk about all the dirty things they want to do to David Beckham.
HOORAY FOR DOUBLE STANDARDSSS#($*(*&%#(#%&!!!!

You know why females are trained to look nice? Because evolutionary it gets you a mate. That's the way it has been for countless years and continues to be a factor today. But how DARE guys find some females attractive! THEY MUST BE PIGS! That must mean you have sex with pigs then. Ew. So you walk out the door after putting up makeup and wearing those really hot short shorts for what? You come home to meet your loved one... in sweatpants. Face it. You want to look pretty. Consciously or not, you do it because you want the attention.

We live in an age, folks, where women wear shorter shorts than all the shorts made in history of mankind. Females are wearing tons of cleavage, and some of them are saying that it should have absolutely NO effect on anyone. That is quite retarded. God DAMN the guy that faps to a picture of a girl looking coyly at the camera with a truckload of cleavage on display! YOU ARE BEING A HYPOCRITE, SISTER.

In ye' olden days of the caveman and cavewoman, having a sub-par man rape a female is disaster; the female risks death... all for a man that has sub-par genes and may ditch her. This is why females subconsciously are wary of sub-par men giving sexual attention to them. But in order to attract the ideal man, she needs to look beautiful. It was the men that risked their lives to prove their awesomeness, and after that, having women like him is a good thing. Although, contrary to popular belief, we live in 2012 now. You're not really going to die if you have a baby. If a man makes sexually-suggestive comments, the guy is will be cited.

So back to the girl living in 2012 that wears the hot clothing outside. The girl wants the attention. Then they rationalize their wariness by saying men objectify women and are horrible. You know what, guys are human beings to. It's just, many of us are cool with it. So once again to the group of 'feminists' saying men have it all, YOU. SUCK. BALLS.

EVERYBODY JUDGES PEOPLE. EVERYBODY. If I wear the shitty shoes and the not-so-cool shirts and I have a pizza-face type of acne over, trust me, girls, you'd subconsciously (or even consciously, that's fine too) decide you don't really want to get to know me. They say a female judges a man based on the shoes that he wears. That sounds superficial. Because it is. In the cave-dwelling ages, you think the guys and girls have time to chat and socialize with every female and male to figure out which one had the best collective personality? NO, man. NO. A guy sees a very cute looking girl, and is intrigued and walks over to get to know her. THAT'S how it works.

You know why females earn less than males? Because the studies account for average wages. Men are wired to tolerate more risk. This means more fail like idiots trying to start a business, and a select few actually succeed. THAT'S WHY. Nobody is discriminating you. Hell, I know a few guys that WORSHIP females. Women that have no children have higher wages than men. Having a child is YOUR CHOICE, unless you were raped. Unless the average working-female who has a child got raped, something is clearly wrong here. Some feminists are all for 'independence from men and having to have children'. Well, guess what? Given time, a lot of you WANT men, a lot of you WANT children. Way to fight for nothing. Men are statistically more likely to take more risks, meaning more possible gain; they also statistically accept working further from home, more dangerous jobs, etc. (The dangerous jobs going back to risk tolerating.) THAT is why men make more money.

The feminists arguing and bickering and bitching over how UNFAIR life is are really the bane of society. How are we going to move forward with this crap?

...But you know what? MEN like WOMEN. MEN are sexually attracted to WOMEN. WOMEN like MEN. WOMEN are sexually attracted to MEN. (Not counting gays)

It's a funny thing, really. The video shows a tale of two female businesswomen in their 50's. They remember when they visited Italy the men were all coo-coo for them, and they were pissed off. Come age 50, they go back, they are STILL pissed. Because men didn't give two hoots about them.

I'd make my day if you watch the video. It's highly educational, but most importantly, it is a HOLY-MOTHER-OF-GOD-SHINING-BEACON-OF-TRUTH.

Money for Game Money; Conforming

New rant! OH BOY!

"Later on he goes on to explain why humans are willing to spend real-world money on virtual items: they pay to win, whether it's a payment in time or in currency. Some people are "rich" in time where others are "rich" in currency. Anyone who spends more time will also have the skills to back it up, but anyone paying for gear -- which is heavily tied to the hero's abilities -- is
 seemingly no different than a golfer purchasing a nice set of clubs.

"A thousand dollars for a good set of golf clubs gives you the ability to play the game of golf better than someone of equal skill playing with a $10 garage sale set," he writes. "It doesn't automatically make you good, but it helps you get there. And if you love that game, then by all means play your best."

"What people don't realize is that currencies are only a numerical representation of value," he adds. "As soon as there is a collective demand for goods, both virtual and 'real' value is created. Humans developed currencies to represent this value in a tangible way, and to make the exchange of these goods more liquid. When there is collective demand from real people for an item within a game market, the same value is created as anything else in the world, and you can put a number on it. That number can be different depending on the currency you are using to represent the value.""

OMG NO ERIC BUT I'D NEVER SPEND CASH ON A FUCKING GAME! Bro. If time is money, you've just spent your bank's worth. Can I say life is time? You're spending your life grinding away, not having fun in the game to win.

Please don't judge people so quickly.


Side note and slightly related:
For those of you that look down upon those that spend time and effort to look well: I consider it as something that must be worked at to be achieved. Just like studying makes a good student, working out and eating right makes a better looking person. They have different priorities, that's all. Don't look down at every person that doesn't go to college; how is the world going to function if everybody went to Harvard? They just have DIFFERENT PRIORITIES. And that's fine. That's their life.

Whether you like it or not, you ARE influenced by society. Society tells you showering once a day is desirable. Society tells you eating this is good, eating that is disgusting. In other parts of the world, having eggs for breakfast is as disgusting as it gets. Numerous psychological studies back this up; you ARE influenced by society. Don't try to be a "rebel" by saying you don't conform at all, whatsoever, because that makes you a liar. Society tells you what to wear, how to act. In most cases, that's a GOOD thing. Where do you think your standards come from? It's passed down. I call it learning.
