Seriously, I want to know. I keep getting modded for stuff that many users have done in the past, and now I got locked for making a "the most disturbing thing you've ever seen/heard/read" when not too long ago, there was a 100-post topic about the same thing, I got modded for saying(and using * for) the f-word, when I could not too long ago. I want to know, because I really don't get why I'm getting modded for stuff I could do VERY recently.

Oh no...no...no...

now, what is it that has disturbed me today?

edgar allan poe's the black cat....

today.....i had to do something my mom found on pbs's teachers site about edgar allan poe. all i had to do was look at an interactive timeline of his life, but i went on and saw what else was on...they had a reading of the black cat....

i looked at it.

i wasn't even done with it when i stopped.

i have never been so disturbed inside from anything like this, not even the worst nightmare.

i hope poe is in hell, for his character in the story is a monster and....

i don't know if it's because i've never read anything like this before. i don't. all i can hope for is that church tonight will end the suffering the story has wrought on my mind, my life, my soul.

i will never read anything by poe unless forced again.

Hello, everybody on GS. Recently, as in tonight, I discovered a little....OH FORGET IT, a huge DAMN WAR that nearly consumed YouTube alive in the latter half of 2007. It was known as the YouTube Furry War.

But what is a furry? It's a fan of, oh, to put it simply, animals with human characteristics(Sonic, anyone from Star Fox, Yoshi, etc.), and many have made fan art, wear outfits of said animal type, and go to conventions. Now, if we were to describe furries as fans of human-like animals, but still have normal lives, I would be considered one.

However, there's a certain part of furry fans that took the fandom way too far.

How?

THEY LITTERED THE WHOLE DAMN INTERNET WITH PICTURES OF FURRY ANIMALS PARTAKING IN SEX, OR SHOWING SOMEONE NAKED, WHENEVER IT'S A FANMADE CHARACTER OR AN REGONIZABLE ONE, and Krystal from Star Fox is a particular target of this.

Unfortunatly, thanks to media coverage of that percentage, people thought furries were only that of said sick-headed people, hence the amount of trolls that starting bashing furries on YouTube, wait, the WHOLE FREAKING INTERNET, in any way they could.

Now, you know how the normal furries would respond to that.

Unfortunatly, they took it to a verbal smackdown of epic fail. Really epic. Beyond epic. /b/ epic. YouTube-on-its-bad-side epic.

Now, what's my message to everyone who did this little war?

GET A F***ING LIFE, YOU TOOK THIS WAR TOO FAR, IF THIS IS THE BEST YOU CAN DO WITH YOUR FREAKING INTERNET TIME, I FREAKING WISH I COULD COME OVER THERE AND SMASH ALL YOUR F***ING COMPUTERS, SO THAT THE INTERNET COULD BE AT LEAST A LITTLE BETTER, AND DO YOU REALLY NEED TO BASH FURRIES/TROLLS(that's the "term" for furry bashers) SO DAMN MUCH THAT YOU NEED TO FILL YOUTUBE WITH THIS CRAP FOR SIX FREAKING, FREAKING MONTHS??? IS THAT HOW LOW YOU'RE HONESTLY WILLING TO GO? FORGET WISHING TO SMASH YOUR PC, I'M GOING TO DO IT NOW. AND DON'T THINK I'M DONE WITH MY INSULTS, IT'S THAT GS WOULD BAN ME IF I SAID EVERYTHING I WANTED TO SAY.

P.S. If I get banned for this, I'll be back as ChrisSpartan117.

Oh God, this has been a bad week for me on GS. I made so many failed topics, like You Laugh You Lose: Religious Arguements Edition, 2nd Video Edition, and "Say Something Sigworthy." This reminds me of when I first joined GS, I failed so much when, on the GameCube forums, at age 12, keep that in mind, I FREAKING SAID A MARIO PARTY GAME WOULD BE THE BEST GC GAME EVER. Now, it's obvious I suck hard when it comes to TCing. Maybe I should just post news stories from now on, for God's sake.

On another note, I got a new ESV Bible earlier this (currently) long month of April. I really like it, it's easy to get.

You have done the impossible and really p***ed me off more than religion wars, politics, and the ignorance of System Wars. You are responsible for the riots that have only begun on the Internet, and do nothing but close the GS forums. You will soon be plauged by international coverage of this unspeakable act of firing Jeff because he gave his honest opinion of Kane & Lynch and you're the reason why businesses are hated, since they do nothing more than rip off people by purchasing a piece of unfinished crap. Good day, GS, and you fail at life and the Internet.

I feel like this must be done....I got this idea after such a sadistic dream, if you want to know about it, PM me.

Death Of A Butterfly:A Poem of Broken Beauty

A spring day, ripe for life

Flowers bloom from soaking thesunlight

Animals and humans alike enjoying the day in the meadow

Butterflies fly to and fro

With beauty unlike anything else

Peaceful and light, quick to move

Delighting the spectators watching its movemets

Yet a day took place

When death had to do its evil

An evil I hate so much

An evil I will delight in when its defeated

With a young beauty

Moving and living, delighting the earth

Yet it didn't know

That a creature was after it

Death was waiting to do its work

I watched it all and hated it

Only sadistic people would delight in it

It was resting in a flower

I spotted it and studied it thirty feet away

It was curious about me

Then I spotted it

A gun of a man

Deciding in target practice

I knew what his next target would be

I shouted so loudly:

"Don't Shoot! Don't shoot!"

Was he even listening

Was I being ignored like before on that dark night of sadistic evil

Three butterflies having an early grave

A night that will haunt me forever

It was.

Seconds later, a grave was made

By the debree of the flower

For God's greatest gift of beauty through an animal

The man was soon surronded

By the angeriest crowd possible there

He was soon gone

I didn't miss him

All I cared about is the grave that was made with a side of a bullet in under a second

Tourists mourned at the site

So did I.

End

I felt like doing this for so long, two months after that dream.....rate if you want, I just want to do this poem before it disappers like so many thoughts in my life.

As some of you can tell, I changed my sig a bit. I thought it was time for something new, so I did the changes you see now. What's your opinion?

A few months ago, I found via PM this little near-one hour video. Now, I know some people may think its Creation-biased at the beginning, but I really liked how this video kept answering so many questions one may ask little by little. Give it a chance if you want.

The Time, Bucks, and Saturday Mouring Hours We Lost We Can't Get Back

Last Saturday, I woke up, suffering a cold, and going out into the kitchen in my house, eating breakfast with everyone in my family. My almost-5-year-old brother was watching the 4Kids lineup on Fox on TV. My brother is now in a dinosaur phrase,by that I mean liking near everything invovling dinosaurs, and I heard something about a show called "King Dinosaur" from him. Of course, I didn't think about it. I was eating some bacon, I think, when my brother started talking to my dad about what he was seeing, and I recalled hearing about some dinosaur card. Then both my parents studied the TV, and my mom said, I think, "Wait, this is King Dinosaur?" And later, "This is just another Yu-Gi-Oh."I used my hand to hide what was on the TV, and went to my bed. And I heard her compare it to Pokemon because of the characters.

Now, you may wonder why I did this. Well, the same company who made "King Dinosaur", 4Kids Entertainment, dubbed a Japanese show called Yu-Gi-Oh. This was a game that I think was a fad for the years 2003-2004, maybe 2005, and for those years I was a part of it. I had my mom bought the starter packs, booster packs, I watched the anime(yes,the 4Kids dub), and even tried to play a video game RPG based off of the game. Please note that I had to have my mom buy it all since even now I'm not old enough to get a part-time job.

Now when I look back, I think why did I play this game, why did I get so many booster packs, and why did I watch the anime. I'm sure I'm not the only one.

Wait, Card Games Have a Past?

It doesn't take a person who studies these card games that Yu-Gi-Oh isn't the only card game in the market. I think everybody knows that baseball card games were popular for a time, then I think it was comic book cards. Heck, I remember in late 2006 when they tried to revive comic card games via video game/card game systems. After that, starting in either the 80's or 90's, I think, mystical themes started to get into card games via Dungeons and Dragons. These were popular for a time, then they became part of the Internet's, or even the world's, list of things spoofed and made fun of often.

Then, in the 90's, I remember that Pokemon card game. Oh. boy, this got a lot of people playing. I never played it, but while I was a kid, I wanted to. I think that lasted for a while. And after that long fad, it was 2003. You know what to expect here. Seriously, how many Yu-Gi-Oh booster packs did I make my mom spend a handful of bucks on? And this was just the opening wave of Japanese card games to flood the game market.

Yet Another Budget Bump

Now, I understand these games can be fun. I still remember some good times I got out of that Yu-Gi-Oh card game. And I understand the good parts of card games. Yu-Gi-Oh's manual tells the players to show manners before a game, and Yu-Gi-Oh requires some math use. But there's a linebetween fun and near impossible-to-break-without-help obession these games can cause. That's the point of this blog post.

At Last, We Get To The Point

So, how are these games possible to get addicted to? There's more than one way. I'll use this part to say the reasons.

In my opinion, card games are set up so that it takes a lot of time to play them, like around 30 minutes or more, especially with games like Yu-Gi-Oh. If someone likes a card game so much that he/she decides to play multiple card games in one day, that's the beginning of addiction. Also, I find that if some new kinds of booster packs are released, it can help fuel the desire to play the card game longer, and the money can be spent on these booster packs can be huge.

But the most deadly thing concerning addiction is something games like Pokemon and Yu-Gi-Oh worked so well on. It can helphaving people just wanting to play the game in the first place, or want that certain card that takes many booster packs and/or eBaying to get.

Anime/cartoons.

Yes, even with a company like 4Kids.

It's what got me into Yu-Gi-Oh in the first place. It did the same for many in other card games. It can do so much, I think some people underestimate its power of addicting people. This is one I really think can be the most deadly.

This is the End of This Rant, My Friend

Yes, I know this could have been better written. Yes, I know this really could be nothing more than a better-than-normal rant. But I just am tired of these card games, and that's why I made this post. I just want to get my opinion out here on GameSpot. I hope you enjoyed it. Please leave comments for your opinion on my writing. I would like it a lot.

Someone has been messing with my Gamespot account....I know it. I sense it. OK, so I know the PC I'm using has a virus. But for some reason, my recent posts won't show up, my inbox says I have PMs but it's empty, and it will log me in, even though I didn't.

Oh, and on a side note:I'm moving to Texas or someone near Texas! My dad just got a field job by his company at Texas, and so I'm moving in about two months.
