[QUOTE="twitchmonkey399"]It seems few people have been mentioning the effect the death penalty has on the people's minds. People will not as readily commit heinous offenses if they know they will lose their lives if they are caught.GabuEx

Then explain this picture, which I produced earlier in this thread

The concept of the death penalty has been around for as long as human civilization has been. Now how do you figure it's been any deterrent?

*Assuming this isn't a joke*

The father overstepped, but suing him for such a frivolous act of immaturity is absurd. Could you get something out of it? Probably. Should you make an ass out of yourself and try? Your decision.

As a side note, soldiers are just doing their job, a dangerous job at that. They were sent without being asked their opinion on the war and without being asked whether or not they would like to go. You should take up your disagreement with the people behind starting the war. To take it to the troops that are just doing their job is out of place, irrational, and unjust.

Support out troops.

Which, by the way, doesn't mean you have support what their orders entail.

Don't you have something better to do?

Who cares about reviews anyways? They are all corrupted and the score is influenced by how much hype it got and how much money the reviewer get. Just go after user-opinions instead, and this time it looks like the consumers find it as a solid 8.0 title.

EDIT: Ok maybe they are not all "corrupted" per se. But if this game gets 6.5 and another, more crappier game gets a higher score, you get pretty confused. Most reviews lacks "consistency" in the sense that the scores do not relate to other games.

Maybe the "more crappier" game is not "more crappier" to the reviewer?

Also, what do you mean by the "scores do not relate to other games?"

yea I know but the guys here are blowing it out of proportion.

Im a big follower for the bitbag and his shows comes out every sunday, I watch it every week, there are some big pro-sony talk that get annoying but if you get past that, he actually provide some interesting interviews, news and rumors, sometimes his source is weak so he is wrong, but there are alot of times rumors that comes true and he mention them in detail.

as for the video article he provides, it's just like video editorials, so it's always his opinion and mostly pro-sony, I don't see them because it gets annoying sometimes.

But to be fair, it's his opinion and he is entitled to them and I see him as the only guy in the industry who is pro-sony like that, I watched and listened to alot of pro-microsoft guys in the industry and I didn't see the same amount of hate towards them, Im not saying people should hate them as much as HHG, I don't care for that **** and I don't mind it at all, but Im saying people should really let journalists do whatever they do and say whatever they wanna say , thats their opinion even if it is extreme.

Look at Jim sterling, he just squashed heavy rain with his review and then scored deadly premonition a 10 out of 10, I remember people say that he is entitled to his own opinion and he should do whatever he wants to do, that guy is crazy sob for doing something like that, I got pissed off at first because heavy Rain to me was more important than MGS4 and alot of other games but I get passed that and said whatever, that was his extreme opinion.

If you listen to HHG's Bungie video, it doesn't have anything to do with the title, his title was really wrong, thats all, most of what he said in that video is his feeling towards Halo as a franchise and alot of people feel the same way, maybe he went pro-sony too but I think there was truth to what he said so whats so wrong to have an opinion? I really didn't mind him saying what he said but the title of that video article what made no sense.

HAZE-Unit

He didn't lie.

It is a video article which means editorial and editorials means that it is his feelings or his own opinions so when people click on his "vidicle" they supposed to know that everything written or told is an opinion and not a fact.

So when he said Bungieadmits, he didn't lie, that's his feelings towards the Bungie comment on their inspiration, as simple as that.

I don't agree with his "feelings" and "opinions" on the matter but calling him a liar for expressing his opinion isn't a lie, he doesn't have to say "I feel" or "in my opinion" in every goddamn sentence when he clearly submit these as video articles.

I succumbed to the "but it's Halo" mentality and bought Halo 3. I haven't and won't succumb again. I'd still like to know how ODST got a 9, with a 4 hour campaign and a mostly regurgitated MP.Deathtransit
