I mean if 100% would be 100 then 50% would be 50 and 60% 60 (the second numbers aren't percents they are an amount), and because 60 is 20% more than 50, wouldn't the 10% be 20%. do you understand what I'm trying to explane?

Ahh, I see what you mean now, but you are still wrong. When you use percentages in the way as meant above, you refer to the entire amount, not to each percentage as an individual amount of matter, only their relation to the entire amount.

What the Hell do you mean? There is a difference between 50 and 60% of 10%. From 0-1 there is 1% and from 0 to 10 there is 10%. It is really quite simple.

Don't try to fight your banananess.

I NEED TO. MY DAD WAS A BANANA AND HE ABUSED ME.

Don't worry, I care mister. :3

I'm sure someone's already said this, but the Vietnam War and American soldiers looking bad wasn't their fault. It was largely a strategy of the Vietnamese to make sure Americans looked bad on TV so that support for troops being there would plummet and soldiers would leave sooner.

So you're saying it didn't happen?

What? No, I'm sure it did but personally I don't have definitive knowledge. I just know that learning about Vietnamese tactics was part of a history class I had.

Well, fine then. But does it really matter if the Vietnamese was trying to lower morale, by showing real footage? I mean, sure, what you just said was relevant if the Vietnamese said things happened which didn't, but if they did happen, it doesn't really matter /why/ it was released.

That's the case with soldiers from pretty much every country though.
Look at the Canadians, for example. In the 1990's, members of the Canadian Airborne Regiment were caught torturing and beating a Somalian teenager to death. A teenager who was in no way involved in hostile actions against Canadian forces.

There are sociopaths everywhere. They aren't specific to any one country, or any one army.

I guess you have a point, which just makes all war bad. Solution found.

But Americans still have a very bad reputation on the matter. Perhaps because they seem to get involved with a lot more affairs. And really, I think they are so full of nationalism (sorry, when you're American it's called patriotism) that they don't have a lot of like for people with different systems than what they're used to. Might just be an idea I have of American soldiers, and I am probably wrong anyway.

More or less sums it up. Bad shit happens in wars all the time, but because America is involved in more wars, and we have a free media, that bad shit gets exposed. Quite frequently. But again, it happens with every country. I challenge you to find any military that hasn't committed a war crime, either accidental or intentional, at some point. And you can't say the Swiss, because that's cheating.

Now, in no way do I think America's perfect. I think we've fucked up a great part of the world, and we deserve the hatred we get from other countries. But it's also worth remembering that not every American supports the actions of our government. The views of a vocal minority do not express the views of a silent majority.

The Swiss.

Otherwise, agreed. But I'm pretty sure this poster refers to the west in general really. North Korea seems to not really like anyone who is not a dictatorship and Asian.

I like how there hasn't been a shitstorm yet.

If there's a shit storm only because people are ignorant because tyraxios statment is true both sides in the korea war and vietnam war were doing the same sick stuff.

Lol, I like how you are being thumbed up for saying I'm right while I'm being thumbed down.

It aint just Americans however

You're welcome :)

like i said. not dicks, just Idiots

That is certainly being dicks in my optic. An idiot is just someone stupid in an intelligence related way, while a dick is someone evil.

They arnt dicks, they are just idiots. requesting the game super meat boy change its name was just down right retarded, and trying to ban pokemon for animal cruelty just shows that they have no idea what they are talking about. i would have had more respect for them if they even watched the show but they didnt. they are just ignorant and self important.
I dont respect any group that tells others how to live their lives. P.E.T.A. is like a cult and in the end they make all vegans come across as raving loonies

I don't reallt give a shit about all their pop-culture "name changing" business. To me, it just seems like a waste of time. I'm talking about their animal shelters. They have animal shelters for abandoned dogs and cats etc. and instead of finding the majority of them homes, they put down an obnoxious number of healthy dogs and cats.

My favorite part of the bible is the one with the gigantic donkey dicks. C:

Our "large trucking company" that we are trying to take over, is a 10 man company owned by my grandpa, whom we re taking it over from, because he can't run it any more. The only people over here, getting fucked over, are us, and anyone living in this school district because they are able to spend money to build two new buildings, but can't buy new books. (I know, different budgets but still)

That was the most ignorant and "I know I lost" reply I have ever heard. You don't wanna spend money on your large trucking company? Sell it, and stop trying to take it over. That was simple. You are NOT being fucked over. You are imagining being oppressed.

What i mean is most vegans think that killing an animal is murder, even though murder is defined as one human killing another. you are one of the first to admit that you dont eat meat because you disagree with the way animals are treated. while i dont share your view, i can respect it.
I will say that PETA is a waste of time. they are full of bullshit and you would be better starting a campaign on your own than joining theirs.
Also Free range food while more expensive are normally not battery farmed or anything like that. you will need to shop around but it is possible to find farms that treat their livestock well

I agree, PETA are some complete doucheheads, however, they are good (and bad, because of their deserved bad reputation) in the way they make veganism more popular in the mainstream.

Duuh, Engineer

Duuh, one

Not necessarily. In order to keep a series fresh and entertaining, you either change the gameplay or the goals of the gameplay each time a new game is released. A WWII setting, in my opinion would've put more of an emphasis on stealth, because at any moment, your opponent could blow you away with a Tommy gun. They wouldn't have had to give the player full access to guns, either, because, let's face it, if you were an assassin, you don't want a bunch of guns weighing you down. Maybe you'd get a single pistol but other than that, you've got your hidden blade, some darts, a short knife, and smoke bombs.

Fuck, that sounds awesome.

True, also people have gotten so used to Assassin's Creed being set during times where guns either didn't exist or couldn't fire more than a single bullet at a time and they feel like anything would be a betrayal to the series.

Yeah. Well, it would be a bit weird, I must admit. They would have to turn the gameplay completely around to half semi- and full automatic guns all of a sudden.

They do pay taxes from the welfares they receive. That's why you hear that they receive this amount of money before and after taxes. However, this shouldn't be a problem, as the fewest of people are on welfares for their whole lives. What else should we do? Put them on the streets the moment they are unemployed?

Alright then, my family is currently trying to take over a fairly large trucking company hauling hazardous materials, from my grandpa. When we take over, we will be put in a different tax bracket and be required to pay more taxes. THEN we will have employees to pay, repairs, compensation, et, al. Given our current housing situation, which is at the corner of Ghetto Ave. and White Trash Highway, we want need to move to a better neighborhood soon. But because of Obama screwing us over on taxes every year, that won't happen for upwards of 5 years. And where is all the money going? To Cindy, the local crack whore. To James, the fat man to lazy to get off the couch. To Tyrone, the gangstah.

All right, listen, you can't complain that you have to pay for whatever trucking company you are interested in getting. That is your own business and no one is forcing you to do that. Also, this new "tax zone" does not make you less rich, you know. Say, if you are in one zone from 10.000 dollars and you have to pay 20% there, and the following zone you have to pay 50%. If you own 11.000 dollars, that does not mean you only have 5.500 dollars, as you pay the taxes depending on the amount of cash you have in each zone. That would just be stupid, and make people want to earn less money.

Btw, the money are going so that people whom SOCIETY ACTUALLY FUCKS OVER (Note, not your middle-class ass that complains about having to play employees for a large trucking company) actually gets paid for pretending to be interested in a job. You know, in order to receive benefits you have to fill in a lot of criteria, and you have to actively look for a job, to a degree which I personally find stupid, because they literally have to apply for jobs they know they can't get.

What about the taxes are going to build the roads, so that your trucking company has something to drive on? How about the taxes are going into gas subsidies, so you can fill your hazardous material trucks with gasoline and transport that material somewhere safer. How about your taxes are going to poor people, people who can't find a job, so that these people do go breaking into your house, killing you and your family and taking all your stuff, because they are to poor to feed themselves?

The roads are shit, HAVE been shit, WILL ALWAYS be shit. The gas in our pumps are bought by us. And what part of "Ghetto" do you not understand? The closest we have had to someone breaking into our house was some faggot trying to sell crystal meth.

those aren't the taxes being adjusted though

I think they tried to do that at one point, but fans started complaining about how that would ruin the series. Honestly, at some point, there was a rumor that AC3 was going to be set during WWII and with a female protagonist. I was actually looking forward to seeing that

That would actually have been really interesting! But I could imagine people raging over that. People seem to be tied a lot more emotionally to WWII than to just about any other piece of human history, no matter how violent.

I'm a vegan, but just because I want to be, I don't really care about the pigs and stuff.
But it'd be nice if they didn't have to be killed or whatever, but I think even people who eat meat agree with that.

Don't they already have vegan bacon?
I have heard of something that people call "fakon" (fake bacon). They say it doesn't taste as good though..

Not sure if it's the same.

We do, but apparently it is not appealing to omnivores as they continue to eat meat. Hopefully this can enter the mainstream properly.

not the same. its made from soy

Finally a Vegan that isnt a daft fucking hippy. I dont need to go in to how animals eat other animals. Thankfully in England most of our farming is done on fair trade and with higher standards for livestock.

Just because animals are treated better here in England does not mean they are treated acceptably. And also what do you mean? Although not daft I am certainly a hippie!

What i mean is most vegans think that killing an animal is murder, even though murder is defined as one human killing another. you are one of the first to admit that you dont eat meat because you disagree with the way animals are treated. while i dont share your view, i can respect it.

First of, they are not treated humanely. If you honestly believe so, then stop eating meat, because that is wrong. Also, humans aren't omnivorous. Ever wondered why we don't eat raw meat?

green thumbs for honest opinions and facts

"I'm a vegan..."

Sure was hard for you, wasn't it?

Fuk u fggit fite me IRL i'll kill u kid.

No u.

I win.
