Runescape has been around forever.

Frankly, all RPGS/MMO/WTF eat anus bar.

I hate this guy who used to be on here called SligSlinger. God, what a bastard.

Sekto Springs 04-21-2006 08:41 AM

Yeah, he was a total bastard. I really hate him.

Cloverfield 04-21-2006 06:40 PM

I like RPGs. :) Although I think I'm the only FF fan on here. *sigh*

But MMORPGs. Blegh. Even FFXI.

Which reminds me of idiotic people who spend hundereds of "real" money to gain "in game" money. Is their character that important to them? Ididots.

I get the feeling you don't like me or my lifestyle, Hobo. If your little mind has got a problem with anything I do... then go bother someone who cares. And since you won't find those people here, I suggest you re-instate the reality of your signature and get out of here once again.

EDIT: Oooh, a really sodding annoying one… I hate when my mummy dearest peers over my shoulder to inspect what I'm doing on the computer screen. I don't eavesdrop on her telephone conversations or follow her to work, damnit. I'm using the computer as escapism from you, evil nosey lady!

Yes, I would hate it it if my mother did that to me, but she doesn't. So meh.

I hate traitors... you know, the common ass pirate who even when he says he's apologizing but does more yelling than showing the feeling of guilt.

I shall say no more!

T-nex 04-23-2006 01:38 AM

OMG!! That mom.thing. It happened everytime when i had my PC in the living room. When i was chatting to someone she would ask who he was and stuff. I got sooo annoyed :S
Now i have my laptop ion my room... Finally i can get some peace -_-

Munch's Master 04-23-2006 07:10 AM

Fortunately I don't have the nosy mom trouble, she for some strange reason trusts me with whatever I'm doing on the computer.
And seeing as I went to the cinema today, I have a new addition:
People who are really loud at the cinema or theatre. Throughout the film, there was this woman along the row who at totally inappropriate times would burst into deafening laughter. I swear, people outside the building could probably hear her.

Bullet Magnet 04-23-2006 07:28 AM

When companies use bad science in advertisements. I can't stand it!

There's one for Cleanex, which states that it "kills 99.9% of all known cold and flu viruses"

YOU CAN'T KILL VIRUSES! THEY'RE NOT ALIVE IN THE FIRST PLACE!

Sorry, but it just really bugs me. And the use of studies and statistics in commercials. "4 out of 5" "3 out of 4" "8 out of 10 cats!" Those are obviously made up on the spot! As long as they don't give 100% then you can't possibly prove them wrong if you come into that minor percentage, but they are clearly made up. And then they go and say "scientifically proven". I for one, [I]know[/] that these people, like many others, do not understand what it means to scientifically prove something. You cannot prove and theory, only disprove it. A theory only counts scientifically when there is evidence to support it, and untill there is evidence to diprove it, which they practically admit to when they list their statistics as not having a 100% success rate. And then they don't even show the evidence, they just give us their "findings". Aaaargh!

There's is a Buddhist saying: "Take nobody's word for it". I take it to heart.

AquaticAmbi 04-23-2006 08:31 AM

Ohh, that "scientifically proven" BS gets me too. They'll use a single well-known fact that even a freshman in high school Biology I classes know and totally take it out of context and exaggerate everything.

But by the way, you may not be able to "kill" viruses because they're not considered living, but you can "destroy" it... like the Kleenex stuff does. :p [/smartypants]

Now those piss me off :p

SeaRex 04-23-2006 11:46 AM

Statistics in general piss me off, because they can be misconstrued and manipulated in so many subtle (and sometimes not-so-subtle) ways to prove practically any outcome.

Damn lurking variables and shifty, corrupt poll-takers.

Sekto Springs 04-23-2006 06:23 PM

Yeah. You youth and your Postman Pat, and you're talk radio, and Will Smith, and yer... jhodpurs.

Stop bashing Jackson. You all do it for the same reason you bash Bush, because everyone else does it. It's not even laughable anymore (not that Family Guy has a fucking clue :dodgy: )

Havoc 04-24-2006 02:25 AM

I know why people bash on Bush (BASH THE BUSH! BASH THE BUSH) simply because it's a factual fact (I just made that term up, you better use it) that he IS an idiot.

People bashing on Jackson is stupid because they have no reason for doing so. None of us knows what the hell happened in the guys house with that kid. None of us knows wether or not the parents are in this for the money and none of us knows exactly what evidence was presented to the court. The court does know this and they set him free on ALL charges. I don't think it's up to any f*cking one to tell a court and a jury that they are wrong while you don't know jack shit.

There, just wanted to vent that. I don't like Micheal, he is a freakshow IMO and I don't realy like his music, but no-one should go trough what that guy went trough. Well... maybe a handfull of people, but yea.

EDIT: So thats another thing that pissed me off, people who are making judgements on stuff they don't know anything about.

Nate 04-24-2006 05:30 AM

Strictly speaking, the court found Jackson not guilty because the kid's parents were money-hungry whores who only wanted to blackmail him. They changed their story about ten times. And the first case back in the early 90's never went to court because Jacko paid out that family.

Now, how does that help Used? Try and be a little less demeaning (and stop jumping to conclusions) and we'll all get along better.

On the topic of misleading terms in advertisments, I can't stand Current Affairs shows that either a) Make up a story out of nothing or b) Decide what their story is before they actually know anything and do everything in their power to convince their audiences to believe their own bullshit opinions.

Munch's Master 04-24-2006 09:55 AM

On this Jackson/Bush bashing issue, I'll reiterae what Havoc said in regards to Bush-He is a fool who shouldn't be anywhere near a governemnt position. I will also say, I have never bashed Jackson, sure he is a bit weird,and I;m not a fan of him, but I've never bashed him and I think the hard stuff he goes through probably is undeserving (Unless the pedophilia rumours that are supposedly true turn out to really be fact, in which case I retract my statement)

Sekto Springs 04-24-2006 09:57 AM

That's exactly what I mean, Havoc. People berate Bush because he's an idiot, but they don't actually know why he's an idiot. I hate Bush as much as the next guy, don't get me wrong, but at least I can give several reasons why.

Havoc 04-24-2006 10:40 AM

Iraq, thats one of a million reasons. I think a lot of people have their own reasons to hate the guy. But just as many people just follow what they hear.

OANST 04-24-2006 11:16 AM

I think we have out grown the need for the electoral college. Time to get rid of it.

Bullet Magnet 04-24-2006 12:19 PM

George W Bush's IQ is four points above that of the smartest Gorilla. Fact.

I got some more of my pet hates. This is my favourite one. I once saw on a bottle of hay fever nasal spray the disclaimer: Side effects include mild sneezing.

Huh?

It says it all really. I just cannot begin to express my… Aaargh!

Another one went just completely over the top. A skin cream, being sold on the Internet used a twisted barrage of scientific bullshit to try to sell it. There are many such products on the Internet, and they are so obvious it's a wonder anyone actually buys them.

It started by making the ridiculous claim that the world's oxygen levels were rapidly decreasing in the modern age. Excuse me? The world's oxygen levels have remained at a stable 21% of the atmosphere for the pass 3.5 BILLION years. It then went on to erroneously state that the skin needs to breathe oxygen to remain healthy. For those of you currently unaware, we are NOT amphibians, and as such do not use our skin for gaseous exchange. We have our lungs for that, and besides, for it to be true we would have to keep our skin moist 24/7. It was once believed that you needed your skin exposed to the air to survive, and this can be seen in the ridiculous, if classic, James Bond scene where someone is condemned to death by being painted with gold (I'm sure someone can remind me of the film and the scene). Of course, gold is poisonous, and blocking off the pours can do funny things to your body by preventing perspiration. But the real deal with the advertisement, is its "patented use of liquid oxygen" in the cream to deliver it directly to the skin. It also states that no other product uses liquid oxygen. I'm not surprised, I certainly would not want to apply anything at -183 degrees C to my skin.

It just really bugs me that these people think we are that stupid, and it REALLY pisses me off when I realise that some people actually are!

Oh, for the love of Odd.

As much as I dislike our little retarded monkey of a President, that fact can be misleading. If you look at a map that shows the cities/counties/something that voted for Bush and the ones that voted for Gore, you'll see that many, many, many more voted for Bush. Gore was stupid and only concentrated on campaigning in heavily-populated states. He didn't even visit his home state (Tennessee)--not even once--but Bush campained here numerous times (I don't remember the number, but it was more than I would have guessed).

So if the population vote was all that was used, it's quite possible that all the future candidates would try to only concentrate on large cities and basically neglect everywhere else. So yeah... we need the electorial college for fair representation.

OANST 04-24-2006 01:23 PM

This is true. The only problem that I have with the electoral college is that they do not have to vote the way that the people vote. In essence, your vote doesn't HAVE to count. Normally it does count. But it doesn't have to.

I don't see how the Electoral College can give us fair representation, especially from some states with a population of 500,000 people or something.

The whole political structure pisses me off. I have no idea how Bush is still in power, with all of the lying and war mongering he's done throughout his career and also with trying to hand our sea ports off to another nation in the most unstable region of the world. Will somebody please give Bush a blow job so we can impeach him already?

Eh, I'm terrible at explaining these things, but I'll try. The higher populated states do get one or two more votes in the electorial college, but that's okay. It's better for an area to have a few more votes compared to some other, lowly populated states than it would be for the actual populations of each state to vote. The differences of votes by the tens isn't as overwhelming as votes by the thousands, millions, etc. Of course the states with millions of people would always win. But with the representation voting, the lower populated states have more of a chance.
