HERESY

[smeghead25]

I think Hitler was right about many things.

You can't completely discredit the man. He did take triple digit inflation and made a working economy out of it.

Sure, when you're willing to exterminate your own population and build an army to conquer the entire world, you can really cut down on unemployment.

The killing of Jews, gypsies, homosexuals, mentally and physically handicapped, and the political nay sayers came later. He first got a war torn country to believe in themselves and find a mutual enemy; the powerful and rich Jews that "profited from the war". Can you really say that we (the US) did anything different with Muslims after 9-11?

Yes, yes I can. You don't see the entire Muslim population of the US in concentration camps, nor do you see us rampaging through every Muslim country slaughtering them mercilessly. Nor has every Mosque in the US been burned to the ground... Thats really an extreme comparison route to take my friend.

There have been quite a few Mosque attacks on American soil. I have heard enough of the armed soldiers brag about how they are going to go oversees and kill so many [racial slur]s. Also, I have seen two Saudi Arabian friends of mine taken from class based on rumors that there were "questionable Muslims" on the campus. This is how it starts, and it was (checks history books) 19 years from when Hitler was in the anti-semitic "classes" to when the executions first started.

However, maybe we didn't go as far because we saw what it could do and were afraid of it? But that sort of idea is more for the Religion and Politics board.

Successful troll was successful.

You know what's Heresy?

XENO-LOVE!

Warhammer 40k, obviously. HERETIC!! Wait until I get the Ordo Xenos on your ass, I'm in tight with them.

No, i'm referring to a rather funny short comic strip posted on DevientArt. It depicts, perhaps Ordo Xenos, decrying everything as heresy, including xeno-love, which made me laugh.

If anyone can find this image it will be appreciated.

I think Kottick is a pretty cool guy, eh kills logic and doesn't afraid of anything.

I think the best way to throw your life in the gutters is to have children.

I agree

not really, Hitler may have been the greatest asshole to have ever lived in our world, yes, as a human, he was incredibly terrible, but as a president (or leader of a nation, for that matter), he was almost flawless

He was terribly flawed. Seriously. He ran a dictatorship that barely lasted 15 years, think about this, most dictators in the world today have hung on for 20+ years, and they won their wars.
Also, his ridiculously flawed tactical acumen lost Germany the war on 4 different fronts. Think about that, getting your ass kicked 4 seperate times, because he was such an asshole and held the country so tightly by the balls that experienced military commanders with decades of experience under their belts had to listen to a sick old man, cranked up on methamphetamines all day. I don't know if you're just a dumb teenager without subjective wisdom, or some sort of pathetic neo-nazi, but if you read history, you'd know that throughout it's reign, the Third Reich was a bloated, corrupt, ineffecient behemoth of a government, fueled by fear and murder.
I don't particularly hate Nazis btw I'm fairly ambivalent concerning them. WWII did change the entire world for the better, and all because of Hitler's insanity, but quit kissing the guy's ass. History recorded on both sides blatantly shows just how shitty and ineffective the Third Reich ended up being in the long run. An effective and capable leader can generally implement and run a governement for more than the handful of years that Hitler had to totally fuck things up. Germany was a hundred times worse off after WWII than before.

I hate Gears of War.

gotta admit, even though some posts feel like bullshit to the nerd eye (as my roommate can attest, *NOT ME*), I never thought this thread would take off like this

I mean, I never thought so many users would participate in such a silly thread =P

one free internet awarded to each user in this thread, and the cookies are still in the oven, so you will have to wait

I hated district 9. Hated it.

HERETIC!!!

Ocarina of Time is the WORST 3D Zelda game. And Wind Waker is the best. Link to the Past beats them all, though.

i love you

Its not like bigotry is a new thing. Also our leaders aren't promoting the hatred of Muslims, not even GWB did that. Rather it was directed towards a specific group "Terrorists" or "Extremist Muslims". How some people in the American public have reacted to the situation isn't the same as how Germany reacted to Jews. Different times, different situations.
Here's a scenario for you of an overreaction: Columbine. I had just graduated high school but most of my friends were still in High School. We all were part of a group called EvilCON because that was the name of our afterschool LAN parties, and we had t-shirts printed up that had a quasi-quote from A Clockwork Orange (one of our favorite movies) "Preparing for the ULTRA-Violence" and the like we were also a Counterstrike clan that went to many tournaments in FL. I still went to the school to help out with the drama class because the teacher and I were good friends. Then Columbine happened and all of my friends were rounded up and told they weren't allowed to hang out anymore, that they couldn't wear the T-shirts to school and even had downloaded our website and had the school lawyer present telling us they "knew our plans" as if we were all violent psychopaths bent on killing everyone in the school. All because of a gross overreaction by the media over the idiots in Columbine and the fact that we fit the visual stereotype. Nevermind that most of us never had owned or even fired a weapon. I also was banned from school grounds because of that.
On the bright side, we did get a little bit of media attention (an article blurb in the New York Times, A&E sent a camera crew to interview a few of us though I think we got shafted on the A&E special since they put a few harmless gamers in-between kids who thought they were vampires and satanic cult kids who murdered their parents....).

Sorry for the long off-topic post. I promise not to teal deer anymore.

I hate Borderlands, it was extremly boring and terrible.

 

[Bilbo536]

I once accidentally pushed my friends cake out of his hand.
I was devastated, since my religion is selfmade, and centered about cake.

Your religion is based on lies.

OT: I haven't finished any Indiana Jones movie except for the 4th (which sucked)
Never played Fallout 1 or 2
Loved Other M
Had fun with huperman 64 when I first played it
Hate the Beatles
Liked the new Star Wars episodes better than the old
Never liked Starcraft

That's all I can tink of at the moment.

 

[Adventurer2626]

I...I...don't know if I can say it. I...*sigh* okay, I'll just do it. I...dumped half a bottle of Mt. Dew down the drain. *bawls eyes out* It just was so warm and flat but it was still Mt. Dew. Maybe I did the right thing, I don't know. I just couldn't enjoy it anymore and I couldn't bear to see it in such condition so...so...waaaaaaaaaaaahhhhh! I'm not worthy!
*5 minutes later*

I used one of those pocket bibles that annoying curbside evangelists hand out to prop up my old monitor.
I liked the Inheritance series.
I don't think this qualifies as heresy for most of the Escapist community but I disapprove of culture's new focus on getting laid with as many people as possible and being disrespectful to be cool. Needless to say I audibly groan whenever "MTV" is turned on. The only music left there is the swan song of morality. I also mourn G4's RealityTV-washing. It used to be about the tech, man, about the tech!
I think Math is fun.
So is History except when you have to memorize dates.
I didn't watch the Godfather until I was 22.
Parties (in the college/frat-boy context) are not fun. Woo! Let's get drunk of our asses and make bad decisions!
I'm a 100% hetero male and I like Jordin Sparks' One Step At a Time.
I'd prefer a cute flesh and blood female to a perfect looking android. Megan Fox is a perfect example of why.
I like Coldplay better than Radiohead.
I don't like steak.
It's hip to be square.

Edit: Thanks for the reminder, I forgot that I really don't get Watchmen and find it rather blah.

 

[Thamux]

Heresy? Doesnt heresy grow from idleness?!!

Anyways, I hate WoW, tried it for 1hr before got completely bored and bashed my head against my desk

 

[Pyro Paul]

I stopped my friend from committing suicide.

 

[Ciartan]

I really don't like Star Wars. And everything that's associated with it. And I hate Star Trek.
I think Halo (1, 3 and Reach) is much more fun than Team Fortress 2.
I can't think of many more such heresies right now.

i agree with you (with the halo thing not star wars, wtf is wrong with you?), i also really hate what team fortress 2 has become, i liked it before but now its just shit imo.

I'm sorry, but this so deserves a WTF? Do you know what heresy is? Unless you're part of some Kali-worshipping death cult or something, I've completely missed the point here.

maybe his friend is Bobby Kotick (ah Kotick, never get tired of picking on him)

 

[Durgiun]

I couldn't care less about V for Vendetta the comic because the movie was better in terms of pacing.

 

[trophykiller]

I HATE world of warcraft. It's easily one of the dumbest, dullest, most vomitrocious games i've ever played and is inferior to many other RPGs in every way.

i think walmart is ok as long as you are armed and don't use the bathrooms(no weapon will save you from the horrors you'll find)

i think if they gave master chief emotions beyond "nice kill" or "i wish cortana had a physical body" would make the game unbelievable and stupid due to the fact that he's trained his whole life to kill. proof: other m.

i prefer tuarantulas and/or dogs to kittens.
