While I know who both Nietzsche and Sartre were and what their ideas are but I don't really see what you want to get through. Are you calling oldboxers for hypocrites? That or them being oh so smug now when PSN is down.
I do wonder however what their views on these so-called human "rights" are. I think I'll go with Geroge Carlins example where he says that there's no such thing as human rights. It's merely a noble concept that humans have made up. There's nothing stopping you beting someone in a dark corner, merely consequences afterwards. It should be called "Human Privildges in modern society".

Where did you get that idea? The post has nothing to do with it.believer258 said:
OP: I approve. XD
Your network is next. (I called it. I mean, PSN is just another attack in recent spate of them on networks that store credit card info online.)bdcjacko said:
Buuuut yeah I don't swing either way. I'm bi-consolual.
OP: Whhaaaaaaaaaaaa-?! D: My mind = Blown.
I'm sorry mighty smart man person, but i iz too dum too see wat u did thar.
Now enjoy your fine-tasting wine, adjust your monocle and stroke your beard while you think about how much smarter you are than me. Perhaps later you can read more 100000 page books about quantum theories to amuse your intelligence.

Quoted for truth. Not everything is a personal attack. I personally found this thread to be quite amusing and I have no problems with any console or console fan-base. Also, I'm with the fellow who thinks he's just making it up as he goes.Generic Gamer said:
I am uncertain why you feel a person cannot divided against themselves. Could you give specific citations or quotes from the text to bolster your claims so that they aren't just baseless, possibly plagarised, statements of opinion? If you are going to ask for a literary analysis the least you could do would be to point out the tracts upon which your opinion is based. Without this we are free to assume that you just copy pasted this from somewhere else. Basically I want to slap a giant "Citation Needed" sticker on your first post.Azrael the Cat said:
If, however, this was a non-serious topic posted to create humour through the juxtaposition of a provocative title and a serious OP then this is only adding fuel for the fire rather than creating the parody that you so desired. Reading people's posts it seems that they feel the underlying implication of your post is that you are saying "xbox fanboys are so dumb that they won't know what I'm talking about and we can all guffaw at them"
As an aside Nietzsche's work is considered to have been altered without his permission by his sister upon his death to better suit a national socialist viewpoint while Jean-Paul Satre influences Marxism.
Consider this a social experament. Just how many people ignore the OP and jump straight to responding?The_root_of_all_evil said:

LLOL. To differentiate from standard LOL, which is 1) A blight on the english language, and 2) in no way indicative that the user is in fact laughing.The_root_of_all_evil said:
OT: So nihilism suggests an ultimate lack of purpose to life? That doesn't preclude the idea of self-deception as a...
That was much longer, but apparently I'm confusing moral nihilism with ethical subjectivism and moral relativity. Never mind.
While I do appreciate your sense of humor, I wouldn't abuse the joke because you're going to get the banning song.
Note* Yes, you can use the song for further worth-banning users. I'll even give you a tip: It's great for people who start flame-wars.

Typical Sony fanboy fail. I hear this all the time from you guys in the forums, and it makes me sick. Of course Sartre is working from nihilism, just as Nietzsche before him, but it doesn't presuppose that all nihilism is identical: Like it is simply swapped from one place to another like one of your guys' crappy ports. Nietzsche, especially, is writing in response to a nihilism he witnesses in the world - one more monstrous than anything he could dream up himself. It's a response to an absence - like you guys must do every time you remember when Sony ditched Dualshock for Sixaxis, lol.
So on to "bad faith." This isn't necessarily ethical, but it is moral in an Aristotelian sense, and you guys would get that if you played anything that came out before the Playstation 1. It is concerned with authentic behavior, and in Sarte's world, there's plenty of room for inauthenticity, like Sony's pathetic attempt to rip off XBLA. This isn't mustache-twirling evil, it's self-deception in the form of a denial of choice... like, say, if I received a $600 paperweight for Christmas, and the only thing that kept me from crying tiny tears all over the wrapping paper is saying to myself, "It's okay, it's okay. At least it has free online."
Well, where's your precious Sony network now, huh? Talk about "gazing long into the abyss."
So whine all you want, Sonyfan, but you know what? I'll take "Thus Spake Zarathrusta" over "Thus Spake Kevin Butler" any day of the week.
