The Hickey Underworld --- Future Words
Eating healthy food and working out are good for starters.
He didn't deserve it, even though he is a jerk. Fight words with words, gestures with gestures and hand to hand for all I care but don't go punching for something that silly. Be the better man, wish yourself better luck next time and ignore it. You're right about being sorry now after the fact. And I think you're smart enough not to do it again.
Generalisation achieved. There isn't really a good reason to belong to any subculture whatsoever. If you want to be yourself you'd be "John", not "John the emo", or "John the punk" or "John the macho" or whatever. Admitting to belong to a certain subculture is abiding to the rules of that subculture which (indirectly or not) induces the so-called "cattle" mentality. I am Styx and I don't belong to any subculture. I am myself and I believe in a so-called "buffet of beliefs" where anyone can choose his/her own sense of justice and style of living without swearing allegiance to anything. ;)
Actually, Metal Gear Solid is probably inspired by real life instead of the other way around. Yeah, that makes a lot more sense.
I'm doing great thanks. :)
Me too, come to think of... Meh, I'm too lazy right now. How are you doing?
I seriously hope that was a sarcastic post.
No. The truth deserves to be heard, seen and remembered.
(1) I made this thread a few days ago. Learn to read a date kthxbye. (2) Then inform a mod. Backseat modding doesn't really help anyone, now does it? On-topic: I picked Shijima. A world of harmony and implied perfection has no need for change and is better off maintaining its stable condition. Which would offset Shijima's supposed biggest flaw.
Not really. It deals with philosophy more than with the game itself really. At least that is what I hoped it would.
Because you'd lower yourself to a level twice as low as them duh. Go take revenge, see if I care. But repaying your debt twice over may just as well end up in an endless circle. "He did something twice as bad to me. Fine then. Now I'm gonna do something four times as bad to him!" Quite embarassing that a self-proclaimed cause-and-effect-cycle expert such as yourself overlooked that tiny detail. :) *gasp* You've got one of those state-of-the-art devices that can tell whether someone has read the entire post or not? :shocked: Awesome! Where did you get one of those? Seriously though... Well, I'll be honest. I did read the rest of your post and found it to be little more than an in-depth rant of the quoted sentences. "You reap what you sow." But unfortunately, the one who sows, the one who betrays, probably believes he's right. And revenge doesn't actually help in persuading either. If you counter whatever he's doing, he may well counter that and so on, because nobody likes to take a bow and leave it at that when it came that far. Often they even want you to be dragged along with the waves. When someone goes Judas on you it gives you the perfect opportunity to be the better man instead of losing head and showing your worst side like a preschooler.
Krezip --- What Are You Waiting For?
There are things you can't ignore. That doesn't necessarily mean having to take revenge, but there are things that become a pain unless the cause of it is dealt with in some way or another. When you start doing things twice as bad as the one who betrayed you, then I don't think I need to spell out how much respect you yourself deserve, now do I?
You are hardcore.
Yes. Yes, they do. I'd hate to be thought of as someone who gets walked on.
If girls may show cleavage then so do we.
I just read your thread. Does that have something to do with it? If you want to talk, I'm here for ya.
I just don't let people get that close that it would affect me. But since that reply won't help anyone, I'll go with this... When friends betray me I'll look for the cause (often it's me so I look there first), then I try to talk it over or something. If that doesn't work however or if his/her reason for "betraying" me was invalid, (s)he'll lose some...privileges that come with friendship. It all depends on the degree of betrayal. I am mostly very forgiving but I can be quite nasty as well.
(1) Modesty is a virtue. (2) If you don't care about it obviously you wouldn't keep on posting here.
