Yes I think it can rival them but its not exactly open world like those games are. RDR and GTA put you in a sandbox and tell you to go play. MGS is more like different sandboxes. You have a mission in Afghanistan so you fly to Afghanistan and you're dropped in an "open world" (so a small portion of Afghanistan, say a military base or something) and you're told you have X and Y missions to complete and along the way there's a bunch of side stuff you can do. Then you move on to Iraq or Zimbabwe or whatever. I think MGS can compete on quality because the games have proven that much already but it wont necessarily be a direct comparison. It'll be more like RDR was awesome. MGS was awesome.

@IncisionX: You can't say god doesn't exist with any more certainty than you can say he does exist. Smarts or not. There are galaxies we still can't reach and anomalies we still can't explain and chances are we wont be able to before our time is up (as a human race). God, in our opinion, is bigger than all this. So just because we "proved" that the world we live in was the result of a bang in outer space some 13 billion years ago doesn't mean there's nothing bigger than that. And honestly, I hope god exists, for our sake.

Oh...and this said, that opening post was the laziest thing I've ever read.

[QUOTE="mack10"][QUOTE="Teenaged"]Missed me?

I know what you're saying. And it is ridiculous. Do I really have to point it out? Because if yes, holy crap, man... holy crap. >__>

Teenaged

I'm obviously exaggerating it. Point still stands unless you've lived in both Canada and the States before and you've seen something I haven't. I've lived in both country a fair share of time and that's what I saw. The U.S. has big problems both politically and socially when it comes to gay people and on top of that they're loud and they're everywhere. In Canada there was ONE time I've seen a lesbian couple holding hands in public (and I go out a lot - clubbing, restaurants, conventions, you name it) and this isn't for lack of "freedom" here. Its just that its not a big topic on T.V. and in the tabloids whereas in the States its one problem after another when it comes to gay people and their rights. They try and normalize it - the gay pro crowd - and it becomes "normal" but imo its anything but normal.

What point exactly stands? What can I assume is behind the exaggerations you posted?

I mean, seriously, lets break it down here... "everyone and their mother is turning gay Which part is exaggeration? The "everyone"? Could it be some or many? If it was some or many I dont see how it would be so noticeable to you. Could it be "and their mother"? Oh alright for a moment there I was afraid you're implying the mothers of the nation are in danger!

And what is it with you guys thinking everyone turnsgay? Is there some perceived danger in your minds that potential bros and buddies that share your mindset will join the other camp and be your enemies or something? Are you afraid that literally everyone will eventually turn gay and then you'll be the only one along with a couple macho, straight friends of yours fending off thousands of gays trying to take advantage of your luscious bodies?

So, I dont think its only gays that have the "either with us or against us" mentality. At least in their case the "against" part is often true.

Lets be honest here... there's no point you made that still stands, when you have supported it with ridiculous exaggerations. A point stands if it is supported by evidence and arguments. Your inane blabbering contained no evidence or arguments.

Your anecdotes are of little importance to me because you seem very susceptible to confirmation bias. Or at least your persona is.

Considering you dont explain what you define as "normal" (and I didnt expect you to bother), I'll assume what most people mean when they spout the word in their rhetoric. "Weird", "strange", "unusual", "not part of ones worldview". Terms which are all subjective and kudos for adding the "imo" in your last sentence. It shows some honesty. At the same time that honesty contradicts your fervent anti-gay rambling.

Get your sh*t together.

Funny that you might actually make a difference if you take your obnoxious attitude to the streets or to your congressman but instead you spend day and night on these forums because this is as normal as its gonna get for you. I can't be bothered to break everything down, least of all for you, because I know how it usually goes. Last time we broke things down, in fact funny enough we broke down what "normal" meant, you always had something to say in retaliation, because in reality I can't change your mind and your beliefs and that's OK, I don't want to do that. But "normal", in simple terms, means how something is meant to be by birth (for the sake of this argument). It becomes abnormal when you change a certain mindset and people buy into it, which is in essence where gay originated. If i think about it biologically, I'm thinking a man's penis and a woman's uterus were built that way to complement each other and in no world can a man's penis complement a man's intestines, no matter how you spin it. Unless you can conceive babies now? I haven't been keeping up on that end. @tenaka2 thanks for the links, I'll read through them.

[QUOTE="mack10"]Can you please link me, I'd like to read up on that. I'm open minded so I'd like to take a peek.tenaka2

Here is an example there are many more.

http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2004/07/0722_040722_gayanimal.html

Homosexual Activity Among Animals Stirs Debate


Porter, who first hit it big in the 1920s, wouldn't risk parading his homosexuality in public. In his day "the birds and the bees" generally meant only one thingsex between a male and female.

But, actually, some same-sex birdsdodo it. So do beetles, sheep, fruit bats, dolphins, and orangutans. Zoologists are discovering that homosexual and bisexual activity is not unknown within the animal kingdom.

Roy and Silo, two male chinstrap penguins at New York's Central Park Zoo have been inseparable for six years now. They display classic pair-bonding behaviorentwining of necks, mutual preening, flipper flapping, and the rest. They also have sex, while ignoring potential female mates.

Wild birds exhibit similar behavior. There are male ostriches that only court their own gender, and pairs of male flamingos that mate, build nests, and even raise foster chicks.

Filmmakers recently went in search of homosexual wild animals as part of a National GeographicUltimate Explorerdocumentary about the female's role in the mating game. (The film,Girl Power,will be screened in the U.S this Saturday at 8 p.m. ET, 5 p.m PT on MSNBC TV.)

The team caught female Japanese macaques engaged in intimate acts which, if observed in humans, would be in the X-rated category.


Please give me peer reviewed articles on the subject. I just tried running a search on a University library where I live and nothing came up of value so far. Nat Geo can just be drilling people with lies for all i know.

[QUOTE="mack10"]

Lol no kidding that it'd be you who replies first. Well that's my opinion man, take it or leave it it doesn't change a thing...kinda like how your post doesn't change a thing either. And please read that sentence again - i was saying homosexuality in Canada is practically nonexistent and that in the States everyone is turning gay Something is a little wrong.
