Ok i know there are probably hundreds of topics on the forums about trash talking on xbox live, but after playing a game of Gears of War todayand the trash talking was so disgraceful, I had to talk about it. It's an absolute disgrace the way some people from both America and Britain are so competitively hateful (if that makes sense) against each other, it really is astounding. Now i'm not saying EVERYONE is like this, but from personal experience from playing alot of games on xbox live, there is ALOT of people from both sides who are like this (on xbox live), why I don't know but here's how this one started and it's pretty roughly put together because alot of it I just tried to not listen to too much.

The room has 6 players, the 7th joins (an American) and he says, 'Would anyone on the COG team kill someone with glasses?' and then most of theCOG team (who were British) said, 'Yes we ****ing would', in there on way of course. Throughout the rounds, both teams would fire insults at each other and I found it quite strange that the COG team were British, the Locusts were American all but me and i'm British, I hardly said anything to them about it afraid that they would then turn to insulting me (my voice for example, i'm Northern Irish) so I kept very quiet. But some of the things they said to each other like the British singing ,'Where's your towers, where's your f**king towers, where's your tooooowers?', in response to jabbing from the Americans, who then countered back, 'The Queen's sucking my**** you know',and 'America is the world's biggest superpower, we control everything, your country is pathetic with your **** democracy with your queen', and 'I f**ked this British chic the other weekend her **** stank'. Now the British (in this game anyway) replied back alot with racist comments about black people, and i've heard that alot these days especially in gears of war. What I will say is I don't form a general opinion of eithercountries from these people's veiws and comments.

My first GT was 'I Sparticus' which I thought was really cool cus ppl kept saying 'I'm Sparticus!' 'No I'm Sparticus!' and another kid thought it was something to do with the movie 'I Robot', i eventually got bored with it tho, I went Livewirez afterwards, then changes it after a year cus ppl kept asking if I used Limewire, as of present, it's 'H 3 R 0 I C' cus it's my third GT, also halo 3, it's my third xbox, lol. Most ppl dont comment, but some think its cool.
