Because it was funny and it pissed that ass clown ETS off.

You people don't know how to gauge emotion very well. This didn't piss me off, I was more saddened and annoyed by it than pissed off. Just another example of dying respect for human life and glorification of all that is evil in the world.

From the man who has threatened my life on several occassions.
From the man who said he would like to crush my skull and watch the life slip out of my eyes.
From the guy who threatens people with knives and high powered rifles.
Too bad we can't all respect life as much as you do.

Chimps. They kill each other and war with rivals. They also commit rape (i.e., forcefully fucking an unwilling female as an act of aggression rather than an attempt to procreate).

I find it appalling how willing the youth of today is to dismiss the human soul...and in favor of what? Some nihilistic "war is kind" bullshit that the passe, latte-sucking so-called "intellectuals" deal out because they are too fucking weak in their emotional abilities to accept that there is more to love than a chemical reaction?
How about this... How about you all take a good long look in the mirror and ask yourselves what this neo religion of science is doing to you. Because that's exactly what it is, a religion. You've placed your faith in that there is no faith. You've accepted the gospel that everything must have an answer and it invariably lies within the confines of a nicely constructed empirical world. You say "men are animals", which is an obvious truth, but instead of using this as a springboard for enlightenment and understanding of the soul that exists in all of nature, you try to use it as some kind of flimsy evidence of the soullessness and the essential worthlessness of man.
You are some very sad individuals, in my book. You have fallen pray to a very bleak philosophy whose ultimate agenda is keeping us numb and motionless in the face of mounting human tragedy and needless war. It's not "liberal" to have a heart. It's not "conservative" to make endless war. And it's not fucking cool to sit here and glorify war out of one cheek while you condemn it out the other.
Of course, you'll attack me... "Just who does this asshole think he is!" "Oh, he thinks he sooooo enlightened!" This isn't about me. This is about all of YOU. Look at yourselves. What the fuck is the matter with you people?!
Get rid of the fucking video games, and burn the moronic books that tell you that this is all ok, because it's not. Life is not some shoot-'em-up.

Don't be ridiculous, there are thousands of examples of territorial species of animals that will attack anything that encroaches on what they define as THEIR land, I'm not going to sit here and play animal planet with you and name them.
Wars happen. Sure.
Is it a defining charachteristic of humanity? Certainly not - otherwise we would ALL be at war ALL the time, almost without exception wouldn't we?
I'm not going to argue anymore with you because internet debate is fruitless. But I do feel that your view of humanity is very grim and depressing and I pity you for it.

humans have been killing en masse since the dawn of time. like it or not, your part of that. denying it dont make it go away. humans are one of the most aggresive species on earth and most succesful destroyer/parasite known in the history of the planet.
you are not less than human, you are human whether you like it or not. that's my point.

wars do make us human, no other animal is unique in such a way that we kill to gain, not instinctually but just to oppress or remove an obstacle, and this on a large scale basis. therefore to war is to be human. hardly mindless violence. there is always a definite purpose to mass killing. not very nice being human, izzit?

stop bringing your men is $3000 suits argument everywhere, you supposed to tell me you live in a house you built yourself, knit your own clothes and rear your own food? i'm guessing 90% of the money you spend go to men in $3000 suits as well, just that you draw your line a bit further than the rest of us and try to sound like you're holy.

What he did was the equivalent of writing an essay on how awesome suicide is and how we should all commit it, then at the end writing one sentence about how he was just kidding.
Through the whole post, he's glorifying the weapons of war. It's pretty much that simple. The last little "disclaimer" doesn't change that. If he really believed it, he wouldn't have created the fucking post, and the fact that he did anyway tells me he is weak individual with few real convictions except trying to look 'cool' for some assholes on the internet.

What the hell are you living for? What's your purpose? To be some frat-boy-minded little douchebag who has to find everything somehow entertaining or he won't be 'popular'?
The physics behind military machines is awesome. Some of those pictures are pretty wondrous...until you realize the meaning behind them, the suppressive, oppressive, land-grabbing empire-builders behind them.
We were raised in public schools to think that empires are cool, that conquerers are the only people whose names are worthy of being remembered. Congratulations on buying into that shit. Either way, this post is pretty damned pointless.

Yes but one thing that people fail to take into account is that only very REMARKABLE humans have ever achieved these things.
----------------
You people are fucking warped. Is this what you really believe? Do you really think creating a fucking death machine is "remarkable"? If you ask me, it is the definition of "unremarkable" seeing as that's about all human being have ever exploited their best technologies for.
It doesn't take a genius to figure out how to kill someone, or to even kill hundreds of thousands. By that measure, you're calling the hijackers on 9/11 geniuses.
Let me tell you something fanboy, there is nothing "remarkable" about the military industrial complex. It consists of a bunch of ultra wealthy men in $3000 suits telling smart people they will pay them well to exploit their talents.
Da Vinci invented weapons...for money. But his greatest works had nothing to do with war. THAT is "remarkable". Not this shit you're showing us in this post.
I have a word of advice for you...stop trying so goddamned hard to be "cool" and try SAYING something once in a while.

AHAHAHAHAHA!! - THATS FRICKING HILARIOUS.
When asked what makes us humanm most people will cite love, music, art, poetry, Da Vinci, Shakespear - all that jazz... but you choo-choo-choose war and aggression?
What's more, you don't seem to see it as even a lamentable part of humanity, no, you seem guinuely PROUD of midless violence and even somewhat scared that it should be taken away from you one day.
"wars make us human' ?! - WHATS FUCKING WRONG WITH YOU, YOU THICK CUNT?

See, what's the fucking point? You think it makes you cool to think weapons of war are cool?
What the hell are you living for? What's your purpose? To be some frat-boy-minded little douchebag who has to find everything somehow entertaining or he won't be 'popular'?
The physics behind military machines is awesome. Some of those pictures are pretty wondrous...until you realize the meaning behind them, the suppressive, oppressive, land-grabbing empire-builders behind them.
We were raised in public schools to think that empires are cool, that conquerers are the only people whose names are worthy of being remembered. Congratulations on buying into that shit. Either way, this post is pretty damned pointless.

Saying that man is a warlike creature, is a ridiculous concept. War is a primordial, and to an extent, it's instinctual.
So therefor War is not human since adaptation is. The ability to adapt and overcome, above all others, in order for our species to survive. That is our most human characteristic.
War only insures our demise, and is something which also must be overcomed. We must adapt, or else we will die. I have no doubt in my mind that one day, if we live as long, that war will be a passage in a history book to describe our past.
It is in no way our future - for if it is, we will surely not reach that future.
Sorry I don't share your mindless ideology that War, Chaos, Death, and Murder is an inherent, and ultimately irremovable human condition.

Awesome. I smushed my car yesterday so I'm sad. It didn't look nearly as cool as any of this when I did it. It would've been so much cooler if it had been run over by a tank. How many people can say their car has been crushed by a tank? In the U.S. I mean. Not counting the cars that one guy ran over in San Diego when he stole the tank. That's right, NO ONE CAN.

We are animals, that is true. And we would be no different than an ape if we had not the intelligence.
But it is the intelligence that allows us to be more than the confines of our instincts - through adaptation.
Intelligence allows us to overcome our instincts, overcome those things which we label such as War, provoked by indifference, territory, and other animalistic things.
We are more than the ape, or else we wouldn't be as strong, and as numbered as we are - so much so that we have colonized almost every part of the Earth, traveled to space, created centuries of art, culture, music, science...
We will always be more, because we strive to be.

I watched a show a couple of months ago about something called Metal Storm. It was a big gun that had almost NO moving parts, was electronically fired and could lay down 50000 rounds a minute or something silly like that. It was like an "in theory" thing either, they had a couple of working guns for demos. There was also a handgun that could fire off 3-5 bullets before the kick hit and some other smaller stuff like that.
I could be getting some of the details wrong (like the number of rounds a minute on the Metal Storm thing), because it WAS a couple of months ago and I'm too lazy to google search it. All I remember is being a bit frightened of it.

So the plot is about 2 made up countries with silly names going to war and the anguish of all your useless copilots over it. The CGI cutscenes are technically beautiful, but all they show are people sitting around and talking about their feelings. Strangely, or fortunately, your character is entirely voiceless, nameless, and faceless other than having the glam-rock callsign of "blaze." The plot revolves around this dewey-eyed skank named Nagase. She whines and moans about how war is bad and how sad she is that a space station that was supposed to be a "bird of peace" was turned into a weapons platform and blah, blah, blah I'm not buying any of this, assholes.
Pacifists in wargames are like the token Arab CIA agent in "True Lies." The message of your game is not that war is bad and we should all feel love for each other and only drink fair trade coffee. The message of your game is that war is awesome, happiness is dropping Napalm at mach speed, and the only sadness on the battlefield is running out of ammo. It doesn't matter how many times you make pilot weepy croon about why people have to die because you just gave me 1000 points for every loving familyman I blasted to smithereens.
