The "General Games Chat" forum, which includes Retro Game Reviews, has been archived and is now read-only. You cannot post here or create a new thread or review on this forum.
The events of today have kind of put into perspective which console is best, what game is best and who is dumb for liking Nintendo etc.
Who gives a toss if Gates wants to release a new games machine?
Who cares if the PS2 has more polygons than Dreamcast.
We need to get a perspective and learn to tolerate, understand and accept that I like something different to you and that's cool.
It's when people start to shout and scream to drown out the voice of someone else that resentment starts.
Might be someone having a go at you for liking Microsoft, might be someone deciding a fly planes into your buildings because you fight over oil.
Shame on this race for finding reasons to hate and fight.
No way to live, and this is what happens.
If nothing else comes of this today, perhaps we might be a little slower to attack someone because they look funny, talk differently to you, have different skin, like a different video-games machine.
Bigotry, hatred, envy, intolerance, violence and hostility stem from the basic refusal to listen to someone else and try to understand them.
I am ashamed to be on this planet today.
This is why I joined Amnesty International, this is why I take issue with racists and other forms of stupidity.
Because if you ignore and look away when we something that upsets us, it leads to this kind of sick action today.
Goddamn.
That's all I can say, goddamit.
My Uncle works in The Pentagon and Quantico Marine Base, and I can't find out if he's ok or not.
This suck, and the biggest emotion I have is one of shame.
Damn this planet, damn this species and damn those that refuse to talk and listen.

Yeah.
He is based at Quantico FBI Academy in West Virginia, about 19 miles from Washington, they live just outside the beltway area (sort of like Basildon to London distance) and his office is in The Pentagon itself.
Not sure how often he's in the office at all.
A guy from work has gone home because his kids went to New York yesterday for holiday.
He cant get any phone lines to them and doesnt know what the hell is going on, this is a grown man in tears in the kitchen and nobody knows what the hell to say to him.
this sucks so badly man.
*shakes head*
Why?
That's all I say

Goatboy, does your uncle actually live or work around one of this buildings?
If so, I hope he's alright.
If so, I hope he's alright.
If you areat work, GB, go home. Work will understand.
Thanks to you guys for being concerned.
He works at Quantico Marine base and The Pentagon.
He works for several agencies with letters in their names, his father founded the Special Forces Unit.
Last time I went there, he took me round the Pentagon and Quantico.
I just want to know he's ok, but the phone lines are dead.
There's a media blackout in operation and I can't find out anything at all.
My mum is in Edinburgh and my girlfriend is in London, being evacuated.
I don't want to be here, no offence, I want my family and my girlfriend with me.
This really sucks bad.

You can join all the organisations you want, hate the human race, feel guilty, ashamed, whatever - and wish that people would talk things out.
But at the end of the day, whether it be Palestinians, Jews, Arabs, or the IRA, these people have no interest in dialogue. They're not interested in compromise - they just want everything their own way.
People like 'them' - whoever they are - need eliminating.
The fact that people like you, me, and all the others on these forums are so disgusted at such actions proves that there is hope.
I hope your uncle is found safe and well, Goaty.

Me to Goaty, I hope he's ok.
Let us know as soon as you do?

Nicely said, GB. I agree entirely.
I hope your uncle is okay.
no sarcasm intended at all.

We're far from perfect but no worse than any other.
Yes, but we're more intelligent from the others...
To be honest, I wouldn't be surprised if God blew up the whole planet right now.

Whatever, I will not discuss this with you because my emotions are running high.
I dont know where my Uncle is or what has happened, and this is my personal opinon.
That is exactly what I'm talking about Strafex, I was expressing my emotions and personal feelings.
Mind your business and dont tell me how to think and behave.
I refuse to be drawn into this argument.

This race is like any other, it looks out for itself.
It's no worse than anyother when it comes to defects and bad deeds.
All this looking after people and morals is something we've develloped ourselves as a race.
The only problem is, we have more power so our deeds cause bigger consequences.
