It'll never be fair to compare any other country to the US for one simple reason, size.

I can quote how low gun violence is in my home country of Germany, and it's not like we're known as a anti-violence country in our recent history. But Germany is also the size of Texas. It's far more easily managed than 30+…

As a German I'll be the first to say the French are fantastic people who are very nice. I've spent quite a bit of time in France myself. As usual you're likely referring to Parisians, which is completely different. It's like saying, "People from New York are rude." New York as a state has perfectly pleasant people,…

I should clarify that I was replying only to the statement of, "Seems to me that happy people bred happy people."

I agree with the rest of your statement and subsequent reply, and I am in fact a practicing radiologist (not the two year school guy, the masters guy). All of what you say is completely true in regards to…

Burt Renolds? Is that you? He probably got so much ass in the 80's pretending to be Burt.

Lobbyists are attempting to have a Federal "Sin" tax placed on violent games. Not movies, music, books, etc. Just video games.

Don't be mistaken, we're predators. We evolved to be an apex killer in multiple different ways. Violence in an of itself may not be "rooted" in us, but aggression and the urge to dominate is. Environmentally it can be honed into a socially acceptable outlet such as sports, gaming, etc. But we have forward facing eyes…

As a German I held my first gun around age 6. I doubt the weapon was permitted under law at the time but it was the 80's and no one cared. Due to Germany's green space/hunting conservation acts, gun ownership for hunting isn't all that rare. It wasn't until about a decade ago that the Bundeswaffengesetz (our current…

I told those pedestrians on the side walk the last time I ran someone over not to fucking walk there. It's not my fault they don't listen and I have to careen through a few dozen of them.

"Look, I don't agree with Stossel about 99 percent of the time, but that's completely irrelevant right now. The man has done his homework on this one, and a shocking display of basic competency like this is something you simply don't see a lot of on television."

I don't see anyone "jumping on board" here, they're…

I'm not sure I agree with that. The less people have to struggle for, the more free time and complacency they are allowed.

Just look at the vitriol and hate that spews forth from people on this site. They are comfortable enough to have a computer of some sort and an internet connection, and they still feel the need to…

Weren't you dismissing my posts from now on? You're just being a tease by replying now. Surely, you just can't quit me, I get it. When you care this much it's just hard to let go, I understand.

Never gonna give you up,
Never gonna let you down,
Never gonna run around and desert you...

Cool, I appreciate you being up front about that kind of stuff it really shows you care <3

Then why reply? It's always funny to see people go out of their way to reply with, "I don't care." Because they sure cared enough to tell you just how much they don't care.

That doesn't particularly seem "honest."

This was answered in my other reply to which you've already responded to, that gave the answer to that question. We were assuming you were lying based on the information we believed was correct.

Yes, that's been covered. As stated, we were under the impression you were slandering it without actually trying it.

When you attack people's character in an adhominem response, it's rhetorical to receive an articulated response clarifying what you attacked. Or do you expect to toss out commentary and not receive a response?

Just saying.

Without the information provided after your comment, we were under the false impression that what you were claiming was impossible. Meaning to us, you were slamming a game under circumstances that could not have occurred. So if they could not have occurred you were simply making false statements about a game simply…

And coming in after the fact to decry our statements based on your assumptions of our intent would be any better? If you're going to come off as being on the high road, make sure that's actually the path you're taking.

Was I assuming he was lying? Yes. Was I trying to "catch" him in a lie for some purpose of ill…

I wonder if this was a steam exclusive thing, I had friends try the game during that period of time via their main site and those characters weren't available.

I stand corrected.

No, he wasn't. Even during the open beta he was not selectable from the get go. When you got into the game itself you could purchase him with free ingame cash you were given during open beta. But no, Iron Man was never one of the original five that were selectable.

Edited: The Only time I could imagine that he may have…
