Someone isn't going to think "Actually, I won't batter this guy with a metal bar - it's non-violence week'.
Good sir, I am offended by this.
I think it every day~
As to your other question, I'm a man who loves God and reason. How else should I portray myself?
A fro, a goatee, and a big, golden cross hanging from your neck in multi-colored robes.
I myself am soldier class, and although in reality I am not a violent person, the escape from reality that this game offers is often violent and bloody.
A soldier represents freedom. A soldier represents a shield for those whom they defend with their lives. Each soldier is an individual, but as a whole, they represent their country and the lives of all those who wish to continue living happily in this world. They do not promote violence; quite the opposite. They promote peace, and respect, and dignity. It is true they are sent off to wage bloody battles in the name of their countries, but it is we who send them to protect freedom, not they who wish to go to war.
Though, I don't know if I can say this anymore with the utmost confidence for the American soldiers I see today. It seems some morals have dropped, or they're too desperate for extra man power. Either way, what I see them do from time to time makes me sick.
Lastly, bloody and violent? In this game? Yeah, real **** we got going on here. I wish I could just fade out of existence when I'm killed and wake up in a 5 star hotel. Come on.
If you look at my initial post, a few people already have signed on. That seems to refute you quite quickly. If I was looking for 100% participation I would sooner have taken to drink.
Sometimes I think you might need one.
If you have never gotten up from a game of any kind with a frustration or anger due to what had been dealt to you I would seriously question your sincerity.
Truest thing I've seen you write since you started posting.
You would probably be offended if I declared the week after 'World Violence Week - go out and punch someone in the face!'.
This would actually be a good thing. You need a better title, though. Something along the lines of "Release stress through unrestricted social interactions week".
Please keep these forums about The West, and not about anything else that has no significance to the game.
You forget, point*****s love this type of thinking. It is not completely about The West, but at least it has some connection.
Plus, you seem to enjoy the debate.
Take this designated week as a string tied around one's finger to be conscious of those times in one's life where one is tempted to act with some sort of violence towards another and has the choice not to. I will not argue that the mechanics of this world permit violence, but this is a pact that says for just a few days we will all set it aside and reflect upon our own behavior. Perhaps something will stick, perhaps it won't, but with no attempt at all then progress is guaranteed to be frozen.
And over in Iran we see.... Heads flying! Chicka chicka bow wow.
