Here's my pet hate for the dayYou know what? I'm tired of people just assuming I'm wrong. I think occasionally that I might have earned the privilege of other people learning to accept when they're wrong, just as I do when I'm wrong. I think that's a perfectly reasonable request, not that it'll ever be fulfilled on the internet. It just pains me that you can go to all the trouble of deconstructing and disproving an argument, only to be criticized for doing just that. As if that makes any sense.
Still, it just makes me love the internet more. Being given 30 seconds to think before you say something is a luxury I don't have in everyday conversation, even though some people obviously don't appreciate it. But enough about starting internet arguments. Just had to get that out.
Firstly, I have work to do. A lot of work to do these days. So sorry if I haven't been updating as often as I probably should, I can assure you I have been doing ~something~, but I'm a little nervous about uploading it right now. I have an ancient track hanging about from last February somewhere, maybe I should put that up.
Me and Matt might be resuming work on Lawyer Guy, I think the desire to get some published work (and thus money) has spurred him on, although I haven't told him that our hopes of getting an alpha or a gameplay demo ready to send off to a publisher are very low at his current rate of work. Which is NOTHING in SIX DAYS, by the way.
Sorry if I'm a bit grouchy right now. I'm just tired is all.
Grouchy
To me, the right to death is perhaps more important, if I end up laying about in a hospital bed being fed through a tube because it's "policy" that the hospital doesn't turn off life support EVER for ANYONE, I hope some anonymous stranger comes and shoots me.
Lets not forget that all Germany's problems were not our fault, the Germans as a people crave order and enforcement, something they weren't getting under the Weimar. Hitler's rise to power was down to the economic crisis, which was partially down to Britain's involvement in the war. But it was also down to the critical flaw in German society, a flaw that still exists to this very day, the need to have a rigid stucture and strong leadership. Mercifully they've got one now in Angela Myrtle, but should they ever get a weak one again, we'de be looking at a similar situation to that of 1929. In short, the reason most of Europe hate the British is because we were quite good at running things a century ago That's why the French hate us, that's why the Italians hate us, that's why the Germans hate us and it's why the Polish love us.

I think every country has mutual hate for America, but when you consider, for example, how severely we fucked up Germany's economy you can see how Hitler ended up getting elected. Which in turn led to much bloodshed, destruction, the cold war blah blah blah. Every country that bears a grudge against us has earned it. Except maybe the French.

I really only think that Americans see themselves as the Hollywood action heroes, we spent 30 years after the war saying sorry to the Germans, not the act of a country that thinks itself above the rest of the world. The only people the Irish hate more than Brits are other Irish people, they're a very bitter population. The French hate everyone. We as a nation cannot realistically do anything about China. And the Netherlands and all those other Nordic countries have sky-high suicide rates, the chances are that if you lived in one of those countries you would have killed yourself by now.
And Japanese people use hacks.

We westerners often have the quite arrogant notion that we are, in a sense, the 'good guys'. We're really not. The British empire was once the most ruthless in the world, and America is an obnoxious, resource-hogging waste of space. The Irish aren't our biggest fans, and neither are the French. The guy in China who works every day in a sweatshop for little or no pay probably hates us rich, materialistic westerners and the greedy corporations who own our souls as well.
There are a lot of times I'd rather be Finnish, Swedish or Japanese to be honest. Hell, I could even stand to be Austrian.

People with a lot of money : Not every rich person is a ruthless dictator of a boss with foreign workers kept in shackles and sky high prices. There is the odd one that actually deserves it, some businessmen make money because they offer a good service that people are willing to pay money for. There are those that make money by kissing arse and mistreating people, yes. But there are also those that do it honestly. Don't assume the worst of rich people, they're not all bastards.

I feel sad that the crazy 'death to English' guy won. That said, there are probably a lot of Iranians that are quite happy about it. But even the most benevolent dictator can grow ruthless over time. People with a lot of money? Sure, they're all idiots, and don't deserve it (and I DO) but I have feelings more of general annoyance than hate towards them.

War : a fight overresources because one leader is greedy and the other has a rubbish army and lots of oil.
Economy on the brink of collapse : Bankers got greedy and decided it would be a good idea to hand out 70 year mortgages to unskilled, unemployed teenagers with a whole bunch of expensive kids.
Iran : President Ahmadinejad (almost certainly spelt wrong) is greedy for power so decides to threaten America with nukes and rig his own elections.
North Korea : Same problem.
Russia : Same problem again.
America : Bush was a dickhead.
Nuff said.
