Did my bullsmurf detector just go off?

I dunno 'bout that, but sure seems like your 'gaydar' is set to DefCon 11 and ThreatLevel SevereQueer.

Why so much concern for what consenting adults are doing in private?

Do you believe people should be prevented from marrying based on the specific type of sexual activity that the couple intends to engage in while in private?  What purpose would that serve?

OK, fair enough...though I guess I'm still not understanding why you felt it necessary to make the terribly offensive comparisons to bestiality and pedophilia previously.  However, it's impossible for me to fathom having "problems" with what consenting adults do in the bedroom.  That's just not anything I waste any time thinking about.

Preach, Sister Fire!

Thread shoulda been locked on general principles from the getgo anyway...

Who makes XBox again? Further, anyone using or [shudder] buying one is worhty of scorn and contempt on that 'choice' alone, regardless of any particular media used or comment on that media.

To each their own I suppose, but it would seem to show a certain ignorance and lack of judgement on those grounds, period.

This could be a great forum description.

Boo-hoo. Bite me. If you can't defend your position using arguments, maybe you should rethink how you arrived at it to begin with.

Back at ya, I see just a bunch of kids dressed like adults. Hey we don't agree with you lets gang up on him, wait.. you talked like that to my friend, I'll be a d*** and ban you if you do it again.

No, nobody gets to talk to anybody that way, here. Get it?

You wanna talk trash about me with your buddy's and justify your actions by using your position as admin? please

I'm "talking trash" about you? Really? That's news to me.

Butt if brat says something (at least in this forum) yourself or anybody else who agrees with him, they can say this or that [...]

No, they can't.

[...] even if they are being a a-hole about it while using personal animosity towards me and taking up space in the process by asking dumb questions just to start a flame like they need a slide ruler to figure out what somebody is saying and meaning.

Hey, you want to express your opinions? Fine. But be prepared to have them questioned. And thus to explain and defend them. If you can't, your loss. Don't come running to me with complaints of being "ganged up on" if there are more people disagreeing with you than there are in agreement. It happens. Deal with it.

But is able to say while others pat him on the back and say "ya,ya, your right, you tell him".

Please point out where I did such.

"Did my bullsmurf detector just go off? (dam i've been wanting to say that after finishing GOW2 )

No, it didn't. Unless maybe it's defective.

BTW, I'm not one of the kids in your neighborhood , So you keep that BS "Keep it up, and I'm kicking you out of here" kid bullsmurf at home where it belongs.

It belongs here. I'm the one doing the kicking around here.

Do what you will, I come here to read a couple of topics, post on some and look for answers from other posters as well as asking so I try and get answers to my  questions about my MacPro, and my new MacBook Pro. (well both are new, the laptop is the newest) oh wait.. off topic...

This is a great site for Mac Chat and info, but it seems like in some forums some follow along walking blindly while the s*** is  rolling down hill.

You're quite welcome to avoid certain areas of the site.

Ohh I can see it now.. "post deleted"
Brat saying "good riddance" and the followers cheer. .:::loud audience sounds here::. 
Sorry you won't see none of this from me.

Yes... because that happens all the time, right? You sure love playing the victim. Seems I don't need to do any of that to get all that from you.

Brat, Alien, and everybody else, I may disagree with you but I still Love ya.
Even that my be hard to comprehend. .::hands out slide rulers::.

Whatever. I don't care if you like me, love me, hate me, despise me, take your pick. Just behave when you come here.

The XBox kicks ass if you want to do something other than Wii Bowling.

What's the alternative? The PS3? Oh, yes. That's a very Apple friendly company.

At least the 360 has iPod support.

...altho one might think that, at the price, it should make ice cubes and do the dishes, too.

Daemon might be surprised at some of the frequent posters here who are 360 owners/users. Show of hands, anyone?

I'd never have guessed... ok, that was a fib.

But, my point was about supporting that company, for any reason. Boycotts exist. (In general.) You should try one.

I'll try for something more significant. Meanwhile I'll not cut off my nose to spite my face.

Second, if one did invest in the MS product, isn't there a high hardware failure rate on them? Seems like an unwise waste of $$, if true. Or is that just FUD?

No, it's been real, tho apparently pretty much resolved with newer, cooler parts. But with the warranty extension MS threw in as a result, I haven't had to pay for repairs, even with 3 failures. But that's been an annoyance, not a deal-breaker. Heck, the voice comm/chat on XBL is a good way to keep up with friends, sometimes make new ones. And while I'd prefer not to go console at all, one has to adjust to reality. It won't adjust to you.

Xbox owner here ::raises::  Wait, do I have to defend that position too?

I have owned my main one since about a month after launch which was November 22, 2005. I haven't had a single problem with it. My wife and 2 friends have not had problems in the year or so they have owned theirs.

Office is still my productivity suite of choice too

edit:
I run a Microsoft-free environment.

Why do I want to boycott a department division that has never done anything to offend me?

If anything, I have a beef with Sony. Sold my PS3 because of the IP smurf of LBP. They lied about how long it was going to take for XMB features. They lied about the release date of The Agency. They lied about what Evolution Studios could do for support in regards to DLC and Motorstorm. And don't get me started on Home.

Also, I could indeed connect any BT headset to the PS3. Now ask me how PSN handled voice communications from launch up to 6 months ago. The correct answer is VERY POORLY.

I don't hold them as the big bad guys in the industry right now. That belongs to Bobby Kotick and the Activision crew. But the butchered the hell out of that launch in '06 and they still couldn't stop from being smug until a couple of years later.
