constitutional rights

If there's one thing I could call broken record on, it would be this. But that's another topic.

Today's American's are too lazy to inform themselves about what they intake on a daily basis. People can claim that they're too busy to pay attention then there's the others that want what they want despite the consequences. Both of those types of people need to be taxed.

A tax is one of the worst ways to go about telling people to eat healthy. The information is there for people to read, whether they choose to or not is completely up to them. Do not punish me because someone else does not care about their health. And with all of the health related topics on the news, how can people not know what is healthy and what is not? Taxing food just to get us to eat healthier is against our political philosophy and is unconstitutional above everything else.

I also do not like you using the term "Today's Americans" to justify your statement. Everyone I know knows what food is healthy and what is not. Generalizations don't work and should never be used.

As if the American population is too stupid to understand the concept of unhealthy food.

Yea they are too stupid :) I hope unhealthy foods get taxed. I just hope they mark truly unhealthy foods, those including poisonous preservatives, not just the ones loaded with fat.

I really hope you are joking. While I agree that foods with poisonous  preservatives should be marked and consumers should be warned, taxing foods just because they are fattening would be going against our economic philosophy. Government shouldn't intervene with business unless it is for regulation purposes, aka. keeping everything fair and honest.  The Government shouldn't be able to decide what we eat.

I feel that if people want to eat unhealthy, let them. It is only themselves they are going to hurt. The average person is educated enough to know what they are eating. What is really fucked up about all of this is that the U.S. government is thinking about trying to control what Americans eat by taxing foods and beverages that they deem "unhealthy." As if the American population is too stupid to understand the concept of unhealthy food. People do not eat unhealthy food because they don''t know it is unhealthy, they eat it because it tastes good.

I believe you two are misunderstanding each other and neither one of you is attacking the other, yet you both seem to think the other is doing just that.

I've been posting less and less lately and even my activity on MSN has been falling. This is still my favorite forum, and still the top bookmark in my bookmark folder  8) I've had someone in mind to invite since the forum started but nobody else knows him so I didn't really bring it up with him. I think that there is a limit to positive growth and we need to recognize it when we get there. We don't want this to be DRAAT or ACI, we want this to be HeadShot.

WTF KILLAMAN WHY DID YOU POST WHILE I WAS WRITING I WAS GONNA TRY TO SOLVE THIS ARGUMENT THEN YOU RUINED IT.

How did I ruin it by trying to explain myself? I'm not attacking him in any way.....

Not once did I imply that you were the only one who thinks that way.

It saddens me to see you won't accept different things/subjects to the ones you are used to. This is one of the reasons why ignorants remain ignorants (Know that I am not directly calling you arrogant!). If computers, games and politics are your only are of expertise, so be it --but even in those, there is more to be learned. By cutting your defensive reactions/responses, and understanding that things aren't always as linear and simple to understand as they may seem, you will be able to participate and add greater value to your posts, I believe.

It is not that "I can't accept different things" as you said, it is that if I do not know what I am talking about, I don't say anything. Would you rather me post a bunch of BS that doesn't add to the topic? Because I can do that if you like. My main point is that posting without knowledge of a subject is a waste of a post and everyone's time.

As for the second part of the paragraph, I never said anything about that. I know there is always more to learn.

Nice post. Hopefully, this will have some sort of effect on the way people look at this community.

@Killaman: This is a community. We sometimes have to do things as a community. Why won't you be flexible?

This is not a case of flexibility. This is a case of you wanting people to talk about what you like even if they know nothing about it. I do not talk about things I am not interested in or I do not know about. If I post something in a topic that I have no clue what it is about, I just end up looking stupid in the end and not adding anything of value to that topic. It would essentially be spam.

I post and reply to things that interest me. I am not going to go out of my way to pretend I am interested in something that I am not. If I cannot add anything relevant to the conversation, I don't post.

You accused me of spamming the chat, which I clearly don't do, so I though you were trying to insult me.  :-\

I dont think it was an attack...... spam = lots of messages (they may or may not be meaningfull)

Spam is a bunch of meaningless messages. If they were meaningful, it is considered as a conversation.

I didn't know you considered having a conversation spam. I have never "spammed" The chatbox.  Why are you acting like a douche all of a sudden? Lame attempt to attack me and AJ.

That just helps prove my point. Instead of buying another game, you have to pay to play online. I would much rather have the money to buy a game than to pay Microsoft for something that should be free.

Oh, I obviously have no idea how that stuff works. I thought you were talking about game prices which are outrageous.

They are outrageously priced, but I was talking about the Xbox Live subscription fee.

Also, when I talked about innovation instead of doing what has already been done, I wasn't talking specifically about motion controls. It could have been innovation in some other way.  My point was that it is better to create something better than to repeat what has already been done.

$60 just to play online now? I'll pass.
Aren't you talking about pretty much every current game?

And yes there is a way to judge which console is better. The fact that you don't understand that basic fact makes me sad.

Back this up and I will believe you. What makes the PS3 better than the Wii? It is all debatable and up to personal opinion. There is no official way to judge what console is better.

I have no desire to sift around the internet for facts, now if you wish to enlighten yourself that is up to you.

You may find facts about the console, but whether I like them or not is up to me. It is completely up to opinion. You keep trying to pass opinion off as fact and it is not working.
