Yeah, all he said is that you shouldn't bother complaining about racist jerks on HPC because for every racist asswipe you kick from a server you're going to meet another dozen in his place.

I, for one, would never whip somebody's ass if they called me a -blam!-, because one, I am Christian, and I have been taught to love my enemies and not to be tempted into violence, two, because they're not even being racist towards me, they're stereotyping/being ignorant jackasses, since I'm not even Chinese. I'm Korean, so if they misapply a racial slur towards me, they're just showing even more how retarded they are because they can't even get the racial slur right.

Yeah, all I'm saying is dont let it bother you that other people are racist. If they are actually acting on it like killing people because of race then of course it matters. But if all they are doing is talking then just ignore them.

The Native Americans. They were IMO, very smart in their ways of living. When they hunted, lets say Buffalo, they wouldnt waste any of it. All of the parts were used for somthing. If we hunted them now, most of it would just get wasted. Its sad really.


really, all hunter kids at my school, when they bag a deer, what do they do? make jerky, hang its head on the wall, make a few other foods with it and through away the rest, now i dont hunt, but if i did i wouldnt be that waistfull, i would do like my ancestors did and use every part of it for something

I guess you could say I'm part Native-American because I never throw away any of the food on my plate. :)

What? Play a game? FOR FUN???
This concept of fun confuses and infuriates me!

Well, I mean the way people do things now Crow. Besides the people at your school, what do most other hunters do? Take it home, get the things they want from it, and generally toss the rest is what I think. How much food at home gets wasted when you eat dinner? Be honest, do you eat everything on your plate, or does a lot of it get thrown away?
Another thing I ment by lazyness..
For example, lets use plastic. For a very long time, they used glass bottles for things. They switched from using glass to plastic for most things. Lazyness is one large factor. The US is becoming lazyer, and thus there is less recycling going on compaired to what it used to be 30-40 years ago.

@ crow: I don't think hanging a head on a wall is a good use of an animal's remains...
@ new: Obviously if you insult a cop, you will get in more trouble than if you didn't insult the cop. I think disrespecting an officer is a minor offence in the US, right?

And as for the whole racism thing, I haven't seen much, just the occaisonal retard. Also, if I were a black person, (I'm techncly half white/hispanic), I would justify beating up a white dude simply by stating all of the crap that the white man has done to Africa. The only reason why half of the continent is full of famine and disease is because of a little something called "imperialism", or in other words, when some idiot decided to take people with different skin colors from thier homelands so they could work for some old white ruler, (who was most likely only in power 'cause his ancestors killed a few people), 'till they died.

Most hunters I know use most of the meat. If they want to hang the head on the wall, (not much useable meat there), let them– it's not like the deer is using it any more.

I could rant on and on, but i'm not going to, because eventually I would be screaming at my computer and my friends would send me to an insane asylum, where I will go more insane being seperated from my laptop, but yea, I sympathyse with you.

Well Muskets, I really didnt say it in any offensive manner, and I really didnt mean anything by it. And some people act as though white men just showed up in Africa, forced some Africans onto some boats and took off. But the tribe leaders (or whatever they were called over there) traded their people for valuables. I'm not saying it justifies a few hundred years of slavery, just saying it was different than some people think.

lol

I think your just making up stuff just so you can post.

For my like 2-3 years of playing Halo, I have never seen a direct comment like 'K K K is here to stay..' that I can remember..

Maybe I just choose the right servers ;]

I am a Christian Cajun (LA guy). During the good days of the Halo Demo, some racist with the name "Whites Only" was saying to any player "Eat s-word, n-word!!!!!" If Halo Demo gave you admin commands. I am supposed to love my enemies, but with racists in my servers, I just can't let them say those things in my servers.

i never said it was a good use, i said it was a waist

yes there is food to be found in the head, theres the brain (yes alot of people and natives eat that) neck muscles (small portions but still edible) and in some countries they eat the eyes
and just cause the deer isnt using it anymore doesnt mean you can do whatever you want with it, thats why the natives used everypart of the body for something, they respected the land and the animals of it, and showed it by not waisting a bit of itand whatever they didnt use, they returned to the earth with burrying it or burning it while having a ritualistic sortof dance and chant

and im NOT just makin up stuff to post, i saw it first hand, dont tell me im makin it up

True but the white man should have known that it was crippiling the African society and stopped.

No, Halo is not becoming racist, its just aquiring racist users. The Ku Klutz -blam!- died a couple centuries ago, now we have Ku Klutz -blam!- Wana Bes, and they dont know what the Ku Klutz -blam!- is half the time. Sombody said somthing about Afracan-Amerecans. There is no suchthing as Afracan-Americans. Your either Afracan, or American. Not both; you can be a citazen of only one country. And how smart can you be if you go around in a bedsheet yelling"Doom on you! Doom on you!". And as far as that goes, How smart can you be if you cant spell a four letter word ("-blam!-" is spelled Clan. Period.). Racism is two kinds of stupid. If you dont like sombody, dont communicate with them. If you dont like being around them, go somwhere else. Im feel fine if sombody comes my country, but there are some _____ people who come here without greencards and\or the ability to speak English. That makes me angry. When they can speak at least broken english and have either greencards or citezenship, they are very welcome.

What are you talking about? What has deer hunting and trophy deer heads got to do with what whites did to blacks?

There is no such thing as African-Americans. Your either African, or American. Not both; you can be a citizen of only one country.


What? So, I guess that there aren't any more Irish-Americans, Mexican-Americans, African-Americans, or any other ethnic group, anymore, at all.

(From wikipedia.org)
African-American is a term that is used to describe a member of an ethnic group in the United States whose ancestors, usually in predominant part, were indigenous to Africa.

... Is that -5 because he's Christian? How's religious bias much different from racism? Excepting death cults and so on, because, yeah, that IS stupid.

The bungie.net community is the halo PC community that is renowned for being unbelieveably sucky.

Posted by: Anton P Nym


-- Steven may not be able to make these jerks change their minds, but he can make them shut up or leave .


Right....

Let's see, there are maybe 3 Bungie servers total that get used on a daily basis, and Bungie has done nothing in the course of 3 years to fix it.

Talk is cheap.
