    -THE OFFICIAL-*******Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2*******-THREAD-

    in Off-Topic General

    Posted

    I was playing the estate level today on free for all. I spent the first couple of minutes cruising around the front area of the house. I died so I went inside the house from the back, planted a claymore at the back exit. I turn the corner and see a guy coming in the front door so I kill him. My heartbeat sensor says there are people all around so I hit the corner directly under the stairs going up stairs and I peg people off for about 1 minute as they are walking inside.

    This guy who I killed freaked out via bluetooth. Loses it! Tries to come get me and dies via the claymore I set. So he is screaming on his headset "fracking campers, fracking campers...there is a guy sitting under the steps camping with claymores!!!

    So I rotate around to the living room and kill the guy again as he comes in guns blazing thinking I'm in the corner. He throws a hissy fit and leaves the game. Sends me a message laced with swears. Lol WTF??

    Ok that is actually pretty funny because that guy got served, but I hate campers as well.

    ***The UFC/MMA THREAD***

    To condemn the UFC for both its violence and stuff like the Lesnar "incident" is extremely hypocritical in so many ways.

    Why is boxing ok? Just because they wear gloves? Those things can still mess you up and the long term effects of boxing are well known. Fighting is allowed in hockey and lacrosse, the latter of which is essentially bare-knuckle boxing. We advertise and glorify movies and moments that deal with "being a man" and standing up for ones self. The idea that you are a better person if you are physically dominant or impressive.

    So Lesnar flipping off the crowd and making comments about his wife is bad, on a PPV event and not live national television, but people laugh and chuckle when they watch old videos of Mike Tyson rants. Or it's ok for some forms of music to advocate violence and female degradation as long as there is an "explicit lyrics" label on the CD. People need to thicken up their skin. Those who are whining about it are just looking for an excuse to bash the UFC.

    If somebody wants to subject their body to a violent act, that is their choice. If somebody wants to watch this act for enjoyment, that is their choice. This is where J.S. Mill's "Harm Principle" applies, the law should have no jurisdiction over what people do to their own bodies, as long as it does not violently harm the innocent. Moral disagreement and disgust are not just grounds for outlawing something.

    I totally agree with you, but that doesn't make Hendo's second blow to Bisping's face ok. He was already out cold and could have suffered serious damage from that, or in the worst scenario death. Whatever the case is, that shouldn't happen again. Henderson even said he did it by choice, he knew he was out.
