And I thought Australians were retarded.

(Rather mute point considering there mostly a bunch a brits with previous)

Reasons not to torrent
-Internet can be cut off over here if I do.
-I'm fucking stupid with torrents and short of '1 night in Paris' I've never got any to work.

-I can get games cheap over here anyway.

#Also, he only just found out about this? I've known for what yonks that he does.

I really don't see Video Game companies trying over torrent users. Maybe I wouldn't do it if that were the case, but over here, games are so fricken expensive.

<_< Well... I just talked to Spencer.


He's not as douche-y as you guys seem to think he is. He's fine with the way I torrent stuff, and is pretty pissed at how you're all ganging up on him since he said that 'stealing is wrong.' Which is true, it is.

I've only ever torrented for 3 reasons.

1.) I can't get it where I live, or for any other reason. (usually anime)
2.) It's overpriced for the -quality- of the game, not because I think it's overpriced. (basically companies just in it for the cash)
3.) I want to be able to try the game before I buy it. (hurr durr)

But if I don't like it, I get rid of it. I don't keep it on my computer, except to seed it to a 1 to 1 ratio. If I do like it, I try my damned hardest to get it, scrounging up what money I can to purchase it, or waiting until the price goes down, or buying it at a discount (smart shopping for the win,) etc, etc.

But I doubt you guys'll understand where I'm coming at, but I honestly feel it's the truth that stealing is stealing. Now, I'm not going to be judgmental and say 'hurr I'm leaving!' or even stop RPing with you guys, or feel your cretins and horrible people, because you aren't. You're human beings, I understand that part, and I can't judge you differently.

Because that's your life, that's your ideals, that's your way of thinking, and that's your responsibility to carry any weights it bears (if any) and not mine.




Just my two cents on this.

Actually about the ganging thing... When Baron and I got into a dispute I kept my mouth shut. Never told a soul. Welllll, Baron decided to make a fool of himself and approach Mike, thus causing the spiral of debate against him. He almost ~purposely aligned everyone against him.

Ah well. Baron is Baron. Always has been like this. Always will be.

It depends. He can be... But if you learn to just accept his rants for what they are, rants, something that he's trying to do to see if you can prove your worth to him, you can get past that and get into 'friendship mode' I suppose. Really, I guess it's about compatibility. He has his rights and wrongs that he sticks to, and if you can either find a way to live with him or not, that's a mutual decision.

He lives in an odd balance, but a balance none the less. He's not willing to compromise his morals (and you do not need religion to have morals, don't get that idea in your head. He's not religious.) And he's not willing to compromise what he feels is right and wrong for other people. He's also not willing to be tempted by what he feels is right and wrong, and that leads him to 'outcast' himself from us.

Right and wrong are not universal, they are personal values. Just as morals are, though they tend to be on a grander scale. When it comes down to it, he's just more Lawful Good than any of us can hope to be.



And I'm fine with that.






TL;DR I'm still friends with the 'douche' because I feel like it, and I still like the bastard after all these 5-6 years. -I- Think he's a good guy. Doesn't meant you have to.

He is a pompous ass. What a great guy.

I would rather be friends with many friendly "criminals" than absolute douchebag "lawful" guys.

I'm glad I take everything with a grain of salt and as other peoples opinions.

I'm also glad of the fact that I can get along with pretty much anyone, so long as they are separate people.

But that's just me.

And that's just you.

And I'm glad I can see that.

I'm glad that I can choose who my friends are. Constant judgments and spoiled brat attitude from Spencer is not "worth" my friendship.

So he flies.
