Built in voice chat in counterstrike seemed like a good idea in theory

"OMG, did you see that guy on the bus today?"

"*squeal* oh man, what a i love you!"

"Sometimes I like to use the machine gun because its cheaper"

"Sometimes you're gay"

"Fuck you homos"

"Lets go this way guys...c'mon guys follow me! You damn homos c'mon follow me!"

"This is so gay"

"The AWM is so gay"

"I'm gay...I mean you're gay. You're a i love you"

STFU. God, at least you can turn it off.

And if you sound like a 6 year old girl...

1) Go through puberty.
2) Kill yourself in your parents basement already.

I just started playing CS about 2 weeks ago. What a bunch of stupid assholes.

yea... that's why I only use voice chat only with friends who I know won't talk like that, kinda ruins the mood of the game.

I've not played CS in a while, but yes, the built-in chat can be annoying. But you can mute people. When I played, it was mostly clan stuff and the voice comm was great for matches. Much better than Roger Wilco or some other voice comm program.

Marx's idea of a communism *works* - it's just that Soviet Russia, as well as a few other "Communist" nations conveniently forgot to take a few steps; like, for instance how it would best take place in a capitalistic society . . ..

lets turn this into a discussion on the relative merits of communism!

See, where marx was wrong, was in the fact, that heavily industrialized nations provide a high enough standard of living so that the "proletriat" isn't going to rise up. No worker strike, no revolution. In modern times, the only class of people who had such a crappy life that they would over throw the gov't were the peasnts of russia and china.

and she plays CS too, keeper!!
Well, she was cute...but stupid. She thought using the word 'negatory' in person was really funny, when it's obviously really, really annoying. Also she kept talking about her time in the USAF when A) she was Canadian and B) she was 19.

:confused:

has to be better than playing on a desert map in BattleField and people using the built com stuff saying take the Battleship and shit.

I would argue otherwise - granted, yes, the standard of living has gone up, there are "safety"nets for people that fall behind (we won't argue the merits about that . . . for now) but look at Wal-Mart, for instance - they heavily oppose the unions that are supported by the wrokers, and that is the standard model of most big corporations - true the living conditions aren't miserable where they are starving and freezing to death (literally), but the common workers would be feeling (in my mind) like that the higher-ups are profiting from their seat and blood, which they see a scant portion of. And to a certain degree, I would agree - also, I would argue that what Marx was referring to *is* happening right now as we speak in the US - the public backing of unions is starting to rise, and the economic culture, generall speaking, is chanign its paradigm.

A lot of people mistake Philosophy as a "system that needs to be implemented in society"; that couldn't be more wrong - it is merely a "description" of why things have happened this way, explaining the reason via logic, and using the said logic, forecasting the future.

Having said that, I believe, to a certain degree, that Marx is right. So far.
