HTC with the use of AH has done what I belive what many people in the world have been searching for and that is they have created a virtual perfect society. Minus the premise of the game which is total destruction, if we focus on the human aspect it is quite amazing. In AH we have hundreds of people from around the world who come together to talk and play and no one is being judged on Race, Religion, Age, Education, Income or many other factors that have made the world a hatefull place. This game is a place where a simple check 6 call can lead to a lasting friendship with someone who at many other times you may have never wanted to talk too, and that is because friendships and respect in this game are based largely on personal character. Someone who is 16 is given the same respect as someone who is 40, a person who only has a high school diploma is treated the same as a person with a PhD. Just think, you have probably flown wingman for countless numbers of pilots based solely on their character and that to me is a beautifull thing. The first thing people ask is not what someones race or religion is and that allows the blindfolds of ignorance to be lifted and everyone is given equal chance to prove themselves as a person of good character. Well that about wraps it up, I would love to hear everyones thoughts but I hope most feel the same way, that we play in a world with no hate (other than hate caused by the game) that is based on anything more than a persons character.

There is no chance I could have said that any better. I totally agree. There such a vast array of cultures and ages, and no one is really "judged" per say. It's a wonderful place here, I have met many great people. Cool post btw, hehe. :D

Drink more beer.

I agree to a point, although I suspect you haven't been reading enough O'Club or Main threads on race, religion, age, education or income.
It can get pretty hateful in here.
Although....even when the most argumentative people actually meet at Cons etc. they generally become great friends.

When I wrote the post I was reffering to the actuall game itself, I know the BB is a completly different case.

I don't know.
I can't stand those 14 year old tards who constantly babble bull **** on range channel just because they like the idea of other people hearing the sound of their voice. It's at times like that, that I wish they'd turn off kill shooter.

No, but your post suggests that you might have even a light smattering of compassion, which to some of the "tough guy conservatives," on this BBs, is like garlic to a vampire.
Right, Buffy? :aok
I drink beer and tote guns too, and I wouldn't vote for Bush for all the WMD in....oh, wait...nevermind...:rolleyes:

Thoughtful post, RTStuka, and like any offering to ersatz fighter pilots around the bar, it generates primarily aw shucks you big sappy lug have another beer endorsement of your camaraderie.
Meaning, thanks for buying the next round.
