Hmm, but how do you know it's not fun if you haven't tried yet? ;)

That's not whining.  It's the sound of the ICBM I sent over to your place. :D

LOL :D  Yeah, you're right.  I shouldn't try to convince those who don't want to be convinced.  Good news anyway, at least some folks got it. ;)  BTW, I'm glad to see that you are a courteous, honorable person, even online. !

I wonder, is that a good thing? ;)

People very much enjoy pissing other people off in the real world as well. ;)  Doesn't necessarily make it a good thing.  The internet is not an enabler of pissiness, only a different venue.

I can and do make assesments based on factors other than direct experience. Chasing a falling wreck pumping ammo into it is one of those instances.

Mold, it isnt a good or bad thing, but it is a "culturally acceptable" thing on the internet.

Cultures define their own good or bad.  The internet has its own culture (imo).  This culture is slightly different from our traditional Christian values Western civ culture.  Pissing people off is clearly seen as acceptable to the majority of internet gamers.

Hey, I just noticed this!  This is a good start.  I wonder, do you steal kills on a regular basis?  Eveyone gather round, mold has a question!  How many of you steal kills to piss other people off?  Don't be shy, this is a strictly confidential survey. :D

Satanic tribes consider sacrificing virgins on the altar at midnight to be culturally acceptable. ;)  Mmmmmmm....sacrificing virgins...  Damn, suddenly I feel like shooting some chutes!

I'm really not sure why you think I need help, or that I'm grasping at straws.

Mold- if some satanic tribe out in New Guinea feels that sacrificing their virgins on some altar is the "right" thing to do - then for them it is.  

Just because something isn't "culturally acceptable" in one culture does not mean that that culture has an absolute lock on what is moral and what is immoral.

So, you're saying then that there are no absolutes? Absolutely?

Hmmm, now that is a VERY interesting position.  OK, I am going to define a culture.  It is to be applied to a small Pacific Island 200 sq ft in size, whose sole population is me.  My culture requires me to kill everyone who lives in the USA.  Otherwise I don't get into heaven.  So I just killed everyone in the USA.  Now everyone else might try to kill me for that, but that is besides the point.  I don't care if I die, as long as I do what is required by my "culture".  Is my culture right, for me? ;)

You seem to be afraid of the very thought of kill-stealing.  Why not give it a try, just for a little while? :)
