Here’s another Fact: 40,000 children die every day from Malnutrition, Starvation, or Hunger-related diseases.
Through the church I belong to, there is a program call Kids Against Hunger. Volunteers take Rice, Soy, dried veggies and some flavoring and mix it together. It is shipped to 3rd world countries and other impoverished areas where it is mixed with water and then cooked. It turns into a kind of gruel/soup stuff that actually tastes pretty good. Each serving costs about 23 cents. And the really sad part is that most of the starving people’s stomachs have shrunken down so much that they can barely eat half of a serving.
e.
So why don’t you all get off your gluttonous self-centered asses and do something to help someone for once!

I'm not sure about percentages, but I do know that the PS2 is the top selling console to this date.Interesting fact is that in the last generation (Xbox ps2 and game cube) over all ps2 controlled almost 70% of gaming market. [I am almost 100% sure that you are incorrect. Possibly 70% of the console gaming market, but there is no way that they domintated the ENTIRE gaming market.]
I think what elf is trying to say here is that you could be playing real football for far less than it costs to play a digital version of it. Personally, football isn't my sport, but I would still much rather play a real game of it with my friends than sit on a couch pushing buttons on a piece of plastic and pretend to play.Fact: foot balls (American, and rest of the world-ian) and other sport balls can all be found for under $20. [So, what are you saying, that anyone who owns a next-gen system is a fat ass? I may not be skinny, but I'm sure as hell not lazy, I find time to be active and play games.]
I don't think Elf meant that you shouldn't spend any money on yourself, just that you should try to think about others too. And as for the needy learning to help themselves, that is the most selfish inconsiderate comment I've heard in months. How can people learn to help them selves if no one teaches them? How are the helpless supposed to help themselves? Not every country is as rich as Britain, Canada, or the United States, nor as gluttonous. Canada uses the most amount of energy per capita than any other country. The United States has a mere 5% of the worlds population, but uses over 25% of the worlds ressources. Being as rich as we are, telling the less fortunate that they need to learn how to help themselves is just greedy, selfcentered, and pathetic.If you think that all the money we put towards video games should go to the poor. How come you play nerf wouldn't that money be better spent on 3rd world countries. One longshot could feed like 130 people you know. Don't preach to me that I should help the needy. The needy need to learn how to help themselves.
Here's another Fact: 40,000 children die every day from Malnutrition, Starvation, or Hunger-related diseases. [And I'm sure you give your $20 to Greenpeace or whomever every year? I take time out of my life to build for Habitat for Humanity, and I'm sure other gamers perform community service. Sure, not all of them, but I'm really not sure what you're saying here; just because we spend 500$ on a vid game sys means we don't donate to people to save lives? I gave to Tsunami survivors, Katrina suvivors. I will not however donate to food for starving kids. I donate once and awhile to science to find cures for diseases plauging Africa and the rest of the world, but if I save one kid, 39,999 could still die, so what's the point.]
Is it really unecessary, or was this phrase have a long time comingSo why don't you all get off your gluttonous self-centered asses and do something to help someone for once![Just unnecessary]

I love you too.Newsflash douchebag;
I never said you don't give anything, now did I? And about not spending money on yourself, to quote myself: "I don't think Elf meant that you shouldn't spend any money on yourself". And what's wrong with giving money to people that we don't know who are probably going to die anyway? If we can help to improve the quality of someone else, why does it matter if we know them, or if they die shortly afterwards?in the past 5 years I've given more to charities and other funds that are for the good of other people then I've spent on videogames. Do you want me to give every penny I make? Let's give to people we don't know who are probably going to die anyway, and then GIVE SOME MORE!
As I said, I don't know the numbers.No one said that PS2 didn't sell the most, but I don't agree with the fact that "they controlled 70% of the market" or whatever.
So what you're saying is that we should just sit around while thousands of people are starving and dying? While that's very decent of youYes that fucking blatant generalization was totally unnecessary, as was most of your post.
Who gives a shit if you'd rather play real football? You can't play real football all day. You can't do it with your disabled friends who want to feel like they can actually play, if videogames is as close to playing as they can get, you might as well play with them.
If you didn't notice, I also mentioned Canada using more energy per capita, and I said as a country. I didn't say "RAMBO, you greedy SOB, quit using all the F***ING ressources!" I said that as a society, we are very well off and should be doing more. If you are already giving a lot, you are doing your part.Again, your United States comment is an unnecessary GENERALIZATION. If I give 50% of what I make to charity or whomever you want me to give to and other pompous assholes who make 10x me decide to give nothing, how does that make me look? Bad. Gamers could be quite generous as a whole.
Nice day to you too.Until you find a fucking resource and cite it and it shows that gamers as a whole donate less than the United States as a whole, SHUT THE FUCK UP

I'm not going to state any numbers because, quite frankly, I don't know any, but I will bet any amount of money that there are 5 or more diseases out there that kill more annually than hunger does.]in the past 5 years I've given more to charities and other funds that are for the good of other people then I've spent on videogames.

Nice day to you too.[Stay with me here. We are posting in a video game thread. Generalizations about people have been made. What kind of people? Video gamers. So, I ask you, if generalizations have been made about video gamers as a whole, and those generalizations false, I think I have the right, as a gamer, to defend myself and the groups of gamers I belong to.]Until you find a fucking resource and cite it and it shows that gamers as a whole donate less than the United States as a whole, SHUT THE FUCK UP
In closing, I'd like to refer to my previous post and say: I'm amazed at how defensive and offended people get when others don't sugarcoat every one of their phrases, or point out faults.[I am not offended by the ignorance of others. Some who have posted in this thread must be in heaven(If you don't get this, too bad). I don't care if you sugarcoat anything, as either way I would not be offended. All I ask is that you represent facts, not your incorrect views.]

PS1 > Everything of its generation
PS2 > Xbox > Gamecube (Xbox controllers = shit, Gamecube just wasn't very good.)
If it weren't for Halo, Xbox would have died a long time ago, and the 360 would never even be made. That's why Halo gets so much money in Royalties from Microsoft, because it's solely responsible for the survival of the Xbox.

Pineapple, I don't mean to put down Nerf or you but you say that you don't respect anything that makes smart people act like animals.
What do you think we are doing? We can be smart when designing and building working guns but then we shoot each other while frantically picking up ammo and screaming and laughing at each other.
I think that makes us seem more like animals, too.
