If you cant judge people for being willingly *insert negative characteristic*, when would anyone be allowed to judge anything? Obviously they don't think it's a negative characteristic. Judging people is useless anyways as there are no universal rules for what's good and bad, just people and their opinions. | ||

Anyway, I just hope nobody characterizes America based on this because, my God lol, if so we're in trouble. lol, if americans were characterised as party time and trippin balls and takin pills, I'd have way more respect for them. | ||

There may be no universal rules, but some opinions tend to be universally better than the others. | ||

TL isn't more intelligent than the average society, it's just easier to find more intelligent people within the community because of the fact that it's a large population on the internet that promotes intelligence at its forefront, and therefore is able to filter through many people extremely rapidly until it brings out the intelligent ones. Intelligent people in TL? Care to explain? | ||

It seems though that most people in this video would be drop kicks though (hard to say though if you watch all the interviews). Comparing it to female genital mutilation is an odd parallel that I don't think fits to well. Yea it was a little hyperbolic. I shouldnt have used an example that literally involves hurting other people. If they truly arent harming others then I dont really see a problem with "live and let live" If their ideas are spreading though, thats another story | ||

Unless you want to get all existential and goin on about how "we all die in the end" or "were all just specks in the universe" or whatever, I really think that judging people and characteristics is very useful when it comes to improving society and benefiting human kind. Science and intellectualism has helped increase the quality and length of the average human life. ICPs lyrics "And I don’t wanna talk to a scientist. Y’all motherfuckers lying, and getting me pissed" goes directly against the very thing that has benefited us. I judge their willful ignorance to be detrimental to society. How is that wrong? | ||

Yea, i don't feel like this is really a huge deal. It's been around forever in some form or another. I feel like there are a lot of people out there who don't care about things enough to educate themselves, and they'll kind of band together as sort of an anti crowd to the well educated, but it's nothing new. Like someone else said earlier, ICP was basically rap for rednecks. | ||

Gaming subculture is NOT ostracised by the regular society. Unless you come from some third world country who can't afford basic facilities like the Internet and IT stuff. Stop arguing for argument's sake. | ||

well, there was actually a guy near the beginning who was quite articulate. And the guy going on about his liver said probably the most true thing that can be said about living life to the fullest. | ||

Completely wrong. Any judgment is completely worthless and irrelevant if you haven't tried walking a mile in the shoes of whoever you are judging, or at least considered it. It is due to your way of thinking that there is hate and war in the world. Case in point: you obviously haven't even watched the video in the OP, yet you had time to look up some lyrics. Science and intellectualism hasn't increased the quality of your life, it looks like. | ||
