Title: Greed
Post by: UncleBob on August 14, 2009, 02:24:33 AM
Greedy Bastards.

Let's say I want to start a program.  Everyone who has more money than me must go out and buy me video games as I want them.  If you have more money than me, you have to say in it.  If you don't comply, I get to send people to your house with guns.

Now, if you object, I get to call you greedy.  After all, why should you have so much money when I don't?  Greedy bastards, you shouldn't get to hoard your money while I do without.

I'm pretty sure this crosses the politics line, myself.  Does this mean politics are now allowed in the funhouse, Pap? :p

It's not greed, it's pay for services rendered.

Personally, I don't get it. Maybe there is a meaning to this thread but I have no idea what it is alluding to. Thus, this thread makes no sense. Therefore, it should go to the funhouse along with other non-sensical threads.

I think it is funny.

Uncle Bob complaining about greed when he has all those wii points on his Dsi and Wii.
Title: Re: Greed
Post by: UncleBob on August 14, 2009, 11:42:45 PM
Who says I'm alluding to anything.  I just think it's unfair that others have things I don't have, so they should have to give me what I want - and if they don't do such, then they're just being greedy.

I think Unclebob's being ironic.

Think about it. Unclebob's complaining that people are greedy because they have a lot of stuff when he doesn't. He then states that those people should give him stuff in order to avoid being labeled as greedy.

The point is that Unclebob is being greedy as well since he wants stuff to be given to him so he can be at peace.

Funhouse material to me!

Send me some one your winning Pepsi points UB, you selfish mother.

I think I know something about UB. So I would agree that based of off that, this could be political.

Now, see, that's not right.  Because politics aren't allowed on these forums.  I'm just saying, people who won't give me stuff are greedy for not giving away their belongings, time, or money.  They're greedy bastards.

I suggest we all start calling unclebob's phone number until he sends us some pepsi points. Who's with me?

And now you are being greedy, since greed is the extreme desire for material possessions.

Irony at its finest.

Irony, huh?

You mean, it's ironic to call someone greedy because they have something you want and they won't give it to you?

I would call this thread extortion rather than greed.

Moved this puppy over here, because I'm one of the capitalist pigs that UncleBob is railing against here (in veiled terms, mind you).

Silly, silly proletariat.

Lindy, you won't silence me.  Give me your games!

I heard Lindy was outside carrying a sign with my face and a swastika over it.
Title: Re: Greed
Post by: that Baby guy on August 17, 2009, 11:40:53 AM
Nah, I'm pretty sure Lindy was paid to be there, his close were too nice, so he wouldn't be caught dead anywhere near a swastika.  That was probably Pale.

Aren't you the one who uses any opportunity to show off your Nintendo collectibles and such?
Title: Re: Greed

I spend so much money on Nintendo collectibles that I can't afford games.

Collect Pepsi caps then.

But he shares the photos, Mop_it_up.  Quit being so greedy.  Sheesh.

You're just trying to change the subject.  Fact is, there are those who have more games than I do.  I want your games.  You're just being greedy because you won't give them to me.  You sit around all day, smokin' cigars while swimming in your pools of games, meanwhile I have to work my butt off every day just to get by.  Greedy bastards.

But if I give you my games then you'll have more games than I do. Wouldn't that then make you greedy?

Mop_it_up smokes cigars? Tell me it is not true!

Technically, you wouldn't give him your games directly.  I'm pretty sure you'd give them to the IGDS, and then they'd give them to the ESA, and then the ESA would give them to you and UncleBob in a more even and "fair" manner.  They'd take some of UncleBob's games, too, but only if he purchased more than, say, 5 games this year, and even then, he'd probably get more games back than he'd give up.

Don't forget, the ESA would probably keep a bunch of those games for themselves.  But hell, I end up with more than I started with and I don't have to do anything for it.  Sounds like a great plan to me!
