Support NeoGAF

[Unknown Soldier]

You people have the entire rest of the Internet to talk about it. Why are you so desperate to bring it up here?

At the 45 second count:

At the time of this interview, the people falling to their deaths from the sky happened two days ago, not four or five. No words.

That place is the hot new place to be, hang out with account suiciders and the banned.

Someone PM’d it to me yesterday. Omg wow I can watch brap post game news threads copied from here with an occasional sarcastic comment thrown in. BRB suiciding my neogaf account.

I won’t regret it until the leaders rage quit and/or lose interest and the site dies, oh wait one of them just did.

Pretty sure every possible scenario of discussing this will end with someone calling me a cock sucker, so I'll pass.

We can't discuss Afghanistan due to it being "political" yet the usual suspects are throwing political softballs followed by a jk in the covid thread and it's perfectly fine.

It's sad to say but if you want to discuss Afghanistan freely you can go to "the other place".

Opa-Ages, The Bore, ResetEra... I imagine more splinters at times I wasn't paying attention. This forum has always been divisive because of its uncanny ability to attract and foster pure garbage. It's no different now. The entire "give everyone a megaphone" aspect of the internet is the end of functioning society.
Enjoy, cunts. I'm off to start a vineyard in Oregon.

Cue witty permaban explanation.

This might sound stupid, but why can't we just colonize Afghanistan? If the people there are unwilling to fight for their sovereignty and the alternative is being ruled by the Taliban, why not be ruled by the U.S. and it essentially becomes a territory of the U.S. with all the benefits that brings? We get resources like oil and precious metals, and they get to live in peace and the women can be free and educated.

That's kinda stupid, what if the Afghani people don't want to be ruled by Americans?

 

[Lanrutcon]

Even if the forum allowed political discourse, I am not sure I'd even want to anymore.

We regularly get into shitflinging arguments around decade old kids games.

Imagine what political and religious topics result in. Pretty sure the mods do, and thus here we are.

While I think leaving could've been handled a lot better and I'm astonished by how gullible the USA intelligence was believing it wouldn't happen (so quickly at least), I still thinkevery country has to learn to stand on their own feet.

It is an absurd thought that any one country should handheld another country for a very long time and US was there for 20 years.

As someone from the UK I miss the political banter that wasn't the usual TDS / ACAB nonsense you saw in the mainstream meaning you actually got to see a different side of America.

As for Afghanistan I feel that as it's something that will affect everyone in this forum for years to come therefore it deserves proper discussion. Hopefully some exceptions can be allowed?

Please tell me this is a joke ... You're joking right? I can't tell anymore

It’s sarcasm/irony. I never liked anyone who went there that much to follow them to a different site

 

[Meicyn]

saw a post on era that very much echos my sentiment on the subject :


that Biden speech left a really bad taste in my mouth

It was a shit tier speech from someone passing the buck when they should be owning the fuck-up. It is interesting how some of the folks on Era and other areas on the internet who were livid when Trump abandoned the Kurds in Syria are playing apologist for Biden after abandoning the Afghans who supported us.

Garbage tier human beings. No spine, just blind adherence to the party.

Had me scared, Bruv.

What in the fuck is this shit
I go to off topic and this is the 5th thread?

Mother fuckers
I STILL HAVE THE NOTIFICATION UP

Go be a Political Jock elsewhere, this forum is about fanfucking vidya games

After the worldwide pandemic of narcissism that swept the western world a few years ago you can't have any discussion anymore. People need emotional support pets when they are confronted with the idea, that somebody might have a different opinion than himself, herself or (insert pronoun).

The board of old is dead. You can discuss some vanilla topics, but in general, you must just walk as much on eggshells like on the other board.

Of course, it would be great to be able to discuss topics like that, but those times are gone. The emotional hemophiliacs have won. Better get you bubble wrap ready. Not just for OT, but also for the games board, if you are going against the narrative.

Bruh you should go look at my post history and see how much shit I get away with
Stay outta the shit the mods want you to and you're fine

Hence why I'm not always posting people ROM and bios links for emulators and asking why the fuck they pay for any software

It's not a matter of "Support pets."
If you talk about fucking children at Chuck E Cheese they're going to ask you to leave
There is such a thing as audience and venue; that's what people haven't learned regarding interactions on the internet
And by no fault of their own; not every parent let their kid on their BBS accounts back in the day, or even knew what usenet was, for instance
