And it's worth pointing out that the only people who make an issue out of it are those who are uncircumcised, Bohandas being the only exception I have ever encountered in my life.
That's a strawman argument.

Oh, Jesus.

Have a male kid, be sure to keep from circumcising him, and then contradict SalmonGod on a subject he said he wouldn't discuss anymore which he presumably has vastly more experience in than you do.

The part of me that is trying to kill the derail here is happy.

The inner scientist doesn't give a fuck, because what I really want to do right now is relax.

That's a strawman argument.
It's not a strawman so much... it's just that the argument could equally apply in reverse.  "It's worth pointing out that the only people who make an issue out of not being circumsized are those who are circumsized".  It's almost as if the vast majority of men are happy with the shape of their penises either way, and it's difficult to tell whether the (relatively small) risks of circumcision outweigh the (relatively small) benefits.

Bay12; the only website I know where a thread about raging could be briefly turned into a thread about circumcision.

Anyway, I'm raging because I just realised how bland and easy most modern FPS games are.

Cool.  Argue about this to your heart's content in the actual thread, by the way, but I'm exerting "Vector Space Police Force" here because multiple people have asked us to stop discussing dicks in the rage thread.  So, er... yup.  That's all.

Over and out.

*shrug*

I'll make my position clear.  I felt like arguing a while ago.  I thought SalmonGod's post was interesting.  About halfway in the middle of writing that post I went "auuuugh no more arguing let's just chill."

So, uh, I can't say that I'm doing a good job, but my current position is going to be to stop the derail, I guess, more than anything else.  If SG feels like discussing it more, he can hop over to the original thread.  But there's no need to hang out here, replying to someone who said he wouldn't talk back.

I love so many 90's FPSs.  Doom, Heretic, Quake, Descent.  And Shogo but that's early 2000s.

The only modern FPSs I really liked were Bioshock and the Metroid Prime series.  Everything else seems so recycled.

How about Halflife?  That counts, doesn't it?

I wouldn't know about modern FPS's being easy.  I kind of suck at all/most of them.

I enjoyed TF2 as a non-generic FPS until it got all weird with the hats and the grinding.  I can't think of many FPS's I've really enjoyed in the last 4 or 5 years though. 

But I'm hoping that the new Serious Sam is as much fun as the originals.

If he had posted it in the actual topic, I would have answered in the actual topic.
He posted it here, so I reacted here.

That's all there is to it.
I'm not doing anyone a favor.
If people will stick to the original thread, then so will I.
