3. You bitch about not being able to play it
4. More bitching
5. Some whining about how he spends his money

What part about that is wrong?


Your a god damn moron, that's what's wrong. Just like all the other idiots who call everyone else whiners/bitchers in every thread about anything. Now you've made this into an argument thread when there shouldn't of even been anything to argue about. I just can't believe how stupid you are.

Adaman:
...apologies...

So you're going to apologize?

I apologized to people I offended already. But, Hamburgerboy should apologize such for basically acting like a cock. I still feel like he didn't read my OP. He wasn't the only one who didn't though apparently. In my OP I was just questioning that method of buying gifts for people, I've never heard of it before, It was new to me, and sounded odd, but that's all. I'm not mad at my buddy at all, I'm just presenting the question asking if that was a common thing to do. Then everyone got their panties in a twist and went nuts on me. I wasn't whining, bitching, or ranting. It just struck me as an odd thing to do. I mentioned I don't care if i ever play the xbox or not, people just skipped over that line apparently. I could of definitely written out the OP better, but I don't find it to be offensive in anyway. Maybe I unkowingly touched on some religious thing. I celebrate Christmas myself, so i'm kind of familiar with it, but I don't know everything about it, or how everyone else celebrates it.

I'm tired of explaining myself though, I might just never understand the reaction to this thread, and I'll be ok with that, but I'm curious to know what the hell happened. I feel like i've got hacked and someone messed with my OP and i'm the only one who can't see it differently =p. That's not likely the case, but it seems that way to me.

The words 'whining' and 'bitching' are used way too much these days. I've read over my OP carefully and can tell you I wasn't doing either.

I know now that what they're doing with the Xbox360 is a common thing people do all the time for gifts, I can see by the replies of this thread. Just because it doesn't seem odd to you doesn't mean I won't think it's an odd thing at first. But I now have no problem with it at all, I really don't care about it, and never did care much about it. If that's how people do things at Christmas, I'm 110% fine with that. If he decides to take back his 360 because he changes his mind, I would have no problem with that either.

Adaman, do you honestly don't see what's wrong with your post? You try to make yourself seem like you're asking an innocent question but you toss in these absurd opinions and judgements that you inherently have. Him not opening the Xbox and waiting as his family wishes "aggravates" you? You yourself say in your OP that you're being selfish and you wonder why the community reacted to you as if you were a selfish person? My god, it's rocket science. Person claims he's selfish ---> posters agree that poster is selfish ---> OP gets offended and tries to start a tirade about how no one understands him ---> everyone looks around to their fellow posters and wonder what the OP is talking about ---> OP just can't get it and can't accept people's explanations of why he's being a jerk. Congratulations on a job well done.

Yes, I honestly don't see what the big deal is and still think people are way overreacting. I think It just got off to a bad start reply-wise, with trolls, and everyone decided to follow suit because it was the popular thing to do.

i don't think you offended people, you just rubbed them the wrong way....
you should've just 'move on' from the very beginning. but you didn't, so the punishment continues.

do you know what 'schadenfreude' means?

reread it again...you missed something.



Sure thing, I'll be waiting for you're thread on how you got "screwed over" because he won't let you play XBOX .

I know it's 100 against 1 here, but yeah, I'm still going to stand my ground. And I won't back down...(that Tom Petty song just came on, hrhr). So does that mean I still feel like I'm right in this thread and everyone else is wrong? Pretty much - People have still got all this hate for me, for no reason.

I'm going to buy a Wii for xmas, and I'm positive my buddy will be over to play it a lot, and I'll even get a controller for him, with no worries. I've been over at his house maybe 20 minutes in the past 5 years or so. He always comes over here to play games (PS2, Dreamcast, Gamecube, anything really) and I don't mind that at all, I don't feel like he's leeching off me or something. It's just something fun to do. All I want is for us to have something fun to do, and Xbox 360 is something kinda new, and would provide that.

I hate arguing, but I feel I have to defend myself in this case, i've been mucho wrongfully accused.

And yet he did it again. I must ask. Is it confirmed that he is really 21? He doesnt come across to me as being one. More around the ages of 8-12.

Please read all my replies before getting all pissed about it =X

I'm trying to be real nice about the whole thing because I didn't know it would make so many people angry, and this has poured over into other threads I make, and I don't like it. I don't want to have an undeserved bad rep.

I have been holding back from replying to you Adaman, but you make it too hard. You "hate to bump this thread?" Come on, it sounds like you are enjoying this to me. It was dead.. 24 hours gone and people had let it die. But no, you had to bump it for more pwnage of yourself.

That being said, I read your OP (yes, thoroughly) and it came off as nothing else but a complaint and sounded like the OP was P|ssed Off. I let my co worker read it (and none of the replies) and he agrees.

Trust me, there is plenty of reason. And I doubt that you hate arguing. Actually it seems to me like you live for it. Why else would you bump a thread where you are getting PWNED after 24 hours of no replies?

and FFS.. and I can't stress this enough
Its COULD HAVE, not could of
Its SHOULD HAVE, not should of
Its WOULD HAVE, not would of


If you are going to use a word that much, at least get it right!!!

The issue isn't the fact that you play with your friend's toys and that he plays with your's. It's lines like "Yes, of course I want to play it and that's why I'm kind of TO'd about it, we really don't have any other games to play right now" that make you sound like a spoiled kid. Calling it crazy to wait on opening Christmas presents makes it seem even more so.

When I was in college I was an avid comic book collector, specifically the Uncanny XMen. My parents didn't know which issues I had and which backcopies I needed, so a couple of months before Christmas they took me to the comic book store and gave me a bunch of money. I bought a huge stack of backcopies and took them to the car, where Mom & Dad were waiting. They immediately confiscated them - to be opened on Christmas day.

A day or two later I found them anyway while my parents were at work. By Christmas, they were all well read.

Anyways Adaman these guys are sad.

Its a gift, the guy is 21, he can drive etc. etc.

Keeping it in his house and waiting until Christmas is just juvenile.

I bet you guys get spoonfed your Thanksgiving day dinner too.

Geeez.

Get a life people. You friend Adaman, needs to grow up.
