The problem with wrestlers is they spend so much time "acting" (pay attention to the inverted commas) that I don't know if he means or is being "edgy" (once again pay attention to the inverted commas).

Jesus fucking Christ. We have the worst representatives. It seems to me that all the people who agree with me are flailing barbed-penis mental or just fucking stupid. Or too insignificant to matter. Then there's the fact that the other side of the fence has doctors, psychiatrists, lawyers, Members of Parliament and other people who "matter", as well as all the funding, studies, airspace and validity they could wish for.

We get a guy in pants called Randy.

This doesn't bode well for my already low self-esteem, y'know.

Of all the wrestlers to defend our hobby, we get Randy "Poops in Purses" Orton.

The guy has been suspended like a half-dozen times, for things like substance abuse and sexual harassment. He's a spoiled 3rd generation guy who's only gotten to where he is because of who his father and grandfather are.

And yes, he once pooped in one of the WEE Divas' handbags because she rejected his advances.

He's right, in a greased up while wearing black panties, kind of way.

The guy's right. I don't see why some people are jumping on him just because of his background or person. Even if the guy may or may not be a huge douche, what he's saying is true, so what's the problem? Attacking his personality as a way to sidestep his message is something I'd expect out of Bill O'Reily.

I don't see why some gamers are so worried about gaining the approval of closed minded sheep and sensationalist reporters. They don't seem to realize that whether it be Randy Orton or some people who "matter," these people won't change their stance until it's the accepted idea amongst just about everyone. As far as the regulations, laws, etc. I don't see such a big problem there either, video gaming is essentially going through the same thing movies and music went through. It'll get better with time, and not primarily because of the "representatives" in the public eye, but because of the growing number of gamers around the world. I'd honestly be surprised if in a few decades the "who doesn't like movies/music?" situation will also begin to include movies.

orton is a violent as a pancake. however if that quote were from mick foley, new jack, hell even tommy dreamer it will mean something

hes right there isnt enough blood in video games these days

Give the guy a break. I mean he only pooped in that Diva's handbag. Its not like he gave her a full-on Cleveland Steamer.

Matlox. Let's dive into this.

I can't help but feel you must be just a little bit mad if you can't see what I'm saying. It's really difficult for me to sum up because there's so many, many, MANY points for me to defend now that you've challenged them.

The industry will probably turn out fine, of course it will unless something mad happens. This isn't the problem. The problem is that it will either turn out fine because rational, intelligent logic will overrule fervoured fearmongering, or because all the wrong and stupid people will die out. Explaining the reasons why the former is the better option should be needless. I will gladly if you want me to, but it takes a lot of energy and time that I don't want to invest unnecessarily.

But that isn't the extent of the problem. There is also the fact that the current attitude tends towards people being told what to think. This isn't all bad or all good - so long as 1) what is being said is the truth OR 2) there is some form of counter-argument to what they hear then nothing too dishonest is likely to happen. But if people hear just one point of view, over and over again, with nothing to challenge it, from all the most influential and meaningful authorities, it just can't go well. Pardon Godwin's law but that's how the Nazi party got going. And the sheep, as you call them, just happen to be the ones raising the next generation. While I would still treat this guys opinion as valid, regardless of the fact that I think he looks like a complete wanker, other people won't.

Honestly, I'm beginning to confuse myself. I'm just getting tangled up in all the many different aspect that there are to this argument. Ultimately, I just resent the fact that the scales are so unbalanced, that our camp is so full of thoroughbred drooling morons and people who do nothing to support the delicate, intelligent arguments that the rest of us concoct, while the people who I consider to be mostly wrong get nothing to challenge them at all.

Randy Orton is one of the most brainless individuals in the history of the WWE.

If you've ever heard him bumble through a simple promo on TV then you know what I mean.

He's only good at being hated, and that's not because he's a good heel. It's because he just sucks so damn much.

I've always thought WWE was messed up in so many ways...ever since they shot that dude (i think shaun michaels?) in a parking lot. that was so messed up.

I think everyone who took his comments seriously just got worked by his heel persona.

Also, the irony of his newborn daughter poopin' so damn much makes me laugh at the Son of Man.
