What about if these guys actually CAN'T speak english....? Will they stay silent while playing together, just because it happens that this PUBLIC server is frequented by a majority of english speakers? Moreover, since you can actually MUTE them if they annoy you, I really don't see any problems with them speaking french.


I assumed they could, because in your other post you said they could speak 2 languages.

I suppose that if you know you're not the only person on the server that speaks a foreign language, you should go ahead and talk. But if you can't understand other people and they can't understand you, then there really isn't much of a point in talking.


I think I mentioned somewhere they were playing together... so I guess they are speaking to someone, isn't it.


That wasn't my point. If they could speak english, then they should do so on an english server.

Well, unfortunately, most of them don't speak english very well. But as I mentioned, even when you can do it corectly, it is hard to do when running around firing.

Gosh, am I sick and tired of hearing about racism all the time!! I personally could not give a $hit either way. Do you think I care about the looks I get being a white boy driving through a black neighborhood, or the looks I give a black guy driving through my neighborhood?? I could care less!! Thats the way it is, thats the way it will always be. No amount of discussion, rallies, or community events will ever get rid of it. So get used to it, thats the way the world works. Acts of violence because of racial hate are wrong and shouldn't happen....but they do. It is programmed in our minds to scrutinize something thats is different from ourselves, may it be color, race, size, sex, intelligence, opinion or whatever. YOUR ALL GUILTY, some take it further than they should but everyone forms opinions in their minds or outloud about someone or something they find different or un-superior to themselves.

Example: Mankind is in the utmost control of the animal kingdom, we can do to it what we wish. So is this to say that if you own a dog and train it to do tricks. On your command that dog rolls over or sits...is it your slave? Sure you feed it and play with it, but the dog knows your the boss. If your the boss, this means you are superior to that dog so is that racist? See how stupid this discussion is, it can go on and on forever in circles and not solve a damn thing but to pound into everyones mind that there is a problem. How does constantly pointing out the problem ever solve it?

In close if there was no racism and we all got along and loved each other, I think alot of people would miss the drama and debate......I suppose there is always politics.

Just for the sake of discussion, indeed, in some ways he is your slave. You see, there is something called human rights, and you can't do to them like you do to your dog.... Well...., Blue is my bitch, we all know that, but that is something else entirely...

Anyway, all I want to say is, we can't change things up and make a perfect world Vicoden, that's right. But we can try to improve it a little.

I guess out my entire "rant" what I wanted to express the most is, imo we just hear too much about the problem, alot of people wouldn't dwell on it so much if it wasn't brought up all the time. And I am not talking about just here, at least here you can express your opinion. More so with the media, and how every story or breaking news event dwells on the fact that it was a white man that shot a black man or a white cop that shot a black suspect. They intentionally make it a issue when most of the time it isn't.

People in general crave drama. The way the press sells is to make things dramatic. Even if it is not that dramatic they will find a way to make it that way.
