Rocket Propelled Gordon

I have no answers.

I feel we are getting a little off-topic, people.

You are entitled to your opinion; but my passion for war and the game of strategy is still strong.

I'm actually kind of neutral on that topic. No I'm not. Several others here have stated how stupid and painful war is. Well, whatever you people may believe, I am still firm on the topic of my love of war. Horseshit. I already stated that a very good true meaning should be having the human race expand into the stars and survive, not kill each other like fucking wolves. We as a species, no matter how hard you try, will always fight. We are aggressive people. So why don't we embrace that? What's the point of expanding? In the end, what good is it? We'll be colonizing new planets, moons, rocks, asteroids, all sorts of things. But what good is it? In the end, we are nothing but atoms, moving around in a certain way that makes us feel alive. Yes, the good. The apathy the brutality, the callousness, the violence of man, all great and worthwhile values. I don't get it. You want your son to die then? You want him hurt? You want him in pain, when he could do something like further the cause of science, education, or an easier lifestyle? I want my son to live in glory, renown across all the lands as the man that stood proud and tall; something, no doubt your son would wish to do. To ensure humanity's survival, spread, freedom, and a less painful existence. Survival, spread, freedom, and a less painful existence, huh? Without pain, we would be lifeless. Freedom is something I'm actually rather keen to, but spread? survival? Spreading out the human race is meaningless to me. There is no survival anymore. Death rates are staggeringly low in America particularly, and all other places that are particularly high is because of a dumb place to put their settlements, IE; pretty much all of africa. That's fucking insensitive as hell. If someone lost their job because their place of work closes, it's not their fault, if someone is living horribly due to a natural disaster, it's not their fault, if someone can't find work due to a chaotic war, it's not their fault, if someone can't get work because their area of residence is a resource stripped desert, it's not their fault, if someone can't find work because of their race, religion, or ethnicity, it's not their fault, if someone can't find work because of sanctions, it's not their fault, if someone can't find work due to corruption, it's not their fault, if someone can't find work because they're a refugee, it's not their fault..... You want me to keep going? True, to that none of those things are their fault. But it is somebody's fault, isn't it? Let me just address a few of these things that caught my eye: if someone can't find work due to a chaotic war, it's not their fault, Join up as a soldier. The sooner war ends, the faster people can get back to work. if someone can't get work because their area of residence is a resource stripped desert Move away. They shouldn't ever live in a desert anyway. if someone can't find work because of their race, religion, or ethnicity Again, move away. if someone can't find work due to corruption, I'm confused by this. Please go into detail. Overall, I'm not saying I'm some kind of sadistic maniac that takes pleasure in killing pointlessly. I will only kill the enemy if the enemy is at war with my beloved nation, or to defend myself. But we as a species must embrace what we truly are: Brutes. Savages.

I like this guy.

No-one here supports you on your love of a vicious, horrible, murderous experience. You, maybe, but I think we all know here that all you speak for is but yourself. I've lived my entire life without ever needing to go fight and possibly die or get maimed. Stop assuming that everyone thinks the way you do. I feel pity for you and your boring, tired life. What more is there to life than that? Sitting, counting the days, hours, minutes..SECONDS! There's no purpose to that; if everyone was like you, we would be but mindless sheep, mating, eating, sleeping, and doing it all over again. What good is there in that? Without war we would be without purpose, a true MEANING behind it all. Space exploration? Simply a new battleground to fight on. Life is but a constant struggle to survive; or rather, it was.. and your kind has been the downfall of all that is good in man. So that one can provide for their families, their children, and allow them to live a fucking real life. And what will those children do? They will do the same, miserable existance that you had. I don't know about you, but I don't want that for my son. How about humanist principles, like progress, improving the lives of others less fortunate, or helping humanity survive in general (like with space exploration)? Progress in what? Physics? Science? All it boils down to is new means of war. Lasers, swords, muskets, what have you, I think everything leads up to war at some point. Improving the lives of people less fortunate? Those people are less fortunate because of their own choices. They deserve no help because where they are now is their own damned fault! Also, on the note of helping humanity survive, what's the point then? We are but mindless drones without quarrelling; war is a beautiful thing that mustn't be tampered with, else everything goes haywire. I don't believe in humanistic principles; we do what we need to in order to survive. Unless you're sadistic, there isn't any fun in causing harm to other human beings, or witnessing it, for that matter. Sadistic is just another word for loving what is true art: War, tactics and politics.

Of all insults I have ever recieved, that has to be the dumbest. I'm not a troll. I hate america how it is currently.

It is my honest opinion that technology, such as Iphones and other miscellaneous items related to Apple or Mac is blinding our youth to the battle that we, as Americans should have been having years ago.

Yes, I am real. I believe that the US in its current state is blastphemy; we must get away from the ignorance that is technology and we must fall back on what our ancestors relied on. I think that as a people we must stand up and fight for what is rightfully ours; Our freedom! Does no one feel the same? If not, we are truly lost as a sovereign nation.

Friends, friends! There is no need to fight over a simple discussion about my love of war, and possibly yours too.. War is a fantastic thing that must never die;for without it life is dull and without meaning. Surely, there is the average desk job; but where's the fun in that? Where's the screaming, the hellfire raining upon you like it did so many more people centuries before? I believe in honor, for sure, because without honor there is nothing to live or die for; life truly is meaningless without war, dieing, living, and accomplishing your goals and making your enemies suffer for the pain they caused to your comrades.

By now, I suppose you are all here wondering why I am here, preaching infront of you all today. Quite simply, I came here to ask you all a simple question: Who here likes the state of the US right now? Since you aren't with me right now, I'll answer both sides. If you do like how things are going.. I don't see why. I suppose you're entitled to all of your opinions, but in truth your opinions are not your own; but the opinions of the swine in the office today. I propose that we rebel against our owners and fight to the death for all that is good for our country! For without that, what is there? The founders of America, as we no longer know it, fought and sacrificed their lives to bring you the comfort of true freedom. As with all countries..America is destined to fall. That is, unless we all fight as equals, musket to bayonet, bayonet to musket! If you DON'T like it, however.. Then why don't we DO something about it? The socialist dunces in the office twiddle their thumbs all day, doing nothing to solve the economical crisese. I believe that it is time that we reformed the US into a new, more pure state. As with the revolutions before; our america will be rebelled against too. But I pray for us; so that we don't end up like our enemies today. Come, my brethren! Together we march against the fascist swine! We will drive them back from the depths of hell that they so desperately claw from every single day that they are in office! Look at the history books that were left untouched by the raving scoundrels that spread their insane drivvel propaganda in attempts to keep us as sheep. Hope is not lost, my friends, for freedom still lives in my heart, and hopefully all of you and many, many others. Down with the US, up with the revolution!

Ahaha, but that's the best of it! You spend days and days in hell, until you stand up victorious! Dying for your country is the most honorable thing you could do, but it's winning the war that matters. Spending days, nights, even weeks or months fighting, surrendering, advancing, and retreating. It's all a glorious thing to behold! If you get shot, and you are in pain, and everything slowly goes to a grey, that means you fought for your country and will most likely die, but it is not a sad day; for (hopefully) you helped your troops through hell and back to reign victorious. And for that, you shall be remembered as a glorious commander. Ending your enemy's life just means they got to live the same thing, except YOU won and not them. I believe in reincarnation, so that you can always try again.

I wonder what it is? HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM. (In all honesty, though, anything Ross does is fine by me.)

A man after m' own heart! Except, y'know, he doesn't exist.. And the holocaust is something that I don't support, mostly because it was senseless killing for a bias opinion that everyone picked up because their fuhrer told them to.

Is it considered evil if I kill merely for war? None will know; all I know is that I have a creeping feeling that morality issues with the world may stagger my opportunities as a born commander to conquer the world. My aching trigger finger aside, my opinion is that if you are killing for the good of your country, (even if you are starting your own country! ) it's morally okay. Atleast, for me.

So, have you come to this thread in hopes of seeing me openly express my dire affection for war, killing, and cannon fodder? You came to the right place, my bright minded fellow. Not only that, but you can post your own love for war here as well! Have fun, you glorious bastards! Anyway.. Ah, yes. I openly admit I am a fan of the gunpowder era, where you had to be brave enough to reload in amidst the shooting, cannon balls flying, and the possibility of the useful end of a bayonet being placed into your chest cavity. The smell of blackpowder, the sound of the muskets snapping in the night.. I dream about it, and more often than not, it's glorious. Bask in its glory, I say! Muskets may be the same as modern weaponry, but honestly, nothing is like the feel of the wooden grip in hand, a pouch of cartridges placed on your shoulder, and the war cries of gentlemen from dotted areas around the countryside. Why can't wars be like this today? Damn the fellow who invented modern weaponry; damn technology, for that matter. It's no longer about war, dear me, but it's all about information. I cry longsome for the day for gunpowder will be back on the frontlines, men in line regiments, shooting line after line. Then, as the men reload, the cavalry ride up to slay any puny commonwealth silly enough to stay. My question for you blokes here on terraria forums is..does anyone feel the same way? I know, for the way that I wrote this, it seems as though I am admitting to being a psychopath or a murderer, but it is only that I have a heart for war, it seems. I hope for the day to become a general, to command regiments or entire armies if possible. Call me what you want, but the only thing that matters to me at the end of the day is whether or not I can still smell the blackpowder, hear the sound of muskets snapping in the night, etc etc. I love war. I love everything about it and it's beauty. ..Anyone want a cup of tea?

Perhaps nihilanth is keeping all the platforms up? I'm not sure.

Science.

It's not a tree... It's a tentacle!!! Oh come on, I was only making a statement! D: Also, all of the quotes in this episode should be it's own T-Shirt.

Exactly. Use the nitrogen and oxygen as fuel/air (if the mining ship is manned) and mine the rest of the stuff and take it to earth.

So it's a no? I would have thought a large amount of profit could have been reaped from such an action.

I think so, but discuss! It'd be interesting to see what your opinions are!

How do those headcrabs even mate? They have no ding dongs. Or walla wallas. Or hoo has. Or..fucking hell, you get what I'm trying to say.

Hi. So, as some of you may know, I am a HUGE 1700s - 1800s weapon enthusiast. I am not old enough to legally possess any kind of gun, so I am resorting to buying a toy of some kind. Where can I find some wood & steel toy muskets WIH moving parts that I can find for a reasonable price? Preferably one that's sturdy for play?

Actually, would it be such a outlandish theory to think that those pillars are somehow RELATED to the tentacles we see at the blast pit?
