Farcry PS3.0 garbage: Why does Nvidia insist on lying at every opportunity?

[Dodgy]

There are whole parts of Los Angeles where you would think you were in Mexico,
I'm not saying this is necessarily a bad thing but it's a fact nevertheless.

The public secondary school educational system -- at least in Los Angeles -- is
on the verge of a total meltdown. I work w/some kids in the Long Beach Unified
School District and it's sometimes scary to see how little these kids are
getting out of the public school system. One 10th grade student asked me today
how to spell the word united. In Los Angeles county it's almost as if the kids
are learning in spite of the completely f'ed up educational system rather than
because of it. One student, also a 10th grader, told me one of her teachers
barely teaches at all and lets the class run rampant. Note I'm NOT blaming the
teachers here -- it's the f'ing system.

The problem I noticed when I was there, is the complete lack of any
news covering anything non US. You're lucky if your TV news covers
outside your own state, let alone another country. The only time you
hear of a foreign country is when an American get's blown up there.
Wipe out a few dozen Europeans and it won't get a mention.

Many Americans still have no idea that the English, Poles and Spanish
in Iraq with them (not so much the Spanish now).

Maybe if the TV channels were a little more far sighted with their
coverage, and spent less time kissing G Dubya's arse, Americans might
get a better view of the world, and maybe understand some of the
different people, religions... The might even get along.

Same can be said for those mad Muslim countries, they too have highly
introverted media and just look at the zenophobic hate they harbour.

Oh, and Israel isn't any better.

Right, that's everyone insulted.

Next!

D0d6y.

80%? Go **** yourself. You've never even been to the USA. You can keep your
poverty ridden, pick pocketing, filthy language speaking, shitty car
driving, high gas price having, harry armpit having women Europe to
yourself. If the USA is SOooOOOo bad, how come we have THE MOST POWERFUL
ECONOMY ON EARTH? Again, go **** yourself. USA is #1, sorry you weren't
lucky enough to be born here. It's hilarious, even in the recessions and
shit job market times, we are still richer than the rest of the shit world.
A lot of Americans don't know about Europe geography BECAUSE WE DON'T GIVE A
****.

You became rich from slavery, supplying arms to the rest of the world,
and due to the number of people you have living there.

The "Don't give a ****" attitude is why you attract planes into tall
buildings.

If you actually tried to understand a few of the little
people/countries/religions instead of ignoring them you might actually
get along.

Minotaur left a note on my windscreen which said:




Got any stats to back that up? Didn't think so. Your ignorance is
causing you to grossly stereotype people you don't know.

Statistics, I am sure your intelligent enough to find them on the WWW.

Sorry I didn't get to meet the other 240,000,000+ million people while I
was in the USA. But from viewing the actions of those Americans first
hand, from NYC, Boston, Ithica, Washington DC, Orlando, Atlanta, New
Orleans, Denver, Las Vegas and LA. It was obvious to myself and others
traveling, your country is not as great as you perceive it to be.

That point came to light in a stunning way, just crossing the border
into Canada. News wasn't full of murders and tradgedy, people didn't
lock all of there front doors. Infact there are just as many gun nuts in
Canada as in the USA, but less violent gun crimes?! Any reason why your
so called great country is so ****ed up? You seem to love statistics, go
and find some and learn about the country you live! You might be shocked
to learn of your ignorance, in discovering the facts.

Your ignorance is causing you to grossly sterotype people you don't
know. But hey, thats the American way! as you stated above.

Your particulr statistic sounded like you made it up in order to back up
a line of reasoning. Your lack of anything which proves otherwise does
nothing to dissuade me from assuming anything otherwise.

I don't belive you are able to back up your 'fact' because I belive it
to be made up - nothing I found on the net backed it up either but,
granted, I didn't look for very long. I'm sure you understand that the
onus of proof lies with whoever is trying to prove the positive
assertion so the ball lies in your court on that count. I look forward
to reading your source.

Sorry I didn't get to meet the other 240,000,000+ million people while I
was in the USA. But from viewing the actions of those Americans first
hand, from NYC, Boston, Ithica, Washington DC, Orlando, Atlanta, New
Orleans, Denver, Las Vegas and LA. It was obvious to myself and others
traveling, your country is not as great as you perceive it to be.

So you make wild sweeping statements after experiencing a fraction of
the population. You don't work in marketing do you?

Here is a quote from yourself only a few posts earlier;

"I ain't in Europe, that shows how intelligent you are."

And since I am in the UK, not America, I guess that shows how
intelligent you are by your own admission.

Your ignorance is causing you to grossly sterotype people you don't
know. But hey, thats the American way! as you stated above.

With your assumtion that I am in America, I don't think I or the rest of
the group needs much more indication of who is being ignorant or
stereotypical.

I still await your suppliment of a source to back up your statistics but
I feel you probably won't be forthcoming after such a hypocritical and
ignorant display.

Canada - Now there's a county to emulate. Emulate means "try to be like,
copy, imitate" in case you didn't know.

Really? It's out? Where can I get one?

You're the kind of guy who has that white Casper the Friendly Ghost

ruined the market with integrated genes.

In other words, the famous PS2 vs PS3 farcry screenshots, intended to show
how superior the 6800 was to anything from ATI, are a pile of crap. They
turned down every single detail slider to the lowest setting to make one
screenshot, then put it side-by-side with a screenshot in which every slider
was turned up to ultra-high detail.

The only PR I can think of that's more low-down than this is Bushco's
slandering of Kerry's war record. Nvidia should be ashamed of themselves.

rms

The longer that Ati delays the public announcement of the X800 series,
the smokier this room will become. And if it is delayed until or
beyond the first retail shipments of the 6800 cards, you won't be able
to see your hand in front of your face.

90% of Mercans don't even own a passport!

And most of them speak like you, gutter mouth..

I have traveled many places, and lived in Germany for a year twice. I have
found that you can find ignorance anywhere, and anyone who stereotypes any
group of people is showing their own ignorance. But as to your statistical
question I have found some numbers for you
if you would like to correct your own ignorance. Keep in mind that passports
are good for 10 years and not everyone renews them on-time. Also if your to
lazy or just don't know how "Americans" is spelled, here you go.

I can flame you a bit if you like. Altough I don't exactly like usa, i think
what you just said, goes for more than just usa. Many countries incl. some
muslim countries, israel and so on..
Or maybe human beings in general!

HI there "ec"

It's hilarious, even in the recessions and shit job market times, we are

still richer than the rest of the shit world.

That's coz you're stealing the wealth off of most of the world.

A lot of Americans don't know about Europe geography BECAUSE WE DON'T GIVE

A ****.

You're right, to busy having a wank to give a ****.

There is no more effective way for a forum to accumulate off-topic posts than by means of a halfwit lacking
the self-control needed to keep his party politics to himself. But, so long as these posts remain confined to
one or two threads, I'm not really bothered by it. The worst thing about the 'rms' types is that they succeed
in drawing out the ugly side of even some of the forum regulars, a side one never knew they had. It isn't
pretty.

[lyon_wonder]

Dumb as well, considering they were basically saying their previous line of cards really suck comparing to the powerful 6800 line of cards.

Well, most of their FX cards (anything below the 5900 series anyway)
actually DO SUCK.

Most of these links focus on the National Geographic Survey.

Ignoring the fact that they used a different number of Americans than
they did for the rest of the survey most of their highlights also ignore
the fact that other countries scored lower than Americans in several of
their highlights.

None of the countries surveyed did particuarly well anyway. None of
them got an 'A' rating - whatever the criteria for that is.

As interesting as Moore's documentaries can be he has a tendacy to make
his facts and then film something to make them fit.
