That doesn't matter, we are talking about a corp who took their name specifically from those who commited 911. Spouting statistics about how the rest of the country died that year does not change the fact that their name[boxcutter terrorists]-is deliberatly trying to be offensive.

I'm offended by people who campaign against people who try and offend.
That means by your logic you have to stop playing now. You can contract your stuff to me on the way out.

Originally by: Ambo What exactly was the corp name?
Fine......the corp is named The Boxcutter Terrorists.
You need to get outside, get some air and stop being so damn stupid. Also, when your pair drops - it does that at a certain age, and your tache starts to grow, you should come back to eve.
I read the entire thread to that post and i cannot believe i have wasted that time. How can you be so ignorant ? Maybe USA should put up a law "all ppl with a IQ under XX and which are damn right stupid should be neutered in the interest of public health".
I'm not neutral in RAGOON vs BOB, I just dislike both sides. :) |

a lot of things are "offensive" or "not offensive" depending on your viewpoint. the question is whether the name violates the EULA or not.
for: "The System may allow you to communicate information, such as by posting messages in chat rooms, on bulletin boards and other user-to-user areas (collectively, "User Content"). User Content that you cause to be communicated to the System may not (i) violate any statute, rule, regulation or law; (ii) infringe or violate the intellectual property, proprietary, privacy or publicity rights of any third party; (iii) be defamatory, indecent, obscene, child ****ographic or harmful to minors"
against: "EVEÖ has a "TEEN" rating. Parents may find it inappropriate for use by children under the age of thirteen (13). CCP has established Rules of Conduct (discussed below) for players accessing the System and may, but is not obligated to, monitor and take action regarding inappropriate conduct. Nonetheless, it is possible that at any time there may be language or other material accessible on or through the System that you may consider inappropriate for children or that may be offensive to some users of any age. You acknowledge that other players may transmit communications or content, or access to content, that you may consider inappropriate or objectionable. CCP does not, as a matter of policy, prescreen the communications or content transmitted by each player and is in no way responsible for the communications and content transmitted by players of the Game."
hmmm.

Edited by: StabThigh on 17/09/2007 18:54:01 Isn't that what we are arguing when we use the word offensive? defamatory, indecent, and/or obscene? The playerbase is obviously split, I'm interested to see what ccp has to say about it.

Edited by: Petrothian Tong on 17/09/2007 18:56:33 Meh,
People need to grow a thicker skin...
*and to the guy saying should ban people who uses ethic stereotype etc...*
I am a Chinese-Canadian, and my name can be recognized as Chinese (well, on my main)...
In the last 2 years alone, I have gotten about 3 dozen hatemail/harassment/petition from Eve players because of it...most of them 12 yr old idiots who pretend to be "macro/farmer hunter" (it appears to be any Chinese sounding name in barges or raven is automatically a farmer in their world.)
they curse, insult my heritage, and my people and my culture.
did any of them get banned? no...they don't, it is justified to put down an entire country and its people if a small population of them does something we don't approve (now replace The Chinese with Americans or the middleeast in that line of though.)
I end up blocking and living in 0.0 cause of it. and yeah, just ignore the overgeneralizing idiots...be glad your world is more complex than "those terrorists" "those Americans" "those grizzly bears"
trust me.. CCP cant ban them all. even normal people might acidently do that too, when they dont think it though before they say something.
and yeah, as for the that corp name... I thought it be more offensive.. but... yeah... keep in mind we are allowed to suicide gank (and if you are using smartbombs: Suicide Bombings.) someone in high sec....
in a game where suicide bombings are allowed, you need to keep in mind that well... the offensive names are small potatoes. =P
if you are on a crusade against insensitively or for PC...
Start with Eve as a whole...
Eve is messy, dark, and not safe...
but as GSilver said: keep the racisim in character....

It servers as a call to arms and will forever be the day the US stopped taking anymore BS. This is why calling off the war that most candidates for the next election want to do is the worst idea ever.
Stopped taking BS? How can you say that with that moron Bush still screwing/running your country? Christ, Iraq had NOTHING to do with 9/11, yet you ass hats rolled in there to make it considerably worse than what it was under ****** *******.
EDIT: the stars are hte former leader of Iraq
Interesting argument to make in favor of a totalitarian dictatorship. Any others you favor?
LMAO! If Iraq was about removing totalitarian dictatorships, why aren't they sorting out Zimbabwe... or North Korea... and so on. I at no point said I was in favour of the previous Iraqi leadership, but in this case it is the lesser of two evils.
North Koreea doesn't have a vast supply of oil but has a vast supply of nuclear weapons.

Hate to say it.... but even for a 'silly American', the petition against this is stupid. I had an acquaintance (a friend of a friend) that I like and is no longer here because of 9/11, but geeze... this petition might be going a little too far.
As for the rest of ya just remember, not all Americans are whiny little self-centered *censored*s. Far as I'm concerned it's a worldwide community. Though I DO agree most of this American-arrogance has gotta stop already :/.

Some people in the USA, the citizens of this country, actually have the gall to say that we shouldn't mourn for 9/11 anymore and that it should be left in history books where it belongs. People were mad at others for leaving flowers and tokens of mourning at a site dedicated to the twin towers on this september 11th.
Do you know how sick in the head that is?
I wouldn't have left flowers. The terrorists wanted people to recognise it, to be remembered. Leaving flowers, or building a monument, is just commemorating the event to them ---

if the usa hadn't pushed the japs into an intolerable corner over china there wouldn't have been a second front in the pacific. had there not been a pacific theatre slim's army wouldn't have been tied up in se asia which would have freed up both indian and australian troops/ships. the australians had quite a respectable navy by the end of the war which could have been added to the royal and canadian navies in the north atlantic. there is little doubt the usa would have continued to sell to the british and there is again little doubt the war would have ended with the russians and english victorious in the end. while this is no doubt terribly hard on the american ego the fact of the matter is that the germans were doomed from day one because they bit off more than they could handle (again).
the british paid damn dearly for the help they got from america and now the world is paying the price for the hasty dissolution of the british empire. isn't it just amazing how short term thinking pays off in the long run.
Telling japan is is nt ok to use 5 year olds for bayonett practice on a wide scale is SUCH an intolerable corner.

Originally by: SgtDeaux Ya america isnt the center of the universe.. well at least not until germany attacks.. then we become wildly popular with the french and english.
Germany FTW
Better ***** than Yank tbqfh. Oh and what did America do? Sell Britain a load of outdated World War One destroyers at a hugely inflated price? Lend us money to FIGHT the Germans for you with such high interest rates that it helped financially ruin the country?
Yeah you're popular
Nah we just provided most of your merchant shipping to you so that you wouldnt starve to death from the U-boats. We also provided planes, tanks, factories in safe areas to manufacture said products, ships, shipyards, food, equipment, trucks, logistics, soldiers....basically the means to fight back against the germans in areas that you previously could not.
All while fighting on a second front too. And providing aid to the russians as well (who would have had a much tougher time supplying their troops without the hoard of studabaker trucks we gave them).
What does this have to do with the topic anyhow?
If America had done that from the word go then you'd have a point, but she didn't. In my opinion America took an opportunity to remove an Empire she wasn't particularly keen via a financial route.
As for hte topic, ask the guy I quoted as he brought it up
Ah I love sterotyping and using broad vague terms. So comforting, so justifyable, makes it so easy to hate, so easy to say America deserved it. Its absolutely amazing that landmass with a title became a sentient being, I had no idea that had happened! I mean come on, the terrorists werent really attacking the poor unfortunite souls that were in the towers and pentagon but were just attacking a landmass named America. After all, America is a nosey manipulative ***** who got what she deserved.
You want to sling mud at a country, be smart enough to sling it at the policy makers, not the every day people who got caught in the cross fire.
I am sorry if I wasn't clear but at NO point did I say America deserved 9/11. As you can see from the above, we went off the off topic and were discussing the second world war. To my knowledge 9/11 is not linked to the dubya dubya two. I hope that clears up your misunderstanding!

You've been watching too many Hollywood movies
Have you ever heard of Operation Sealion? I doubt it because it was a purely British/German chapter in WW2 and as such Hollywood hasn't bothered trying to re-write those events for an American audience (yet).
Operation Sealion was Germany's plan on invading the UK. It failed thanks to the RAF. The Battle of Britain was the most important battle of the entire war, if the RAF had lost, the war was over and Germany would have plunged western Europe into a facist dictatorship (and America would have been next on their list).
Britain stood alone from 1939 to 1941 while the rest of the world (including the USA and Russia) stood by and watched. In that time Britain and its commonwealth had fought and won the two of the most decisive battles of the entire war; the Battle of Britain, and El Alamain (where the British pushed the Germans out of North Africa and thus denied them an unlimited supply of oil to fuel the German war machine).
After operation Sealion failed, Germany had no stomach to invade the UK and would have left it in isolation. Their objective turned to Russia - and THAT was the biggest mistake Germany made. So saying there would have been no England if America hadn't joined the war is a rather simplistic view on things (especially after the Russians got involved).
Unfortunately there seems to be two versions of WW2 taught in the modern world - the Hollywood version, and the real version.

Oh! Lets forget the family and friends that died so that we can claim an intellectual win against an enemy with no face!

Heh, point taken...in the perfect universe though I think everyone that spouts ignorance like that should be banned. I used to be hardcore into Halo back in the day and I was pretty decent at it. Whenever someone started spouting racist comments I made it my duty to make sure they didn't make it 3 steps off the spawn point (weather they were on my team or not), and then I reported them for ethnic slurs as soon as the game was over.
So it kind of gets to me to have some of the same group I've been defending to my fellow Americans, ("No way dude you've gotta try this game out, the people that play EVE online are very mature and intelligent and accepting of all nations") going on about how all Americans are fat and stuff their face and stupid, and rich, etc. Because I'm about opposite of all that, yes even the rich part.
Oh, and another thing, who cares who people think is the big nation on the block right now? I really couldn't care less. Everybody gets their turn, give it 10 years and it'll change, another 10 and it'll change again. -- A Solo Arbitrator vid, Distortion by Corwain |
