When did the Hype become so lame?

[Clerk]

MC is in shock he took orders from an 8th grader (soon to be a high school senior)

Now get me some damn peanuts!

 

[BATFREDDIE]

wtf, I thought you were in your thirties.

From your voice i thought you were in your 40s.

 

[Master Chief]

Movies was the peanut guy, ask him. I think he ate them all. I think I was a 7th Grader at the time anyway. So nah, not shock.

and wtf. 40s?

Lol Im not being serious, just making fun of your stalker voice again. And also, I think everyone that posted in the first Hype Trek was at least under the age of 18. Except HWD, of course.

That's just my internets voice anyway, to talk smack to kids with tiny voices in online games and stuff. I actually have a light voice.

[Sabretooth]

For some reason everyone deepens their voice on internet. Eh,I just use my own voice and then cup my ears when I play it back.

 

[Master Chief]

I deepen my voice when I want to say something threatening. Or sound old.

Not like his.

Wow, image shattering all around today. I always expected you to be this big tough bald guy, like that guy on the cover of the Natural Born Killers DVD.

Rwanda, in numbers, doesn't even compare to the past.
Murder rates have gone DOWN in the U.S.
I just saw a show about it that splayed all of the statistics out.
Columbine...a handful of kids.
Waco.........a handful of psycho cultists burned alive by the governement.
Compare that to those burned alive in medieval times. Pshhhhh
Sudan.........Same old.

Dudette! The last case of preposterously numerically huge genocide we saw in the the past hundred years was Nazi Germany and the U.S.S.R.

There is NOTHING on that scale today.
If you think there is, please, show me the documentation.

you are using faulty logic here, W-S. do you think modern murder rates are less than those in the 1800's and early 1900's?

here are the statistics you wanted concerning just a few modern genocides:

Rwanda 1994 800,000 Deaths
Beginning on April 6, 1994, and for the next hundred days, up to 800,000 Tutsis were killed by Hutu militia using clubs and machetes, with as many as 10,000 killed each day.

Darfur
Powell cited a report released by the State Department yesterday that found a "consistent and widespread pattern of atrocities committed against non-Arab villagers." The report, based on 1,136 interviews with refugees this summer, said 61 percent had witnessed the killing of a family member and 16 percent had been raped or had heard about a rape victim. About one-third had heard racial epithets while they were being attacked, the report said.

Cambodian Killing Fields
The Cambodian genocide of 1975-1979, in which approximately 1.7 million people lost their lives (21% of the country's population), was one of the worst human tragedies of the last century. As in Nazi Germany, and more recently in East Timor, Guatemala, Yugoslavia, and Rwanda, the Khmer Rouge regime headed by Pol Pot combined extremist ideology with ethnic animosity and a diabolical disregard for human life to produce repression, misery, and murder on a massive scale.

my point is this: that human life is less precious to us than it was in the early 1900's. we see more of it on t.v. and our hearts have become calloused to violence. if the murder is not of someone we know, we don't care.
