/vr/ - Retro Games

I remember when society at large hated bible-thumping conservatives. Man, better times.

>>10005659
I mean they mostly still do. I think it's just a small number of internet weirdoes that are sympathetic to them.

>>10005656
Honestly, yeah, I do sympathize more with it now and I don't even have kids of my own. Not that I think games should be outright censored or banned, and not that I abhor all violence in games, but there is a level of gore and violence glorification that makes me more uncomfortable now than when I was a kid. I can't actually stand playing the new Mortal Kombat games with all the graphic x-ray moves and excessive blood and gore, it just makes me cringe in discomfort/disgust, so I can better understand now how my parents and others felt seeing the original Mortal Kombat games and why they would forbid us from playing them as silly as they look today (and as silly as I felt they were at the time, really).

>>10005656
GAMES ARE BAD
THEY MAKE YOU MAD

I think my parents were right and they should have tried harder to get me off the video games.
stuff like MK has always just been gross to me

I think the amount of lives that video games have ruined is absolutely unreal relative to other media.

>>10005656
> As you get older, do you find yourself sympathizing with the moral guardians of the past?
no. they’re proven liars

>>10005659
Sure, back on the 80s and 90s they were a powerful bunch. Today they've been completely outnumbered by woke Marxists.

>>10005656
1950:
>son, you're 13 years old now. i'm giving you this rifle, take good care of it and bring it to school.
2023:
>son, if you discriminate against homosexuals at this dinner table, there will be no tiktoking in this household for a week.

>>10005687
>outnumbered
Not in dollars or assets.
>>10005703
This guy hasn't heard "you'll shoot your eye out", ever

>>10005656
Nintendo really sold out the game industry at the time. Just fuck everyone else, we're taking everyones toys and going home attitude all because they were losing in America.

>>10005714
>muh christmas story
and guess what faggot? they still bought him the gun.

>>10005656
I can appreciate their concerns, at the same time I believe parents should be attentive to their children and their interests rather than having government regulation do your job
>>10005659
Too many relevant quotes so I'm choosing this interview excerpt and promptly leaving the thread

>Shouldn't you have concerns about the media ecosystem that your kids partake in?
OF FUCKING COURSE you retarded neanderthal.
Kids are impressionable little bastards and are bound to see and do dumb things without proper advisement to say otherwise. Stop projecting your Tipper Gore power tripping insecurities to ban fun and fuck OFF.

>>10005659
Joseph Lieberman, Tipper Gore, and Hillary Clinton are most certainly NOT bible-thumping conservatives though.
It wasn't just right-leaning moralfags. It was moralfags all around, just like today. Busybody retards are exactly what government, media, law, and corporations all have in common.
Thankfully they didn't win back then. Nowadays though, you look at game devs censoring cleavage and whatnot and think
>man we really are still in the same puddle of shitty mud
Eyeballs deep in muddy waters.

>>10005734
Hollywood didn't invent an old wive's phrase, kek

>>10005742
and an old wive's phrase had no bearing on reality. you think people didn't buy guns for kids in the 50s? you're an idiot. you have no idea what we've lost.

>>10005741
>Joseph Lieberman, Tipper Gore, and Hillary Clinton are most certainly NOT bible-thumping conservatives though.
Everyone always seems to selectively forget this. The media of the time did a great job of deflecting 100% of the blame onto conservatives when liberals were getting into it just as bad or worse.

>>10005741
>Thankfully they didn't win back then
Yes they did, and it backfired

>>10005746
Not retro. You fuck off instead.

I can understand it now that I have kids and see how impressionable they are. However, I was playing MK, Doom, Quake, Duke 3d etc when I was in elementary and middle school and didn't turn into a psycho. I do think think excessive violence is offputting to most anyways, so its sort of a non issue. I remember as a kid being freaked out over something as tame (by modern standards) as the DOS Prince of Persia deaths.

I think social media is orders of magnitude more destructive and dangerous than any violent game

>>10005746
It's an old wives phrase BECAUSE it had a bearing on reality.
>you think people didn't buy guns for kids in the 50s?
You think unskilled child marksmen can't shoot eyes out? Enjoy your survivorship bias larping

I think it is a totally reasonable thing to be concerned about, one of many things. I honestly have no idea how you're expected to raise a mentally healthy kid anymore unless you go full Luddite and keep them away from phones and social media.

>>10005749
lol ur mad

>>10005756
That wasn't me, he just think you're an idiot (he's right)

>>10005752
>abloo bloo more gay shit trying to disprove that the world was a healthier place when even children owned weapons
should i skip right to the proof or do you want to keep posting retarded non-arguments for a bit?

>>10005656
>have kids and I feel like you really have to have an eye on the stuff your kids consume,

Thats all there is to it, so whats the argument? You want censorship shit? Parents then and now should tell little bobby he isnt allowed to play certain games or watch certain movies if you dont approve of the content. Taking that shit to the government level was dumb as fuck.

>>10005656
do you think that mk made you a homicidal martial artist? did doom make you shoot a bunch of kids? the fact that gay zoomer culture worships trannies and gay anime, I think the return of 90s and 80s sensibilities would be good.

>>10005762
Failure to refute is tacit concession, bye

>S-SS-SEGA IS EXPOSING YOUR KIDS TO THIS DANGEROUS FILTH!!!! BAN THEM NOW
what a cuckhold lmao ruined nintendo for me for life

>>10005748
Technically they won. In practice the record and game industry outsmarted their stupid lawfaggot asses.
Anyone else love it when lawyers get BTFO btw?

>>10005747
I remember when MK was released on consoles and kids would have arguments between the SNES v. Genesis verson
>gennisissis has the blood your stupid nintendo doesn't
And we'd come back
>can't play Street Fighter good on genisssisus!
If there was any violence back then, it was in petty console warring and not from the actual violence of the games, which was always laughable.
My older brother brought MK2 how while visiting on military leave, and we sat there trying to do different fatalities, and my boomer parents laughing their asses off at the sheer amount of blood and boned and sets of ribs on screen after a successful kill.
Nobody gave an actual fuck outside of very extreme communities and the government/media dogs.

MK violence has always been like extreme Looney Tunes slapstick with added extreme amounts of ketchup.

>>10005771
I wasn't disputing your fun fact, if you bothered understanding what you're responding to you'd know that. You failed to engage the point. Feel free to have the last word, it'll help you feel better.

every study done comes to the same conclusion: video games have no impact on behavior. television has a strong affect but boomers don't care about that because they are addicted to TV.

the difference is watching a role model show you how to behave (TV) vs being a participant in a pretend world. kids will fight each other after watching Power Rangers on TV because they want to be like their heroes, but they won't after playing Mortal Kombat because playing the game was the actual performance.

>>10005789
thanks for playing

I was reading some old magazines a few months ago and one of them had an article about Jack Thompson with a bunch of penny arcade comics about him and they were extremely cringe and made me realize the guy did nothing wrong.

>>10005656
they werent wrong
but the problem isnt with media or videogames, the blame lies on bad parenting
they blamed Marilyn Manson
they blamed it on heroin
they blamed it vidya
where were the parents

>>10005804
They just seem a little weird

>>10005804
>where were the parents
Working, partying with "associates", having affairs, fighting/divorcing, you know.
Just non-parent things.™

>>10005656
>As you get older, do you find yourself sympathizing with the moral guardians of the past?
No
>>10005659
I still do, christcucks aren't welcome here

>>10005659
I'd rather take them over trannies, commies and their enablers who want to censor everything

>>10005678
No. As other anon said, they are liars.

As a parent I curate what my kids can watch but back then you had dumb shit like lieberman claiming tomb raider had a rape button

>>10005836
I thought lefty degeneration was due to their unwillingness to self censor their disgusting beliefs from my god-fearing eyeballs which I refuse to pluck.

>>10005854
They censor all that goes against their hedonistic degenerate ways.

They will tell you how great it is to get posed loaded by five different guys but will censor you for saying that's harmful and unhealthy

>a board full of social degenerates and malcontents on a anime image board claims that videogames don't make them social degenerates and malcontents like politician's claim
I don't think /v is exactly the most impartial place around to discuss this topic. It's like asking the inmates at Arkham if Batman is a positive force in their life.

>>10005870
It's like weed. The shit can enable it but it itself is now the problem. The user is.

>>10005854
Are you even living on the same planet as everyone else? Censorship even at its worst in human history has never been slightly close to what it is now.

>>10005862
The fact you ignored the blatant hypocrisy in my comment would indicate you too have unplucked eyes. Consider doing something about that

>>10005880
The "Christian" boogeyman has no power. Look at all the churches that got shut down during covid. Can't say a prayer in class but you can groom kindergarten into thinking their are trans

>>10005814
>>10005821
its a valid point
but still tard logic

you ban things you dont like?
guns? movies? porn? books?
why stop there? suddenly everything is banned and the root issue is never fixed

violent crimes actually go UP when guns are banned
police are killed MORE OFTEN in areas that have recent gun bans

ppl be killin and shieeet with rocks, BAN ROCKS YO
moronic behavior

>>10005880
“Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.”
― C. S. Lewis

>>10005883
Churches still don't pay taxes. That's pretty fucking powerful.

>>10005891
And Hollywood does Hollywood accounting to lessen their taxes. Planned parenthood receives federal money and give back to leftist causes.

Aunt Nana proceeds from a bake sale is nothing compared to the entire left wing apparatus via non profit activists groups

>>10005872
>Ted lived a sad unfulfilling life, so his assertion that everyone does is true
Lol, lmao. Apparently in his technophobia he negated human autonomy as well
>Internet exists
Somehow I think someone that undermines the value of technology would undermine information proliferation happening online 24/7. With open internet, censorship ceases to exist.

>>10005885
>violent crimes actually go UP when guns are banned
Bullshit.

It's also a silly comparison anyway because banning an object like a gun isn't equivalent to what the moral guardians are trying to ban, which is ideas. Even something like Prohibition, as stupid as it was, isn't the same thing as moral guardianship. You could at least make an argument for not wanting people to have access to a vice. But wanting to ban Mortal Kombat was about not wanting people to see something that is entirely fictional.

>>10005913
Actually that's a pretty good representation of where black people live.

In retrospect it was evil and needed to be abolished. It corrupts the mind and soul of even adults. Since we didn't ban this before look at far has MK 11 gotten. It's sickening.

>>10005919
Looking at the red I think it's safe to say that violent crime is way more related to economics than anything else. Missisisspi and Alabama are the most broke ass states in the union.

>>10005883
You can still go to church and it wasn't only churches that were affected, bad argument
>Can't groom kids into thinking they're going to hell for not liking vegetables but you can groom kindergarten kids into understanding some families have two mommies
Matthew 6:5
If someone wants to hear The Word they don't need you or anyone else to do it. Have faith.

>>10005925
Also, black people.

>>10005913
This is an interesting graphic because it shows that gun violence and gun control are not actually correlated with each other.

>>10005927
Mississippi is like 60% white. Go back to /pol/.

>>10005656
>were the parental reactions THAT unreasonable?
No because i can differentiate fiction and not fall for the slippery slope fallacy.
> Shouldn't you have concerns about the media ecosystem that your kids partake in?
No because kids will eventually see gore and sex in their lifetime sooner or later. Better to start them young and understand reality at 11 or 12 than to have them sheltered and unprepared for it at 18.

>>10005887
I don't think you intended to describe theocratic fascism but there it is

>>10005926
They arrested priests at the height of covid for having their church open since it was the only community alot of people had. Church is more then sermons

But you're allowed to riot for blm and flyod. Nigga get out of here with your revisionist history bs

>>10005937
Finally someone said it. Watching faces of death made me respect my food.

>>10005935
Look at a overlay of black people density and crime density. You will be astonished to see it all correlated in the urban areas with high black people percentage. It's not evenly spread over the whole state, you tard

>>10005913
>cherrypicked data
when will the dems stop this? never?
its tar and feathers time again soon

ONE WORD = chicago

>>10005930
It's pretty correlated. There are no red or orange states with fewer than three stars. One and two starred states are way lower in crime with California being the exclusive outlier and that's probably because it's so highly populated it can qualify as it's own country and also uniquely mismanaged. The states that are most gun friendly and also low gun crime are literal bumblefuck places like Wyoming which has like 12 people or Vermont which is nothing but rich old people.

>>10005804
>>10005821
Basically it's people who would like a scapegoat for their own failure as parents in society. Dad's pretending to work hard by not seeing their wives and children or by trying to have a relationship with their child, women being the career mom than to try and make sure children understand to not do the things that are on fictional media etc.

>>10005949
>Stop cherry picking!
>ONE WORD = chicago
You could at least TRY to not be a retard.

>>10005945
True and i also watched Cowboy Bebop at 11 and 12. It was surprising at first seeing death and blood. But i got use to it and understood how scary it was. Liveleak at age 17 made me realize how important life is and how easy i have it compared to moralists that cry about the outside world while indulging in their own vices.

>They arrested priests at the height of covid
Unfortunately
>for having their church open
Uh-huh...
>since it was the only community alot of people had.
That's not why they were arrested. I get what you were actually trying to say though, that these preachers intentionally broke the law to provide a community for those people. Sounds like vanity to me, shame folks can't just appreciate their faith over the radio like they were so blessed to appreciate back in the day.

>>10005963
It's video games because it was about the moral panic of the 90's of video games and the things we discuss relate to it. The only exception is those who are using it as a vehicle to talk about mah crime and other politicians.

>>10005948
You could do the same with poverty. You're deliberately confusing correlation with causation. Rich black people don't shoot each other but poor white people do.

>>10005959
>>10005954
part of growing up is realizing that you are wrong
sometimes its something small
sometimes its your entire worldview
are you coming to your conclusions on your own?
objectively ask yourself,
am i conditioned to respond a certain way?
conservatives have the moral high ground but it quickly evaporates once the glaring hypocrisy of banning things you dont like becomes litigation;
what are you "conserving" exactly?
cause it sure as hell aint liberty lol


children are impressionable
and do not understand fiction from reality
showing a child porn, gore, hardcore violence can have severe consequences


the problem is faggots think the gov can do something about it, or worse yet that its the GOVS job to dictate what shitty parents do/dont do or say


they simply do NOT have that authority
"respiratory virus crisis" or not

>>10005973
I agree it can have severe consequences, if the parent isn't being attentive. Isn't that what you're complaining about? What the fuck does PG mean?

>>10005964
you are beyond brainwashed
i feel sad for you

you are the type that thinks churches should be taxed

TAXATION IS THEFT

>>10005973
>are you coming to your conclusions on your own?
The irony is that the people who ask a question like this are the people most delusionally sheep like. Go listen to Alex Jones rant about gay frogs.

>cause it sure as hell aint liberty

holy fucking based

>>10005656
I think most kids play stuff like Minecraft and Fortnite these days, even GTA doesn't seem so popular anymore. So if anything this controversy only boosted the games' popularity and publicity, but among younger audiences specifically I don't think they were ever as popular as other games for kids like Mario, Sonic, or Pokemon.

>>10005984
he was right about that though

So if your house catches fire you'd prefer the fire department hand you a bill before putting it out? You should plow your own way to work and pave your own highways?

IL, MD, DE

See above: IL, MD, and DE are red or orange and all have 1 or 2 stars.
You also conveniently ignore the giant block of cyan states throughout the midwest and northwest that are mostly 4+ stars, plus the three dark-cyan 5-star states in the northeast. As I see it, there are just as many low-crime/high-star states as high-crime/low-star states and vice versa. The correlation isn't in the level of gun control.

Okay, done.
Matthew 22:36-40
36 “Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?”

37 Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ 38 This is the first and greatest commandment. 39 And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ 40 All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.”

>You also conveniently ignore the giant block of cyan states throughout the midwest and northwest that are mostly 4+ stars
Nobody is ignoring those states. It's just hard to have high crime when there's barely any people to do crime to. Wyoming has half a million people in the entire state. Why are you conveniently ignoring THAT?

>>10006052
Love your neighbor as yourself almost specifically puts your local community above the law of the land by its inherent nature. If the law demands turning someone over for punishment due to some victimless crime it would not be showing love to your neighbor to follow that law and turn them in.

>>10006060
You must be starving, hypocritical neophyte

>>10006064
The only hypocrite here is you
Where do you think your morality comes from?
If people are just a product of their environment whats stopping the slippery slope?
you simply cannot have justice without the word of GOD

>>10006054
Because you ignore that the statistics are normalized by population and people aren't evenly spread through the whole state in the first place. You're grasping at straws to excuse any outlier that refutes your personal view.

>>10006065
It's irrelevant who's running the cities. Any Democrat or Republican connected enough to be elected mayor of a major city like LA or Chicago is going to be part of the corporate monoparty. Their economic policies are the same which is why the crime rate doesn't change much even when party does. The current crime rate is going up because people are fucking broke but it's still waaaaay lower than it was during the 70s and 80s when New York was pretty much Gotham City. Again, because despite everyone's nostalgia the 80s was an economic hellscape.

>>10006062
You don't get to determine if a crime is victimless. How many assholes have you seen shoplifting and saying "oh it doesn't matter"? Everything affects everyone in some way, that's why loving your neighbor means more than fucking the chick next door, excuse me, "literally loving your literal neighbor"

>>10006075
You sound like the kind of person who would have returned slaves to their masters 200 years ago. Is that treating people as you'd like to be treated, or showing love to your fellow man? It certainly would have been following the law if you were living in the south. You're bending over backward to dishonestly twist the words of a religious leader you don't even follow.

>>10006071
>Small communities surrounded by endless grass is the same as a major metropolis.
Maybe you should stop. There are about five Wyomings worth of people in Brooklyn alone. That you're even trying to make this argument is asinine. There's that many people probably just sitting in traffic right now in LA but you're trying to suggest that what amounts to a tiny ass town in the middle of nowhere should score brownie points for not shooting each other. They probably have one fucking postman there and everyone knows his name.

>As you get older, do you find yourself sympathizing with the moral guardians of the past?
No.

>>10006093
The only argument I've made is that gun violence is not correlated to gun control. The fact that you're pushing so hard on the population density angle is starting to suggest you agree with me that there are more important factors to gun violence than gun control laws.

>>10006096
It's obviously not the sole or even main issue but it's clearly correlated to some extent. If you're a betting man who's just playing statistics and trying to not get shot then you can either pick a high density area with strong gun control or a low density area where gun control is essentially irrelevant. And then stay away from the outliers like Chicago.

>>10006101
Another way to put it, the higher the population density, the stronger effect gun control will have on gun violence taking the entire country's stats into account. Again, outliers exist but they're the exception that proves the rule.

Because you're literally arguing that Jesus' words mean we should blindly follow all the laws of man without question in order to be good Christians. So thank you for agreeing that you were wrong about that.

>>10006123
That's not what loving others like loving yourself means. Thanks for demonstrating your comprehensive inability, that'll be all.

It wasn't necessary. Radio service was enough for people that didn't have a local church, and it's enough for people that can't go to a local church in the interest of not spreading disease. The narrative of weeding out the weak is abhorrent when you consider these are Christian lives that were snuffed out of other people's self interest.

No, you said "breaking the law is very un-Christian" in reference to United States federal law (specifically, IRS regulations). That's what I challenged, because there's nothing un-Christian about breaking unjust laws, and that passage from Matthew did not prove otherwise.
>It wasn't necessary. Radio service was enough for people that didn't have a local church, and it's enough for people that can't go to a local church in the interest of not spreading disease.

yours lacks the text and i still know it

Genuinely cannot fathom the sort of person that gets pressed over game companies "censoring" sexualized nudity and skimpy outfits and whatever. Like, if you want to see scantily clad cartoon women there's millions of terabytes of hentai and porn out there on the internet for you. Not sure what sort of bizarre mindset makes people think they NEED to see tits in video games and anything else is le evil censorship. Who the fuck starts up a AAA game to jack off? And Skyrim modding already exists for that anyways

>>10006251
>Why won't you acknowledge my reinterpretation of your point?
Pikuach nefesh. The only laws to be broken are in the interest of saving lives, meaning they must be in danger first. Nobody was going to die from attending church on a stream or radio broadcast, and ignoring public safety ordinance because you want to have a community is stumbling. If you want people to stop killing themselves out of misery then we should stop mistreating people for breaking laws that save their life.

I mean I turned out fine so maybe I shouldn't be concerned with this shit.

there's definitely some dubious things about the 1993 Video game hearings. partially, it was Nintendo who were mad that Sega was selling more copies of games like Mortal Kombat, because it had a blood code. It many ways it was their attempt to circumvent Sega genesis sales in the NA market. But also, it had something too do with Sega selling games uncensored in store chains like Toys R Us. While Nintendo had their own strict censorship guidelines that every licensed game had to pass. But Sega did try to create their own video game ratings council and rating system. You can see it on some of the Genesis, Sega CD, 32x and GameGear era games. They wanted the Videogame Rating Council to be the universal standard in NA for ratings. But Nintendo were unwilling to use it. In the end, it ended up with the ERSB. Which Nintendo did adopt. Mortal Kombat 2 on the SNES had the blood left intact because Nintendo were allowing third parties to follow the ERSB guidelines. Night Trap really was just a ringer. The game was PG at best, it was filmed in the late 80's for a VCR console. But was used as an example of 'realistic' graphics and how it could be used for sexual content.

Yes, but not for video game violence. They were right about sexualization though. The increase in social acceptance of overt sexualization and promiscuity has been disastrous for society.

And since I'm sure some poor seething yurocunt is gonna ask
>w-w-hy americans glorify muh violence so much but hate showing titties to children

Because "violence", when portrayed properly, is for the purpose of showing heroism, sacrifice, and good triumphing over evil. It is something to aspire to, like any young child playing cowboys and indians or cops and robbers. It does not promote undue use of force and random chaotic violence in society; we know that all sane people perfectly understand the difference between fantasy storytime violence and acting out in the real world. However I DO strongly object to cynical postmodern "dark" media that indulgently glorifies violence for violence's sake and twists morality out of cynicism and a desire to portray "suffering porn".

Conversely, openly broadcasting highly sexual content displays the exact wrong image of how good young people should approach romance and relationships, it demeans and objectifies the experience and rejects the gravity of deep emotional commitments and what it means to love someone, in favor of pure pleasure-seeking hedonism, which is absolutely something people will try to emulate and damage themselves in the process.

here's a pretty cool little documentary that was made by Digital Pictures in 1995 about the 1993 hearings. It does have a lot of behind the scenes filming footage of Night Trap.

the true nature of the human experience lies forever beyond your reach as metaphysical philosophy was concluded 400 years ago with "Cogito ergo sum"

huh???
did you even read what i typed?

see >jesus preached mindfulness
and that veering off the path will quickly ruin your life

im not defending coomers in the least
im explaining the passage so it can be understood


jesus said to pluck out the eye
but not LITERALLY or ALL of us would have no fucking eyes

we have to be adamant about our behaviors on earth or they will consume us
only God will get us through
we cant do it alone

>>10006376
What you typed is a wall of non sequitur nonsense that did not address any of the points I made in my initial post whatsoever. You went off on a bible verse and compared it to biblical literalism about looking Marilyn Monroe's tits, and completely ignored my arguments about the societal impact of promotion promiscuity and objectification of sex in modern media.

>gut public education, to kill critical thinking.
>the educational system does not procure individuals who think for themselves
We said the same thing, only we blamed different groups. Republicans have been cost cutting education for a long time now, what do you have to show for the Rockefellers doing that beyond hearsay? And I'm not talking about introducing topics you personally disagree with, I mean how are the Rockefellers preventing schools from procuring competent teachers and providing them with robust resources like Republicans have done though cost-cutting?
>conservatives want freedom of choice
Yeah for themselves and nobody else LOL

>Yeah for themselves and nobody else LOL
This is such a meaningless midwit nonsense statement.

plants respond to music
this is scientifically documented via numerous respected sources


the metaphysical nature of our reality is very real - whether or not you decide to ignore it is up to you

>>10006383
>plants react to sound therefore the human soul exists
woah you just solved millennia of philosophy and religion

>>10006381
you are still championing identity politics
what will you do when your "team" loses
or in my case literally abandons all common sense and morality
i will never support a democrat again. period.

they cost-cut education because the system is LITERALLY CORRUPT AS FUCK
i spent 7 years of my life as a substitute teacher in southern california
i wish some of the things i saw weren't true
the coordinators, boardmembers, etc
they cut costs while taking tax payer money driving new Mercedes every year

i dont particularly like trump but what he said about "waste, fraud, abuse" is 100%
especially when it comes to the educational system

>>10006358
Then why did it happen for over thirty years? You can't just deny yourself out of the fact public schooling is underfunded as a result of Republican cost cutting.

>>10006385
many cultures ALL around the planet are cognizant of the spiritual nature of our reality anon

the temples in india, the stained glass cathedrals, the all share the same repeating geometric patterns

the same ones you would see yourself if you took a heroic dose of psilocybin mushrooms

While I'm not the ranting stream-of-consciousness lunatic you're replying to, I do object to reductivist materialism. It is simply arrogance to assume that because our childlike sciences and mathematics have "proven" certain rational objective-like facts of the universe, from our perspective, that we are somehow qualified to dismiss the profundity of our own consciousness, or the miracle that existence exists at all, based on an a dogmatic principle that everything must be the result of pure physical processes without meaning.

Logically, rationally, emotionally, psychologically, sociologically, I have a "soul" for everything that word is worth. It doesn't matter if a peer reviewed paper from MIT says I don't. That's not how we humans act or see the world.

they are ALL corrupt
throwing more money at it doesnt fix the problem anon
you could have unlimited budget and still have underperforming schools in low-income communities

it is intentional

What an amazing take.

announcing sage will result in a permaban
the irony is you will be the only one issued the ban warning here

we are all mostly civil and staying mostly on topic
OP asked a very specific question relating to the 90s era of vidya
it is a complicated multi-faced issue and likely will not be concluded even when the bump limit is reached


there are many ideas to be shared

didn't this shit also happen in the 00s?

you cannot TAX yourself into the promised land
you cannot censor\limit speech or artistic expression

however, that doesn't mean morality is out the window
you do not show hyper-sexualized images\themes to young children
you do not show grotesque violence\gore to developing minds aka children under the age of 12
