Quote: "Oh blah. You have no idea of what the situation is for those people. You're just assuming that someone who lives in a remote location is automatically starving and doesn't like the food they do have."
No, I am not assuming that. I AM assuming that, if these people supposedly like the whoppers so much, they are giving them one, and then leaving them without the ability to get more. These burgers (from either place) can be addictive. I never said they were starving, I only said that these burgers would probably be one of the best things these people will have tasted in a long time, if not their whole lives.
Quote: "The analogy with pong/halo you used was flawed the moment you said Halo was the best game ever. Plus, the whopper and the big mac are both very similar burgers. Halo and Pong are very different games. You really can't compare the pairs like that."
A. I never said Halo was the best game ever. I said it was ONE OF the best games ever.
B. I already stated that I only used Pong VS Halo to make the point more drastic. My point (Which remains valid) is that they would most likely choose the simpler, easier one, even though most of us would consider the bigger, fancier one with better graphics the better one.
Quote: "If you're so worried about world hunger, then start a charity drive. It's not their job to make sure no one is starving, it's their job to sell you the whopper."
The difference is that Burger king is a multi-billion dollar corporate giant, and I am a college student working for slightly over minimum wage. Whenever someone asks me for change on the street, I give it to them if I have it. Sure, they may be using it for booze, but I'd rather give change to a thousand people who will use it for booze than turn away one person who really wants it for a bite to eat. I do what I can, but I can only do so much.
It may not be their job to feed the world for free, but its kind of cruel to spend all this money to give these people a couple of burgers just to promote their product, and then leave these people most likely wanting more of these burgers, and unable to get them, when they could be using half that amount of money to feed an entire village in a poor country.
Quote: "What you said at the end of your post is quite right. You are over analyzing way too much."
So sue me, I pay too much attention to these things. I can't help it, that's just how I am.
Quote: "So I just don't understand why you create a thread on a game creating forum just to argue about 'whopper virgins'."
I'll admit, I do have a bit of a "beef" with Burger king.
(Pun intended) I can't stand their food, and yet they always claim to be the best, when all evidence I've seen is totally to the contrary. Also, when I was a kid, it ticked me off that BK got all the best toys, yet had horrible food. I could never get the toy I wanted because I couldn't keep a BK burger down.
But really, I do over-analyze. I know. I usually try to turn it into something positive, such as improving my own work. But sometimes, I just end up pointing out the stupidity of something without any effect.
If the good lord had intended us to go outside or have a social life, he wouldn't have invented the internet.
