Cummon, guys, I'm sure we have a few short tempers around here.

List some of the moments in your life when you've been extremely angry. I've had a few, I remember once when I was young and playing our NES. Unfortunately the game had very few checkpoints. Sooner or later I lost, and after that you could imagine what I did next; almost broke my hand out of a fit.

I snapped my old silver Gameboy Advance SP in half, thanks to Wario Land 3. Man, that game is frustrating.


I'd love to see things from your point of view but I can't get my head that far up my bum.

Before I got my tv fixed, whenever I turned it on the bars pushed the image into a 5cm area, so I had to hit it until it worked again, and trust me, when you hit a tv as hard as you can 15 times in a row, it really hurts, it also makes you mad...

I'm very rarely 'angry'. It's very difficult to offend or bother me, though there are seemingly small things that can have an impact.

However, if you mean mild annoyances with no real serious meaning, you should have watched my replay of Abe's Odyssey and Abe's Exodus two years ago, I did swear at the screen a few times, so to this day the friend who was watching rubs it in, because he's never seen me swear in frustration or anger, so it was shocking to him.

I've been angry a lot recently during school. There seems to be a quickly increasing amount of.. a**es in my school. People are now congregating in the hallways completely clogging up the flow of traffic making me late to class. There's an large amount of the classic scenario of people literally screaming to each other down the hall (and I just happen to be standing next to them...). It also seems that the general population of my school is becoming really freakin' rude. People acknowledging my existence but not moving if I ask them "excuse me", straight up interrupting me in class if I'm asking a question, and people that just think that they're so cool that they can do anything. Basically I've been really pissed off recently.

I used to get REALLY angry. Over nothing.

Then I realized how dumb I was being about a year and a half ago and I asked the Lord to help me stop, and he has helped me. The only time I get angry now is when my parents have me watch my brother and sisters

Trust me, it's a pain.

This is blank. But actually it isn't because I wrote that it is blank.

Anger is a construct of the human mind. The trick is to be out of your mind.

I will live forever or die trying.

I think it's more likely that you realised how dumb you were and grew up. I don't go around snapping gameboys anymore, but I certainly never asked any almighty blokes for help.

I once flipped out at a girl at work, she is one of those spoilt people who always gets what they want and are inconsiderate to others. It was quite spectacular actually.

I tend to be very calm. The only time I hurt someone was in football. I don't swear also. I do, however get mad pretty easily, but I try to just prove that I am in the right and not cause conflict.

Ok then. Try that when you get older and go to jail.

I've always had a bit of an anger management problem. I've known since I was very young, when I punched my father's dog when it crapped on my foot. I also got into fights all the time in school. I even spent a few nights in jail one time for vandalism (this one guy was pissing me off, so I got a baseball bat and smashed his car). I did a lot of stupid things in my youth.

Quote: "I once flipped out at a girl at work, she is one of those spoilt people who always gets what they want and are inconsiderate to others. It was quite spectacular actually."


I did that once too. There was this one girl with the most annoying southern accent I had ever heard. She didn't have a clue how to do her job, and I was always the one who had to pick up the slack when she fell behind schedule.

I remember this one time when we had a big project we had to get done over the weekend. As usual, I ended up having to do her work for her, and it simply wasn't physically possible for me to get it all done myself in the time allotted. When we fell behind schedule, the boss complained to her about it, and then she complained to me about it. She went on and on about how it was all my fault and how I was bringing down the whole team with my slowness (or something like that). Eventually, I just snapped and started shouting at her: "Well if you had a *profanity*-ing clue and could do your *profanity*-ing job yourself, I wouldn't have to be doing it for you and we wouldn't be falling behind schedule!"

I proceeded to lecture her on how pathetic she was and how she should either grow up and learn how to do her own job, or get the hell out of my way so someone else who does have a clue can take her place. She started crying, stormed off, and quit the next day. Unfortunately, I had to deal with the same incompetence from her replacement.

when i get really angry i tend to swear a lot, infact i've had times when i haven't even been forming sentences, i've just gathered a load of swear words together and formed some kind of... of... super-swear... yeah

i mostly get annoyed at other people in cars, or stupid pedestrians, or buses, or cyclists, or slow drivers, fast drivers, drivers who don't signal etc
i've on occation been tempted to get out of the car and pick a fight with someone, had a kid recently try and throw something at my car, was really tempted to unleash my rage

Couple of times in L4D2 I feel like breaking stuff... these are some moments:

Ok, I just went trought a frustrating hour or so,, on playing Hard Rain on expert. I am on the finale and the boat arrives. two of us are already in the boat and I am just in front of it. I hear a Tank behind me, but I am not looking back, hell no. I am just ready to step into the boat and the Tank threw a rock at me and I get incapitated just in front of the boat. This was my early memories of L4D2 and I always thought that it wouldn't matter if YOU didn't make it to the boat, but atleast SOMEBODY in your team did, and you get that to yoru achievement.... well it wasn't like that. but all is ok now, I already got the achievement. That was hard thou.

When I run away from a Tank and then a horde comes out from nowhere and I try to shoot them. I shot everyone and the Tank didn't catch me yet. Yet I didn't notice the ONE GODDAMN ZOMBIE behind me, and it starts beating my ass. I turn around melee it, but the Tank already got me, or some other zombies spawned behind me and THEN the Tank gets me.

Other than Left 4 Dead 2, I have had a freak out moment in the very last strider part in Episode 2 and God of War pissed me off sometimes, not the ending thou, it was almost the easiest part in the game... lol What else? Nah, can't think of anything more right now...

Or try that now on someone that has been in a jail...

Same . Except my dog, that would be horrible. But I yell at anybody. You don't want to call me when something like that just happened. And if I rage just before I go to bead... I dream of beating up Teletubbies, Barney and THAT TANK AND THOSE STRIDERS!!!!

He is a known troll here, as I said he was already banned three times previous. That was a troll post, plain and simple. There is absolutely no point in his post except to point out that it was silly to ask an "almighty bloke" for help. It wasn't adding to the conversation at all.

Normally I wouldn't be harsh, but this is Aaagreen's profile:

That's truly telling, and we don't put up with those types of people. And I'm perfectly fine with people questioning me. In fact I'll put a link here in the mod forum to see what the other mods think. If they disagree then I'll remove the ban

I only get angry when in very competitive situations.lol Mainly when I get so close and loose at a vital minute, I won't throw stuff around though probably just to myself mumble and clench my hands into a fist, and not do anything, it is just my way of stopping myself from completely loosing it. Besides life is too short to be angry at every little thing. But saying that I also say better to enjoy then complain.lol

I broke various things in my immediate vicinity back when a project I was coding, had a save error that whiped out over half of my code. Better yet, it left me with roughly 50 pages(if printed) of code...which was all variables, and removed almost all lines of functional code. It was also my programming class final project, due to present the day I found out my code disappeared T_T

I got 100% somehow.

If you wanted to prove theres no god, i thought the usual route was natural disaster or war. Even from my atheist view its sick and irrevelevent. No matter how you argue it, you stepped over the morale boundary that everyone has, no matter the religion.

The fact you put it Meme form just shows you were mocking it. A structured argument is at least reasonable on these forums and on the very very long off chance you might be able to justify using that picture. But you pretty much summed your self up as a troll. Or at least a sick and twisted person.

If we are created in gods image, deformaties like that just should not happen, its a flawed design, it isnt pleasant and it sure as hell isnt fair on the parents or the child. What possible reason would a god have to make or allow this to happen? by not intervening he is allowing people to suffer needlessly, and if he did do this on purpose that is the very definition of evil.

Guys, Aaagreen has informed me on Steam that this guy is one of his 'friends' and has asked him to spam these forums. For some reason. Do your best to ignore him and hopefully a mod will come along and clean this thread up.

Emphasis in the rules:

Quote: "Religious discussion is against the AUP,"


And all action is at the moderator's discretion too. GJ did nothing wrong, he wasn't even throwing his views down somebody's throat. I can turn around and say, "I don't believe in the existence of God" and it wouldn't break the rules or cause the mods to act. After all, neither is started a religious discussion, if I were suddenly challenge a religious point of view, that's when it becomes a religious discussion and therefore break the rules.

[Edit] Though I see you're banned, so you probably won't read this now. But oh well.
