Pound V- Discussion, Donations, and Prevention

[Laijin]

Humans are capable of everything after all, why wouldn't you do something for your own benefit right?? Regardless of the consequences... The mindset of the Self-Love people, **** that ****... I mean for example those guys that work as presidents or in multi-national corporations.. they don't give a **** about you, all they care is about themselves.

uh huh. Cause everyone is like that right?

 

[Divinokage]

uh huh. Cause everyone is like that right?

Of course not, i was just making a generalization which is mostly true to these things.. however I think the good people outnumber the bad.

 

[Zone]

nah I think Bad outnumber the good lol. I believe that just a lot of bad people disguise themselves as good people.

For example, My company has left vending machines unlocked about 17 times in the past 2 years. How many times do you think No one stole the money out of it? once. And to top it all off. 13 of those were employee(Break Room) vending machines. Meaning... only employees had access. The same employees us delivery guys talk to everyday about random things while we work their machine.

Maybe Canada people are nicer :D and Florida panhandle people are douchebags.

 

[AlphaZealot]

It seems unlikely we will ever hear the real financials of Pound. Sad.

 

[Pogogo]

"good" and "bad" are subjective

 

[idea]

it's tricky to talk about cause everyone is part good and part bad and usually not everyone is going to define where they draw the line between bad and good before discussing such things.

as for whether there are more good people or bad...give me the data for everything everyone has done and thought in the last 100 years and i'll get back to you.

 

[GimR]

"good" and "bad" are subjective

says who?

Says almost every philosopher ever? The best you can hope for are innate evils; acts that all of society can generally agree on as evil, such as murder and theft. Then you get into motive which complicates things...

That's irrelevant to the real world, and evading the issue here.

 

[Divinokage]

Perspective means nothing, only the action itself will tell the true nature of someone.

 

[Gea]

Kage's philosophy - the fist of justice

 

[idea]

Perspective means nothing

That's not how I see it

 

[CT Chia]

This is why I don't think lawsuits are a bad idea exactly.

The numbers the public has doesn't add up.

Plank refuses to give us the real financials.

No one was paid so.....

 

[J03]

So no Pound 6...?

 

[MasterShake]

So no Pound 6...?

This was his last tournament he was going to run regardless of if this fiasco happened or not.

 

[GOTM]

The numbers the public has doesn't add up.

Public is a singular group, "The numbers the public has don't add up."

</scar>

 

[clowsui]

Nah, it's more to do with "numbers"

"has" is associated with public
"doesn't" would modify "numbers" if it were singular...but "numbers" is plural, hence "don't". This works because if you take out "the public has", then the sentence becomes "The numbers doesn't add up"...whereas if you take out all the stuff that modifies "numbers" you're left with "The public has..." a fine clause provided you have something that makes sense afterwards.

Numbers is a plural group, "The numbers the public has don't add up."

Actually I meant to say public, my BAD!!! lol

 

[Dimitris]

edit: nevermind

I donated a bit. Cheers

I don't want to start a huge debate that changes the flow of the thread but I have a few questions.

Would you say that just because a society as a whole agrees on something does that make it true?

Also, if good and bad are subjective wouldn't that mean truth is subjective?

 

[Pikaville]

Why the hell are you guys talking about this?

Talk about Pound.

 

[GOTM]

How can truth ever be subjective. Something happened, or it didn't. There is no other way to take it.

Good/Bad and Truth are not related in that sense whatsoever.

 

[So Fatal]

So are assuming plank is guilty because of his absence from this thread yet still being active?

 

[Divinokage]

Talk about Pound? What's there to add really?

To me instead of Good/Bad, I would much rather see it as Self-love/loving others. That way everything makes much more sense.

 

[JPOBS]

Perspective means nothing, only the action itself will tell the true nature of someone.

im sorry but that's a ridiculously narrow mindset. I couldn't disagree more.

 

[GimR]

So instead of de-railing this thread I've decided to not respond to the side tracked conversation anymore

 

[kirbstir]

There is no spoon

 

[Divinokage]

im sorry but that's a ridiculously narrow mindset. I couldn't disagree more.

Really? Then if I'm a warrior at the moment, I'm pretty sure it's not because of all the things I've said but in reality it's because of all the things I've done in this life. Words mean nothing in this regard. If you talk **** all the time then youll be a ****talker thats all there is to it.

Edit: And of course it's a narrow mindset, that's how I work, actions speak for themselves. (Warrior) Actually it might not be necessarily true for everyone because different minds think differently. My perspective on this is what I think is right and I will DO things to acquire something I want... Nothing can be done if you just talk BS but thats only as far as perspective goes at best I think. Same thing with you are what you eat, if you eat junk and drink beer then youll most likely be fat and unhealthy. It's an action again.

So ya even if this is slightly off-topic, it's still relevant because I mean no words will fix an actual problem. Words to me only help to show possibilities.

 

[Atlus8]

Man, Chibo's estimates seem like there in there! I'm sure Plank will come in here soon with the real estimates and everyone will be aces!

 

[JPOBS]

edit: nvm its not important i guess

 

[Mew2King]

This was his last tournament he was going to run regardless of if this fiasco happened or not.

and WHY do you think he announced this was going to be his last tournament?

and didn't have payouts on the main page, or anywhere?

 

[Mahone]

edit: nvm...

 

[th0rn]

and WHY do you think he announced this was going to be his last tournament?

and didn't have payouts on the main page, or anywhere?

what are you trying to say?

 

[angel653922]

ghg

Why the hell are you guys talking about this?

 

[Pogogo]

The reason good and bad are subjective is if I ask you to justify it you need subjective statements. Simple as that.

 

[Leviathan741]

And the end of the smash community come hither......

 

[J03]

And the end of the smash community come hither......

if a few smashers got mugged then everyone who plays smash stays indoors forever, get real lol

i may run tourneys and call them Poundless from now on.

PS. in Britain that line is much funnier

 

[rhan]

^^ Haha I get the joke.

 

[GameStation aka C4?!]

So instead of de-railing this thread I've decided to not respond to the side tracked conversation anymore

Ya can't help it if people want to avoid the heart of the issue.

 

[Milos]

Preventative measure: don't let humongous nationals be run one person.

 

[Divinokage]

Preventative measure: don't let humongous nationals be run one person.

Heh that makes me remember Pound 3..

Edit: Well I'm sure the more we advance, the more things we learn and hopefully the same mistakes don't happen again. However, that doesn't stop anyone from doing the wrong things. =/
