... OK. I don't know HOW exactly I can refrain from turning this into a flame war, but...
(Before I begin, I do not intend this to be a flame post. I intend this as a defense of my side of this argument, and as a forewarning to others about my arguing "abilities". Well, I think they're ok, anyway.)
1. Ok, so I apologize for calling your friend an idiot. Bear with me here; I had said that about 30 people don't deserve to live. 30. At least 10 on this board (No, not 10 that GO to this board, but regarding 10 people I've seen.) I make impulse comments, likely due to some mental disorder.
2. QUOTE - "I don't give a s#!t about how things are spelled!"
Obviously.
freind = friend
rumar = ... you know.
plaese (Yes, I'm pretty sure this was a typo, but.... this is an argument, and I must make a comment (And a pretty low one, I may add) about everything that was said in argument to me. I cannot be told off and made to look like an idiot. I'm not putting up with this crap.) = please
absillutely = absolutely
wheres = where's
3. If you seriously believe that Nintendo would EVER sell their major mascot character to a rival company, I hate to say it, but you are quite gullible. I think your friend has a hidden motive. (I.E., to get you to buy an XBox.)
4. It appears you seem to be following flawed logic here:
"I can't just take your word."
Right, and your friend's word carries just as much weight. In other words, he isn't much more reliable than I am. Sure, you may have known him for a LOT longer than me, and hell, you would probably HATE me if you knew me in the real world, you can't disregard one's person's comments and vigilantly accept someone else's.
5. Gaming magazines??? They tell rumors all the time! A lot aren't true. Let me quote from Nintendo Power magazine. (Well, not quote, but outline the main point of the argument)
Q. Do you think Sonic will ever be on a Nintendo console?
A. Never.
3 years later, Sega goes 3rd party. Need I say more about the veracity of magazines?
6. Yes, I am a big Mario fan. But, I did say MAIN mascot, not "only". I know about other mascots Nintendo uses. But they would never get rid of the character that pretty much made video gaming as popular as it is today.
Well, that was long-winded, and IT WAS NOT INTENDED TO BE A FLAME POST! I don't think I said anything offensive to you in this post, and if I did, I apologize in advance. What did I try to accomplish here?
1. To show that although it is a VERY remote possibilty, Nintendo is more than likely NOT selling Mario to Microsoft.
2. To show everyone that any comments made to me WILL be addressed. I vigorously stand up for what I believe in, and will defend my views with an iron fist.
3. To try to dissuade others from trying to argue with me. (Sorry, but I HAVE to be good at something. I have abilities in arguing. I hear Chupperson is pretty good too. I'd like to have an argument someday.)
PS: All posible spelling errors I made (Ok, you can attack these.)
Argument may be arguement.
Absolutely may be absolutly.
And maybe a few typos I missed.
