FIFA 13

I've seen you do it a couple of times. But the one I can think off straight off the top of my head was a conversation we were all having about food and the topic of pork came up and you said that eating pork was disgusting and filthy or some shit like that.

Sentiments, which I believe come from your culture. It's not really a big deal, everyone does it, even me. I just try harder than most people to be conscience about it.

I know where Ahly is coming from though, when he said "People in the Western world treat their pets differently." When my parents lived in Jamaica they had a "pet" dog, but the dog was never allowed in the house, they hardly fed it (it ate rabbits 'n shit he found), and when they left the country they just left him behind without a second thought.

Western civilization treat pets as part of their family, not animals. Obviously my parents never ate their dog but the comparison is there because they just essentially abandoned it.

On the actual topic of FIFA, for people with the full game how does it feel? Is the first touch toned down from the demo?

I personally eat pork but a lot of my relatives don't. Again, when my Uncle was in Jamaica as a kid he was riding his bike down a road and he came across a pig that had been hit by a car, and there was another pig that was eating the rotting dead pig. He said it scarred him and he never ate pork after he saw that.

To me, even if I didn't care for the pet I don't want to eat something I've looked after in any way at all, I just want to see it looking nice on my plate after not knowing it, given any choice at all I'd never in a million years do what Ahly and his family done, but the way he said it was so csual it just sounds fucked up to me, oh we're moving lets eat the rabbit, could have given it away or something why eat the fucking thing?

I forget which, but some Police organization (think it might be German or Russian) make their special ops nurture a pet chicken for a year and after that year they have to kill it and eat it. It's supposed to make them cold to death or something.

Saw it on deadliest warrior.

That's not an opinion, that's a fact. Pigs are truly filthy and have been known for carrying diseases. People were asking me why Islam banned the consumption of pork and I said it was probably because of those reasons. I don't recall me attacking people for eating it though.

If you restart your Xbox will it restart the download?

I'm wondering this too, because if my internet cuts out.

Just gonna give it a try, maybe the download will go a bit quicker again. If not, I'll just sleep and download it overnight.

Yeah make sure you let me know.

Just lost my first game because my defenders were all falling over eachother.

Restarted and my download is continuing, can't really see a change in the speed though.

It's not a demo, it's a 6.6gb full game.

Just ignore him. He is looking for a reaction.

After an hour it was at 50%. However after 3 hours it's now at 92%

This like like 8x large than the demo lol, with probably the same amount of people downloading it because since they paid for the early release they are going to want to download it on the first day.

38%. Should be done by tomorrow morning.

Oh, okay.

If those pictures were directed at any other religion would they have been deleted? No.

I recall Jela getting banned for making comments about Catholics or whatever you Celtic fans follow.

Win 3 games in a row. Lose the next 2.

I don't follow any religion.

You know what I mean. Don't act like Muslims get special treatment. In fact, you should be banned just like Jela was if the mods/admins want to keep it consistent.
