Most fights and wars stem from the fact that men run countries and they can't talk about problems; people think they're weak if they don't fight. It's a sad situation, but it's so ingrained in us at this point that it will be hard to undo.

It's more of a survival thing, really. Crying involves tears, which impair vision and result in a males ability to defend and fight being diminished. Tears in a female also generate the fight/defense response in men, so in a sense it's a females means of fighting back/defending that makes up for the physical disparity amongst the sexes.

Tears killed men and saved women. Evolution took note.

That's definitely an interesting theory, more from the biological end of things. My studies were in sociology, so I tend to know those theories better. However it's always best to know all ends of the spectrum.

I've found that for things like this, if you first look for a basic biological reason for evolution to allow traits like this to propogate things tend to end up as a simple 'Oh yeah.'

Consider anger. It's a great biological boost to one's fighting abilities. Also, is there any guy here that sees a pretty girl crying and doesn't feel a need to help out somehow?

And may the gods have mercy on anyone that causes a mans wife/daughter to cry. Instant anger/defense mode. Biological reason, at the deepest level, is protecting the spreading of your own genes.

"Hold on a second I am being hacked"

"My trade window popped up for no reason and stole 20k, I have to go convince ANET to give it back!"

"I hear someone screaming"

"I just saw a demon, dead serious" (He wouldnt be able to type if he had)

"Someone opened the door"

""""
"My monitor just shut off, I cant see anything." (Gold storm bow drops and he runs to pick it up)
US: "Umm I thought your monitor shut off, how did you pick that up?"
"I just clicked somwere on the screen and got it"
US: "Do you honestly think we are that stupid?"
"NO SERIOUS! MY MONITOR IS BLACK I CANT SEE ANYTHING!"
US: "How old are you?"
"21"
US: "Hahahaha"
"DUDE, I AM REALLY 21! I GTG... GAY MORONS!"
""""

"Hey guys, I need to go out to smoke weed : D"

(I wish I had made these up, but people are really that stupid, sadly)

Sorry that it's cruel, but the truth is like that.

This is an actual one when i went into Fissure to get my armor (was on the vent group with them):

Him: hey guys i got a problem
Us: whats that?
Him: My girlfriend is about to have her baby
Us: damn and youre playing guildwars?
Him: yeah since i wont get to play very often i wanted to get some more time in
Us: when did her water break?
Him: about 35 minutes ago, but i wanted to finish this quest
Us: dude WTF, go get her to the hospital
Him: not till i find my razorstone
Him: (gf yelling in background) hey asshole stop tellign them in pregnant so you can go finish downloading porn cause youre bored
Us: laughing to hard to respond!!
Him: umm...... uh.... im getting an err 7, im lagging
/disconnects from game
Us: wow he got pwned

Rancour · Oct 26, 2005, 08:46 PM // 20:46

God, that's priceless! The pregnant girlfriend one.

The one I laugh most is the "little brother-excuse".

My team is doing "Defend Denravi" quest and we are recovering from a fight with, what, 10 Titans? Wise of us to go against them, head-on. Anyway, we'd defeated them and were healing for the next 5.

Me: "Stay here and let's heal. We have 4 dead people and we're all low on health."

Him: *Runs into group of 5 Titans and lures them back to us*

Us: *Die, since we were only 4 on low health*

Us: *You n00b, why did you do that when Enkido/I told you not to!?"

Him: "I was AFK and my little brother was playing! I got him off now! You're all n00bs for not surviving!" *Leaves*

Us: *Leave*

I know it isn't very original but I think it's so funny since I've heard that excuse SO many times.

Knido · Oct 26, 2005, 08:48 PM // 20:48

why was he looking for a Razorstone in Fissure?!?!?

Unknown_Hero · Oct 26, 2005, 09:13 PM // 21:13

My m8s one was pretty funny... (playing counterstrike tho)
Matt: "Sorry i was afk, my mum fell down the stairs"

nightrunner · Oct 27, 2005, 01:18 AM // 01:18

A rather disturbing one:

Guy:"Sorry guys, I have to leave."
Us:"Awww... why?"
Guy:"I have to go to the bathroom."
Guy2:"Just go, I'm patient - 3 minutes won't hurt anybody."
Guy:"I'm constipated. It might be 45 minutes or so."

And then he D/C'd.

This sounds fishy... do you think this guy is trying to get an awesome weapon for 1,000 gold?

Reached HoH, beat others and left with one team.....yes, its Koreans.

Before we battle, one member decides to leave, the rest of the team wondered why since its the last group. The leaver says that he/she doesnt play against koreans since they are noobs and cheats. Rest of team was silence and I was like WTF?.

Then he/she left. Then one by one others left since the leaver was one of the monks and another monk left cause he/she claims we cant do this anymore, then by the end I was the only guy left, and yes, I was a monk.

When battle starts the Korean team surrounded me and asked what was going on, I had the pleasure to tell them what happened, and they laughed.....dont blame them....funny thing was they surrounded me in a circle and we chatted before they rape me and win HoH.

Was kinda funny, wish I had taked a screen shot.....SURROUNDED BY ENEMY AND CHATTED LOL.

Overall conlcusion......WEIRD, FUNNY AND CRAZY FEELING
