    For those tards who haven't bought the digital upgrade yet. I pity you
    Don't even try to excuse it with shit like "I don't have a visa". If you simply don't, your not old enough to troll this forum.

    You know what amazed me? That you, a friggin fast-food junkie can even call us "eurotrash"
    You yankee turds are the definition of trash.. Just look it up in the dictionary and you'll even find a picture
    You realize you just proved his point about being a bunch of whiners, right? Go drink some tea and get over yourself.

    Yeah
    God forbid they launch at the same time since it so hard to sync up shit with computers isn't it.
    If you only you could develop your own cool video games you would have less annoying Americans to cry about.

    LOL yeah, free Healthcare.

    Let me educate people a little about the EU free healthcare. It's free...but that is a good and a bad thing. By being free they have to look for ways to cut corners. Just like the medicaid system in America. It won't pay for you to have fillings put into your teeth, but it will pay for them to get cut out. Yes, it's an odd system. Of course what you won't see much of on the news, but it's pretty funny to med students, is the advanced medical research going on in the EU...oh wait.

    That's right, if they want an experimental drug, guess where they go. If they have a new treatment 9 times out of 10 they are coming to America asking to use it. Now I don't have anything against EU. They are pretty cool, but if you want to bring up your free healthcare I will educate you about the many failings of it. For example the reason you have most of the medicines that you offer for free is because in America we don't. The companies here make money, and then put that money into research. It's really a shame that we give the tech out for free also. Does it make sense that American's have to pay for the medicines, to advance research, so that the research can be given out to other countries? The reality is though only by charging are you going to have advances in medicine.

    When I finish my education I will donate time at a clinic once a month. The fact is though I will want to feed my wife, and my kids, and my cat. I will want to provide them with a nice place to live, that is secure, I will want them to have nice clothes, goto a good school where they aren't surrounded by rap, and drug dealers. All of that cost money, so I will go to wherever pays me. Currently that is America, because other countries are all about the "free" healthcare. Then wonder why they can't get any doctors...oh let's think about it.

    Oh, and in addition to things you obviously love to complain about American's yet can't get enough of : Movies, Video Games (both online and offline), Food (you can't deny it), Music (love all the EU pale imitations of real music face it we've had the best since Elvis) Software (you know you use windows) etc.

    So hate all you want, but keep paying and QQ about American's to someone that cares.

    Haha, without the viking myths about Orcs etc. You wouldn't even be playing WoW kid. Grow the fuck up.
    Actually the orcs in this video game are much more closely related to Japanese Oni. So please go learn something before trying to talk down to people better than you.

    Oh, yeah links.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oni_%28folklore%29

    In addition to that isn't the word Orc an invention of one J.R.R. Tolkien. So I went and looked this up:

    # s, as far as I am concerned, actually derived from Old English orc 'demon', but only because of its phonetic suitability"[4]
    # "I originally took the word from Old English orc (Beowulf 112 orc-neas and the gloss orc = þyrs ('ogre'), heldeofol ('hell-devil')). This is supposed not to be connected with modern English orc, ork, a name applied to various sea-beasts of the dolphin order."[5]
    # "The word used in translation of Q urko, S orch is Orc. But that is because of the similarity of the ancient English word orc, 'evil spirit or bogey', to the Elvish words. There is possibly no connection between them. The English word is now generally supposed to be derived from Latin Orcus."[6]
    # "Orc I derived from Anglo-Saxon, a word meaning demon, usually supposed to be derived from the Latin Orcus – Hell. But I doubt this, though the matter is too involved to set out here".[7]

    This is the most closet racist thing that I've ever seen on this site. You may have well said "I don't want my poor wittle daugter around those big scawy black guys.

    I think you are the closet racist there buddy. You naturally make the assumption that anyone doing drugs, and listening to rap is black. I don't. I've seen them of all types, and I don't want to have to live around that trash, nor do I want my family to live around it. Maybe you should stop projecting.

    lunaspike you really think you are educating people about healthcare by what you wrote?

    Greed and selfishness that drive the healthcare ANYWHERE in the world have no race and ethnicity. But putting your country above others must feel good to you.

    My country..yes that's why I wrote I would go to wherever I would get paid the best. Unless you are saying that where I will always get paid the best is my country.

    While Greed and selfishness are negative to you , can you deny they have positive impacts? If a wealthy pharmaceutical company invents a new drug out of greed, does their negative greed make it any less positive to a parent when that drugs saves the life of their child? Is that why the drug company did it? Yes, because if they don't make drugs that save then they won't get paid. So while Greed may be negative to you, the positive effects it has are still there. This is hardly the place for such a philosophical discussion, but feel free to send me a private message. I generally always respond, unless you spell what as "wut". Then I will probably just ignore you.

    "Worgen" is the plural form of worgen, NOT "worgens".
