If you are against homosexuality in any way shape or form, then you're on the losing side of history. Seriously, in generations to come, people will look at your views similar to those who supported segregation and apartheid, and ridicule your ignorance and small mindedness.
As long as nobody is hurting anyone else or themselves, then there is no issue of morality or ethics.
The term tolerance likewise makes me sick. You tolerate things that are wrong. Homosexuality is not wrong, therefore needs no tolerance. If you 'tolerate' homosexuality, then you're halfway to being a homophobe. The goal isn't tolerance, but indifference.
Also the "as long as they don't hit on me" remark annoys me too.
a) Get over yourself. If women aren't flocking to you, I doubt you're suddenly catnip to men. b) You should be flattered.
I'm a hetrosexual man, and the few times a gay guy came on to me flattered me in the same manner as if an equally attractive woman had. The only people terrified about being hit on by opposite sex are those insecure about their own sexuality. If you're not gay, tell them so, and they'll obviously stop. Therefore what's the problem? Do you think they're intending to try to rape you or something?
The religious issue is another argument entirely, and one of which I am entirely dismissive. Hey, if you can say an entire segment of society is 'wrong' because of your opinion, then I can say your segment of society's entire belief system is a fraud based on mine.

Super Meat Boy / Meat Talk / Hardest level in the game?
|

After some exhausting reseach over the internet, my studies tell me that the above 9 levels seem to be the ones giving people the most difficulty. My question is, which one do you think is the hardest?  My personal vote goes to The Kid 2. The hit detection is so unforgiving on the third lift, that there is almost no margin for error.  XOXO would have got my vote, but after learning to speedrun it, like so many others, it's actually quite simple once you master the timing. I mainly included it as on the 360 version it has the lowest amount of entries on the leaderboard, meaning people must generally find this (warps and glitch levels excluded) the toughest on that version.  I'm also not sure why people find Millennium so hard (maybe it's the bandage?) especially as it's the only level from this list you can use alternate characters on to help you out, and Tim especially makes it a cakewalk.

Super Meat Boy / Meat Talk / Re: Super Meat Boy:Really DOES have 300+ levels

Actually, there's 325
Worlds 1-5 and 7, light and dark = 240 Warp levels = 60 World 6, light and dark = 10 Boss levels = 9 (5 regular boss levels, + 4 The End boss levels. 2 part stage for both light and dark) Glitch Levels = 6
240 + 60 + 10 + 9 + 6 = 325.
We know the game doesn't count glitch levels, but by this count it seems it doesn't count boss levels either.
Not sure where you get 75 warp levels from. There's 4 per world, with 3 levels per zone, and 5 worlds. 4 x 3 = 12. 12 x 5 = 60.
If you include Teh Internets which came with the game's release, that's 345. Sewers of Dross bump it to 365 - one for every day of the year!

Super Meat Boy / Meat Talk / Re: What's your highest leaderboard position on a level?

NUMBER 1 IN THE WORLD FOR COTTON ALLEY 19-X!!!  ...actually number 2, but the first guy has clearly hacked it (and he's been banned too) He's done it subtley by having a seemingly plausible time, but as this level's quickest possible time is dictated by the wall, and I reach Meat Boy AS the wall is disintegrating, you can tell it's impossible to get the extra 0.12 seconds he's representing.  The annoying thing here though is it shows me that not all hacked times are obvious. The majority go for the clearly hacked 0.00 or 2.00, but some must be manually altering them to seem plausible, which to me means there's no point going for records on other levels as you literally cannot tell who is legit or not. I could be kidding myself here, bt this one seems to be an exception purely because the level design dictates the speed you can go through it at.

don't know about individual levels but last I checked I was 105th best meat boy player on Xbox Live  I'm about 75th or so (70th probably once the glitchers are taken care of...) About 90% are Meat Boy runs where my time is my first run as I A+'ed the whole game using just him, with only about 30 or so levels faster times done with The Kid or Spelunky, while just messing around. If I decided to start speedrunning i'm sure I could break top 50, top 20 maybe even, but I wouldn't have the time or patience to go any further, and unless you're aiming for the top spot and willing to fight to keep it then it's not worth investing the months of time it'd take IMO.

Super Meat Boy / Meat Talk / What's your highest leaderboard position on a level?

We can check the global leaderboard for overalls of course, but I just wanted to know if anyone has any individual level heroics? I've not tried to speedrun any of the levels at all, but yesterday managed to get to number 6 in the world on Cotton Alley 19X, purely by accident while in a party with a friend and trying to guide him through it. I'm particularly proud of this one as on the 360, it has the lowest amount of times registered on the leaderboard, which to my money must make it the hardest timed level in the game! I'm very close to first place too. I would have had it but annoyingly (due to not intending a speed run) I must have wasted time on the starting switch as I literally got to Meat Boy as the wall collapsed in front of me. Cannot for the life of me replicate it though!    EDIT - Am now Legit No. 1!!! (2nd after hackers...)
