Are you talking about existentialism or what? What I'm saying is, punk ass white kids have devalued and bastardized the word and it's taken on a completely different meaning.
I'm saying that every time you see the word used it's incorrect, because a truly random anything is impossible by the fact that everything is based upon something else.
Thats kind of what I was getting at with the existentialism joke (stfu I'm a nerd).

Anyway, you're probably right, but thats not what I'm pissed about. It's these damn kids giving a different meaning to the word. See this thread title for an example. If you understand the meaning of the word, then it doesn't make sense.

ps Akuma - aren't random number generators based on algorithms, making blase's point correct?
