xfd @ actually believing they can beat Mario and even Link

60% on the fighters is great, especially since they nearly doubled Fox/Wolf. They also stand to gain a bandwagon due to nostalgia.

Summer 2004 had Frog and the Ryu/Sora/Jill trio, which were largely insignificant matches (with the exception of Frog/Snake) in the long run.

Beyond that it was nothing more than upper-midcarders getting wasted in SFF matches rather than being put in interesting scenarios. There really was no excuse for wasting Auron/Squall/Ganon/Bowser like that.

This contest may give us a championship run from the Trainers, which would put it over 2004.

I know you guys like to be antagonistic toward Vlado because he's Vlado, but is anyone actually thinking this has a chance to be anything other than the worst contest we've ever had by far?

I mean, unless you're just a big Trainers fan and you're thrilled to see them make a big run, but even then, you have to admit that the rest of the contest has been awful.

Summer 2004 was pretty horrid. We had Frog, of course, but did that make up for SFF match after SFF match?

So you're saying nothing should be done to stop all the bullying that gay students face because that would be stomping on the rights of parents to make their kids into douchebags?

Uh, you can punish bullies without indoctrinating children. Hating someone isn't necessarily wrong. Acting upon it pretty much always is.

Because that's what a large percentage of their parents tell them

And God forbid parents be allowed to raise their children according to their own values. We certainly can't have that, not when we can use the power of the state to forcibly indoctrinate them!

Why can't a parent raise his or her child to be a bigot, I say!?

What are some examples of the "incredibly unpopular" things he says?

End the fed. Abolish about half of the departments. Get the federal government out of legislation involving marriage AND drugs. Remove ALL the troops from overseas (including Germany, South Korea, etc.) Did you not hear him get booed off the stage at the one debate for being the only candidate willing to take Bin Laden at his word regarding why we were attacked?

How about the racist garbage in his newsletters from the nineties? Though they may not have been written by him, the fact that a newsletter written in his name contained them in the first place is disturbing.

Criticizing the Civil Rights Act of 1964 as setting a precedent for federal intrusion in the private sector?

Or what the We the People Act would mean for atheists discriminated against in highly religious states?

How about his ad in 2007 featuring immigrants crossing the border in a sped up motion resembling the quick movements of rodents?

Or why that same ad declared no student visas for individuals from terrorist nations?

Wouldn't a true libertarian believe in judging an individual based on his individual actions rather than his or her place of residence?

So you admit that your salary comes from confiscated wealth, dislike the fact, and still keep the money?

All while arguing against the income tax?

Disgusting.

John Galt paid income tax on his income from his job at Taggart Transcontinental, didn't he?

He's a fictional character.

You, on the other hand, have the ability to live up to what you preach.

True, but then again, neither do I. I'm all in favor of eliminating the income tax and replacing it with a tax on consumption. Are you?

I'm not educated enough about taxation to have a stance on the income tax. I do know that if I had your feelings on the matter, I would refuse to work within an immoral system.

Yep. I entered into a contractual agreement, and I work for one of the very few agencies that the federal government is explicitly tasked with providing in the US constitution. I also do my job pretty damn well. You're getting a great value by employing me. You're welcome.

You're using confiscated wealth, socialist.

See, charmander gets it. Under capitalism, sharing isn't illegal. Everyone is free to share their property if they choose to do so.

Also, I just have one question for you. How did all that sharing work out for the hunter/gatherers? I'd rather live in today's America then spend my entire life running away from lions and dying of smallpox at age 22.

I wasn't trying to attack you or anything; I was just surprised by the findings, considering that it clashes with the social structure that dominated most of human evolutionary history.

Anyway, considering that they had a sustainable lifestyle that lasted for thousands of years, it seems like it worked well for them. (http://www.utexas.edu/courses/sami/diehtu/siida/hunting/jonsa.htm).

What's more, I don't think we should be so quick to criticize their way of life considering that modern society has more than enough health problems in its own right.

I'm sorry if you thought I was being mean to you, btw.

Who knew, capitalism comes natural! You have to be indoctrinated out of it!

Pretty surprising considering the importance that hunting-gathering societies place on sharing.
