At that point it stops being WE have to do everything and becomes YOU have to do everything. Because we all pay the exact same dollar amount of taxes right? What was the figure some years back: 47% of Americans don't pay income tax yet want a say in how tax dollars are spent. --- |

| lightwarrior78 09/12/17 3:25:59 PM #38 | Sometimes it's hard to tell trolls from legit stupidity, but I'll play along. So my reward for being smart enough to not have a kid I don't want, can't afford, and wouldn't treat well is to have my lower income wages taxed extra to help people that fucked up in that regard? Another step to voting right. As for my "contributing to society" my job is at a place providing care for the developmentally disabled, and I regularly volunteer fundraise for organizations that provide aid for medical care / research for conditions lie diabetes, kidney troubles and blindness. What do you do? --- |

| Topic | republicans think lex luthor is the good guy and superman is the villain |
| lightwarrior78 09/07/17 4:48:19 PM #36 | Zeus posted... Given that Lex has been the good guy and Superman the tyrant in many continuities (Red Son, Injustice, etc), anybody who sees Lex as a good guy wouldn't necessarily be wrong. Granted, this shit topic is low-tier trolling so it wouldn't necessarily know about any of that. Depending on the incarnation he does have a point. He believes mankind should rise to the levels of greatness it can rather than cry to the blue tighted alien for help all the time. That same incarnation was a poor orphan that worked his way up pissed that Superman got to be great just by living on the planet. As for Superman's legal status. Original origin was written in the 1930s, so would be set around the turn of the century, a time with far more foundlings and far fewer social service regulations, and zero concern for anchor babies. Modern origins have the Kents claim he's their own (long winter, birthed at home, etc) so no adoption process was brought up. Smallville ignored this to make Lionel Luthor eviler by having him owed a foavor by the Kents. --- |

| Topic | What is about AVGN that makes it work so much better than Nostalgia critic? |
| lightwarrior78 09/05/17 4:12:37 PM #17 | I think a lot of it is Jams keeps his material at a monthly at best level while Doug is weekly. It keeps things from getting tired and overdone. The nature of the material probably also helps. James can and does (mostly) limit what he covers to "just the mockable" parts while Doug is stuck with the full movie. When you have to cover everything, not every joke will land, and the efforts can come off pretentious or unfair (ie: plot holes in movies for 5 year olds). --- |

It's inspired by an old 80s Canadian sketch comedy show: You can't do that on Television. One of the kids on the show said much the same thing about how lame it is to celebrate Columbus day, and the teacher agreed it shouldn't be celebrated, so the class could report to school that morning. Canceling the holiday shows commitment. Renaming it into a different day off is just continuing the trend of "feels good but doesn't really help anybody" activism that's been going on lately. --- |

| Topic | So about Littlefinger *spoilers* |
| lightwarrior78 08/28/17 5:05:28 PM #64 | I think Littlefinger's scheming abilities were rather overstated. In hindsight after last night, he started losing control a while ago. No plan of his would have involved Catherine's death. If anything his early plans seem clear cut: get Ned out of the way, console the grieving widow, say just the right things to get people he hates to kill each other thinking it was their own idea, and make a power play when enough of them had been decimated, though he never seemed the type to actually be the figurehead himself (too easy a target). When Catherine died he lost the figurehead that would have held the north together with him pulling the strings and he's been running damage control ever since. The Boltons were too difficult to deal with and Sansa wasn't playing along, so things were falling apart, but with the battle of the bastards he got a new opportunity to be the power behind the throne. He couldn't do it with Jon and Arya being more trusted in Sansa's mind so he went back to playing his games. So while anti-climactic, it was fitting for him. He's not the master schemer, but a great emotional manipulator that fell the same way all people that practice such things do: he played so long people figured out that's what he was doing. Once you accept every word out of their mouth is just playing you, you stop listening and they lose all power. --- |

| Topic | My theory for why our generation is so weak and pathetic |
| lightwarrior78 08/23/17 3:42:48 PM #11 | You're halfway there. Having a shit leader in office, financial uncertainty, even terrorism are facts of life for a lot of the world. The current generation wasn't raised to deal with or expect hardship because parents tried to limit their exposure to such things. Now reality hits and they're overwhelmed and unprepared for a world where their guardians don't or can't just fix the problem for them. They're traumatized because some of this is the first real hardship they've faced, if you can even call some of it hardship and not inconvenience. --- |

| Topic | fear effect is back, why? oh we are in a SJW era |
| lightwarrior78 08/21/17 2:11:38 PM #16 | Joeydollaz posted... MrMallard posted......How is this an "SJW" thing? It's a 30 second teaser trailer with no fucking details about the game itself or the plot. The only way to pin this as an "SJW" thing is to make several massive leaps of logic and run it against some SJW strawman to justify yourself - e.g. "reboot of a 90's game series with a female character, point out that she's a badass action girl, hence it's probably going to feature 'girl power' themes and/or the executive producer will discuss feminism in upcoming interviews, making it an SJW game. If not, SJWs will embrace the game and co-opt it to turn it into a feminism thing, hence making it an SJW thing." SE likes to exploit old franchises they have in an attempt to not be so reliant on their big 3 (Final Fantasy, Dragon Quest, Kingdom Hearts). I rather like the series. One part survival horror based on Asian tropes instead of zombies and one part exploitation film. Remember, SJWs get pissed about bikini armor. The first game had a segment in a towel (which you remove to distract an enemy) and another in a brothel in some kind of 2 piece lingerie. Second game had light bondage elements and, yes, the infamous lesbian kissing to distract security guards scene. Unless it goes through a heavy re-write, the SJWs are going to hate this one. I on the other hand will be happy. --- |

| lightwarrior78 08/18/17 11:02:33 PM #18 | At one point it was amended to prohibit access to booze. It later needed an new amendment to get rid of the old one because it wasn't effective and had some nasty social consequences. I wouldn't expect an attempt with guns to go over any better. --- |

It's pretty far down the list of issues they'd like addressed to the point of it looking like a rich white person's attempt to do the easiest good they can rather than address more pressing problems. I didn't say it's okay. I said they were a functionally useless activities chosen because they are able to be done mostly by being mad on social media rather than the actual tangible positive impact they'd have, as well as implying the selfishness of putting so much energy into low return projects as a form of dick measuring virtue signaling while people that need real help aren't getting it. Sorry, but as someone that's lived and worked in the non-profit charity sector most of my life, I see more good being done in a single bag of groceries dropped off at a food bank than the cumulative confederate nazi decrying done in the last week. --- |

| Topic | What does removing confederate statues do anyway ? |
| lightwarrior78 08/16/17 6:03:53 PM #37 | Little if anything. People blaming the statues for systemic racism will wake up and find themselves in the same shitty life they had last month and will move on to something else to blame. Of course since this only became this big fired up "must deal with now" issue in the last week, I'd say it's a fun bandwagon for people to jump on just to piss of Trump supporters whereas a week ago these were just things pigeons pooped on. --- |

If say, people went out espousing communist views suddenly started losing their jobs (again, as that happened historically). There's be hell to pay if someone lost their job for an occupy wall street rally, or just half the more pro-communist shit posted online. For that matter, being gay was once a great way to lose your job because it was seen as degenerate behavior people didn't want to consort with. Nazi's joined Commie as a term tossed out far to freely for me to take seriously. Even seeing the symbols only makes me wonder if they really believe in the philosophy, or if they just went out to trigger as many leftists as possible. --- |

I am by no means well off. I could use that $36 to put food into my own refrigerator I'd prefer to live in a world where "help" didn't mean being given shit for nothing but rather be being taught how to care for and provide for yourself. Kind of the same reason I wouldn't do someone's homework for them: we all have difficulties, but we're supposed to be trying to get this right, not endless cry for help from others to avoid doing the work ourselves. Don't chew me out. I don't think there's shame in needing social assistance. I think there's shame in not seriously trying to get / stay off it, and keeping junk or luxury foods out of it is a decent incentive to ensure a job is a better option. Edit: I also don't care if I can afford it. I refuse to care for someone that isn't trying to care for themselves. I've got cousins like this: jobless, in their 30s, living with or off their parents, and likely to stay that way for life because no one wants to be the heavy and make them do things to help get a job like get up before noon and stop drinking and smoking weed to excess. --- |
