What makes gen 7 so much better than 6?

I did like some of the things gen 7 did (the Ride Pager and Island Challenge), but overall, it wasn't that big a departure IMO.

I'm a big supporter of gay rights and have zero bigotry when it comes to anyone's sexuality. That said, this study seems...questionable. It sort of implies that bigotry is innate and kind of ignores environmental/social factors. For example, the black community is in general really homophobic. Does that mean black people are naturally stupid? ...Not buying that.

Ew why the fuck would anyone vote gen 3?

Because Hoenn is the best

This is pretty much entrapment isn't it?

Entrapment is a specific thing that law enforcement does to engineer a crime where there isn't any.

Example:

NOT ENTRAPMENT:
Cop: Wanna buy this cocaine?
Guy: Sure
Cop: I'm arresting you for buying cocaine.

ENTRAPMENT:
Cop: Wanna buy this baking powder?
Guy: Sure
Cop: JK it's actually cocaine now you're under arrest.

This is pretty much entrapment isn't it?

See? See how you're actually defending the actions of violent criminals? I never once said stealing bikes should be legal, but you are literally defending violent criminals.

I've never once defended the people trying to steal the bikes. You have proudly defended people that are breaking the law, so much so that you think the law should be changed to allow these criminals to freely commit these crimes.

Can't believe you'd stoop so low as to actually defend violent criminals. Who raised you? They should be ashamed, if they're not already.

Why wouldn't it mean you're both wrong? You're both defending criminals.

I wish I could move to California.

Again I will put this info out there. California has 25% of the nation's homeless population.

And yet they seem to be doing just fine.

States with less homeless people are far worse off. Clearly your state should try to get more homeless people in it

I live in California and Sacramento is overwhelmed with the homeless.

As someone who's had their bike stolen in the past, I see nothing wrong here. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

If the thief gets hurt, it's their own damn fault for trying to take what doesn't belong to them.

I don't see why people are seeing this as wrong. If everyone did this, nobody would ever try to steal bikes again

It'd against the law.

Then the law is wrong and should be changed

Sorry but I don't think you're qualified to make that decision. You just seem like you'd change a law solely to help your argument on a dying video game website.

I would live there if I was rich

You don't have to be rich to live in Cali. Urban areas are expensive, sure, but there are a lot of homes outside of that that aren't ridiculously priced.

ah yes the working class can just spend two hours a day commuting, that'll help em out

I received similar advice yesterday when I said how expensive Toronto housing was.

"Just move a 3 hour drive up north - problem solved"

It was stupid, it was wrong, it was incredibly dangerous, and it was reckless. It was also funny. I'm fully aware that the only reason why I laughed is because I was not involved in the situation and nobody actually got hurt.

I agree that it was stupid, but it wasn't dangerous. People chose to take the obviously fake warning seriously and panic. That's on them.

In my case I'd have just loled and walked away

You'd also be a victim in a real emergency so comme ci comme a.

I think the smart thing to do is listen to some random person on CE and not what all the vets and trainers recommend. CE obviously knows best.

Well yeah. Listen to those with first hand experience rather than those bought and paid for by the private prison industry.

You were bought and paid for by the private prison industry?

Honestly it's like you think most pet owners don't have jobs or something.

You learn pretty quickly not to leave your puppy around things they arent supposed to chew. Especially, high energy breeds like shepherds

My carpet agrees smh, when I first got my German Shepherd I attempted crating her and came home at lunch to see she had pulled back the base and dug through the carpet and padding lol. Never crated her again after that she just free roams around my house, much better for her too as she is anxious and over-vigilant as GSD's tend to be.

If they want to have kids in the future for some absurd reason, they can just save some sperm/eggs. Hell, include a lifetime free storage in the benefits package, win win.

Lol, I thought the point was to save money. You realize how much it would cost to harvest and store eggs? To transfer it to a uterus through in vitro fertilization? And do that for every single person who chooses it with no guarantee that it will succeed?

Also, what if both spouses chose to be sterilized? Will the kind of sterilization procedure used be the type where a sterilized woman can be implanted with a fertilized egg and be allowed to grow or will they have to get a surrogate? Will the government also pay for the surrogate?

The more you think about it, the dumber it sounds.

a hearty lol @ all the people acting like caging the dog is some sort of abuse

Your mistake is that you think it's a simple, fair choice. Someone who can't afford medical treatment, food, or shelter because of their financial status and chooses to be sterilized for money is not making a free, voluntary choice. You're not thinking of the real life implications of a rule like this.

I slowly conditioned my dog to enjoy the crate

Removing all accidental birth will solve or address a vast majority of our problems.

Well sure, but I didn't think that's what you were saying

Darklit_Minuet posted...

But they shouldn't. Neither should rich people. We have enough humans

Sure, that'll solve all our problems, without creating any new ones.

how could anyone possibly support this

Is it not voluntary?

it's basically "poor people shouldn't have kids", the program

Yeah i doubt that's the full story. Dude clearly did something that warranted the police to shoot.
