I think a lot of factors decide what class you are: level of education, the kind of building you live in / grew up in, world views, accent, political allignment, how much money you make.

Of course, these things do vary by country and culture, to say nothing of the recession sorta changing things.

Who was the one that became President but didn't really want to be President? Was that Buchanan? Filmore? I cannot remember, but I remember reading on some list of bad presidents that one definitely had no interest.

You're thinking of Donald Trump.


You're probably talking about Truman. He really was fine being VP, and he hated the idea of being president. But, history sometimes plays cruel tricks on us.

Yes, I know. But he downplayed it a LOT. His walking sticks were very strong, to say nothing of the press generally not being able to photograph him in the wheelchair. I mean, he died in office!

Many people in the media knew about his illness.

They chose not to talk about it out of respect to him, or so as to not make the country look weak.

But don't think it was some big secret to the people around him.


Lulz. Are you serious?

So, the people who worked for him knew, but not the millions who were expected to vote for him, and have enough information to do so well? You are a great shill for certain presidents. You should've campaigned for them or something, talking up their good points, and glossing over their bad stuff.

Doesn't it bother you that Roosevelt hid / downplayer a very serious illness to the public?


Nope, not in the slightest. He was just trying to avoid bad press.

Doesn't it bother you that Reagan was a right wing nut?


There are many things I dislike about Reagan, but he still had some positive impact, particularly with respect to the Soviet Union and the perception of the US by the rest of the world (particularly the former Soviet Bloc). I don't think he belongs in the bottom tier.

Doesn't it bother you that Polk was...almost completely forgettable?


That is the fault of people's ignorance and not a reflection on his actual accomplishments. In just a single term the borders of the US expanded dramatically under his administration. The part of the US that I live in right now was acquired during his presidency. I should be grateful for him for that. What was called "Oregon Country" could have ended up in British hands had we had a President who was less keen on westward expansion at the time, which would mean the states of Washington, Oregon, Idaho, and a bit of Montana would be Canadian today.


FDR was just trying to avoid bad press? Isn't that like saying Nixon trying to cover up all his secret recordings of people was just to avoid bad press? Or Clinton not talking about Monica Lewinski was just to avoid bad press?

Also I think that Thomas Jefferson needs to be in the Very Good tier even though he wasn't mentioned on your list. He belongs there.

Truth


I've read plenty about the presidents. Just because you lot don't agree with me, doesn't make me ignorant. And of course a Briton would have different opinions to Americans. That shouldn't be a surprise. I mean, almost half of Americans voting in the last election voted for Trump. You think many Britons, or non-Americans in general, approve of that?

Bush wasn't THAT bad. I mean, I'm not fan of the right wing, and he was no intellectual heavyweight (lol), but he seems like a good man, and he had a fair bit of charisma. You have to remember, he was dealt a very bad hand. How would you like it, if 8 months into your presidency, something like 9/11 happened? Bush was basically decent...just about.

I go back from time to time, and start a new files, but I still haven't completely beat it. I had it for maybe 8 years before I even beat the main game (although I did a lot of extra stuff as well, admittedly). It's just such a ridiculously long and hard game.

I've had a file I've worked on for a while, that I started last year, and I've actually done a lot. About 84% of goals completed in general, and about 40% have been done to at least Pro standard. Only about 10 or 11% done on Sick difficulty, though. I've only done maybe 2 of the 9 Classic challenges completely on this file, which are probably the hardest part of the game. I remember doing various Classic challenges on other files, and they often took about 3 or 4 hours...and that was when I'd already beaten them on Pro. This game is crazy. It's one of my favourite 7th gen games, but it really is difficult. Of course, some people started with the very first game, and bought every game afterwards, up until Proving Grounds, which is pretty much the end of the main series, and I skipped several.

It's no Eraserhead, Blue Velvet, or Mulholland Dr.

Why do we need games that are 100 GB or more? What is actually IN these games? Is it just put towards extremely detailed, and therefore memory intensive, textures, and 4K graphics?

- Spend 10 minutes setting up an extremely elaborate combo
- Do this while dealing with the random distribution of different coloured beans, and of course, the enemy dropping grey beans on you
- Watch section after section of the combo disappear beans
- Watch literally dozens of grey beans land on your opponent, destroying their strategy completely
- 20 or 30 seconds later, the enemy is beaten
