Suggestions CompilationIn the history lookup of forums pwned, it would be nice if the forums in your latest chain were displayed in a different color. That would make it easier to know where I can pwn without doing a repeat. (view post) |

Wow...This Week is...Awkward.I agree, and I just started submittting things. It’s not so much that some of my submissions are doing poorly(although one is doing very well), I can accept that my stuff may suck. But some of the stuff that’s doing well objectively blows. (view post) |

Suggestions CompilationSuggestion: include the forum designation alongside the thread name in the recent posts area. I’m a denizen of SRSLY, not the Trollhole. I think making it obvious will save everyone a fair bit of grief/drama/banning, even if Trolls lose one means of attack. (view post) |

Charlton Heston died!When I talk about the world getting better, it’s less that I think he is good or bad as a person. It’s more that I think he’ll be of less use to the gun folks dead than he would as a famous actor. I guess that has yet to be seen, though. (view post) |

The dollar failsGRX, I really shouldn’t have to puzzle out your arguments or alignments from your posts- being forthright from the beginning could have saved us a lot of time. Ayn Rand has, um, a pretty bad reputation in a bunch of circles, for a bunch of reasons. I would strongly encourage you to read some criticisms of her work and Objectivism as a whole before you go quoting her. Rand’s fictional novels, particularly, have a nasty rep as being designed specifically to ensnare people who don’t understand the context of their views, by creating worlds specifically around making the arguments of Objectivism seem valid. Similarly, Anthem is criticized, because in it Rand describes her views as a fully original system, something they certainly are not. Rand’s views are also not something that you would necessarily find agreed to in Libertarian circles; even there, Objectivism is considered pretty extreme.
These aren’t systemic, but a couple internal inconsistencies in your own post above:
It seems strange and self-contradictory to suggest that a ratification of an Amendment, or any other process, can be illegal. Even if this were the case, illegality is insufficiently strong as a reason for denial-such an action should be established as amoral, unethical or even immoral before you can act as if it’s bad. Otherwise, your reasoning at least appears to be circular.
In regard to quotes on freedom or rights, you are going to need to define both concepts in regard to how you use them. Otherwise, they’re little more than rhetorical hammers.
It seems like you’re using a heavily Kantian system here, but I’m not sure, because Rand wasn’t quite Kantian in her views, either. I fear we aren’t going to communicate very well, because I’m more of a Pragmatist or a Consequentialist in my views. For me, reducing suffering or raising unemployment are more important than preserving fiscal rights. Regardless, I am interested in understanding just where you’re coming from. (view post) |

I wanna be the guyOK, a couple strategies for the Dark Prince of Night:
A Once the soul-balls come out, focus on jumping around them and shooting them so that they overlap and occupy the same space. This makes navigating around the other attacks a lot easier.
B One of the corners(the left, I think) lets you avoid the mbumive fruit-burst, guaranteed. Staying near there can make that section easier.
C You can touch the flames in the firey fruit-shot attack- only the fruits themselves hurt you.
D SPOILERS: Good News: Drac’s third form dies in one hit and doesn’t attack, so you have nothing to worry about there.
Above all, remember that dying isn’t always your fault- Drac is the only boss with a semi-random moveset, so sometimes you can just get screwed. Good luck, and keep at it! (view post) |

First black man, first woman, or Vietnam vetI’m a huge Asimov fan myself- Asimov, Bradbury, Scott Card, the greats are hard to forget. I like Asimov’s work the most, I read all of his stuff in 4th grade… 400 published works… good times… (view post) |

I wanna be the guyIf anyone needs help or advice, and doesn’t mind mbumive spoilers, I’d recommend either A The IWBTG forums B Youtube videos by Nikumatic http://www.youtube.com/user/Nikumatic These show a perfect runthrough of the game, segment by segment. C Post here, and I’ll do what I can. I haven’t beaten the game on anything higher than Medium, and I haven’t gone for the hidden stuff yet. I’ll do my best to keep spoilers to a minimum.

First black man, first woman, or Vietnam vetYou’re bumuming their arguments and information are accurate. If they are indeed ‘nuts’, it would stand to reason that they may give biased interpretation of evidence. For example, off the top of my head, I can intuit that Planned Parenthood focuses on minority or low-income areas because groups in these areas may have less money with which to afford abortions. This is simply another possible reason for PP to do what they do, as opposed to some eugenics-derived motivation. As far as the call-in example, it’s not very robust-people accept monetary donations from folks who espouse different views, even those that the recipients find offensive. Generally speaking, it seems disingenuous to present this information without also presenting its slanted background and source, then act as if we just need to ‘decide for ourselves’ as if we’ve been given full disclosure; that’s a Fox News move.

First black man, first woman, or Vietnam vetFor starters, all of your sources stem from this group:
http://www.studentgroups.ucla.edu/sgweb/details_frame.asp?OrgID=799
When all your sources have the same stated ulterior motive for attacking a group like planned parenthood, you should reexamine your views. (view post) |
