As far as the Inhumanoids: we're still trying to forget the trauma associated with this show; not because it was bad, but because it was horrifying *awesome*: Observe:

He's also the GAME OVERTHINKER, so it's not much of a stretch.

Actually, I can field that one: the reason most southeastern US states vote Republican was because of Nixon's Southern Strategy during the 1970s. Nixon wanted to appeal to Southern white male voters who--while still hating black Americans--felt alienated by the Democrats of the 1960s-1970s on...

We wouldn't be able to do anything because PeTA would be jerks as always and try to "protect" the Pokemon from being owned/trained by humans. As for the serious animal welfare and environmental groups: they would move to protect the Pokemon from being exploited. At the very least, Pokemon...

I'd like it if *all* drugs were legalized. However, when there's a major US city that wants to ban *soft drinks* above 16 oz. and pressures new mothers into breastfeeding (both for society's "own good"), then I hold little hope for the Drug Wars to end in the US.

Here's my spread: Economic Left/Right: 2.12 Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -3.08 I'm slighty right of center in Lavender Libertarian land--thus I was right to sit out the election yesterday (both Obama and Romney are in the Blue Corner, and thus are my ideological foes). I'm...

Unless I'm visiting my brother's apartment (carpet), it's shoes/slippers/socks on or not until I go to bed. (I live in the US.) Where I live, there's an outdoor mat to wipe your feet off, and two indoor mats to wipe your feet off in the foyer: the shoes' soles will be clean before we enter the...

I think if anyone was offended by the trailer, it's because they (the assassins) *looked like* oversexualized *nuns*; had this trailer been shown out of context, a frag-ton of people would be offended. Nuns and sex DO NOT MIX. CAPTCHA of the day: "upper crust".

I remember when I was in high school and I did a (poorly sampled) survey of which was better at the time: Batman: TAS or X-Men (90s). X-Men won on the survey. Batman: TAS aged better than X-Men (90s) as I became an adult. It helped that Batman: TAS was on Toonami. :D As far as...

@ ChickNaney: "They" are referring to several bits of biblical scripture, notably Leviticus 18. "They" believe that God considers homosexuality "an abomination" and fear that God will smite the United States if "they" don't speak out against said homosexuality and act to "stem the tide" of...

I'd live in the Mario universe as a human. Maybe keep Luigi company while Mario saves the galaxy or something. Of all the Nintendo 'verses, Mario's is the least dangerous. Outside of a Bowser invasion or the occasional evil RPG plot, life in the Mushroom World is pretty peaceful. Food is...

I say SNES, then Wii. The Wii: can play all of Nintendo's past backlog...and even games from Sega's backlog. Add in games from the Turbo Grafx 16 library (like Ys: Books 1 & 2), and you have ultimate backwards compatibility. Because of the Wii, I discovered the joy of Shining Force without...

QFT, man. I want off this planet--and if possible, out of this solar system--before the world ends. I really don't want the world to end at all. :)

That's Pascal, not Descartes. I'm not sure of the reason for most Christians (because for most of the western world, Christianity is the main religion the Internet has opted to scorn), but for black Americans at least, Christianity--or what we call "the Church"--is more than simple comfort...

Humankind will be out of this solar system before Earth ends. I want human civilization to continue, warts and all.
