Dude, do you even yugioh?! Like, most rares and stuff that people really want are like 4 or 5 dollars each. Meanwhile in yugioh, shit was like $30+. And you had to keep up with all the broken new stuff.

Every time I make myself use the assault rifle, because I got all the possible commendations for DMR and BR a long time ago.

oddish

by who? talk about crackpot theory mills... I'm half hoping Chrom recovers and is unlocked later on ingame. will we really know all the characters beforehand or will there be any secret unlockables at all? It still bothers me that sakurai didn't want to do cutscenes because people would put it on youtube. I want my beautifully rendered mini-movies, dammit.

dot.hack//sign inuyasha rurouni kenshin gundam wing SAO those are the ones that come to the top of my head.

The only time I can think of where I do that is in Destiny, but that's when I've got my ult ready and a bunch of them are clustered around a flag they're trying to capture. Btw, gonna finally play me some BF4 on PS4. Wish me good luck.

I don't know if you've been paying attention, but the vast attention of the media has been on the police reacting with tear gas and anger, with VERY little on the looters and violent protestors themselves. You have to read articles or listen very closely to find out that the protestors provoked a police response. You have it backwards. Hamas, from inside Palestine, have launched rockets into Israel. Thankfully, the Israeli anti-air and missile defense swats the vast majority from the sky. Israel has higher tech and uses it to make more precision strikes. Those still have casualties beyond what they really wish for (just like collateral casualties when US drone strikes into Pakistan killed other people). Because yeah, even though Israel has warned Palestinians to leave certain areas and stuff, Hamas threatens and coerce innocents in Palestine to stay where they are and become victims to Israels retaliatory attacks. Hamas plays dirty as fuck.

The Gaza situation is an absolute parallel to the US. The Israeli's receive hundreds of rocket strikes, and since they have to retaliate, they strike back at targets... and because the extremists in Palestine intentionally hide behind civilians, it makes the Israelis seem callous, when they are not. Pretty sure I already linked an article on this topic in here, in regards to Hamas using world media coverage to gain more support for themselves.

Yeah, gotta agree, the cops in Ferguson look HIGHLY undertrained and undisciplined.

... What is the G8 again?

multiply that officer by 53, and then multiply the 'protester' by 200+ Then add a molotov cocktail in the hands of... oh, say 5% of the protesters and draw a few more around the corner, looting businesses. How you frame it.

'rebels' aka russian troops in disguise are being armed and supported by Russia in Ukraine and are causing problems in Ukraine, who wishes to be independent from Russia. Russia moved artillery pieces into Ukraine and are firing into Ukraine from the Ukranian border. The response by the US, if not the UN (i'm not sure, only been following just a bit), has been tough trade sanctions.

Feel free to offer something up. Like that Ukranian business. Which is kind of lame. inb4warwithrussia

so on FB, this seems to be a thing now.

I got your point, but maybe people should be more aware of how their activities and interests represent themselves. Go read all your links? How about you summarize them? You're concerned about prison workers being used as forced labor. They kinda used to do that already- chain gangs breaking rocks, picking up litter on the side of the road. And society provides them room, board, and medical while they're kept away from most of society. It's supposed to be a punishment, not a paid holiday. If you want, we can argue the programs have the potential do a lot of good, instead of you only seeing the potential for bad. The only people complaining about militarization are the ignorant ones. Tell that to the people of China, the people in former Soviet Republics, and the people in North Korea, I'm sure they'd love to hear this crock of shit. We're talking about the people here in America, OBVIOUSLY. And there's far more wrong in those places well beyond the fact that they're equipped. You honestly... cannot miss the point this bad. You're going out of your way to sounds as ignorant as possible at this point. If you can't see why making broad statements about a race of people over music is fucking wrong, then I can't help you. The point, which you missed, are the grains of truth in generalizations. Denying them denies the root of the existence and derivation of such things. You're deliberately blinding yourself if you think they mean absolutely nothing. Black/Hip-hop culture is the result of a reaction to external stimuli. It IS NOT the reason why Blacks are in the place they are, but the result of being put there. One can argue that some elements of it are influential in keeping them there too. As if there aren't self-destructive elements in any culture or society. Define the attitudes it promotes and how those attitudes are actually used to influence what types of actions. Ah, I suppose your ignorance to the subject is a valid excuse for making these broad generalization then. Oh wait. IT ISN'T. If you're not going to educate yourself on the subject, then don't go out of your way to make these sweeping generalizations. Let me put it to you simply- myself and a lot of people don't share the values and attitudes professed in a lot of those songs. Nevermind the actual musical aspect of it. Please educate me on how that would NOT make people be initially averse to people who sync with something that goes against their own values. Why would one want to learn more about something if they have no interest in doing so? I have no interest in listening to more, or trying to become an artist in those genres.

Fox news gets some facts straight. But then it interjects opinions like they are facts and that's where Fox goes down the toilet. or gets incredibly hilarious. depends on your point of view. Fox is only good for making me laugh, or making me angry. First perceptions generate expectations. Not everyone is willing to go beyond that initial judgement.

Clearly you must be satan incarnate because you have an alt that's called Lucifer. I absolutely relate to Satan/Lucifer, so that is why I chose it. If I was him incarnate/ the anti-christ, I would be surprised, but I would accept it. I am no devil worshiper, but I have looked it up and found the actual ideollogy to be more appealing and sensible than traditional judeo-catholicism. Did you think I was lackadaisical is my choice?! Prison Industrial Complex. That thing that is looked upon as making prisoners contribute something to society and earn their keep within a prison? I AM NOT KIDDING YOU WHEN I AND OTHER SOLDIERS HAVE LOOKED AT OUR OPTIONS AND FOUND PRISON TO BE THE KINDER OPTION THAN REMAINING AS US INFANTRY SOLDIERS (if it weren't for the whole dishonorable discharge thing). I was not fucking kidding when I said the were treated better than we are. The only think that makes it worse for prisoners are the organizations of prisoners themselves- aka, gangs. So they kinda do it to themselves. Treating your citizens like they're in a war zone is wrong on multiple levels. If you're cool with being treated like a threat to your nation, be my guest, but don't act like everyone should be. I don't always protest, but when I do, I stay within established legal lines. As such, I have never been considered a threat to the law enforcement agency that has set those lines for safety of all involved. Given the second amendment, the right to carry, the right to conceal, the fact that drug cartels and gangs acquire guns illegally... yeah, I'd consider myself under as much threatemed within some parts of the US and I would if I were deployed to a war zone. The citizens aren't in a warzone unless the citizens make it one. And even then, in a lot of the pictures, the police weren't wearing body armor. Just vests that help them carry more shit. Treat citizens like they're in a war zone? Bitch, they would be shot with real bullets if they decided they were going to ignore all warnings and the soldiers went through the proper escalation of force. People wear fucking suicide vests and drive cars carrying literal tons of explosives into compounds , so you fucking can't compare what the police are doing to treating people like it's a fucking warzone. It's a hazardous area, do no the cross the line. I said do the cross! Goddamn it- shoo's crowd away with 'tear' gas. Act like fucking citizens, not hooligans. There was no problem during the day... The only people complaining about militarization are the ignorant ones. For the last fucking time. Treating your citizens like they're in a war zone is wrong on multiple levels. If you're cool with being treated like a threat to your nation, be my guest, but don't act like everyone should be. Hi, I know better than to directly challenge the police as a part of a large, volatile crowd. Police are trained in crowd control because crowds get out of control. That isn't warzone mentality, that is crowd mentality as seen across the world. This is probably the time I'd be contacting a lawyer or lawmaker, not being angry as part of a large crowd aimed at a relative few people. Again: I guess that must mean that all white people are all about beer, breakups, and the backwoods. Clearly, that's the message they're sending to society... Oh wait, nobody takes that shit at face value, and Hip-hip/rap shouldn't be taken at face-value (Unless the artist states otherwise). I'm in the army and i've seen enough country boys to take the initial assumption more seriously. Cuz yeah, it's kinda true. Your point is moot here, even though I'd group them more as being obsessed with the great outdoors and how the losses in their lives (their dog, their girl, their house, their brother, etc, to hear some sing of it) have made them who they are. I can respect that much more than other musical examples. You're really gonna sit here and tell me what part of the culture I've not only lived, but studied means? Fuck outta here. oh, you lived the thug life? please do share. cuz obviously I have a great misconception of it thanks to all the rapping about it. This guy actually shares my misconceptions Cop defends himself from male who was resisting arrest and attacked him. Tell me what rights were violated. As it stands, that 'fact' has yet to be determined. Kid is dead for either robbery/assaulting an officer. Both offense that require a trial. Tell me where the violation of rights didn't occur. Rights forfeited when he attempted to wrest control of the gun away from the officer. I've said that before. He is not dead for robbery, but the robbery means it is more believable that he tried to used violence against the cop. Character reference, not outright defense, foo. If an officer is assaulted, he is allowed to defend himself. He has to prove later that he actually feared for his life enough to used his sidearm. I can see where the violation potentially occurred. Your fault is you ASSUME it occurred no mater what. If he did go for his sidearm, that's an automatic threat against the officer's life. Lethal force authorized. Let me spell it out again, "Lethal force authorized." You clearly have little-to-no knowledge on hip-hop and the artists within the genre. Therefore, you don't know what the rule or the exception is. Did I mention, I'm a white-washed mexican? Yeah, I kind of don't, but i can hear what gets to the radio and I'm not pleased. Just as I am not pleased with screamo/heavy metal.
