Thingy Person

Wha..? I witnessed this thread's birth maybe years ago, and it's still going?

Same here. I'm gay and I love using such words pejoratively because they're just so versatile and because it would be silly if someone called me a gayhater. If there were another word that could contain the same sentiments but could not potentially irk gays, I'd probably use it instead, but hammering on the offensiveness of the word "faggot" would actually be insulting yourself. I also agree with the other poster's notion that gay marriage isn't the only subject there is. Raising a child (though not something I desire to do in the near future) seems like a much greater right to me than admistratively being a couple and getting some financial benefits, and especially the extention of standing in a church and getting to hear "I now pronounce you man and man". Also, off-topic; English is not a "Terrible language". It's simple and concise, while you can't write a paragraph of Dutch without making some kind of spelling or punctuation error. Unless you learn several pages of rules and exceptions by heart. And vocabulary is only as rotten as people make it out to be. If diseases were people, The Netherlands would be the most offensive country ever. As for religion, my faith in its evolution towards acceptance died at about when that jehova-witnessing dipshit posted in the last homosexuality thread ages ago. Some people seem to have managed to combine the two (even muslims) by some obscure detour of logic, which I find pretty amazing. Where I live, things like "promoting homosexuality" and "making people gay" never EVER enter any discussion. Although there was never anything about it in school...

By complete and utter chance, Sakurai made a very deep game excellent for both casual and competitive play, and while every forum everywhere (regardless of the game in question) seems to think that "tourneyfags" generally deem themselves superior to casuals and want to enforce their own ruleset to everyone, the opposite is way more often true. As you can see. I was no competitive Smash player myself (I just preferred no items etc), and while Sakurai has the full right to do what he wants with his series, I say he's shot himself in the foot by shafting a small but very devoted* playerbase (by more than just the tripping, really). I don't understand why people genuinely like tripping, or critical hits in Team Fortress 2, but I'm fine with them as long as they can be turned off for those that like playing the game the way they want. As for being on-topic, no, I don't like being randomly screwed or blessed or stupidly interrupted by a factor I have in no way contributed to, seeing as I'm not so bent on winning that I'm willing to do it through such a mechanic. Remember, competitive players don't dislike tripping because they might lose. It's disliked because it might keep the best man from winning in an unneededly, controllable way (unlike wind in Golf). When losing repeatedly, a 'tourneyfag' will work on his skill. Not hope for a hammer next time. The occasional elitist prick does not have a competitive mindset. As for the argument of taking party games too seriously, well, there's no game quite like Smash. *If you hadn't noticed, Melee's metagame has been running strong throughout its seven years and showed no sign of stagnating. Heck, now people are making a hack for Brawl to optimise it for competitive play whilst preserving its well-received additions. No software developer kit or anything, just a third party hack tool bricked by each Wii update. Also, first post in how long? Half a year? xP

But but I like you Nightmarreerereee No wait! I'm the bailiff =D

I will be... IN THE AUDIENCE! dun-dun-dun-duuuuun

...hai guyz

Oh, Rhaan reminded me. I don't employ the gay lisp, wear vibrant colours or sway my hips. I only like having my legs against eachother when I sit.

Melee is better in that it is the most competitively supported of the three, and on the highest competitive level, the most balanced (everyone was usable aside from maybe Zelda and Pichu. In Brawl, the usability ends midway through the tier list). Brawl has a fail online and hasn't given me the type of challenge I've gotten from the other two games (particularly against human opponents, as it's usually either all too casual players or hardcores that use Brawl's chaingrabs and ATs that are more frustrating and insurmountable). It's also very unbalanced on a competitive level, and more than ever, this overlaps with casual play. My fav is the original, because I enjoyed it far more than the other two thanks to it having a good online network. Also, cheats. (Talking about emulators, obv)

...I don't even know what 'type' I'm supposed to have stereotypes of. White people? Like what? Belgians? Please. We're perpetually difficult to stereotype. ...and I'm in no subculture as far as I know.

I haven't been exposed to such quantities of idiocy as described in this topic. I blame proper education. Quite so. Stupidity only starts bothering me when stupid deeds are in danger of being performed. The know-it-all-ness and the unlikeable qualities of idiots fall under that idiot's personality, IMO. One can be intelligent but still be a snorty hubrisful teenage brat.

I'm still stuck playing JFA because Nightmarre told me to >_>

Going mathematical about something that is absolutely scientifically impossible? Consider the following. I has a grandpa. If I went back in time before he gave birth to my mother and killed him, would I still be there? I suppose not. But if I were never born, then I wouldn't have traveled back in time to kill my grandfather, meaning he should still be alive to give birth to my mother. Dividing by zero is so easy in time travel.

Black Knight is top tier. May I bring your attention to the fact that you're making an offensive generalisation? It's the same mistake Florina made. I am a self-daignosed bisexual. Before I argue about wether that's accurate, I'll say I'm completely and utterly fine with being either gay or straight ('picking a side' as some would say), thereby undermining your whole argument. And I don't even know where you got the idea that lesbians don't exist... Also, transgenders. I've learned about them in school. Genderdysphoria is a serious complex (as in, not just 'because guys act like girls'), and while transsexualism is gross to most people (including me), it's the best option they've got to feel good about themselves. I'd feel more comfortable around a transsexual than a person who acts like the opposite gender. Not saying either is wrong.

Er... All your names are different again

You carry the expression of an enlightened man. Do you now see what you have been missing out on in your life?

Thank you, Luxord, for destroying this thread's insurmountable cuteness >_> I don't want to hug it though. Just pick it up and pet it =3

I love scientology in its purest sense. It's just so amazing. Homosexuals are sexual perverts who must be placed in quarantine far from society as a way of curing, and to prevent further abuse of children. Scientologists, on the other hand...

Did you know "Okay" was first used as an abbrevation of "Oll Korrekt" in a really old English newspaper? And that the story DH told us about the origin of the middle finger is actually true? Also, did you know the Croissant's origin lies in Turkey? Some bakers there foiled an attack of some sorts once by raising the alarm. As a reward, they were allowed to make something shaped like the Turkish flag. The French just claimed the Croissant as their own along with French Fries and French Kisses.

What I quoted was not legal terminology, right? You lock a man up for life so you can have your precious revenge. 'Punishment' is a justifying disguise. As for my thoughts on the matter, I stand by the post that contained "tripping over their own feet".

...you vexatious, illiterate hobby-horse.

No. Punishment = Action to correct the subject and reform him/her into society Revenge = that This is why the DP is never a punishment.
