VanillaChip 71 December 22, 2014 Share December 22, 2014 By "I'm not gonna take it sitting down.", I mean "I'm gonna argue against it relentlessly without getting violent." I don't know if the fault is on you for deploying a straw man, or if it's on me for misusing the saying (Did I misuse it?), but now you get my point.

Jeric 46,851 December 22, 2014 Share December 22, 2014 I'm a huge fan of both series', but I prefer The Legend of Korra to The Last Airbender. Blasphemy! Actually I haven't seen Korra yet, it's on my to do list as I hear it is praiseworthy. A few pages back I posted something about playing nice in this thread. Yeah. That didn't have an expiration date. Debate and discussion on another's unpopular opinion is acceptable, but when it exceeds several pages of back and forth, that should be a sign to take the debate to a topic specific to the item you are discussing.

The Cynical Lone Wolf 615 December 22, 2014 Share December 22, 2014 This opinion could transcend unpopular and be flat out controversial, but I'm going to say it. The Michael Brown thing got really out of hand. It was ridiculous. It's not like the kid was exactly a model citizen. I think if he would have complied with the officer, this could have been avoided. And everybody acting like a bunch of animals wouldn't have solved things either. "Yeah let's destroy the homes and businesses of anyone and everyone who wasn't involved with this! That'll show those cops!" That was what I thought was most tragic. People losing their livelihoods over one defiant, arrogant hoodlum. Do I think he should have been shot? I don't know. I don't know what happened so I can't render my opinion on this. Or, well, I could, but I don't want to without having evidence to prove what did or did not happen. Do I think this could have been avoided? One hundred forty percent, yes. Even if the cop was a racist and just wanted to shoot the kid for no reason, there was a better way to handle the situation than rioting. Acting like a bunch of animals makes you no better than the cop who shot and killed the kid. Actually, it makes you worse. Looting and destroying the businesses of people who had nothing to do with it is barbaric. I think the reason most people were rioting was because they had a reason to loot and pillage. The people who actually gave half a shit were peacefully protesting. I think racism is wrong. I think abuse of power is toxic. But you know what, Ferguson? How about there not be any cops in your town? If they're so bad and racist, then let's just take them all away and see how much better it would be. I think it's these kids who believe they're hot stuff and they're above the law. And it's the parents' faults for not teaching them about a little thing called respect. It goes a long way, whether you're black, white, Vietnamese, Czech, Russian, Mexican, Canadian, Arapaho, Brazilian, German, Ethiopian, British, Chinese, Australian, French, Libyan, Seminole, Egyptian, Saudi Arabian, Israeli, Japanese, or whatever you are. Treat someone with respect and odds are they'll treat you the same. You teach a kid to respect law and the officers who enforce it, and he will only get into trouble once in a blue moon. That's my two cents on that. This is exactly why I dont care about it. Im not racist or anything, but agian I thnik both sides are acting waaaaaay over the top. Agian I think it better if I dont care about what going on in the eastern part of the US Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Washougal_Otaku 1,020 December 22, 2014 Share December 22, 2014 You know those Kidz Bop CDs, where children "sing" popular pop songs? I hate those! Not only is my hatred based off of the fact that those kids shouldn't be near a microphone, nor is it just on my hatred for almost every song that they mimic, but it's just wrong how they have children singing songs about sex and having sexy figures. 10 :comeatus: Gimme some time to come up with something new, okay?

ghostfacekiller39 23,860 December 23, 2014 Share December 23, 2014 100% wrong for blacks, and 75% wrong for atheists and gays It pains me to say this, but that is not the case at all, as a Southerner myself. Town over from mine called Greenville used to have a very racist sign up proclaiming it had "the blackest land with the whitest people," and if I recall, it wasn't taken down until the '90s, but it was far after the Civil Rights movement in the 1960s. Even then, I still hear family members and friends use the N-word nearly every day, and it's been moreso than normal because of the riots in Ferguson. Then we have these things called conversion camps, which exist for the sole reason to convert homosexuals into heterosexuals. I have heard about what they do in there, but I'd rather not reiterate on this site out of fear of getting a warning. Lastly, I remember that the county seat in my relatively small county, Bonham, put up a nativity scene in front of the courthouse for Christmas a few years back. It offended a Jewish Family, and a few local athiests were unhappy because of separation of church and state and this was a state courthouse. Didn't want religion to play any sort of role in politics whatsoever, which I feel is understandable because this isn't a theocracy and we have the right to worship as we please. They succeeded in getting the nativity scene taken down, but a couple of houses were burglarized and vandalized afterwards and they belonged to those involved in the nativity scene being taken down. One last thing - as an athiest myself, I remember when people at my school uncovered that I was athiest. I remember people would stare at me as I walked down the hall and I could hear them whispered. I ended up eating lunch in the bathroom for 2 weeks because I was afraid of being harassed for it. I hate to say it, but I'm under the impression his picture is pretty spot on. 1 He who is Positively Obsessed With All Things Rarity!!! Check out the Rarity Fan Club!

~Silver Essence~ 2,625 December 23, 2014 Share December 23, 2014 So Nintendo approved a game on the e shop called Meme Run.... yeah, no comment While I do appreciate the approval of the relationship in the legend of korra, to no offense, I'm still not hooked or interested in the show after a year Christmas IS the happiest time of the year, just focus and work towards what needs to make it a happy month, don't let the depression get to you I personally believe that most should go for the job industry after high school before college, to not only familiarize yourself for future occasions, but to take a break from learning, as college will feel underwhelming very quickly, as with work you gain personal experience and payment The goats craving for minerals meme got tiring, *snap*, just like that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

duidamasterXD 9,627 December 24, 2014 Share December 24, 2014 Mako is the second best character in Legend of Korra, and while I'm very proud of the staff for going the direction they did with the last scenes in the finale, it bothers me that for many fans, he's being remembered as the guy who didn't get the girl(s) instead of as the guy who really grew up over the course of the series. When we first met Mako, he was a prickly and insensitive jerk who was rightfully bashed for his behavior. However, between his work with the police, his encouragement and always adorable (in a Makoish sense) love shown to his brother, and his learning the value of self-sacrifice from Korra herself, his development was fairly impressive. Wish it was recognized more. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
