When did this thread get dumber than a newgrounds thread on religion?
Stop being dumb everyone, especially ScottMcTony you gad dam.
Also OutFoxxed you're starting to come off like someone who makes a concentrated effort to fail to comprehend anything someone who disagrees with you is saying.

Cat Mario is easier to finish in that it's pretty much impossible to fail to finish, but that's like saying Devil May Cry 3 on Dante Must Die is easier to finish than Kirby.

I Wanna Be The Guy is still most certainly the best.

Well, historically speaking, it's always worked far far better than communism, 100% of the time.

I only found it slow at a few points near the beginning. Before long every cattle driving type mission is optional and I never found myself spending long enough getting between points A and B to grow bored with the setting.

OutFoxxed, I am not sure I could precisely say that you're actually making any logical fallacies, but think about it like this. If I think "I'm going to cut my legs off and collect on the insurance money!", then collecting the insurance was the "idea", but cutting my legs off is still an inherently necessary part of the real idea, and something that I have, the entire time, intended to do by design. It's not so much that myself and Kudistos are separating the idea from the execution, so much as it's you separating positive goals from the rest of the idea.

Also, while I shouldn't have to say this (as it is incredibly obvious from the context of my post, but this is the stupid internet), I am not trying to straw man communism with cutting off ones own legs for insurance money, and if you thought I was, get that out of your dumb head.

Btw giving 10 possible results after telling us to pick a number from 1-9 sort of ruins any chance of brief gullibility someone may have had sorry.

Well it was pretty close, and I guess it did the best it could've done without David Does Uganda: An Epic Quest of Eating da Poo Poo on the list.

I will say to OutFoxxed, who I admittedly only read one sentence of one post from, that I can criticize the ideal behind communism very reasonably and very concisely: I hate slavery, and I especially hate it when every single citizen is a slave to a small number of people, something that is absolutely necessary for communism. If human nature were such that it weren't necessary, communism would be redundant anyway because people would already be behaving the way communism hopes to get them to behave in an anarchistic society.
idea behind communism. in actual practice communism is disgusting. but the idea behind communism where everyone is equal and shares is not a bad one. just that communism is responsible for mass murder and many other things. per
Nono even a communistic (I do not think that is a word but ok Opera if your spell checker does not object) society that worked perfectly would still pretty much require an absolute slave state unless we're talking about a society that didn't actually have imposed communism but instead just had everyone choosing to share perfectly and that is not a political ideology or a social ideology that is just speculation about a hypothetical species that is obviously not human and also if it were human would probably be less efficient than real life capitalism anyway because of the lack of competition.
I guess you could say if nobody minded that would not be ideologically horrible anyway? But again, that just means we're not talking about humans or anything that could ever exist without going extinct before it reached a certain stage of civilization. Or if you're just saying the motivating force behind being pro-communism isn't disgusting then sure, the motivation for everything ever looks like a positive thing to the person doing it.
I am not sure if anyone living is capable of reading the last sentence I wrote but hopefully it is not quite that incomprehensible.

Ok jeff, consider this. Suppose I am the most rabidly opposed person to absolutely any drug use (I'm not), and that I had no principle problem with restrictions of freedom whatsoever (I do). But, even though this would make me an unlikely candidate, let's assume rabid drug hater me understands prohibition economics as well as real life me does. In this case, as far as my thoughts on what policy can exist would go, I would still have to be in favour of the legalization of everything sans cocaine, meth, and heroin, because this would bring us to a policy that would severely reduce the use of hard drugs (likely without increasing total drug use either, based on historical figures), and would be the single change in policy we could make that would most greatly reduce violent crime rates (based on historical statistical analysis this should theoretically reduce murder rates to less than half what they are now).
I'm not trying to straw man your viewpoints into a prohibitionists argument (though if you aren't in favour of drug policy reform, ah, as I believe the children say, pwned), that was just the way I found it easiest to essentially say that behavior doesn't always reflect policy, even in theory, and that any government action is bound to have consequences outside of what the action directly applies to.

PS: I was about legalization of all drugs for a long time, then noticed that countries following the model hypothetical rabid drug hater me proposed really did have next to no illegal drug use, and more importantly too little to sustain significant organized crime, and would now personally go in favour of that model. So ok, 99% social freedom, gEEZE.

PPS: I have a very strong desire to do DMT.

Every answer causing my red dot to not be having glorious freedom sex with the bottom line were ones that really had nothing to do with my feelings on policy and more on my suspicions about how the behavior of certain groups will trend, IE the one about first generation immigrants. Which I think I just hit disagree to instead of strongly disagree. Same for a lot of those types. Still, whatever.
AND NOW TO ACTUALLY SLEEP OR AT LEAST ATTEMPT V2.

I'm the closest! I'm horrible and stupid?
As the only person to be further to that side, yes, of course! Or at least to the best of my judgment you're of a demonstrably horrible and stupid opinion on one matter.
And we all know a persons worth can be estimated from a single event!

I could probably find something to argue with what Kudistos is saying that I would actually be interested in, like, going into in depth, or possibly I think he's brilliant, right now I'm too tired to even read his small wall of text and am going to bed.

I already know I'm like, 100% on social freedoms, and I only know that I think anarchy is inferior and communism entirely non-functional on the economic freedoms. Can't be bothered to take the test, so yeah, social ultra-hippie who openly admits he has almost no idea economically. If forced to describe myself in one word, at gunpoint, however, I'm more likely to say libertarian than socialist.
By the way I think everyone who's closer to authoritarian is some kind of horrible stupid person.

Right now I'd probably have to say Sam Harris, although Carl Sagan and Thunderf00t (I plan to one day find out his real name so that doesn't sound stupid to those completely unfamiliar) are up there.
It's implied we're talking about some kind of intellectual speaker and not just who we think is the smartest dude ever right?

My name is my name followed by the first verbal ejaculation I shouted randomly shouted out when I was coming up with it.

It had quite amazing action scenes. And the plot quite offended my fan brain. But it is taking up 10.4 gigs on my hard drive so I cannot insult it too much.

Pendulum! Immersion!

this was the best post in the history of the world

One movie falling into the category of MOVIES I ENJOY MORE THAN BOONDOCK SAINTS is definitely A Clockwork Orange. Oh and without a doubt The Human Centipede that sh*t was great.
I like Clockwork Orange (I have that on VHS - I really need to get with the times). But I don't know if I would put it ahead of the Saints. Very very different types of stories.
While I'm normally all about the apples and oranges thing, I place CO far enough ahead of Saints to have a great deal of confidence in the issue. And people with confidence are always right!
I swear I am not normally as self deprecatingly sarcastic as I seem to have been in 90% of my posts on this forum what does this place do to me?

Mine too - 100% for gameplay reasons.
This movie, extremely predictably, sucked.
