http://www.singularity2050.com/2010/01/the-misandry-bubble.html Basically, this article can be summed up in 3 or so points: - Men have a right to female companionship (or just pussy) - women need to get in the kitchen and make sammiches - women are sluts who need to be reined in by society -...

This chart plots the Human Development Index with the Economic Freedom Index. While I think both measures are somewhat flawed, I think it shows the effect of free markets on the development of society. also, a few fun facts: Canada, New Zealand, Australia and Ireland have higher HDIs than the...

Gamageroge [Overview] Despite great typing, has mediocre stats, especially defensively, which inhibit it from playing a Swampert-like role. Also lacking in solid support options such as Stealth Rock or Recover. However, it has access to Swift Swim, and the Water/Ground defensive typing...

After 9 years, most people have no fucking clue WHY those Arabs flew planes into our buildings - hint: it's not that they "hate our freedom", it's that they hate that we're taking a shit in their lawns. Our "guardians of freedom" (read: we can go anywhere we want, take your shit, rape your...

So, let's look at policy, because that is as always the real meat of any catastrophic event. The BP oil spill highlights several major deficiencies in corporate policy, environmental policy, and incentives that are inconsistent with both free market theory and common sense. Therefore, let's make...

Keep in mind that GW Bush had Republican majorities 6 of 8 years. Reagan had a Republican Senate. Notice that Clinton was a bigger regulator in term 2 (with a Republican House and Senate) than in term 1. This is another fun graph: And all that "deregulation" sure helped, didn't it? Or...

Frilly Dresses, Silly Hats (version 1.0) "Hats and Frills, Oh My!" This team is an offensively oriented team, making use of the new weapons implemented on Shoddy, as well as some old standards, to put constant pressure on the opponent's defenses, while neutralizing their offenses through...

As I and Misty thought it would be way better to keep the Election thread on well...the actual election, let's use this thread to discuss and defend our various political/economic/social viewpoints, whether it be left, right, libertarian, green, Austrian, Keynesian, socialist, anarchist, etc...

In a lot of my team rates, I talk about synergy. I just gave you a "dictionary" definition, but what does it mean in regards to Pokemon? Let's take the team I use now - Deoxys-E, Yanmega, Heatran, Celebi, Garchomp, Lucario. What is my strategy? Similar to a lot of people today, it's set up...

This is a battle that happened on July 17, 2008, between me, and EeveeTrainer (wiiville). I was using one of my best teams, while Ian Garvey had assembled one of his legendary "Ash" teams (btw ash would be pretty awesome if he ever evolved his pokemon) Ancien Regime: EeveeTrainer...

We're talking about stuff like unbanning evasion and OHKOs, rebanning hitherto OU pokemon, unbanning hitherto Uber pokemon, but I don't think this topic has gotten quite enough attention - what kind of metagame would be the best possible? Do we have a "philosophy" behind the Standard Metagame...

At a Glance: Uber Stall The goal of this team is that of any stall team - use bulky defensive stats and entry hazards to wear down the opponent, providng the opportunity for a clean-up. Some of the pokemon are "standard" on uber stall teams, some of them are pokemon that are not seen much at...

The goal of this team is simple - dent stuff until I can set up a sweep with DDMence. Suprisingly bulky despite it being offensively-oriented. Celebi @ Leftovers ** TakamachiNanoha Trait: Natural Cure EVs: 252 HP / 108 Def / 148 Spd Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk) - Baton Pass - Leech Seed - Recover...

Basically, what do you think of it? Is it a "big deal" to you (whether you're Catholic or not)? I know a few Catholics personally, and while one says its a big deal, the others don't think it's that big of a deal (not really connected emotionally to the Vatican per se, have differing beliefs on...

In this RMT, you will see a lot of stuff that people think should be banned. Wobbuffet (M) @ Leftovers Ability: Shadow Tag EVs: 68 Def/190 Spd/252 SDef Careful nature (+SDef, -SAtk) - Counter - Mirror Coat - Encore - Tickle --- best pokemon in the game imo Forretress (M) @ Leftovers...

Striving for Balance Excuse the awful/incomplete title (It was supposed to be "An Attempt At Quality), I got into posting the team + explanations and hit "Post Reply" without changing the title. Hippowdon (M) @ Leftovers Ability: Sand Stream EVs: 252 HP/88 Def/170 SDef Impish nature (+Def...

Does anyone have this? I have this "disorder" (I don't consider it a disorder so much as I consider it being different from most people (which is not a disorder...is it?) Anyway, it does cause problems socially and stuff, but I don't mind, since most "normal" people are honestly boring and...
