We should criminalize masturbation as well

> The idea that you want government to control their lunches terrifies me.

If you don't like what's sold to children in school lunchrooms, elect a better schoolboard. Nobody is stopping you. We don't have a problem with school lunches. You can give your kids whatever lunches you want them to have. You can get what's available for purchase at schools changed on a local level. There is no school lunch problem. There is absolutely no justification for saddling our children with more debt in order to finance this garbage.

That you don't take issue with government power extending all the way down to children's lunchrooms horrifies me. Not only are you alright with the waste of money and loss of freedom, but you take no issue with government saying "You're an idiot. We have to do this for you."


You're right, I have zero problem with the government stepping in and telling parents they're idiots and they have to do this for us. 

I wish parents were smart enough to know how to take care of their own children, but the overwhelming amount of obese kids has become disgusting.  Apparently you're a good father and know how to properly nourish your children, which is commendable.  Too many parents aren't.  I never once said this is the best solution, but to say that nothing needs to change is wrong.

It involves government not having anything to [clucking] do with feeding my children.

The problem with shitty parents is shitty parents. You don't solve it by spending hundreds of billions on food police and forcing them on Americans. Those same parents will still encourage physically and psychologically unhealthy lifestyles and habits. Nanny-state style programs like Das Fuhrer's food police just contribute to the physical and psychological harm these children suffer by placing them in a nation where one is eternally treated like a baby throughout their adult life.

BTW, Michelle Obama doesn't care if your foods are GMO and covered in pesticides. Pay the man.



The idea that you have children terrifies me.

I will spend the rest of my life disagreeing with anyone that bases their opinion of specific subjects on a list that can be typed out like the one above, and then spends their time preaching why their opinion is better than that of others. 

Flint is conservative because the conservative directly benefit him.  Timmyville has a basic point, but is a little off base.  Rural areas are often times conservative (good luck finding a farmer that is liberal), but the Flint's idea that the conservative values are better for everyone makes no sense.  People talk about the whole, but their chief concern will always be the self.  If a woman has been a conservative christian her whole life, but gets unexpectedly pregnant, abortion suddenly seems like it is not such a bad thing (know a few women that have been through this process).

There is no set of values that is right for everybody, and there never will be.

Another is the return of the VIP galaxy, but we are also concerned with the numbers of players within that. What we've discussed is opening a VIP only galaxy, with a VIP governing council that votes on setup for each round. Say, 5 or 10 spots that change every round so reach VIPs voice is heard.


That's what I said x(

/me points to my thread on VIPs

I disagree with giving this to normal players.

This is the kind of issue where there's really no strict right or wrong argument.  While in many cases parents are fully capable of providing their children with proper nutrition, there are many cases where parents are completely irresponsible when it comes their child's food intake.  I worked in a restaurant for years, and there were families that would come in and allow their young child (the youngest was 5) to eat 2 full sized adult entrees.  Have you ever heard of a healthy adult eating a full rack of ribs, big ass bowl of macaroni and cheese, loaded fries, and decide they wanted to get a 16 oz. steak with 2 more sides...and then eat all of it?

Sometimes I think parents have a goal of finding the quickest way to give their child diabetes.

> I know everybody says oven is better... but really it's all about the microwaved pizzarito.  Let me explain:

You buy one of those cheap cheap cheap frozen pizzas, the little personal sized ones, and you throw it in the microwave for 2 or 3 mins.  The crust won't be crunchy, but that's not what you want.  You want that cheap microwaved chewiness, because you're not going to cut this thing up.  Oh no, you're going to grab it at one end and slowly roll it into itself until you get a nice thick burrito-like yet pizza-like snack.  If you do it right not only will you get that gooey cheesy pizza goodness but you'll also get little explosions of the pizza sauce with each bite.

It's the best.

The phenomena that is frozen pizza is one that may never be fully understood. You stick it in the oven, and cook it for the proper time. Upon removal, the sauce is at a temperature roughly at "molten lava" hot. If you wait around 5-10 minutes it moves from the completely inedible molten lava hot, to the chancy "holy crap this is hot, but if i chew really carefully it might be ok", the stage in which it in fact is never ok. This is the danger zone, that always ends with you completely removing a layer of skin from the roof of your mouth, and burns your taste buds so that you are unable to taste anything else for a week.
The true mystery lies in the stage directly after the maybe its ok stage, in which case...it miraculously goes to unappetizing room temperature. Frozen pizza leaves you with 2 unattractive options, 1. burn the crap out of your mouth. or 2. eat room temperature pizza.

Sure they'll be oppressed by dictators and the Russians and Chinese. They don't deserve freedom until their cultures advance enough to fight for it, nor can anyone push it upon them before then.


Indeed!
