the forums isnt a place to dispute moderation...

[Correct!]

Cosplay itself isnt gay if you do it to socialize with friends. Cosplay is gay if you do it because you wanna dress up like some anime guy and socializing is an afterthought.

i myself have never cosplayed, but me and 2 friends, after getting wasted, did wander around the south side of chicago wearing pirate hats.

well, those are the types of questions you should be asking, not "How were the points awarded?"

this is your reminder Zarf. make a new thread about this. also make a thread about the thing you were going to make a thread about like 2 days ago.

The past 100 years have had some pretty rough times in certain parts of the world.

Granted, the past 100 years have kind of sucked.

But you've all picked THE WORST moment to use as a scale.

If I had to pick SOME year as a comparing point, it would be something in the 1950's, because there was relative peacetime.  But, essentially, this only shows that your "compare now to earlier" system is bad, because any particular date will have external events that mess with your comparison.

the past 100 years have far from sucked. the past 100 years have been the greatest in human history. no other century did we make such huge strides forward.

interesting read http://www.howobamagotelected.com/

512 Obama Voters 11/13/08-11/15/08 MOE +/- 4.4 points

97.1% High School Graduate or higher, 55% College Graduates

Results to 12 simple Multiple Choice Questions

57.4% could NOT correctly say which party controls congress (50/50 shot just by guessing)

71.8% could NOT correctly say Joe Biden quit a previous campaign because of plagiarism (25% chance by guessing)

82.6% could NOT correctly say that Barack Obama won his first election by getting opponents kicked off the ballot (25% chance by guessing)

88.4% could NOT correctly say that Obama said his policies would likely bankrupt the coal industry and make energy rates skyrocket (25% chance by guessing)

56.1% could NOT correctly say Obama started his political career at the home of two former members of the Weather Underground (25% chance by guessing).

And yet.....

Only 13.7% failed to identify Sarah Palin as the person on which their party spent $150,000 in clothes

Only 6.2% failed to identify Palin as the one with a pregnant teenage daughter

And 86.9 % thought that Palin said that she could see Russia from her "house," even though that was Tina Fey who said that!!

Only 2.4% got at least 11 correct.

Only .5% got all of them correct. (And we "gave" one answer that was technically not Palin, but actually Tina Fey)

more influence over the world then the US did in 1944?
