...is shit, and the sooner all young males realise this, the faster they will grow up and get girlfriends. Ok, so I know it's popular, but really this kinda of naive suicide and self sacrifice fantasy deserves nothing more than contempt. If you had any concept of science fiction (or for that matter, EITHER science OR fiction) you'd know better than to give this slick crap any respect.

Also, Sega is better than Nintendo, conservatives are selfish idiots, and the use of 'gay' as an insult is puerile.

Donnie didn't mean to sacrifice himself, Nintendo is *way* better than Sega, if you don't look out for yourself then who will, and you're gay.

And your mom's gay too.

I have so never heard of this movie, even remotely. When did this come out? Recently? I'm really sheltered. Seems vaguely interesting.

Also, I have a Saturn. Next generation gaming is crap, but Nintendo is still cool anyway.

Finally, I can't really make a final judgement on the conservatives or liberals because I hardly know any of them, and as Loretian's been trying to tell me, what the media is showing me might as well be half-truths and/or thus lies.

Finally, what provoked this post of unusual movies I've never heard of, video game companies, political leanies, and cultural quirks?

I think we should all step back and let Grue and Zip bitch at each other. From the preliminaries, it looks like that would be much more interesting than another big battle royale thread.

That's all very true, apart from the bit about conservatives, you filthy leftist scum.

I have a hard time making a call on Sega vs Nintendo. They're both among the best developers in the business.

Donnie Darko has nothing to do with self sacrifice. He is the unwitting hero.

Anyway, movies like this you're not really supposed to take morals from. Youre supposed to just enjoy them. I found Donnie Darko to be way more entertaining than other 'mindfuck' movies like Pi, American Beauty, and other gay shit like Momento and blah blah

Sega and Nintendo are both way cooler than Sony or MS.

Calling people gay is comfy and easy to wear!

I refuse to be drawn into political debates becaues it might induce suicide on my behalf. However the corollaryof conservatives being selfish idiots is that liberals are also selfish idiots. Conservatives are all "I want to keep my money its mine you have no claim to it" and liberals are all "I want your money its mine and my claim to it is the greater good". Conservatives want individual liberties to trump the convenience of the masses, and liberals want the convenience of the masses to trump individual liberties. And when I say 'convenience' trumping 'liberties' I mean precisely those words. But both want whatever they want for selfish reasons. Thats sort of a common thing with humanity.

...Liberals... want to... dispense... with liberties...?

Patriot Act?

P.S.

Let's say individual business liberties, I think. Liberals are more for social liber..ty. I think. Too many libs.

Donnie Darko was awesome. Look, I can sit on a high horse all day and be pretentious about everything, or I can enjoy life.

Secondly, conservatives are selfish geniuses.

Thirdly, liberals are usually pro-choice, and they call it "civil rights." That's idiotic. When a so-called right involves the removal of the abolute most basic right of another human being, it's not a civil right, and it's certainly not "progressive."

Take a look at all the *real* civil rights movements and look who was behind them. Who freed the slaves? Who voted to give women the right to vote? Who voted for the civil rights act of 1964? Oh, that's right, the republicans.

Yeah, I hate to break it to all you lefties, but your good buddies the democrats were all against those movements. They justified their stance similarly to how they justify abortion, claiming that making slavery illegal was bad becasue it took away the rights of a slave-owner, etc tc.

20 years from now when abortion is completely illegal, homosexual marriage still an oxymoron, and AIDS and cancer hopefully solved, the liberals will look back and be aghast that anyone could support something as barbaric as abortion, and then do the same thing with whatever the majorly dividing issue of the time is in that age. And I'll still be posting messages like this on verge-rpg.com.

And now Michael Moore is the hero of the left. Oh, how far you haven't come, liberals. I wonder what new name you'll invent to make yourselfs feel better when progressive goes out of style? Maybe "the more gooder persons?"

I would much rather fight with Zip than ever again read a serious political attack thread here with ad hominems flying like conjunctive participles.

Oh, democrats like to kill babies, but republicans like to eat them. That's why I'm a libertarian... we just sell the babies into bondage and let the new owners of the baby decide what to do with them, be it maim, slaughter, or bake.

Furthermore you are gay, sir, and your entire political affiliation likes to eat runny feces.


Also, remember kids, when attacking your gay friends, you have to call them 'straight' or 'hetero' in the same childish tones. Also, any bisexuals you know should be called... uh... celebate.

But you cannot make fun of your pedophile friends. It's not nice to insult a man of the cloth.

Too bad, 'cause I'm not gonna stop and you can keep posting messages like this and I'll keep responding.

And I don't know what ad hominems means.

Patriot act was bipartisanly passed.

Also, those are republicans. they aren't really conservatives.

Puerile is a gay way of saying juvenile.

This is all due to me mentioning Donnie Darko on MSN, isn't it?

So:

1. Conservatives might not be brilliant people, but anything that pisses off the Labour party is a friend of mine.
2. Nintendo are supremely brilliant. While Sega are also very good I've always felt they plaed second fiddle to the big N's genius. Besides, who's still making consoles?
3. Donnie Darko WAS a good film. Just because there are no samurai-sword-swinging antics does not make it bad. Pi, on the other hand is bloody awful and has the worst musical score I have ever heard.

I have a sound conceptualisation of Science Fiction: I've aspired to write it since the age of four. Sci-fi is by far the finest, most potential-filled genre in modern times. Besides, DD doesn't use sci-fi as it's main focus: it's running in the background but the focus here is squarely aimed at PEOPLE.

Surely it's a type of advert designed to appeal to homosexual Egyptian robots. No? Ok then..

Don't bother pretending that you're not going to vote Conservative at the next election, because you have admitted as much on this very forum. I hope you have not changed your mind and are going to throw away your vote and your soul and your right to life with the Liberal Democrats? Honestly, if the Lib Dems ever get into power I'll complete the job that Guy Fawkes couldn't.
Ok, that's enough politicalness from me for this week.

2. Nintendo are supremely brilliant. While Sega are also very good I've always felt they plaed second fiddle to the big N's genius. Besides, who's still making consoles?
Nintendo are still making consoles? :o
