Oh, rubbish. If all we ever did was agree with one another and agree not to discuss things where it turns out we disagree, it'd be like a nightmare. False pleasantness? Fake harmony? Creepy.

People ought to be free to express their convictions as long as they are willing to substantiate their arguments and refrain from bigotry. If that expression entails fierce confrontation, then so be it.
For the first point, I'd say, "Totally!" XD

For the second, I think they can participate even without substantiating their argument. And if they follow them up with words like, "U MAD?" or "Problem?" or even "LOL U I TROLLZ", I think it makes us comfortable knowing that the moment we clicked the "Post" button we've already lost. 8) Problem?

@Kodokami: Hahaha! Don't tell me you didn't say that way when first seeing it!

....

Or was it just me and Sam? Bummer...

Actually, my first encounter with Lavos was at the Dead Sea, so my reaction was more of a dulled shock. I got a much scarier reaction from Chronopolis!


Something that I hate: losing track of time. Maybe a Chronopolis wouldn't be so bad...

Ah, so you played Chrono Cross first! Now that you think of it, having the story explained to you first at Chronopolis and then witnessing it happen in CT would have give you... a strange feeling. A mysteriously... strange... feeling...

I guess that's a good thing Masato Kato didn't keep too many recurring characters and kept most of the story unexplained.  :D If new players played Chrono Cross first, they'd be in for a surprise at the prequel!

Certainly a unique experience, having played Chrono Cross first. It was one of the first games we (my brothers and I) received for the PSX. At the time, however, none of us played past Viper Manor. We did not know Chrono Trigger existed; heck, we hardly knew what Final Fantasy was! A few years later though, I picked it back up and from then on played it almost religiously. I still remember the actual fear I felt from Chronopolis and the sympathy for the Dragon God and that final moment of success when the ending theme played...

But damn that info dump! "Who the hell are these kids anyway?!" :o

This pisses me off to no end -- the Earned Income Tax Credit being rolled back in some US States.

What really gets me riled up is this exact quip from a think tank spokesman:

...these transfer payments effectively rob very productive people and shift it to lower-income individuals...

I'll give him credit for careful wording, but the spirit of blatant class bigotry is still clear. What he really means to say is: These transfer payments effectively rob very productive people and shift it to people who are not as productive, and whose needs don't matter as much.

Thanks a ton for the kind 19th century Social Darwinist sentiment. All the people who are working at burger flipping joints to pay off college debt, and the former assistant managers with kids trying to make ends meet right beside them, don't even have time to complain about things like what this guy's proposing. Those low-income people are too busy being productive; what an irony.

Things like the Earned Income Tax Credit should become more widespread, not rolled back. This is one of the few things that appealed to the idealism of Republicans and Democrats alike, while having a solid economic rationale behind it. What the hell is this backward, hardline bullshit popping up all of a sudden?

Sweet Lassi tastes the sweetest when you've endured hardships in the heat. Goddammit! I curse myself for not working out today to enjoy Lassi at it's best!

What a piece of shit! Who in their right mind assumes when someone uses the word rape, they MUST mean FAKE rape!? I'm pissed FOR you, Saj. SHIT.

Gah, intense heat and partial insomnia. Kept waking up at nights and couldn't sleep soundly. I'm unable to think properly today, unable to differentiate between dreams and reality...

...Don't say, "OMG INCEPTION!!"

Less of a hate and more of a screaming in fear like a sissy girl and hiding in a closet.

Republicans, Democracy, Literature, Personal Prejudice, blah bleh bloop! Forget the petty strifes. We've got much horrible things to worry about.

Also, not sure how many people this symptom applies to, but if your leg aches for more than a day chances are you're about to be sick. Symptoms after leg aches (just above the ankle) at dizziness, lack of energy and dehydration. ...Yeah, I've gotten sick.
