Why can't one view them as equal parts of nostalgia for childhood. To that end Mario is more classic being that it was founded more in classical/idealistic interpretation of Medieval European society, Sonic is the encapsulation of 90's rebellion against society at large of the time.

Political in-fighting would exist without the Ukraine issue. The Far right has just latched onto this because it is an easy target. If it wasn't this it would be some Government policy they don't like, this is political theater at the cost of the American people. As someone about to go without a...

You knew full well I was referring to the era post WW2. Second, That map is dubious at best, the irish issue was in essence two nations fighting a proxy conflict in contested territory. The idea of owning a weapon to fight off a modern western nation's government is idiotic at best, also of note...

That 1980 isn't 20 years ago...

So, before we go down this road I will quantify I fully agree that most states need to increase training requirements, that being said. All states have minimum academy standard to get your badge which ranges from 6-18 weeks depending on the state. (Note this is similar to basic entry of...

Property rights...sounds eerily familiar to the 1860 Confederacy.... The right of the public to own something goes away when the general welfare of the rest of the populace is so evidentently harmed by you owning such an item. The greater good of society as evidenced by the countless mass...

As I've been in law enforcement I would beg to differ, even the worst department's have some degree of firearm safety and use requirements. Anecdotes about isolated incidents aren't a valid counter argument to the fact that the Constitution by virtue of the 2nd Amendment doesn't actually give...

So I'd quote one of the several who posted after me however there are too many. The second amendment alone does not give you a right to own a gun without condition. The condition is specific to being in a militia. Various Supreme Court cases in the 1900s enshrined that right which goes against...

Government employees whether police or military should likewise be held to a higher standard as they have the training associated with use and must maintain proficiency with said weapon. The public at this point no longer has a valid reason in the confines of a well regulated militia to own a...

***Lurking ceased*** :wavey:

Why does one need a gun? It is a utopian idea but if all guns currently in circulation could be removed it would make nearly all arguments in favor of them die on the vine. Additionally, the activism of the far right's gun lobby is what has made gun rights a fundamental of that side of the...

As this suit now shows precedence I would imagine the next case that is pending against fox will further out the company for their lies and defamation. I can only hope that the next one goes to a full trial and exposes something so egregious that it forces the company into bankruptcy. They are...

The most recent string of shootings just further illustrate that a vast majority of persons don't need nor do they know how to properly utilize a firearm. Any argument about personal rights to own a firearm fails to understand the actual written word of the US Constitutional Amendment as well as...

I declare war on anyone not agreeing that strawberries are the superior fruit!

Sure the West should have come with stronger sanctions much earlier (ie post 2014) however they didn't. In the current environment, committing NATO forces to red lines now will lead to Russia testing those red lines which is not advisable given the current Kremlin regime. Not to mention that...

I think this quote pretty well covers the last two page so I'll respond to it. Any direct weapons exchange by US/NATO and Russia forces will climb the escalation ladder far higher than either side is willing. The only scenario I could potentially see is Russia using a nuke as Western leaders...

I appear every year or two... To much work not enough free time.

Direct intervention by any NATO power would lead to a world war. If Russia had no nuclear weapons sure it would be the humane thing to do however as they do, it would simply lead to a war of utter destruction across the entire world. We are intervening as far as is possible with the immense...

As much as the current election cycle has shown that if Mr. Trump were to actually get the RNC nomination he would be crushed in the general election against literally any Democrat I would really hope he doesn't even get that much of a chance. I would like to see the Republican party regain some...

Constant deflection seems to be the name of the game in this thread...but but but what about the Americans doing bad things in wars past... A. We prosecuted a great many of individuals for their actions. B. Actions by individuals weren't state sponsored as they are with Russia. As someone who...
