Was that "Aren't you reasonable" sarcastic? I can't tell sometimes. If it was, I think that's a little unfair.

Oh, I'm aware of it, I just hadn't made the mental connection yet. Thanks for pointing that out. I was thinking of it like a white former high school student.

Everyone here has made excellent points and changed my mind on the subject.

Probably from the unique blend of high-functioning autism, and intensely trained social skills based around manipulative language. Makes me quite cynical, but also quite gullible sometimes. The two feed into each other.

Probably because I remember how underhanded I was in high school, and have only gotten better at it since. Still, you guys have convinced me. Best to err on the side that doesn't screw over Native Americans for once.

Sorry, I'm not being particularly articulate today. I'm trying to say I respect sticking it to the school, schools deserve it. What bothers me is that I doubt his sincerity in doing it for cultural reasons, and if that's the case he should just be up front about it, because using his culture to get his way seems like…

Well, perhaps decoration is the wrong word. I mean, you could call my tattoos decoration, but each one is deep and meaningful to me. I'm sure a lot of students would put things on their cap that are meaningful to them too. I get your point though, decoration implies it's purely a fashion statement. It still seems like…

I would appreciate if someone could explain this to me.

This made me think of the "Prehistoric Animals" toys that apparently inspired half of Gary Gygax's early monsters. These three in particular resemble no creature that has ever walked the earth, yet were called "dinosaurs." They, respectively, became the Rust Monster, Bullette, and Owlbear.

Remind me never to post after I take my sleeping pills again. Yeesh.

Oh my god.

Wait, people thought that guy was white? I looked at that guy and saw "Asian with dyed hair." Couldn't identify his ethnicity, but that guy doesn't look Caucasian at all.

At first I thought you were advocating for genocide. Whew! Good thing I make sure to reread things before I post.

Exactly, which is why this premise is ridiculous. In fact, a far better case can and has been made that Western dominance was a direct outgrowth of the constant warfare in medieval Europe. Because European conflicts post-Rome were relatively small scale and local, they did not do significant damage to the population…

Vikings were, like many pagan cultures, surprisingly tolerant of homosexuality. Men had sex with men, and it wasn't a big deal. Now, the guy "receiving" would be subject to some derision, but "giving" was perfectly acceptable. The only issue was that because it was an agrarian society, reproduction was important, so…

I prefer not just curves, I outright like fat women. Yet, the girl I love, my late girlfriend Claire, was skinny as a rail. She ate like a horse, but due to a medical condition she could not gain weight. She hated it when people said they envied her, and was like "I'll remember that next time I'm doubled over with…

Aquaman is awesome, but he does suffer from a lack of respect, even in the comics. In fact, I'd say his closest alternate company equivalent is actually Hawkeye. Awesome character, no respect.

Good grief.

Or at least a proto-insect of some kind, originally. Parallax, like all the Spectrum Entities, was the first creature in the universe to feel its emotion. In this case, fear. Of course the first creature to feel fear was a bug.

I wouldn't call myself a "high-caliber stud," but I think I'm fairly good looking, if in a slightly feminine, and extremely nerdy way. And I've always liked fat girls. Big women have always been my preference, and I've dated a few. I've never felt stigmatized because of the exact opposite reason: I'm weird. Everyone…
