I’m here to defend the Festiva. Great car.

Well considering that the only way to further the adoption rate is to have everyone adopt the better technology and take steps forward, I’d say it’s a fairly reasonable gripe to have.

collision course of pain, misery, and death that most of them would likely have otherwise avoided

Let’s not forget Charles’ treatment of David’s mother in the comic. He was a doctor who was treating a patient for PTSD and took advantage of her. This would get him stripped of his license in real life.

thats a spot-on assessment. So much has changed over the years, from the culture, to the comics, and how both affected each other..

To be fair, he’s an old man losing his mind. He at least has an excuse. What’s Logan’s? After all, no one would be able to find them to begin with if he, the killing machine with metal claws disposes of the cyborg assassin rather than asking Caliban, whose powers are wholly non-aggressive to do it while Logan takes…

The Xavier I grew up with - the comics, not the show, the films, etc. - of the late 70s-mid-80s (before I discovered Sandman and underground comics) saved these kids from certain death at the hands of their parents/the state/militias/gangs of anti-mutant haters/other groups (The Brotherhood of Evil Mutants, the…

The comics do a much better job of showing the questionable decisions Xavier made over the years (like when the danger room became sentient and he just forced it to serve or forcing his way back to run the team when he was no longer qualified). Critiquing the movie & TV version feels a lot like Monday Morning…

Please explain exactly how lying dead in a funeral home is ‘acting like a criminal’? Or did you mean the deceased was acting like a criminal when he was killed by police under pretty questionable circumstances so his family should should expect the police to barge in and do whatever they wanted to the body of the…

Found the Nazi!

It’s a bit odd to abbreviate a word and then immediately add a superfluous letter to the end, no? MATHemathicS. At this point I feel like it’s just adhered to purely for tradition and not out of any genuine rule to English.

Or, we speak two different forms of English and your arrogant assertions make you look like a GIANT knob...

Aha, I see the problem. You just want to feel smarter than other people.

In general I would agree and I actually think that’s an interesting conversation to have (as I think both extremes are bad), but I would also argue that *even from a prescriptivist standpoint* they’re wrong— at the most basic level they’re ignoring American vs. British English, but they’re not able to actually justify…

This conversation is a good example of descriptivism vs prescriptivism

Your poor grasp of English grammar and sentence structure abounds in every example... but thank you for proving the points I made wit a live example.

Dude, it sounds like you’re the one that’s butt-hurt...

Remember people, don’t feed the trolls.

> The word that is being abbreviated is “Mathematics”

you don't even know him personally except he talks shit to other fighters seems like you're a judgmental prick
