Deathmatch topics need loving too in General
Slarty Raven v. Writing Desk Member # 261	written Thursday, April 27 2006 07:26 Profile Homepage #9 RESULTS 1. Barzahl vs. Garzahd: Both have an megalomanaical obsession with magical self-augmentation. Barzahl's makes him go insane. Garzahd's doesn't. Advantage, Garzahd. 2. Stimpy vs. Kefka: This one's actually pretty close. Stimpy has the same brand of one-step-removed-from-reality antics as Kefka, although his are (usually) less destructive. So Stimpy is exactly the kind of person who Kefka tolerates, laughs at, and acts all grandiose towards -- giving them the perfect opportunity for a pre-emptive strike (cf. Celes on the Floating Island). The resulting clash between "Happy Happy Joy Joy Happy Happy Joy Joy" and "I hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate..." is likely to obliterate most of the known world. But Stimpy and Kefka are both exceptionally bad at dying, even when they have taken mortal damage over and over again. This would be a stalemate, but Stimpy is likely to get bored and go do something else. Kefka's a tad more obsessive, so he wins by default. 3. George W. Bush vs. George Jefferson: Nucular bombs or no nucular bombs, George W. Bush is not very well coordinated, whereas George Jefferson is downright hyperactive. Jefferson would also confuse Bush by calling him various racial slurs that he has to look up in a dictionary. Too bad the Secret Service will gun him down after the first crack(er). Bush wins. 4. Guy Fawkes vs. Guy Montag: Montag has a flame-retardant suit. Fawkes has 1800 pounds of explosives. Goodbye, Montag. 5. The Wizard of Oz vs. the Wizard of Id: It has been pointed out that Oz was a king whereas Id served a king. It has also been pointed out that Id was a magician whereas Oz only pretended to be one. Unfortunately, both of these statements are not entirely true. Oz abdicated his throne, but he later returned to the land of Oz as a regular citizen, at which time he became an apprentice to the powerful Witch Glinda; they were the only two people in the country who were allowed to practice magic. The Wizard of Id, on the other hand, has a tendency to have his magic backfire on him. Oz is the clear winner. 6. Captain Planet vs. Rentar-Ihrno: Polluters never win! Captain Planet is immune to attacks by fire, water, earth, or air, and Rentar-Ihrno has a damn predictable attack pattern. Captain Planet also has the power of heart, which probably does something gimpy, and keeps Rentar's demons at bay. Unfortunately, he is easily weakened by toxic material, and he wouldn't do well against acid and poison. No doubt Linka would succeed in shutting down Rentar's machinery during their duel ("Curse you, Planeteers!") but Captain Planet isn't going to come out of this fight in one piece. The monkey cries, and Rentar-Ihrno moves on. 7. Professor X vs. X: Professor X, of course, can control X's mind, stop him from attacking, and make him take himself out. Unfortunately for him, that kind of psionic influence doesn't happen instantaneously. Kill spells are faster. Bon voyage, Professor. 8. Madonna vs. Cordelia: It seems I neglected to specify who was involved here. Madonna covers the singer as well as the mother of Christ, while Cordelia covers the child, the titillating adventurer, and the mother of Jasmine. Doing some quick algebraic cancellation, we can get rid of the two mothers of messiahs, as well as the overly visible nipples. For all practical purposes, Cordelia the adventurer ceases to exist without those nipples. So we are left with Madonna the singer minus her nipples against Cordelia the child -- the Sex Bomb against the Poo Bomb. Uh, Sex Bomb wins, hands down. Madonna advances. ROUND TWO 1. Rentar-Ihrno vs. Titless Madonna 2. The Wizard of Oz vs. Kefka 3. Garzahd vs. X 4. George W. Bush vs. Guy Fawkes -------------------- Slarty vs. Desk • Desk vs. Slarty • Timeline of Ermarian • G4 Strategy Central Posts: 3560 \| Registered: Wednesday, November 7 2001 08:00

Slarty Raven v. Writing Desk Member # 261	written Thursday, April 27 2006 06:26 Profile Homepage #33 Drew, you certainly do have the right to disagree with stuff you find offensive. I'm just saying that there is nothing even remotely productive about expressing that by attacking the other person. All it will do is make the people you are arguing with entrench themselves further in their absurd beliefs. I think what Boogyman may be trying to get at is actually exactly what you are saying, Kinky Slugs. The fact that one atrocity was committed should not make us blind to other atrocities. It would be absurd to ignore the Holocaust because of the atomic bomb the U.S. dropped. Similarly, it would be absurd to ignore the genocides the U.S. has participated in in the past 60 years because of the Holocaust. -------------------- Slarty vs. Desk • Desk vs. Slarty • Timeline of Ermarian • G4 Strategy Central Posts: 3560 \| Registered: Wednesday, November 7 2001 08:00

Yom HaShoa in General
Slarty Raven v. Writing Desk Member # 261	written Wednesday, April 26 2006 11:35 Profile Homepage #25 You know, the stuff I said about respecting other people applies to EVERYONE. The Holocaust skeptic in this thread, despite making an apology, has been threatened and called names: "if you try hard enough, this will be the last lesson you'll learn." "it is intensely stupid" "Anyone moronic enough to" "You're actually so clincially retarded" "they have a place for people like you" I happen to agree that his belief is wrong. But that doesn't give me the right to make personal attacks on him. If you want my opinion, these kind of attacks are one of the reasons that so many people deny the existence of the Holocaust despite the overwhelming evidence that it did in fact happen. People get emotional when somebody denies it, and instead of arguing rationally, they make personal attacks. That's the same thing people do when they are trying to cover up a conspiracy (witness every U.S. president there's been in the past several decades, with the possible exception of the ineffective but genuine Jimmy Carter). It tends to make the person who you are calling names wonder why you can't just give them the facts. Zeviz: As to the Mohammed cartoons controversy, I too was thinking about that and almost mentioned it in my previous post. But I think you are overstating the difference in the way people react. From what I have seen, opinion in Western countries is mostly on the side of the newspaper and not the offended Muslims. -------------------- Slarty vs. Desk • Desk vs. Slarty • Timeline of Ermarian • G4 Strategy Central Posts: 3560 \| Registered: Wednesday, November 7 2001 08:00

"Policing" ourselves? in General
Slarty Raven v. Writing Desk Member # 261	written Friday, April 21 2006 12:28 Profile Homepage #32 quote: Originally written by Erika Maroonmark: It's not as if the land already belonged to someone else and they took it– what is now Israel didn't belong to anyone. While I basically agree with Erika's sentiments -- that a whole lot of people were screwed over because of the selfishness of foreign powers -- the above statement simply isn't true. The land now known as Israel, like all of the Middle East, has been occupied by a VAST number of different groups of people, spanning millenia. There were other people living there before. The above statement is comparable to saying "it's not as if the land in North America already belonged to someone else and they took it -- what is now the U.S. didn't belong to anyone." One group of people ended up displacing another group of people. Now, I don't mean to compare Jewish treatment of Arabs to American treatment of Native Americans -- the Americans definitely win that booby prize -- nor do I wish to fan the Jew vs. Arab flamewar. Both groups have endured a lot of persecution, and it really sucks for everyone. Let's just not pretend the British plan was perfect. It did cause a war, after all! -------------------- Slarty vs. Desk • Desk vs. Slarty • Timeline of Ermarian • G4 Strategy Central Posts: 3560 \| Registered: Wednesday, November 7 2001 08:00
