This is sickening.

Today I saw a popup that made me the angriest I've been in a very long time.

<_<

I almost threw up when I saw it, I hope most of you can understand why.

darkphantomime

It's not showing up for me for some reason.

Zelda Veteran

Its not showing up for me either.
Is it appropriate for TDC? ::)

My real Poison team in BW2. They all have perfect natures and EV's. I went the extra distance and bred the right IV's into them. Come at me bro.

Keaton

Aw, bummer.

Yes, it's appropriate.  I've got to be discretionary what with all the young impressionable minds here.

It's one of those interactive ones.  You're in a tank and you have to move out of the way of landmines while various jihad devotees heckle you from the roadside.

Takun

Thats really messed up. >:(

I've seen sme rather disturbing popup's sometimes. I hate them kind of pop ups.

MagmarFire

Appropriate as it may be, I don't think I want to look... Sorry about this, Tacheon.



Advanceshipping and Rion had better be Chuck Norris approved.

MasterKeyX

Damn America!  >:( Why do they have to make this kind of stuff look like some kind of videogame!? Which is one of the reasons why I won't play games like Halo or those other shooting games.

I don't see why everyone has to be so hostile towards Muslims. I know we're at war with them right now, but who freaking cares!? I think that's the only reason why people are (or were) complaining so much about Obama being Muslim. Who cares if he is or not!? If the only reason they're cutting down Muslims is because we're at war with a Muslim country, then that's pretty sad. I thought America was a place where you could be whatever religion you wanted without someone coming up to you and saying "Ooh, you're a Muslim? Are you a terrorist? Are you on Iraq's side?"  :P

Sorry if I got a bit off-topic. But that's my two-cents on this ad.

MOD EDIT:  Profanity is not allowed.  Why not try some quirky, funny British words?

Keaton

Vaati, I know that you feel deeply about this, (heck, so do I), but I'm afraid that you know the rules.  Asterisks or not, it's easy to fill in the blanks for what you were trying to imply-- so I'm going to have to give you a warning.  :\

Sorry.

Vaati

Crud, oh well. (But I thought you could as long as you used asterisks).
Anyway, whatever. I understand.

I agree completely. There is a Muslim kid that goes to my school and we were talking when this girl asked him what grade he was in, then this kid passed by and said,
"Don't talk to him or he might blow your house up."

If you * the whole word, I think we're fine.  But just *'ing the key vowel or so makes it obvious.

Or you could go the route of comic strip writers and use *&#$@% to censor.

Oh, okay.
To MajoraKirby, I know. I mean, I'm Agnostic, so religion isn't a big problem for me, but how we have the "One nation, under God" in our pledge seems kind of...incorrect. There are alot of monotheistic religions (in America), but just because the majority of these religions are monotheistic and their god is male, doesn't mean that other religions that are polytheistic don't count. What about Hinduism? They have more than one god. The way I see it, religion and politics should be separate. And the Pledge of Allegiance falls more into the politics side. So I don't think "God" should be mentioned in it.

Gamefreak

Well, Freedom of Speech falls into it too.

By removing it, you'd be making a lot of people upset like the ones who were upset that it wasn't there.

So, if you don't want it, don't say it.  I doubt by having the rest of your class say "Under God" is going to warp your mind or anything.
