| Topic | Welcome to America: Home of the School Shooting |
| Herugrim 02/14/18 10:36:13 PM #10 | People need to start citing sources. Liberal media reports every school shooting ever. This is the first one I've heard and people are saying stuff like 8th school shooting, 28th mass shooting, etc... I call bull. --- John Watson: "Well it isn't obvious to me."

| Topic | Why are Conservatives / Republicans so anti-union? |
| Herugrim 02/14/18 3:31:38 PM #14 | Typically Conservatives ally with big businesses who hate unions. Unions are a sort of necessary evil. They can easily become corrupt and wind up shutting down a business for asking too much, but without them a lot of workers wind up illegally underpaid, without benefits, raises, or sick days. They also keep companies from firing people without justifiable cause, which can also be turned to keep someone around who is genuinely a negative influence. --- John Watson: "Well it isn't obvious to me." Sherlock Holmes: "The world is full of obvious things that nobody notices." |
| Topic | Why is video games seen as the universal waste of time hobby? |
| Herugrim 02/12/18 7:47:40 PM #16 | It is one of the more time consuming hobbies. Most hobbies wind up taking 1-2 hours a day, a couple days a week and still make good progress. Games are striving more and more for that 100 hours post. Not exactly something you can manage in a few hours a week. Also it's still kinda the newest one, so it gets crap for that. Books were a giant waste of time until radio came along. The Television came along and that was a big waste of time. People likened watching television to brain control. I suppose social media would be the next step, but can you really criticize social media while on social media? --- John Watson: "Well it isn't obvious to me." Sherlock Holmes: "The world is full of obvious things that nobody notices." |
| Topic | Why do Americans love McDonalds so much? |
| Herugrim 02/12/18 7:41:37 PM #24 | Healthy food is expensive. Being fat is cheap. it's strange. --- John Watson: "Well it isn't obvious to me." Sherlock Holmes: "The world is full of obvious things that nobody notices." |
| Topic | Why is there more hype for Black Panther than Infinity War? |
| Herugrim 02/12/18 7:39:02 PM #33 | What do you suppose the chances Infinity War will get 100% on Rotten Tomatoes before it hits theaters? --- John Watson: "Well it isn't obvious to me." Sherlock Holmes: "The world is full of obvious things that nobody notices." |
| Topic | Why do celebrities think their political opinions matter |
| Herugrim 01/30/18 6:38:08 PM #133 |   It's an entertainer's job to make you forget about shit like politics, not to shove it in your face. They are failing at their job. --- John Watson: "Well it isn't obvious to me." Sherlock Holmes: "The world is full of obvious things that nobody notices." |
| Topic | C/D: Atheists are bad people |
| Herugrim 01/29/18 7:42:37 PM #60 | The majority of them are. It takes a certain judgmental mindset to proclaim yourself an atheist. It would be simple to say you simply aren't sure, or that you doubt, or that you simple choose not to practice. But to come up with a new label, to become an activist in a movement with a goal, that's someone with an agenda. A person who calls themselves an Atheist is someone who declares war on religion. They want it ended, in all forms, especially Christianity. It's personal for them. An Atheist is offended when someone prays for victims of a violent act. Someone who isn't religious doesn't care. That's the difference. --- John Watson: "Well it isn't obvious to me." Sherlock Holmes: "The world is full of obvious things that nobody notices." |

| Topic | Why Macaulay Culkin left Hollywood |
| Herugrim 01/23/18 12:35:27 AM #13 | Looking back it's kind of a shame because even though at the time I thought he was hammy as Hell in retrospect he was one of the better child actors at the time. Then again it's probably good he got out before what happened to Corey Feldman would happen to him. --- John Watson: "Well it isn't obvious to me." Sherlock Holmes: "The world is full of obvious things that nobody notices." |
| Topic | Global Warming: It's literally the coldest winter in decades |
| Herugrim 01/17/18 10:18:01 PM #65 | If temps are warmer it's global warming If it's cold it's global warming Every single storm anywhere, global warming Republican president, that's global warming People are getting fatter, global warming Better stop eating meat cuz global warming. There hasn't been snow on Mt. Everest since 2012 except there has, global warming. --- John Watson: "Well it isn't obvious to me."

| Topic | 'Innocent until proven guilty' in regards to all these sexual assault cases |
| Herugrim 01/15/18 12:10:11 PM #54 | UncleBourbon33 posted... False accusations are a serious problem. Just a mere accusation with no evidence is enough to ruin someone's life. This. People lie. Happens all the time. A person should not lose his career because a woman point a finger. That said every accusation should be considered seriously and investigated. Apparently a lot of people didn't pay attention when their teacher went over the Salem witch trials in class. When a person can kill another simply by pointing a finger, that is intolerance at it's worst. I don't understand how people who are so against the death penalty because of wrong convictions in the past could turn around and justify registering someone as a sex offender based on nothing but a rumor and effectively ruin that person's life. What is more cruel, to kill an innocent person, or to treat him like a monster and ostracize him so that he cannot support himself or his family. Is it more humane to ruin a life than to take one? Better for an innocent man to be homeless and die alone in a gutter then to question a woman's integrity, eh? --- John Watson: "Well it isn't obvious to me." Sherlock Holmes: "The world is full of obvious things that nobody notices." |
| Topic | Has Chrono Trigger aged well? Never played it |
| Herugrim 01/15/18 12:02:32 PM #37 | It was probably the beset 16 bit RPG of it's time, so it's worth a look. There was a (slightly) upgraded version released digitally on PSN (The PS1 version, which has a few animated cut scenes) that's easy to get and has better quality audio. It's aged better then Chrono Cross. Of note, people saying it's easy actually mean there's less emphasis on grinding. The grind is still there, it just isn't as predominate as it is in other titles. To many people grind = hard. Never got that myself. Nothing hard about running in circles for a few hours to farm XP. I don't grind at all and I got stuck about halfway through. There's a boss that apparently your supposed to put him to sleep to beat him easier. I tried beating him straight up and got floored repeatedly. --- John Watson: "Well it isn't obvious to me." Sherlock Holmes: "The world is full of obvious things that nobody notices." |
| Topic | I'm fucking done if it's Oprah vs. Trump in 2020 |
| Herugrim 01/14/18 12:01:12 PM #9 | Well they have to maintain the tradition. Giant Douche vs Turd Sandwich --- John Watson: "Well it isn't obvious to me." Sherlock Holmes: "The world is full of obvious things that nobody notices." |
| Topic | It's 2018 and WWE's still never had a black WWE Champion. Is this the year? |
| Herugrim 01/09/18 1:26:12 AM #7 | The Rock doesn't count because... Does being part Samoan dilute his blackness? --- John Watson: "Well it isn't obvious to me." Sherlock Holmes: "The world is full of obvious things that nobody notices." |
| Topic | Trump gets way too much undeserved hate. |
| Herugrim 01/09/18 1:23:30 AM #37 | Trump gets roasted a lot. I won't say he's perfect or that he's even good, but a lot of it is salty trolling. The same thing happened to Bush. People actually blamed him for hurricane Katrina, not for the late response, but for the hurricane itself, as if he should have fought it off with his bare hands. That kind of stuff is ridiculous. When Trump was elected and people were acting like he was going to bring back slavery and execute LGBT+ people was just insane. Claiming he hasn't denounced the KKK and Neo Nazis that publicly endorse him even though he has, multiple times, is also stupid. The bottom line is the democrats outnumber everyone else and they control the majority of the media, as a result, the Republican in charge gets burned on a regular basis. If Hillary was in, they'd be in constant damage control and straight denial of all the open corruption she was guilty of on a regular basis. --- John Watson: "Well it isn't obvious to me." Sherlock Holmes: "The world is full of obvious things that nobody notices." |
| Topic | Will there be a suicide epidemic when Trump inevitably goes down? |
| Herugrim 01/09/18 1:15:17 AM #15 | You mean when he gets re-elected? Yeah, probably. --- John Watson: "Well it isn't obvious to me." Sherlock Holmes: "The world is full of obvious things that nobody notices." |
| Topic | You have to be a goddamn sociopath to value games over a person. |
| Herugrim 01/03/18 10:24:12 PM #58 | Socialising lead to politics. Look how well that turned out. People are selfish, stupid, and unreliable. Give me a good game, movie, or book over some idiot any day. All people will do is let you down and waste your time. --- John Watson: "Well it isn't obvious to me." Sherlock Holmes: "The world is full of obvious things that nobody notices." |
| Topic | I really can't stand when stores go "We close at 10 PM" and once you |
| Herugrim 01/02/18 1:18:58 AM #140 | I worked at a deli once and it drove me nuts when people would show up at 9:55 knowing we close at 10 and order a bunch of meat. I wasn't on a time clock, I was paid per my schedule and I was only paid until 10, and I had to clean the entire place, including all my equipment, before leaving so if I have to stay late because some mook wanted six different kind of cheeses and some liverwurst I wasn't paid for it and that was irritating. I work until 11 at night so if I need something on the way home from work I stop at a place I know is open. There are two wal-marts, a 24-hour gas station, a 24-hour McDonald's drive through, and a Rite-Aid that's open 'til midnight. --- John Watson: "Well it isn't obvious to me." Sherlock Holmes: "The world is full of obvious things that nobody notices." |
| Topic | Where are you on the political compass? |
| Herugrim 12/29/17 10:22:11 PM #14 | I am independent and think for myself. --- John Watson: "Well it isn't obvious to me." Sherlock Holmes: "The world is full of obvious things that nobody notices." |
| Topic | Have you ever met a conservative that wasn't an absolutely terrible person? |
| Herugrim 12/25/17 3:59:13 PM #33 | I've met bad people that were republicans I've met bad people that were democrats I've met bad people that were white I've met bad people that were black I've met bad people that were men I've met bad people that were women I've met bad people that were young I've met bad people that were old I've met bad people that were rich I've met bad people that were poor I've met bad people that were religious I've met bad people that were not religious I've only met a handful of good people. People are bad. --- John Watson: "Well it isn't obvious to me." Sherlock Holmes: "The world is full of obvious things that nobody notices." |
| Topic | You know, the Punisher had a point in his debate with Daredevil |
| Herugrim 12/25/17 3:53:47 PM #2 | A big reason comic heroes do this is because the writers want to be able to bring the villain back. Comics at written for years, decades. If all the villains were killed off each time and the writers had to constantly invent new ones it would be very high pressure and I doubt it would work. People always ask why Batman doesn't kill the Joker. Joker actually did die in his first appearance, but he was so popular with fans that they retconned it and brought him back. --- John Watson: "Well it isn't obvious to me."

| Topic | Lower class individuals tend to be better at confict resolution. |
| Herugrim 12/21/17 9:37:51 AM #3 | When you know what it's like to bust your balls just to make ends meat, it tends to put things in perspective. The working class spends less time arguing over pointless opinions and more time trying to support their families. Middle and upper class individuals don't know what it's like to work for a living so every little speed bump becomes a mountain. You really don't need a study to tell you that the wealthy are spoiled and helpless. --- John Watson: "Well it isn't obvious to me." Sherlock Holmes: "The world is full of obvious things that nobody notices." |
| Topic | With all of this Star Wars talk.... |
| Herugrim 12/21/17 9:29:03 AM #9 | TNG was always my favorite. You just can't beat that cast IMO. DS9 had some really great stuff, though without the actual exploration it feels less trekky. Enterprise was a highly underrated series. Great acting and writing. Voyager was boring as Hell. "Hey guys, let's wander into that nebula and get lost again!" "Okey!" TOS was cheesy but charming. Makes for good background noise when you are doing other things. The Abrams reboots felt more like Star Wars. Flashy with little substance. Very dumbed down compared to the original stuff. I haven't watch the new show yet but everything I hear/read about it makes me want to watch it less. Both Star Wars and Star Trek have seen better days. --- John Watson: "Well it isn't obvious to me." Sherlock Holmes: "The world is full of obvious things that nobody notices." |
| Topic | Fat people shouldn't feel ashamed of being fat |
| Herugrim 12/19/17 3:57:21 PM #67 | I'm fat for 2 reasons. 1. I don't give a fuck what you think. 2. I don't want to live longer, especially if doing it means being miserable. Some people drive themselves crazy obsessing over their appearance. I'm just not one of those people. I'm a misanthrope. Bottom line is there is such a thing as quality of life. There will come a point where I wont be able to do the things I want to do for now I'm going to take advantage. We all get to the point were living means unending pain. The question is how long are you interested in suffering. --- John Watson: "Well it isn't obvious to me." Sherlock Holmes: "The world is full of obvious things that nobody notices." |
| Topic | Now I know why no one has tried to do it before *Star Wars TLJ spoilers* |
| Herugrim 12/19/17 12:05:49 AM #9 | Wasn't that the Picard Maneuver, to warp a short distance to throw the enemy off? It wasn't a suicide run of course, Picard was smarter than that. Anyways yeah, interdictors were a thing. They even dedicated an episode of Rebels to it, and were featured in the old Empire At War video games from back when. Honestly don't know why people think it's any sort of viable tactic. A shit is expensive, would be destroyed in the process, and you would kill everyone on board. If you took the time to evacuate, the ship probably wouldn't last long enough, or at least the hyperdrive would be damaged before the attempt could be made. --- John Watson: "Well it isn't obvious to me." Sherlock Holmes: "The world is full of obvious things that nobody notices." |
| Topic | what's your earliest gamefaqs memory |
| Herugrim 12/18/17 11:59:00 PM #51 | First used it back in the late 90s to look up walkthroughs for Dragon Ball Z Legends (game wasn't in English, needed help) and to print codes and movelists for Mortal Kombat Trilogy. Can't remember exactly when I started posting but I was there for the PS vs N64 console war. Read about it in magazines and argued about it around here. I remember how they used to mod people for posting anything critical of The Legend of Zelda or Mario. --- John Watson: "Well it isn't obvious to me."

| Topic | Remember when the Windwaker artstyle was a huge controversy in gaming? |
| Herugrim 12/18/17 11:52:54 PM #26 | It was never that controversal. A few loud people on the internet when it first came out didn't like it. All the critics thought it was great and the majority of the fans were on board. It was actually held against Twilight Princess by the majority of fans that it didn't look like Windwaker. It was only years later that other gamers crawled out of the wood work and criticized it. There's more of them now, but they still aren't the majority and there weren't a ton of flame wars about it or anything. --- John Watson: "Well it isn't obvious to me."

| Topic | Twitter is finally banning the nazis |
| Herugrim 12/18/17 4:31:37 PM #99 | The Great Muta 22 posted... The Admiral posted...Callixtus posted...A private company with that sort of influence should not have this power to limit speech. They aren't qualified to determine what is a hate group or not. And what do they mean by "violent"? It is quite open to interpretation. *Shows physical proof* *Replies denying proof exists* And I suppose while we're at it we'll just pretend #KillAllWhitePeople was never trending. Just like #KillAllMen. Even though it was and still is all over the internet, we'll just pretend it's not there. No proof! Bottom line is Nazi isn't a term exclusive to actual Nazi's anymore. It's become a catch all for any person you don't like, like "Facist", "White Supremacist", and "Misogynist". Like Trump is rounding up Jews in concentration camps. Like calling for a ban on all political parties other than Democrats isn't single party Facism. Because only white people can be racist. That is a completely tolerant ideology to operate under. 10,000 people marching through New York calling for "Dead Cops Now!" is a benign and perfectly legitimate organization, and they never riot even when they do. Men are dying exponentially faster than women in every single study, in the military, in the work place, in suicide. Women 20-35 years old graduate from college more often then men, with better grades then men, are making more money then men, and are in control of 60% of personal finances as well as 52% of the stock market. The majority of prisoners are men, the majority of the unemployed are men, and the majority of the homeless are men, but we live in a "patriarchy" that oppresses women at every single turn. If Twitter wants to ban everyone who isn't AltLeft and call everyone else a hate group, that's their choice. I never liked Twitter anyway. Enjoy your echo chamber. I hope it brings you comfort as the world around you burns. --- John Watson: "Well it isn't obvious to me." Sherlock Holmes: "The world is full of obvious things that nobody notices." |
| Topic | Who would you say lost more this year. Liberals or Conservatives? |
| Herugrim 12/18/17 4:10:05 PM #39 | The human race. Liberals and Conservatives have reached all time lows around the world, and people are still stupid enough to pick one side or the other. It was Giant Douche vs Turd Sandwich or other, people chose the douche or the sandwich over other, knowing that anything at all would've been better. Hell, you could've voted for a dead person, any dead person and you still chose between Hillary and Trump. Really no better in Europe either, where people are getting locked up for mean tweets. --- John Watson: "Well it isn't obvious to me."

I'm not happy with what they're doing with Star Wars.

| Topic | Gotta imagine Disney probably isn't happy with EA's lack of Star Wars games? |
| Herugrim 11/17/17 12:25:59 PM #32 | It's because disney shut down lucasarts and every project they were working on. So if Disney has a problem with it it's their own fault. But I doubt they do. How many games have you seen released lately based on Disney properties? They don't seem to care much about the market. Pretty sure the only reason they let Rebels happen was because Clone Wars did so well. --- John Watson: "Well it isn't obvious to me."

| Topic | Why do conservatives/white supremacists act like political correctness is bad? |
| Herugrim 10/28/17 1:52:11 AM #118 | Political Correctness is censorship, plain and simple. It's a spearhead against free speech and I'm 100% against it. "Sticks and stones may break my bones but names will never hurt me." As someone who's experienced both verbal and physical abuse unprovoked (a/k/a intolerance) I find it absolutely absurd that people would insist that they are both equally harmful. All the names I was called and none of it hurt nearly as much as getting kicked in the balls or punched in the stomach. If you can't tell the difference, then someone should probably kick your ass so that you can. As long as people aren't inciting physical violence, what they think and say doesn't matter. --- John Watson: "Well it isn't obvious to me."

| Topic | Fat people, why aren't you losing weight? |
| Herugrim 10/09/17 10:21:53 PM #35 | Healthy food is more expensive. $6.99 for a basic salad. I can get two donuts and a 30oz cup of soda for $3. And eating less doesn't make you thin. If you aren't burning calories the fat will stay there. You think of someone starves to death they will burn every ounce of fat first? Of course not, idiot. Loosing weight requires activity and if you have a lot of weight then you need to spend money on a gym membership or equipment. Even if you walk/run every day in a sweatsuit you won't loose the weight of you are obese. I'm lazy and broke, and more importantly I don't give a damn.

| Herugrim 10/04/17 3:34:42 PM #16 | Right after Great American Bash 2004. JBL as champ and things got really boring really quickly. Although the main reason at the time was I had just started working nights and couldn't catch it anymore. Haven't been able to get back into it since. Tried several times but it just doesn't work.

| Topic | Dallas broadcaster Dale Anderson who is a vietnam Vet spits truth about protests |
| Herugrim 09/28/17 12:57:32 AM #68 | I don't support Trump, but this guy was just vomiting rhetoric. First of all protesting the nation anthem isn't protesting the current administration, it's protesting the country itself. It's the kind of thing people do when they want to get rid of democracy in favor of socialism, or capitalism in favor of communism. Trump and his administration didn't write "The Star Spangled Banner" nor did they appoint it the national anthem in the 30s. It has nothing to do with police brutality or racism. Secondly this white privilege nonsense is total bull shit. I'm white. Nobody's ever given me a god damn thing. I make $1236 a month and my cost of living (before groceries) is $1263 a month, and welfare told me I make too much money for any kind of support. I know what it's like to go weeks on end without electricity because my parents couldn't afford to pay the bill. I know what it's like to only have something to eat because it was donated by the church. I'm paying $500 a month for a fifteen year old Mercury Sable that leaks power steering fluid (costs $1200 to fix) and living off ramen and coffee. White Privilege is a myth. And finally, this is a business. Players have the right to protest, even as they are making millions of dollars to play a game that they could not do in a lot of other countries. Owners also have the right to release a player if they feel they have displayed unsportsmanlike conduct. I personally don't have to support any player that I don't agree with. As such I don't have to support a player who chooses to protest the capitalistic democracy I choose to live in. I like being able to have private property, the option to start my own business, and all things considered I'd rather deal with Democracy at it's works than the dictatorships that rise from Socialism and Communism. --- John Watson: "Well it isn't obvious to me."

| Topic | Why anyone would be opposed to athletes kneeling during anthems at sport games? |
| Herugrim 09/24/17 11:56:34 AM #21 | The anthem isn't about the military, it's about the history of this country. It's a symbol of liberty, not white supremacy and to suggest it is, is an insult to the entire country, not the corrupt politicians or greedy businesses that currently run it but the people who choose to live in it. The only reason any of these people can make a living playing these games for a few months a year is because this is a country and not a colony. What we know as baseball and football would not exist. We'd all be playing soccer for the Queen. And if it wasn't for Abolitionism and the Civil Rights Movement these black men wouldn't be allowed to play either. It's true America has been responsible for a lot of terrible things, but we've made a lot of progress and to denounce that progress because intolerance still exists, despite being illegal and all the affirmative action putting poor minorities through school strictly based on their skin color, is ignorant and disrespectful towards the people that fought for and benefited from that progress. In the end the real reason these people don't want to stand is because they themselves are racists. They think there's too many white people and they want us to die off. --- John Watson: "Well it isn't obvious to me." Sherlock Holmes: "The world is full of obvious things that nobody notices." |
