Stopped reading after firts paragraph
READ THE BOOKS
Besides that, seriously though this has bugged me.

For one, Wizards are shown to be rare compared to Muggles, meaning an outnumbering scenario is highly unlikely vs Muggles. Second, point n shoot outspeeds pretty much any spell of use especially since you can shoot much further away than what damn near any spell has ever been shown to reach.

idk, i always saw it as a kind of weird plot hole just for the sake of the story yet always bugged me lol.

When J.K. Rowling gives us a lot of background info explaining how wizards think, then it isn't really a plothole anymore why they refuse to use the tools of muggles.

People don't always behave in the most rational manner possible, especially when you are dealing with something as totally irrational as magic.

As long as it makes sense in the context of their society, it works.

Think it may have gotten lost in the million posts a minute here, but what did she say about using Muggle artifacts?

JK Rowling's vision of magic is boring. Let's talk about how cool the One Power is instead.

and look just once, then avert my eyes permanently.(dat instant memorization at a glance ability) I don't want to ever make any girl uncomfortable if I can help it, and that goes for people in general. I don't like hurting people's feelings, etc. etc.

The winner is predetermined but there's more to that. There's the in ring psychology that goes into it. There's also an element of storytelling that goes into it. If you listen to this match, Austin will tell you the deeper things that go on in presenting and telling a story in a match.

Well I watched the whole thing. Austin's enthusiastic commentary is enjoyable, but wrestling is such a weird and repetitive pastime

At the Ministry of Magic there is a Misuse of Muggle Artifacts Office, whose sole job is to prevent everyday objects from being enchanted. Mostly to keep them out of circulation and falling back into muggle hands.

There was the exception of the flying car, but I don't think that was condoned at all.

Do you think if I grow out my hair and tug my braid enough, I'll turn into a tsundere with incredible magical powers?

Right, but at the same time you would think stuff like that would happen given the nature of how some students go back to "muggle life" between semesters and such, or even just in general.

I guess what I'm asking is that I'd love to see somethign sortof like Xmen's "cure" storyline or Mr Sinister with these types of "hidden world" type stories. Where each side comes into contact and the actual ramifications and questions are brought up instead of "lol, we must stay hidden from the normal people!".


Also, never seen tangled. Should I?

Tangled is a great movie, it has a lot of clever things in it without beating you over the head with a message unlike that movie about icy slush, I forget what it's called.

Frozen is good, my comment was more so relative to Tangled itself. I think Tangled does most/all of everything better overall.

But mostly I'm just sick of hearing Let It Go played everywhere which is more of a pop culture issue, god damn sick of that

Also, trying to subvert the typical view of true love with sisterly love doesn't make the use of it less lame. It also would have helped if they tried to actually establish a strong connection between the two.

It works well in prank calls.

That's kinda why I like that through different eras. To try and change up things.

Bro it takes place in the 90's
Also, England is very strict on gun control, pretty sure citizens cant even own firearms.
hey I know that this woman says critical things about video games and that must make you feel really bad about yourself but can you maybe keep offensively intolerant comments to yourself please
Bleck you're a ****ing idiot

Actually read the rest of the post before misquoting **** out of context.

yeah I read the rest of his post, probably in a quarter of the time it took you to come up with this stunning counterpost

the rest of his criticism doesn't justify saying "speaking of Jews that I hate" - there was no point in quoting the entire post and splattering it all over another page, so I cut it down to the part that I was responding to directly

We gonna do this again? Really? Stop posting, the both of you.
Get off SWF for a half hour or more. Don't be Those Guys™.

...Besides, what did Hylian just say, after all?

Wait. What happened when I left to go watch videos
Don't worry, nothing of worth was lost. This thread rarely has any value whatsoever. I can't even go s*** on this thread with my awesomeness, that's how bad and unworthy it is right now.

Status quo is only dumb if whatever has been allowed to become the status quo is dumb to begin with

So the best status quo would be having no status quo?
