I was once being called a sexist for saying that the average man is smarter than the average woman.

Yes.

Anna, I agree, she is the best choice.

 

[MSmariosonic]

Well, if you didn't have any evidence for that and just said it based on your own opinions, they weren't exactly wrong.
Especially because it's pretty hard to gauge intelligence accurately.

I based it on a scientific experiment.

It's not sexist

Men aren't beautiful

And oh my land is it true.

Classic example of mythandry. Uh, I mean misandry. Yeah.

 

[Kenith]

I based it on scientific experiment.

Still, intelligence is not really something you can measure. Certain people know more about certain things, and just because someone has slow reaction times doesn't make them an idiot.

And, frankly, proclaiming that men are generally smarter than women is going to raise some eyebrows no matter where you say it.

Couldn't you base an experiment on like IQ or something?

So it's good to be mistaken as a woman than? I'm gonna start wearing manbras.

But... but... Intelligent system IS intelligent. (not just for paper mario though).

Why is football the favored sport anyway? Why do we live in a society where sports like football are favored over sports like tennis and bowling? I mean, they're all equally boring.

The most exciting sport of them all is, of course, the game of Go.

 

[Kenith]

Ahem

Confession Chrom would like to have a word with you.

Honestly, ever since I came here I've been bombed a lot for making clear my support of more female playable characters in Smash and other games like that, it's not because I was a huge star at my senior prom, it's just that I feel like America before 1920 is happening again, but this time in the gaming industry with female playable characters.

 

[WolfieXVII ❂]

When the hell is Nintendo going to offer more GameCube games on VC!
I regret getting rid of my old systems now..

 

[MSmariosonic]

Extreme ironing beats all sports.

Chess is actually pretty exciting. At least when you have Kasparov freaking out:

It's gonna happen, but it probably won't be announced until a Nintendo Direct, which the earliest possible time for one is this august.

I think even worst offenders are those sports games like FIFA or PES. Every single year, a game is released and each sequel hardly looks different from the previous game, yet those games sell like crazy. People are willing to buy the exact same game every single year. With such mentalities, no wonder the industry is in decline when it comes to quality and innovation.

But... but... It added my fave sports star and they added a new crease on David Beckham's forehead! :O

But for serious, they update each game with the new teams/player rosters which could easily be done with things like yearly patches like Capcom's been doing with SF4.

Also, @ anyone who said this, I agree, American Football is the most brainless and boring sport.
I can get behind people liking soccer and baseball, and a few others, but "Murican" Football is serious garbage.

You mean with flappers and gangsters and junk!

And Prohibition?

Sounds a little exciting actually

There is a certain romanticism to those times

Who else is going to be a moonshiner?

Are you American?
If not then like I've said before anyone who's not American won't really understand because it's our culture.
A big part of our culture as a matter of fact be careful who you say that to in America is all I'm saying.

The only reason why I like it is because I like seeing people get tackled. (And I do enjoy human pain too. )

 

[Fatmanonice]

You could say the same about any sport.
Cross Country and track destroys your knees and ankles, Softball/Baseball Destroys your shoulder, and Soccer is shins.
And Rugby is also 10x worse than American Football.
Edit: as in direct content not in personal preference.

Most other sports it's a lot more spread out though both in where the injuries are and how long it takes for serious problems to occur. For the NFL, the average career is about 5 years because of what a heavy toll it takes on the entire body. Oddly enough, rugby is actually safer than American football because there's no padding. I know that sounds like the opposite of what it should be but there's two big reasons why this is the case: 1. more padding tricks the players into thinking they can use more force, leading to harder tackles (on the same note, this is why boxing gloves are more dangerous than taped fists) and 2. American football players tend to charge with their head forward, making head injuries much more likely.

 

[Sehnsucht]

What's the consensus on Sepak Takraw?

 

[Jason the Yoshi]

American Football is the most brainless and boring sport.

Football is by far the most popular sport in America! Half of the schools in America are made famous by their football! You have to attend a football game to understand football. This is coming from someone whose been to the Metrodome to see the Vikings 9 times, so I know what I'm talking about.

You could say that it's because of injuries or you could say it's because of the money.
5 years in the NFL would mean your grandchildren wouldn't have to work for anything.
Even the bench-warmers make about 6 digits a year.

 

[MSmariosonic]

We've all been there. I know I have.

I am American.

And I am consistently disappointed by my "people".

I respect your opinion.

Have ya'll thanked The Netherlands for Santa Claus?

Not necesarily, I'm talking about how women weren't allowed to vote until 1920. Limiting voting rights to men was wrong then as it's wrong today

 

[Sehnsucht]

I respect your opinion.

But do you respect his authorita?

 

[NonSpecificGuy]

Have ya'll thanked The Netherlands for Santa Claus?

Yes, and alot of other people have thanked them for Amsterdam.

 

[MSmariosonic]

But do you respect his authorita?

I respect you, darling.

 

[Kenith]

I respect your opinion.

Thank you, I guess...?

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

They weren't allowed to drink alcohol either but that's what moonshiners/bootleggers and speakeasy's were for

 

[MSmariosonic]

Yes, and alot of other people have thanked them for Amsterdam.

Hookers from Amsterdam you mean?
Why yes. Ofcourse...

 

[Sehnsucht]

I respect you, darling.

Thank you kindly, madam.

 

[MSmariosonic]

Thank you kindly, madam.

19th time i've been called a female on SmashBoards.
Who's the lucky 20th?

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

I'm half Norwegian and the only thing I know about the area is they soak fish in lye and eat it
