I wouldn't go that far. Ultimately the way I see it is any system of government (or lack of) involving humans is flawed and subject to corruption. The little guys always suffer (which is why they should vote). To have a system that works best for the people, a single governing body, be it CEOs, elected officials (let's face it only those with money have a chance), religious leaders, or whatever, will eventually become corrupt. We need a balance of power to keep the people represented.

I'm to the extreme side of socialism (communism), so I reject any form of capitalism or free market ideology. No matter how much we do to balance it out, I don't believe we can create a fair society under capitalism. In order for capitalism to function, there has to be an under-class for cheap labor, either foreign or domestic.

I want a society where access to safe housing, food & water, electricity, medical care, education, and technology are guaranteed as human rights - not to be distributed based off fulfilling a set of criteria (hard work, "personal responsibility," etc.) In order for that to happen, we would have to completely remove profit from the equation, and abolish the idea of citizenship. Any one should be able to move anywhere, and then have the same rights and responsibilities as everyone else.

I know my opinion is radical and unlikely to ever happen. We'll probably all be dead from Global Warming first LOL.

I got called out to a $20 MM by another player of my region.

Do people have no shame in trying to MM a guy who mains the worst character in the game?

At least Tuna has a passable neutral game.

I can't say the same for our favorite queen of trashT...

IVs would be more tolerable if you could actually see them instead of hoping RNG is on your side trying to restart the game each and every time you get a Pokémon with IVs that leave a lot to be desired.

EVs cool though.

So since no one is hounding on you guys for talking about politics despite people doing that to me a while back, I'm just going to assume it is actually ok for me to speak now.

So heres my problem. Video games can't exist without capitalism. Video games exist because of the demand for them. In other types of government there is no longer a demand for them, i.e. there is no reason to create video games. I don't know exactly what type of government you want, but in some, you are even forced to have a certain job. Meaning no time to create video games in free time even if you could.

Not to mention I want to be a video game designer. Yes, Capitalism has it's flaws, but on a personal note, I have no choice. Being a video game maker is my dream and I won't let anything take that away from me.

Is it selfish? Sure. Maybe even very much so. But am I suppose to spend every waking moment thinking about how horrible people have it in the world? Doesn't sound like a fun life.

I can understand that. To be sure, there are materialistic things that I've grown accustomed to under capitalism that I would miss (video games being one of them).

Ech. Any government's gonna someone at the top anyway, I'd rather at least that everyone has a glimmer of a chance of rising in society based on their own success instead of everyone having to be clinging to the bottom rung for "equality" or whatever. My own family had to flee from communism, so I don't think I'll ever see it in a good light.

Anyone want a demo code for TLOZ: Triforce Heroes? I got an email and it gave me 2 extra ones that I'm supposed to give to my friends or something idk. The only problem is that I don't have any friends, so you girls can have them instead. :popkterces:

I have decided to waste my 10,000 post here by stating an honest opinion about you gorls:

You are all horrible users with an awful taste in mains. The fact that you are all sticking to such an unviable character is sickening. I have dedicated my 15 month lifespan to converting all of you to the Church of the Falcon but you are all beyond repair.

"I think Ness mains are sadistic people who kick kittens and drink baby tears"
Omni I completely agree with you. I don't really care about the rest of the video, that alone made me agree with everything.
Also I never really thought Sheik was that braindead, it's mostly just Ness and sometimes Falcon, Sonic, and Yoshi that I find braindead. But especially Ness.

The fact that you still haven't learned that most of us don't main Zelda is sickening.
