True but when you consider the visual and sound design, the soundtrack, the atmosphere and Jin Kazama being a lame-ass substitute for Kazuya (although Bryan Fury is better than Bruce), Tekken 2 is obviously better. It was slower but more satisfying.

never played that much 2 tbh, but the 3 soundtrack (esp arcade) was awesome. ling & hwoarang are my 2 favs, yoshi was amazing, lei's haha step biz incredible, paul phoenix still irritating but it just felt like a huge expansion and i love the way it felt

anyway not to deny you your constitutional right to a controversial opinion itt, carry on

all you really need from 80's Wire is a copy of the "kidney bingos" 12-inch and the "ahead" 12-inch.

but you need all the colin solo records even It Seems which nobody thinks they need but you kinda do.

Bernie would have won, but it would only have delayed the disaster four years. Clinton was the only cure.

Also, if Bernie had dropped out back in April where he really had lost his chance, Clinton would have won. Despite the very many missteps she and her campaign did on their own.

Jesus doesn't walk

Jesus walked... on water!

nope - airboat

Bernie wouldn't have won: Clinton liberals would have done everything possible to sabotage him as the Democratic candidate, up to and including running a thrid party candidate, thus throwing the election to Trump because they have fewer and less fundamental disagreements with Trump.

Clinton was the only cure

lol this is the accepted mass marketed centrist corporate lib fantasy, nothing controversial about it

When is the box with the definitive correct answer opened again?

plants are better than animals

uncontroversial imo

Plants are just slower at cuntishness stop discrimination on effectiveness

This isn't controversial, because I'm not naming names. There are a couple of music critics right now (not anyone from the old guard) who are treated with great reverence, almost without dissent as far as I can tell. Links to their ruminations (sometimes provided by them, more often by others) pop up on my FB wall regularly. Can't stand either one of them. Not that I have anything to lose at this point, but both are admired by people I do like, and I wouldn't do myself any favors to name them. I've never spoken to one of them, the other I spoke to once, over the phone, 25 years ago. If I've ever dealt with a snottier, more condescending person, I've forgotten who it is, and that definitely still colours my antipathy.

That's a p bad example of a controversial opinion man i think you could drop a bigger bomb than that if you put yr mind to it

A snotty condescending critic? Well, blow me down.

it not me

there are critics treated with great reverence? maybe by their mom....

By ur mom maybe

ur mom revere me all night like paul revere

there are critics treated with great reverence?

just bill james

Not so much an opinion as a gut reaction, but the term "queer" still makes me uncomfortable

― Wet Pelican would provide the soundtrack (Myonga Vön Bontee),

in what sense? As a portmanteau, I prefer it to LBTQ, largely b/c I don't drink alphabet soup.

i wonder if it depends on how old you are. this is how i heard it all the time when i was a kid.

so in a way, subconsciously, queer will always = wrong in a way? wrong like archie and the hundreds of other people i heard for decades. but i don't really think of him every time i hear or see the word.

i am glad i lived long enough to see queer duck. and jeez just see and hear so many things i never thought i'd see or hear. we've come a long way baby. ellen is selling her 45 million dollar villa!

an out and proud woman is the biggest thing on t.v. and worth 400 million dollars!

sorry i don't have anything controversial...

oh, wait: england is a fag country. there.

Morbs' take completely uncontroversial imo

Scott gets it...I'm of the age where "queer" is still a derogatory word used by Archie Bunker (and my dad, on occasion) back in the old days. I was having this very discussion with my best friend (who happens to be gay) some months ago, talking about my discomfort with the word, and I explained that I understood the theoretical process of an oppressed group wanting to reclaim a pejorative as an affirmative term...and he explained that that wasn't the point at all, that it was more of an umbrella term for LGBT-related issues, and so in theory I get it. But it still bothers me.

(Still, give me a few more years and I'll have gotten comfortable with it, the way it took my younger sister ridiculing me to get me to start referring to pot as weed)

who? Ellen? (i've never liked her much and her recent cuddlyism with Dubya hawking his paintings, blechhh)

I still heard "queer" as a derogatory term in the 80s and 90s, probably even the 00s? Do engineering students still sing that drinking song?

"who? Ellen?"

yeah, ellen. oprah is worth 3 billion but i think she's still in the closet.

IDK if it's an age thing. In my undergrad gender studies class in 2009 or 2010, some of the (straight) students were horrified by the professor's use of the term "queer," because they only knew of it as a pretty nasty slur.

I started seeing less wincing when "Q" joined LGBT. I just use "queer" to avoid the alphabet soup.

i was chastised by a professor in 2006 for describing something as queer in joyce's ulysses in a lit class

"Queer" is so commonplace within academia (at least now, and at least in some departments) that I often forget, when teaching first-years, that most of them probably only know it as a slur, so there's always that moment of discomfort the first time I use it in class.

That said, I don't think that it would have ever occurred to me to use "queer" if I wasn't familiar with Queer Theory (as it is still called).

queer theory is definitely a cool term. try saying it ten times fast though.

would love a quare fellowship

My workplace does health work with sex worker organisations, and i'm not comfortable with using the word 'whore' instead of 'sex worker' or 'prostitute', even though it is many's preferred self-description, because it sound as though i'm trying to be colossally offensive

imo it's a self-description that maybe peers are cool using but it feels very much like in-group nomenclature

Yeah, very true

i like Jason Schwartzman

that doesn't seem too controversial!
