Topic: The Chit-Chat Thread

@Peek-a-boo please, we have been through this before. This is simply not the place for this. Go somewhere else to discuss politics.

@Meowpheel You're telling me that important issues in today's world, especially with the amount of ignorance on display to said issues, isn't worth talking and educating folks about?

I have no qualms ceasing my thoughts on here however, would you ask me to stop talking about politics if somebody decided to press the big red button, say a 70 year old man-child for example, and launched a nuclear bomb?

Would you then?

@Peek-a-boo I'm very well aware of the situation. I don't support the decision, but it's what it is. Not like individual states have already pledged to continue their efforts towards climate change, anyway. AND the resistance towards that decision, in general.
That comment I made was mainly directed to your whole know-it-all rhetoric ("It's been nice knowing all of you" is pretty telling). Especially since this is a Nintendo gaming fansite, I'm not sure what you're trying to achieve...

@Vee_Flames To be perfectly frank, you replied to me like somebody who didn't seem to care about the issue I brought up in the first place. It came across a little bit like this:

Perhaps you could add something of substance (than what you originally wrote) in the foreseeable future?

I'm not a Mr. Know-It-All. Far from it. There's always something new to learn and pursue every single day. I am a school teacher for a living, and I truly believe everybody has their piece to say. Debating is part and parcel of the way the world is, whether it is in person or on a Nintendo fan site as you pointed out yourself.

"We are each entitled to our own opinion, but no one is entitled to his own facts." - Daniel Patrick Moynihan

I doubt that's true. The real reason is probably money. Energy from fossil fuels is considerably cheaper than renewables in the US.

This is why I don't pay much attention to political arguments on the internet. Most of the time, it boils down to people saying "I'm right, everyone who disagrees is evil", followed by name-calling.

And by the way, I think the US should have stayed in the Paris agreement.

This nintendo site in particular is not the right place for this particular subject, but you can be sure that there is a place and time for every kind of debate. The Internet is a huge place with so many outlets, the people who wish to debate be or informed will find them.

They're not chained to this site.

Apathy is to be expected when you repeatedly try to bring a topic to the wrong conversation.

@Meowpheel Fair enough. As you wish!

I am pretty sure I have only ever mentioned something political about three times during my four years here however, if that's one too many times for you to say that I 'bring this subject up so often' then I shall use this opportunity to bring all three - or possibly four - of my political posts to an end.

As you all were.

All I want to say is Peek-a-boo is 100% right. We're effed.

No point in debating though.

Has anyone watched videos by Mark Brown? The Game Maker's Toolkit fella.

I found him sort of recently, and his videos have honestly been a lot of fun to watch, and he brings up a lot of good points. He features a lot of Zelda games and seems to be a big fan of them.

I might agree with Peek-a-boo and I too am concerned about Trump's decision, but Prof Oak's words echoed....

There's a time and place for everything! But not here.

I tend to come to NL to avoid most political arguments I find on Facebook and the like.

This summarizes how I feel in a nutshell. I don't mind having constructive, rational debates about stuff like this, but much of the internet doesn't share my ideas on such an approach (summarized well above). How some people respond to thorny subjects on sites like Facebook makes me sometimes wonder what's wrong with the world.

Bottom line though, I'm certain the site's rules don't allow political discussions.

I'm on the site via my laptop right now instead of my phone (which I use 90% of the time on here). I think these autoplay video ads are messing with my phone browser as the text box completely blanks out after awhile if I'm trying to construct longer posts. I even had a few problems just now, and finally had to turn Adblock+ back on. I generally have it turned off on here in order to support the site.

Another epic battle featuring Sanya. lol

Well, the first statement is slightly inaccurate to what was actually said. Allow me to do some editing:

If you didn't say something along the likes of "It's been nice knowing everybody!" I wouldn't even have responded, jokingly or not.

Those were the days... They don't make quality music software like this anymore.

kat overload

^{that dont look right to mii}

The 3DS will live forever! A hundred years 3DS, forever and forever until the end of times.

Of course it will! Its stability is on par with Chuck Norris!

I think I just found the best music video on YouTube

Damn, really wish LJM was still here

@FriedSquid
for some reason it cut yer quote i had from you about urban champion on my signature. the settings still say 300 characters but it cut it to like half a sentence all the sudden...

@ogo79 I'm out here trying to promote some of Nintendo's best games and this is how they treat me!?
