HOLY CAM PANTHERS WIN PANTHERS WIN PANTHERS WIN

Well we beat you in the dome last year, just sayin'. jk, it'll be tough to beat you guys in the dome but I'm mildly confident we can do it. You can't get 40 first downs every week. And yeah, it's awesome to see the Falcons and Bucs suck at the same time! When does that ever happen these days? Maybe we'll both sweep them and they'll both finish under 5-11 or something.

We're only one game back on you guys now, don't get cocky. As a side, I'm quite looking forward to sweeping you again, this time twice in three weeks. Keep in mind either or both of them could be flexed up to primetime. XD

My team is the Giants. *hides* Eh, Giants aren't bad. I'll take em over the Cowboys or Skins.

Which team do you root for? I can understand not liking the Panthers if you came from a Cowboys or Redskins family... I have more than enough relatives who are Cowboys fans.

Wow, what a great football game. 6-3 baby! Sorry Niners fans, but CK < Cam. -TN05

Sorry to hear that. I have AS and I don't have any major issues with it, but many people do have them. I don't know what I can say here other than that some people are mean and other people just don't understand people who act differently. And to the person who said Christians can't get depression, he should go back and read the Bible again. Perfection is not attainable by anyone and those who say it is are liars.

LEGO can bring back BIONICLE anytime they wish, and I hope they do, but nothing we can do is going to bring it back.

1. Agreed. 2. Only movie I've seen that he directed is the Avengers, so I can't judge... but I will say Whedon was one of the screewriters of Toy Story, so... 3-4. Eh, Castle is OK. I'll watch it if nothing else is on. 5. Agreed. 6-10. Never saw. 11. Agreed. I don't like 3D for some reason. 12. I thought it was OK. Not great but OK, although it went a bit overboard with the environmentalist stuff in the second act. 13-14. Never saw. 15-16. Agreed. People tend to look at the absurd stuff in KoTKS, but really it's about as absurd as the Indian stuff in Temple of Doom 17-21. Never saw. 22. Aquaman isn't terrible, but Aquaman jokes are still funny. XD 23. I don't really like it per say, but it is a more than adequate explanation of Force ability. People tend to forget it's just a power-level gimmick to establish Anakin as the Chosen One - it's not actually the Force, just a way of measuring. 24-26. Never saw. 27. Most everything I'm seen him in has been good. 28-29. OK. 30. Agreed. People want him to not exist at this point, but if he didn't exist we wouldn't have Star Wars OR Indiana Jones. Sorry, can't hate a guy that made those two things. 31. They're OK, much more the Ewoks than Binks though. Jar Jar is just annoying after a while. 32. I liked it. What's wrong with popcorn movies? 33. Never saw. 34. I liked it myself, although I haven't seen the last two or the Burton films. 35. Agreed. Qui-Gon is one of the coolest parts of The Phantom Menace. 36. Um... OK. I liked all of them (Episode II is easily the worst and it still has a lot of great moments), but the only one on-par with the originals is Revenge of the Sith, and that is only on par with Return of the Jedi (which is a fantastic movie). I think the whole of the original trilogy (Episodes IV and especially Episode V) is superior to the whole of the sequel trilogy IMO. Bonus Kayru opinion 37. Never saw it, never will. I was disappointed enough with Spiderman 3 (and it wasn't that bad) after the first two (especially the second) are among my favorite movies ever), and I have no intention of having my memories of them ruined by a new, mediocre interpretation.

Rainbow Road 64 is a close 11th.

Amazing.

1-10. Dire Dire Docks http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uqcPSbkS9TQ Mario music is great but this is the best Mario song by far. -TN05

Alright, cool!

Great entry, I agree with you 100%.

There's been some, but it's been very subdued and passive-aggressive, and in less-visible venues. But like the angry Moocow said, I think you've misunderstand the thrust of this entry! Hm... I don't see any problem with the idea or group, personally. People have issues, and having like-minded people there to help can be, well, a lot of help. I may not agree 100% with what is going to promoted or argued, but I tend to see most attempts at civilly promoting positions as a net plus, and this is no exception. I didn't really understand the point of this entry in the first place, though, so yeah, I kind of didn't get the point. Oh well.

My friend code is 1177-7516-8313. Town name is Ericton, ID name is TN05.

I thought the tweet you posted implied there were negatively reacting people. *shrug*

As far as I can tell nobody has reacted hatefully, or even negatively, to the new group. Not sure what the issue here is.

Could you perhaps use a slightly longer piece to keep it from being stuck forever?

How do you get friend codes? I haven't found out how to do them in-game.

Animal Crossing: New Leaf is fantastic. My town, Ericton (before you ask, yes, my name is Eric and yes, I named the town after myself), is growing quite rapidly and it's all thanks to my beetle farming hard work and determination! I've already got three bridges, a fountain, and a two-story house with a basement coming tomorrow. I just love the way this game works - it almost seems like a sequel to both the first one (one of my favorite games of all time) and City Folk, because all of the features in them are either here or heavily improved upon. Town modifications are a natural progression from the first game's signboards and random bridge creations, and the more functional island and Main Street (which is what the city should have been like) bring out the best of both games. I know some people are going gaga over the addition of shoes and pants/dresses, but it's not a big deal to me - I've never really cared about accessories (aside from the Link costume in City Folk. That was pretty cool.). There is one minor fault with this, though - my brother found a beard and kaffiyeh at Able Sisters and the natural reaction was 'I'm going to be Moses!', but having a toga with pants was just weird and trying the toga as a dress looked really, really weird. So yeah, you can't really make a convincing Moses in this game, which is a shame cause Moses is freaking awesome to have as a costume in AC. Moses aside, I really like this game. It's as close as Animal Crossing has ever gotten to recreating the feel and experience of the first one, and that is pretty freaking awesome. For the record, here are how I would rank all the Animal Crossing games: 1. The original (the absolute best one, with so many features that it is just as fun to jump in today as it was in 2002) 2. New Leaf 3. City Folk (I know some people hate it, but I thought it was fun for a while) 4. Wild World (If you have New Leaf, you don't ever need to buy this game. It isn't bad, but it ripped out a lot of what made the first one so great.) -TN05

I want you to read very, very carefully what you just wrote there, because it's an inherent contradiction. You say that we are free to live our lives as we please, so long as it does not offend your sensibilities or notion of right or wrong. So long as we don't offend you, we are free to do as we wish. So long as we don't do the things you don't want us to do, we have your support. Do you not see how wrong that is? Can you not see how I am being dehumanized? Can you not see how I cannot live my life as a normal human being just because you don't like who I am? Why can't I celebrate the same things that you? Why am I not allowed to experience the joys of marriage just because I would choose to do so with a man. Why can't I experience life like a normal person just because I find girls just as cute as guys? Why do I not feel like a normal human being even though I know I am? Why am I stuck being a second class citizen? Do you not see the lunacy of it? Do you not see the madness? Do you not see how you are essentially saying, "I completely disagree with you as a person and who you are, but I still support you except for basic rights that everyone else enjoys." Do you not see it? You are delegating me to the closet. You are telling me to stay in there. You are telling me that you support me in everything I do, so long as you don't see it because you might be offended. You are not an ally. You are not helping us. Your message is not comforting. It does not make me feel good. It does not fill me with confidence. It does not make me feel normal. It does not make me feel like a human being. Whether you are willing to recognize it or not, Toa Nidhiki05, you are a part of the problem. I've never said any of that. I never said you can do whatever you want as long as it doesn't offend me, and I never said you should hide who you are if it offends me. I really, really don't know where you read that from my comment. You know what? I think you should be able to do whatever you want, even if I disagree with it. You should be able to live your live as you wish, just as I can live life the way I wish. As for the marriage thing, my stance on marriage is exactly what Barack Obama's was in 2008. It may not be 100% what you agree with, but it is far closer than you may think. That aside, your reaction really disappoints me. I'm suggesting everyone team up to stop oppressive regimes in the middle east from executing gay people. How is that not something we should and can work to end? Why focus only on the plight of gay people here? America is not the only place in the world. In virtually every middle-eastern country it is either a crime to be homosexual or you will be killed for it. I want that inhuman barbarity to end. If that's not enough for you, I don't know what is. If you don't want or accept the help of people who may not agree with you 100%, I doubt those problems will resolve any time soon, and that is a crying shame. All that does is spread the alienation between us, and that doesn't do anything to solve problems. Saying "there are worse problems in the world than what you're facing, so stop complaining about yours" is not exactly welcoming us with open arms. I never said that either. I said there are people dying because of who they are, and we need to work together to stop it. But you also used it as an excuse to say "See, I'm totally tolerant" while at the same time markedly refusing to be totally tolerant. It doesn't work like that. You cannot have your cake and eat it too. I never claimed anything about my 'tolerance' other than my personal view is that people of both sides should unite to end oppression.
