Full names this time:

This means you must kill Saber, Kay! Good luck...

I can share.

Lol, Ichigo puns.

It's not like he gets much more when you use his real name!

The canonical spelling is apparently 'Altria' actually, not Athuria. Arturia was the one most people went with. Altria Pendragon puts it at 99%, by the way.

I knew Saber x Shirou was best ship.

That pairing is nearly as boring as you.

And your taste is almost as bad as Noir's!

Wait, that implies bad things...

I'm curious, did you realize how insulting that could be towards you while writing it or only after?

After. >__<

Sorry Kay, you could never stand up to Saber.

I'm taller than her!

Hey, just actually read The Villain Makes the Plot's page and I have to ask, anyone else think there shouldn't be examples on the page? I mean, they all sort of state the obvious fact of "If this character didn't exist, the story wouldn't happen!" that would be true of basically any main character.

Lol, Kay.

Well, Villains Act, Heroes React doesn't have examples, but it does have that and others as subtropes and related tropes.

I wonder if certain people will stop being disgustingly, disrespectfully, disturbingly racist when Obama is no longer president. I would doubt it, but I also doubted I'd see a black president in my life, or at least this early in it.

I hate hate.

Racists gonna racist. I try to ignore the stupid scum as well as I can.

Also, what's so funny? :P

Atheist president is least likely to be elected.

I wonder how Obama can be both Muslim and Atheist at the same time, according to that deranged Conservapedia?

Your saying Noir has bad taste.

Because muslims don't believe in god, OBVIOUSLY. The same way someone can be for government that doesn't interfere with your lives, but tells you who to love etc.*

I think Biden had probably one of the best statements on religion of the entire campaign, during the Vice-Presidential debate. He and Ryan are both Catholic (I believe the only other catholic to make it to a/the top executive office was JFK), and so they were asked a question on how their faith influences their stance on abortion... 3:35 to 4:05

You realize Conservapedia is pretty much just trolls troling trolls who troll trolls at this point, right?

And yeah, the entire American conservative platform has been kinda confused for a while.

I need to tell Noir to check that post out next time I see her.

As far as the racism thing goes I wonder how many votes it really cost Obama? Racism is probably more common in Southern states and older voters who wouldn't have voted for him anyway. Those groups and areas tend to be the conservative ones.

^^ I had a professor who I think was nearly driven to tears to pulling her hair out at the contradictory things people want from their government.

And it's not like the vast majority of people are ever going to admit to any sort of racial bias in their voting.

Don't worry. Whenever Kay embarrasses herself it is very likely that I'm nearby.

As for the racism... on the one hand he is losing votes because of racism... on the other hand there are the people who vote for him because he is black.

Wander, is it true that Obama is both Fascist AND Anarchist?

Good to hear Noir.

I know people who have admitted that they wouldn't vote for Obama because he's black when I didn't give the impression I would condemn them for it. Ohio isn't exactly deep South or super conservative either.

True, but I'm not just talking about the number of votes or sources thereof. I'm talking about stuff like Romney damn near saying "wait your turn", or Governor Jan Brewer holding up her finger to him, or Congressman Joe Wilson shouting out "you lie!" during a presidential address, or Ann Coulter calling him a "retard", or all the "fraud, fake president, etc." comments, or everything Donald Trump does...

Look, Bush had some unnecessarily unkind things said about him. Including by me, and I regret that. I'm wiser now, and I can see he's still a person, and likely well-intentioned. And that guy throwing the shoes at him was way over the line. But this current atmosphere feels even more unsettling.

You're in Ohio? What's your record for back-to-back campaign ads seen? For me it's 5: 3 regarding the Duckworth/Walsh race, one regarding the Indiana senate race, and I think one by a Romney Super-PAC.
