I would think that Cultural Appropriation only matters in places where the culture that's being appropriated is otherwise ignored and not given credit.

No. Sorry but I can't be making compromises. ALWAYS ACCEPTABLE. Always open to criticism, but always acceptable to do without any kind of censure. You make an exemption here and an exemption there, and before you know it we're right where we started, with a white hippy lad being accosted and threatened to having his dreadlocks cut off. There are no Golden Calves. You can wear what you want, look how you want, eat what you want etc. regardless of who you are and where the thing you're doing originated from.
You can hate people for doing it, and not invite them to your birthday party. But they always get to do it. ALWAYS.
For example, complaints that "Elvis Presley stole rock-and-roll from the blacks" only make sense when black people are generally otherwise mistreated in that society and no one wants to look into where "rock-and-roll" comes from. Its the "They did nothing for us" and "ignore them" salt in the "They're not people" wound.

Elvis went out of his way to credit African Americans for the music he played. He even refused to call himself the King Of Rock And Roll, pointing out that title actually belonged to black musician Fats Domino. Truth be told he's probably the reason I reached this conclusion. It's a rigged game, so don't play. People are gonna hate you anyway, don't let their hate have power over you.

Worst case sceneraio someone starts doing an act from another culture and doesn't credit said culture. But even then, the recourse is to expose them, not deny them the ability to do it. (Then there's literally plagerising someone elses' work but that's the difference between killing someone in self-defense and murder, one's a crime one isn't. I'm not counting that as Cult-App).

You know Michael Flatley, the Lord of the Dance guy? He's a yank. We never complained.

You should try some, it doesn't taste anything like cheese if that's what you're thinking(at least not to me anyway).

Dark Souls (one, can't speak for the others) relied to heavily on glitches and hidden stuff (illusory walls, enough said) instead of actually attempting to be challenging.


I'm currently on Dark Souls III and have no clue what you mean. If anything I would criticize it for relying too much on doing rolls.

Okay here it goes ;

I hated the Hunger games; books movies, whatever.

I think we should legalize pot and hallucinogenics, but try banning tobacco and alcohol once more.

I think MRA's make some extremely valid points.

I think we should keep an open mind about neo-malthusianism.

(I am going to vote for Jill Stein because I think she would be the best choice for president, but) I think Trump would be a better president than Hillary would be. And...

I like Nicholas Maduro, and think he should be given a chance because he's doing the best he can with a shitty hand.

Libertarian-ism is a pretentious political fashion statement by nuts and douche-bags and that anyone who admits to being one should be forced by the state to either read the works of Mark Ames or be exiled to southern Somalia.

I don't know that it would reduce crime or even help an iota but feel that yeah, we should actually confiscate gun owners guns unless they can demonstrate a need to hunt, or protect themselves from a crazy ex/stalker/whatever.

I think we should force student lenders to forgive most debt unless the person majored in complete bullshit (American/Ethnic/Gender Studies or Art history, or something) and cannot give a decent reason as to why, at which point they should keep their debt and be forced by the state into one of the trades (steamfitting, Boilermaking, Ironworking) or put into prison.

I feel that the State should just expropriate sans compensation certain industries such as WWE and Bombardier.

We need to at least discuss the concept of a mandatory death age, YES actual death panels.

Stephen Colbert and the Daily show suck now, and should just be let to die.

I think for some petty crimes we should implement caning/flogging.

Grapefruits are awesome and peaches are overrated.

I like Roose Bolton.

I feel we should have compulsory limits on Daily Data and Internet usage.

Most anime sucks

My little Pony is just not a good show.

Neither is Downton Abbey....

Or mad men...

But Jersey Shore was pretty good.

And in closing, I feel that the following in Song of Ice and Fire should happen;
For Daenerys and Jon Snow to die saving the kingdom.
For Stannis to get the Iron Throne while marrying Margaery Tyrell
Walder Frey to die peacefully the way Tyrion described in the first book to teach us a life lesson about bad people getting away with shit. Speaking of which...
Roose Bolton should live as should Fat Walda. And everything works out for them. Ramsay dies and all, but in an anticlimactic fashion.
Littlefinger is spared but has to take the black.
Bran is stuck up North, Rickon dies, Arya comes back but loses out on revenge, and Sansa never returns home but just stays in the Vale married to Harry Hardyng after killing.
Dorne gets decimated fighting a stupid war instigated by the Sand Snakes.

And that limit should be 605kB. That's a 56kb/s connection running continuously for a day, and if it was good enough for 1996, it should be good enough for 2016.

I cannot accept receiving just one thumb per day, PSTN. No way.

I said nothing when people were upvoting you for being okay with unwanted child murder, but 605kB/day data cap?!? You all have gone mad!

There is nothing wrong with a dessert that tastes like cheese. Künefe is amazing.

Damn it guys, this is exactly what FOX news thinks millennials are.

Literal babykilling? - Let's not jump to conclusions. There's surely a reasoned debate to be had.

605kb/day internet cap? - Hitler.
