No, that is what I'd regard as a straw man. Good for scaring off birds, not so great for political discourse. But if we want to assign pokemon traits to political groups, what would work for the conservative folks... Ooh, maybe Tauros! The whole whipping itself into a frenzy with no actual outside threat seems like a good fit. Nah, maybe slowpoke... Eh to easy. |

That's not the worst. First one I found was a Zubat in Silver, only had three balls and it broke out of all three. God I'm old... And a nerd... I'm and old nerd? Now I'm a depressed old nerd. :-/ Ahh well, where did I put that 3DS. |

Trump needs to focus more so on the male vote. He should have nationalized the Boy Scouts when they decided to admit girls. Harambe4Trump AKA "FASHY" | |

Ouch. At what point are you considered an "old nerd"? Nothing wrong with that anyways. Also, if you care, they have cards at GameStop this month so you can redeem Darkrai in-game. |

Old is when you talk to a coworker about a show that was massively popular when you where a teenager and you get a blank look back because they where in diapers at the time. Not that that happened to me... Today. Darkrai you say... Damn it, this is making me want to get the ruby/saphire remakes. I told myself I wasn't getting another pokemon game till they made some actual innovation... But... Darkrai!

Works in X and Y as well. I suppose that depends on who you hang around with and what you watch. Oh! Pokémon Sun and Moon is coming out this fall too. Edited by Freaks, May 5 2016, 12:56 AM.

I'll second that. I've only got two things I keep up with in the news, politics in general and video games. Be nice to have discussions here for it. Besides, it'd be fun to have a serious policy discussion devolve into a challenge to duel in Dark souls 3 every now and then!

I have no idea what a triggly-puff is, even after looking it up. But if it is meant to describe a tantrum then it's the Tea Party. And its been that way long before this girl got into college. |

Back in 2003 when I was teaching I mentioned as an example for some lesson the movie "Animal House". It drew a complete blank from every student in the class. I was stunned. |

The Group Tantrum Party formed shortly after the election of a liberal President seven years ago. They have lived up to that moniker making the Conservative Congress the least productive in history beating their old Conservative record for history's least productive Congress from the year before and on the Hill they continue their conservative tantrums right through the selection of a Supreme Court nominee. You can't dispute it, you can't deny it and you can't pin it on the opposition just because you want to pretend that modern day conservatism represents a mature and adult movement. |

I love reducing you to silly memes. Clearly your spin on the White Flag. |
