RTS CNG Command

Is Ftrainfan still here? Not sure.

Ftrainfan retired from here several months ago.

Oh ok thanks. I was wondering why I haven't seen him around lol.

^THANK YOU! The one thing that I've noticed on here and elsewhere as of late is that people get offended by shit they clearly don't understand and make up some kind of terminology to make it seem more offensive than it is. The term is mostly (and only) used when someone gets their feelings hurt over something so incredibly stupid like video games or a common thing on here, foamer flame wars.

To add on top of that, I can't understand how it strictly correlates to anything of the gay matter, unless of course, said persons don't like women, but that's another story. The term itself has never been used as a homophobic slur of any kind because to use it as one would make no sense at all. People need to stop being so bloody sensitive about dumb things like this, straight up.

@MHV, Cait: In a way, yes, because that slur objectifies people in such a sick and offensive manner since its inception in the 1990s. Words aren't just words. They dispel or enforce specific kinds of culture. Plus, "butthurt" carries a "Godwin's Law" effect: use it, and you automatically conceded your own opinion.

Don't merely take my word for it. Just like Persephone Magazine, Gawker explains it well, too: http://gawker.com/5965417/on-butthurt

it won't let people comment unless you change over

It's already that bad... https://www.change.org/petitions/google-change-the-youtube-comment-section-back-to-its-original-form . (I would have done it but i'm not giving all those personal details).

and now your comment notifications get sent your gmail account not directly to your youtube

...won't get caught, and then it repeats itself. Old habits die hard. If you genuinely don't have enough, that's understandable.

BTW, even people who are poor try to do this as well on the bus (just pay a few cents or even a dollar short of the fare, and then tell the B/O). Eventually, some B/O's catch on and warn the person. Sometimes they won't even let them on.

People need to get their priorities in check. The problem is that people's priorities are with things they can hardly afford. And when it involves things they can afford(bus/train fare, food, ect), they wanna act broke.

lol... There's a white guy that does this. Would try to get the express bus without paying. Even asked me for a dip. Looked at him like he was crazy. I now see him taking the local bus. Likely trying the same crap. The B/O's on the express don't allow it, so he has no choice but to try the local. Surely he has the money but why pay if you can get on for free? That's the way folks do things these days... Let someone else pay for your expenses.

* hispanics notion.... It's all bullshit...

with that said, romney is no more of a so-called devil than obama is.... all politicians are god damn crooks one way or another & are only out for their self-image....

^ Eh, I like to play the anti-establishment man myself, but sometimes it just becomes an issue of whether or not it hurts your country if you don't vote, and this an election where people really, really gotta vote. Romney/Ryan gets in office, that's gonna be a bad scene.

except I'm not playing.

well you know I can draw furry art quite well as well

And you do a damn great job drawing it, too. ^^

We're still fighting the good Obama fight here...don't you forget it!

also if they are offended go after any team who has an "indian" themed name

Damn this status reeks of endless bitching and flaming.

There was an ad hominem, but I don't see flaming. It's a subject I've become a bit passionate about. LOL!

And there won't be any more conversation in this status tonight. Consider it closed.

-1000000000

yeah and solar energy shell companies is the answer...

It isn't the answer, but it's definitely a great one. Oil isn't aplenty these days, while solar, water, and wind are great alternates. There's a lot to explore scientifically with them, and we're not taking full advantage of them.

@Joel: CN has plenty of objectively good shows in their lineup, including Gumball, Adventure Time, and Steven Universe.

Oh, and We Bare Bears, too.

Watch this:

meh. fine. you don't hear me complaining about msnbc either. i mean letting al sharpton get his own show, really?

As stated in Peacemak3rs status, I don't really follow mainstream news outlets, and don't see the appeal anymore in this age.

No one, regardless of idealogy, is as extreme as FOX, though the Huffington Post is shaping up to be the liberal extreme.

That's what makes America great. We've become a country that focuses too much on attacking "the other" on both sides.

There's absolutely a difference between the alt-right rallies and counter-protests. The Unite the Right and other white supremacist rallies are designed INTENTIONALLY to oppress minorities, people of color, the LGBT, religious minorities, and many others. The counter-protestors were victims of terrorist attacks; they were completely in the right.

[ on that Trump is right. ]

Trump is objectively wrong, and you, Via, are objectively wrong by sucking up to this racist. The "both sides" schlock is a major false equivalence that whitewashes the Charlottesville terror attacks and supports the neo-Nazis' causes. The Unite the Right rally was menacing, threatening, and called for the death of racial, sexual, and religious minorities.

And also, don't try to steer the topic away from gay rights... You're saying the federal government shouldn't be involved in civil rights... which is asinine of itself... I apologize to RTS for making his status into a political debate, but some things need to be said.

It's not "civil rights" in everyone's opinion. People (including myself) believe marriage is between a man and a woman (however I do not care if the states allow same-sex marriage) and allowing the states to decide is a win-win for everyone. Places where the people want it can have it, and where the people don't want it let them not allow/ban it. Like it or not, this country is divided and that's not gonna change, hell that's what makes this great nation so great....

...*cont'd* You libs have to stop trying to force your agenda on everyone.

I would settle to raise the minimum wage to $10.00 at best for now

You think unemployment is high now, outsourcing is at a high, & that some workers have an array of duties that have jack squat to do with the position they're getting paid for now....

...haha, raise minimum wage to some $10-20 bucks an hour !

I dig it.

Have fun!

Do you have to be part of TTMG to join?

No. I'm not one, either, and I've joined them on several occasions.

And they're not really distractions, either.

Agreed on all of the above. I honestly don't think he'll serve his full term. The GOP doesn't like him, but getting behind him was the only way to get what they wanted. Once they get that, deuces to Trump, and they bring Pence in.

Transit improvements are the least of our worries at the moment.

Also they've added too many characters and dumped the older character: duck to oliver as if they never exisited because they wanted female engines. Wtf?

Series 17 brought back Duck in Henry's Hero and (as a main character) The Thomas Way.

Oh well, too little too late. I watched some of the reruns but i refuse to watch the show in cgi. It was bad enough they used some cgi in the final season when they used actual train models.

@Cait: One of the big reasons why Fighting Is Magic didn't get a lot of donations was because it was basically disqualified from the running. As a result, the donations dropped.

@Cait: One of the big reasons why Fighting Is Magic didn't get a lot of overall donations was because it was basically disqualified from the running. At one point, it actually was neck-in-neck with several other games. But after it got "DQ'd," the donations dropped.

It was protested against, I forgot exactly from who/what group. There was an article about it.

@Grand: You didn't pay full attention to what he said. He made it very clear that their security and deaths were his responsibility. And, yes, while it is fair game, there is a time to know what to use to gain the vote and vice-versa. Using their deaths to achieve a political gain (hell, even the IDEA of it) is completely low.

And I agree with that as well, but I dunno who in Obama's administration kept stating it was all because of a video. It looks more like a coordinated attack based on the 9/11 anniversary. As for the death issue, yes Romney needs to drop it and move on to the other topics, just like Obama needs to drop the Big Bird nonsense.

He mentioned Big Bird once, I don't think he was as pressing about it as Romney was about the Libya issue.

The new trend is not really dancing. It's just a large group of folks being random, you can make this new trend with all kinds of stuff.

For example

Finally you notice

@Quill: Noticed the meme for some time and the original dance a few days ago, to be exact.

Ah, lol smh...

Lance Armstrong, just like all the others

Lol, read my mind. I was just saying the other day that I think Lance was his fake girlfriend...

Nationalism not globalism!

@Goji... and you know what kills me about so called "liberals"? A lot of them are closeted racists. They say the right things in public but in secret it's a whole different story.

@VG8 Agreed.

@IRT: How far have the signage become. It used to be merely flipdots and Horizons. Now we have a wide variety that works so well!

I may consider developing my own set of fantasy letterforms someday!

Damn.

Awesome!

@Orion: BronyCon ain't the lone brony convention. There have been several throughout the country and Canada over the past year. BronyCon's the biggest of the bunch. This will be the second BronyCon this year.

If you want to know how big the fandom has become, point to BronyCon's growing attendance. The first one was small, but the second drew 300 people. The BronyCon this winter had over 700 people attending, forcing the team to relocate the convention to the Meadowlands. It's possible we'll see about 4,000 people attending the two-day event.

oooh.... ahhh.. shiny, precious, over 9000...

I tell you this though, the majority of kids will start to whine if and when they start to receive negative votes. I'm for one for this.

Let them whine, it's about thinking before they post.

@Cait Sith, I got the popcorn ready for the scene to unfold.

Romney better win...

*glares at Paul Ryan* I hope not.

Romney smoked him last night.
