    But that would require effort, or rather, notably more effort than would in anyway be reasonable in my opinion.

    :sigh:

    I watch Game Grumps religiously. I feel like that Danny is actually better than Jon was. Jon was funnier, but I feel that Danny is the better grump out of the two. Both of them are still amazing people. Plus, his stories, personality and his life in general make me feel that he deserves the title of "Not so Grump"

    However, I went into a 3-Day depression when Jon left. And did not watch Grumps for at least a month until the Dennis the Menace episode. Then, everything changed...

    First of all, +5 respect points for the Breaking Bad gif.

    Second, I also watch religiously. It's probably the thing I anticipate the most everyday, and that's sorta sad, but I honestly don't care. I love me some mediocre Let's Plays by two amazing people who never fail to bring a smile to me face. Plus, Danny makes me feel funny...

    I honestly wasn't effected too much when Jon left, mostly because I got into Game Grumps a few months before his departure, and wasn't so emotionally attached to him by that point. However, now, I'm completely obsessed with him, and want to hug him forever. I will also admit the ending of the GG remix "Triforce Collab 2" has put tears in my eyes... To non-Grumps, it's just a collection of random, irritating noises, but to me, it's a beautiful symphony of good memories...

    Keep Grumpin'~

    I had been watching it since Day 1, and the first episode from memory was the start of the Goof Troop series. Since then, I always went to lie down in my bed at about 10:30 at night and watch the newest episodes on my Ipod through the Youtube app. I was hooked straight away, especially when they started Sonic 06. It's a shame that they never finished it, but Arin and Danny did say that they could be doing Sonic and the Black Knight sometime in the future. Jontron was the biggest reason I started my Movie Reviews on the site.

    I got to know two of my heroes on a personal level. Like how they always put a smile on my face, and considered them as two of the most influential people in my childhood. So when Jon did leave, I was heart broken. I never liked Steam Train, and I honestly don't find Ross very funny. Danny is special however.



    Keep being Grumpy :D

    I don't really care for Steam Train simply because most of the games they play don't interest me AT ALL, but I do love Ross. He's adorable. I just want to pinch his cheeks~!
    And yes, the Grumps are truly inspirational, despite their constant dick jokes and general immature discussions. They inspire happiness in my face :grin:

    Most of my Latino and black people who are struggling to get food, clothes and shelter in the hood are so concerned with that, that PHILOSOPHIZING about freedom and socialist democracy is usually unfortunately beyond their rationale. They don't realize that America can't exist without separating them from their identity, because if we had some sense of who we really are, there's no way in hell we'd allow this country to push it's genocidal consensus on our homelands. This ignorance exists, but it can be destroyed.

    Brothers talk about change and working within the system to achieve that. The problem with always being a conformist is that when you try to change the system from within, it's not you who changes the system; it's the system that will eventually change you. There is usually nothing wrong with compromise in a situation, but compromising yourself in a situation is another story completely, and I have seen this happen long enough in the few years that I've been alive to know that it's a serious problem. Latino America is a huge colony of countries whose presidents are cowards in the face of economic imperialism. You see, third world countries are rich places, abundant in resources, and many of these countries have the capacity to feed their starving people and the children we always see digging for food in trash on commercials. But plutocracies, in other words a government run by the rich such as this one and traditionally oppressive European states, force the third world into buying overpriced, unnecessary goods while exporting huge portions of their natural resources.

    I'm quite sure that people will look upon my attitude and sentiments and look for hypocrisy and hatred in my words. My revolution is born out of love for my people, not hatred for others.

    You see, most of Latinos are here because of the great inflation that was caused by American companies in Latin America. Aside from that, many are seeking a life away from the puppet democracies that were funded by the United States; places like El Salvador, Guatemala, Peru, Colombia, Nicaragua, Ecuador and Republica Dominicana, and not just Spanish-speaking countries either, but Haiti and Jamaica as well.

    As different as we have been taught to look at each other by colonial society, we are in the same struggle and until we realize that, we'll be fighting for scraps from the table of a system that has kept us subservient instead of being self-determined. And that's why we have no control over when the embargo will stop in Cuba, or when the bombs will stop dropping in Vieques.

    But you see, here in America the attitude that is fed to us is that outside of America there live lesser people. "**** them, let them fend for themselves." No, **** you, they are you. No matter how much you want to dye your hair blonde and put fake eyes in, or follow an anorexic standard of beauty, or no matter how many diamonds you buy from people who exploit your own brutally to get them, no matter what kind of car you drive or what kind of fancy clothes you put on, you will never be them. They're always gonna look at you as nothing but a little monkey. I'd rather be proud of what I am, rather than desperately trying to be something I'm really not, just to fit in. And whether we want to accept it or not, that's what this culture or lack of culture is feeding us.

    I want a better life for my family and for my children, but it doesn't have to be at the expense of millions of lives in my homeland. We're given the idea that if we didn't have these people to exploit then America wouldn't be rich enough to let us have these little petty material things in our lives and basic standards of living. No, that's wrong. It's the business giants and the government officials who make all the real money. We have whatever they kick down to us. My enemy is not the average white man, it's not the kid down the block or the kids I see on the street; my enemy is the white man I don't see: the people in the white house, the corporate monopoly owners, fake liberal politicians those are my enemies. The generals of the armies that are mostly conservatives those are the real Mother-******s that I need to bring it to, not the poor, broke country-ass soldier that's too stupid to know **** about the way things are set up.

    In fact, I have more in common with most working and middle-class white people than I do with most rich black and Latino people. As much as racism bleeds America, we need to understand that classism is the real issue. Many of us are in the same boat and it's sinking, while these bougie Mother-******s ride on a luxury liner, and as long as we keep fighting over kicking people out of the little boat we're all in, we're gonna miss an opportunity to gain a better standard of living as a whole.

    In other words, I don't want to escape the plantation I want to come back, free all my people, hang the Mother-****** that kept me there and burn the house to the god damn ground. I want to take over the encomienda and give it back to the people who work the land.

    You cannot change the past but you can make the future, and anyone who tells you different is a ****ing lethargic devil. I don't look at a few token Latinos and black people in the public eye as some type of achievement for my people as a whole. Most of those successful individuals are sell-outs and house Negros.

    But, I don't consider brothers a sell-out if they move out of the ghetto. Poverty has nothing to do with our people. It's not in our culture to be poor. That's only been the last 500 years of our history; look at the last 2000 years of our existence and what we brought to the world in terms of science, mathematics, agriculture and forms of government. You know the idea of a confederation of provinces where one federal government controls the states? The Europeans who came to this country stole that idea from the Iroquois LEAGUE. The idea of impeaching a ruler comes from an Aztec tradition. That's why Montezuma was stoned to death by his own people 'cause he represented the agenda of white Spaniards once he was captured, not the Aztec people who would become Mexicans.

    So in conclusion, I'm not gonna vote for anybody just 'cause they black or Latino they have to truly represent the community and represent what's good for all of us proletariat.

    Porque sino entonces te mando por el carajo cabron gusano hijo de puta, seramos libre pronto, viva la revolucion, VIVA LA REVOLUCION!

    ^Hmmm. That reminds me.

    Politics is just about as inane and pointless as religion.

    I second this point. Although religion does tend to make far more people happy than politics does, which in my opinion isn't even a good thing.

    I mean, whatever makes you happy makes you happy. As long as it's not harming anyone else, though, religious bigots tend to do that all the time, i.e. the Westboro Baptist Cult.

    You can be Religious and not be a bigot (Take my Pro-LGBT and Catholic Family) I don't think any of them make you Bigoted, you have to be bigoted then use it as an excuse in my opinion.

    I didn't say all religious people are bigots. I said that religious bigots are bigots.

    Bigots are Bigots to me. I don't care if you a Religious Zealot or Drug Induced "Liberal" bigotry is Bigotry. That was my point.

    In regards to Religious bigots I do enjoy telling others of my faith that they need to actually read the bible before joining the Conservative Parties. Jesus was one of the most Progressive Liberals in history
