If ever I get banned,
Yours will be the doorstep,
Toward which I shuffle,
Hat in hand.

Sorry, not enough oomph in the ol' brain to bust out a haiku.

Try making a purchasing decision between Pokemon Black or White.

You almost end up buying both on a moral basis.

Well, I think the Pokemon/racism line has already been crossed.

Which one has Mankey?

The originals... same as Jynx.

You don't like Stan much do you?

Stan's ability to moderator doesn't move outside of this forum area. He can't unban anyone.

How am I supposed to know that? You should give him more power!

Anyone notice the word "ability" in there, instead of "jurisdiction"?

Then that's what you buy.

A Pokemon game without Mankey ain't no Pokemon game.

My grammar is awful. Leave me alone!

*runs off crying.... again...*

East Asia has a really weird thing with people of African or Caribbean descent. I had a person on a subway in Seoul try to convince me that I was black because I have curly hair. Mind you, I'm so damned pasty, I make Kate Moss look like Angela Bassett. They have so little direct experience with black people, it's almost like they have to latch on to whatever bits of information happen to be floating around the global cultural psyche (however horrifyingly sterotypical and cringe-inducing they might appear to Westerners).

My experience with East Asians (particularly folk from mainland China) is that racism isn't really a "thing" to them, in that there isn't that sense of taboo/uncomfortable feeling when talking about qualities of another race.

Again, just my experience.

If I get banned, I'm gonna turn to the mod who I have on speed text =P
