Re: actually controversial opinions

mario, pokemon, and basically almost all nintendo games are for children and if you haven't stopped playing them by age 12 you're basically a manchild

[group of games] are for children

this is objective, not an opinion
and you're wrong

[group of games] are bad but i see why kids would like them -> i don't see why adults would like them -> i think these games are intended for kids -> these games are for kids

Pro tip for convos, just ask people a bunch of questions about them and seem interested in it and they'll be happy

If ur worried about looking like a fool during convo, ur talking to the wrong people imo

Some kids need to be left the fuck behind! If you aren't able to meet the standards for a certain grade level you shouldn't get to move to the next because it would hurt your feelings if not. These kids are seriously dumbing down our schools. Instead of teaching to the lowest denominator we need to teach to the highest and actually challenge children to learn.

this is a problem when public school districts are horrendously managed and funds are commonly misallocated then all the rich kids get sent to a boarding school or something instead

Cull the herd. Set the standard and remove all who fail to meet it.

Re: actually controversial opinions

none of that weak stuff

i love how the most debated opinion in this thread insofar has been "mario sucks"

anyone who drinks cheap beer is an ingrate who accepts mediocrity

i actively avoid major "breweries" if I can, I just happen to have an active stock of someones crappy budweisers in the basement fridge that I open and never finish because ewww

i don't even really like beer *that* much anyways but if I'm gonna drink it I want a good one.

Sega Genesis won the 16-bit war

no argument here I grew up on sega and don't really have any SNES games I LOVE off the top of my head. But Sonic 1 & 2 were my fuckin jam

i lived in the uae for a year where this was done and it didn't seem to raise the standard of education there. also most of the class wasn't progressing at the normal rate, and there were much fewer kids past the fifth grade

also, finland does this thing where they assist those who are struggling, and they have a much better education system than the states
