You still are not addressing the fact that people here were not applauding Cain. If anything, they are happy about the Pokemon exposure, intended or not. You didn't even post a quote to illustrate your point before calling us all "stupid Americans", ----which makes me think you are just trolling.

(not that I personally disagree with you about Cain's politics....)


Do you have to be so sensitive that anytime anyone says anything negative about Americans, they are talking about you in particular? Also calling me a troll, you must have a really limited debate tool box if that's the first thing you go to.

Examples in this thread:

Quote:
Look, the guy has grandchildren. I think a pretty significant number of grandfathers out there have ended up taking their grandkids to Pokemon movies...

So honestly I find it kind of endearing. Especially since he's finally quit

i have no issue with this.

To be fair, the same thing can be said about any country, so it's not really the greatest thing to say. (Glass houses and whatnot)

Lol, are you shitting me dude? You specifically opened by saying "Are anime fans just stupid?" And now you're gonna flail around and try to play the "I wasn't talking about you guys in particular" card? Rolling Eyes

As a poet once said, "I are in your bases, stealing your votes".

{sniff} That poem always brings a tear to my eye.

I was referring to the Americans that supported Cain mostly or took him seriously, but ok. But sure if you want to think I was trashing all anime fans go ahead. Maybe I should talk some trash about Canadians, and how they don't have the freedom of speech and have sent people to jail for manga. That's one thing America has over your country for sure.

Lol. You're not very good at this. You're not going to make anyone mad if you just admit that you're a troll. Laughing

Nah, not sensitive at all. And as for calling you a troll, I'm only stating the obvious. "Debate toolbox"? Seriously? What use is a hammer on a doorknob. LOL.

These examples are inconclusive as belonging to Cain supporters. Try again. Rolling Eyes

At least he didn't use something from the first movie. Hoo boy, that would have been embarrassing!

"I'll take a state. And eat it!"

"I mustn't run in May!"

"Jiggly...puff..." okay, I'm bored.

Everyone was just playing around, dude. You obviously can't even tell when people are serious or not. And no she wasn't being 'sensitive'. Why would you say "stupid American's" on this post without talking about everyone here in particular? Everyone was having a good laugh. YOU'RE the one who's too sensitive.

You can't debate anything. I've really never seen you do it at this forum. And the regulars in this place are always crying "troll!" anytime anyone rocks the boat here with an opinion that doesn't fit in with their own. Pretty much the hallmark of a crappy forum that is dwindling in popularity.

Let's try and keep this to the topic of Cain quoting Pokemon. It's becoming a bit too generally political and people are getting fired up in general. Also, let's keep in mind that simply having a different opinion than the perceived majority does not make one a troll, and if you feel someone is a troll then report them as such instead of name-calling and twisting the thread down another road.

Sunday Silence: What about his special attacks? Such as off the wall phrases that more often than not are quite comedic?

Or what about his pizza power? Since there is Pika power, than naturally there must be pizza power.

There actually is a song that (politely) mentions a presidents name, but due to the some of the language in several parts of this song, I am going to post it. But I will say it's from youtube and the author is Brentalfloss.

I'd go for the traditional "Cain used HARDEN" joke, but then again.....

I'll be frank, because of this instance that joke was hilarious, but otherwise, it's slowly becoming a tired joke much like the Comcast jokes and Microsoft Cloud jokes.

Hilarious at one point, but like the Rick Roll joke, eventually it's no longer funny and more annoying than anything else.
