Batman has his near, mentally-unstable paranoia about his enemies to help him find a way to destroy Tony Stark both as Iron-Man and as a businessman. Batman is so paranoid that he actually researched and created protocols on how to take down the A-list members of the Justice League just in case the League went rogue.

Professor X did the exact same thing with all of the most powerful mutants. they r called the xavier protocols he even did one on himself.

Well obviously Iron Man would be the logical choice considering his intelligence and rather immense power pool. But it's long been my habit of always siding with Batman in any versus contest as, no doubt due to his high standing in the canon of super heroes and the incredible love thrown his way by writers, Batman will always find a way to win...eventually. Always.

Personally I've always wanted a really well written Captain America vs. Batman fight as they seem very well matched against each other physically and mentally.

Religion can give people the motive to do horrible or kind things. science gives people the tools to do horrible or kind things. So pretty much its the people who decide in both cases

I haven't even heard of him at all, or heard his music. But it sucks that he died. and I got $500 that the cops won't solve this case just like all the other rappers that have been killed.

Then who would you blame?

[QUOTE="XilePrincess"][QUOTE="MoonMarvel"] Call the cops for what? That is going way over the line and I would be more likely to talk to you about your actions then theirs. They are not kids, I am sure they can handle themselves. Unless they get violent I see no reason to get involved.Pirate700

While I don't agree with racism, they do have the right to refuse service to anyone. Says that in any place of business in the US.

on a side note once a business reaches a certain size it has to make certain accommodations for the handicap.

People have done this many times before, and the result is always the same: The relationship gets very strained or dies. Not because the girl cheats, but because once she learns what you did she knows that you don't trust her. Girls don't like that, they get extremely pissed that you tried to set them up, and they get even more pissed that you don't trust them after "all this time we've been together". Needless to say don't be surprised when your girlfriend calls you an ******, breaks up with you, and storms out the door to tell her friends what an ****** you are.

I agree, it's low and insulting. But doesn't it say something if she takes the bait? She wouldn't exactly be in the best place to cast the first stone, set up or not.

i double agree nothing ruins a relationship faster than one partner not trusting the other, whether it is warranted or not.

The issue if that if he does it and finds her cheating, then great, he caught her before things got serious and now the relationship is over. However, if he does it and doesn't find her cheating, then the relationship is over anyway because she's not going to stick around with a guy who's so paranoid that he tried to get his best friend to have sex with his girlfriend. It's a lose/lose situation.

i think the main reason is because we r a western country and we tend to focus on events that effect other western countries. same reason r history classes have such a strong bent towards european history as oppossed to eastern.

i kinda agree with this. my history textbook mentioned the terrible things japanese army did to chinese people and their prisoners, but they never had too much in detail compared to the holocaust which takes up at least a whole section. This might be because the Americans played a larger role in the war crimes and stuff, but im not sure about that. However, it might be that since America needed to be all buddy buddy with japan before communists take over all of asia, this genocide was not brought up as much as it should have after the late fifties. America also never went INTO China to see all the death camps/ dead people (i dont think, not sure, they might have), and with China becoming hostile to the US along with the civil war that almost started right up again after the wwii, maybe the genocide just took a backseat to other political problems.

i think these r the two main reasons right here. not only is there the bias we have for cultures we feel we have more in common with, but also the political landscape of the time japan quickly became an ally and china became an "enemy"

i think the main reason is because we r a western country and we tend to focus on events that effect other western countries. same reason r history classes have such a strong bent towards european history as oppossed to eastern.

it happens way less often than people think ,and when it does happen its usually fighting between gangs as punishment. the paranoia behind it might be american but the act is not.
