At this stage of the game: a forum dedicated to a 14 year old game some people are going to pretend that new user accounts, unlinked to game accounts, that post in the subsection responsible for bans aren't sock accounts???

How about that statement by Meredith McIver?
"In working with Melania Trump on her recent First Lady speech, we discussed many people who inspired her and messages she wanted to share with the American people. A person she has always liked is Michelle Obama...."
Can't wait for the pitchforks!

That was obvious from day 1, so why bother denying it and quoting My Little Pony?

If you're going to quote someone you like, the customary thing to do is say that before you make a statement that could be construed as plagiarism. But then again she'd probably be bottled off the stage if she dare evoke anything Obama.

At least Herman Cain finally just said his quote was from Pokemon 2000. After trying to pass it off as a famous poet. I know when I have a big speech I'm going to say
As a famous Egyptian Pharoah once said: "Believe in the heart of the cards and they will never fail you."

I personally find it to be incredibly ignorant for anyone to feel antipathy toward the First Lady. I maintain that I just don't give a good gob damn about Ms. Trump's speech, nor Michelle's before her.
If Hilldawg wins and Bill starts giving speeches, that's a little different, but not because he's a dude, because he's a former POTUS and should probably refrain from trying to dictate too much of anything.

The only famous Egyptian I know of:
Obama once said "There's not a liberal America and a conservative America - there's the United States of America."
Then we all had a good laugh.

Obama and especially Biden have been caught copying parts of speeches without attributing the original writer. It's bad form but nothing new.
I don't particularly like the First Lady, but I don't see why it would be a problem for Melania to like her. Furthermore, I could easily pull tidbits from speeches by Republicans/Democrats, ask if people from the opposing parties agree with them, then shout "Booyah!" in their face as I reveal it was from someone they don't like. Political speeches are often contain non-partisan platitudes that are agreeable to nearly everyone.
On that same thought, I don't disagree with everything Obama says, I disagree with everything stupid that Barack Obama says. What remains is fine, and some of it is even worth repeating. To think that everything someone says is wrong just because you don't like them is ridiculous and shallow.

I was about to say, the mods can see more than we can.
It's this type of similar thinking that's dangerous. Especially when bias is put into decision making. Lenin and then Stalin and Mao and Hitler depended on the belief of what you just said.
Just change Mod to Government

Well, if they would just stop trying to make FFXIAH compatible with the PS2 then we wouldn't have these kinds of problem.

First they came for the Puppetmasters, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Puppetmaster.
Then they came for the Flame Core, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Flame Core.
Then they came for the sock accounts, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a sock accounts.
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

It's more along the lines that there members of the right that completely disregard and disrespect you if you acknowledge the Obamas as anything but vile.
In other news there was a 3 way throw down outside the RNC between the KKK, BLM and the Weatboro Baptist church.

Westboro*
Quote: US TV network NBC is cutting ties with Donald Trump over "recent derogatory statements" that the veteran businessman made about immigrants.
NBC said the company would now not be airing the Miss USA and Miss Universe pageants that are co-owned by Mr Trump.
Responding to the announcement, Mr Trump said he would consider suing NBC.
Earlier this month, he accused Mexicans of adding drugs and crime to the US as he announced he was seeking the Republican presidential nomination.
"They're bringing drugs, they're bringing crime, they're rapists, and some I assume are good people, but I speak to border guards, and they tell us what we are getting," he said in his speech on 16 June.
He also pledged to build a "great wall" on the US border with Mexico and insisted it would be paid for by Mexicans.
He later insisted he was criticising US lawmakers, not Mexican people. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-33321290
I'm honestly surprised with some of the shit he says. Even though I probably shouldn't be.
