Sorry to get back to this, but what kind of shitty power is heart anyway? I hated that cartoon. Haaaaaated. The worse is that, as a kid, I did not fully understand what was so bad about it, so I kept watching waiting for something good to happen. Maybe Captain Planet is solely responsible for people not giving a shit to the environment nowadays. MeleeMonk - That reminds me of the Mega Man cartoon: deceptively great intro, awful... everything else. Maybe that's why, as a kid, I tried so much to like those shows: the intros were misleading me.

Balder Regarding Regan, let me put it this way: how would you like it if the person in charge of your country refused to raise the minimum wage their entire time in office? That was a strict Regan policy. His 8 year presidency was, from what I've heard, the only presidency where the minimum wage was not raised once. By the end of his term, you couldn't even buy a decent hamburger with an hour's worth of minimum wage labor. Then there's the bullshit that all American republicans support, such as having no universal healthcare system, weak gun laws, etc. and it's easy to see why ultra-conservatives are responsible for making America the laughing stock of the world.

Cervantes Just watched that Mega Man TV intro on Youtube now for the first time and HOLY CRAP that animation is freaking awesome! Even despite the dopey redesign of Mega Man it's still really impressive. It makes you wonder why there was never an official Mega Man anime, and why this was made instead.

MeleeMonk - You get all pumped up by the awesome rock music, by all the explosions, fighting scenes, weapons (even Roll's stupid vacuum cleaner looks awesome in the intro), the images of Mega Man being powered up, Rush intercepting an attack, one enemy being dismembered and the other burned to a crisp, Wily looking like a magnificent bastard... Then you get to the actual show and it's all downhill from there. For anyone not understanding what we are talking about, here it is in all its glory: Sorry for the derail, everyone.

What if I told you there is no unicersal minimum wage in Norway? There exist minimum wage for people who are organized, but not all people are organized, so the manager decides their pay.

Yeah, things are so terrible here. Everyone laughs at us. Meanwhile, in Venezuela, children fight each other with machetes over the rights to pick though good garbage. Why can’t we be more like them? You know who else failed to raise the minimum wage? Obama. You know why our healthcare system is the way it is now? Obama. Man those conservatives are really something else...

Minimum wage should be zero, and it started mainly for racist reasons (unions not wanting to hire blacks). and it's "Reagan"

On a side know, will you please tell me how to save images on google images to my downloads? There was some kind of change google made to their browser a few months back and I haven't been able to figure out how to save images since. I need to know so I can start posting images to this board again.

Isn't that what the 80s is about though, bad sequels? True, but they're usually off of better movies that were also released in the 80s. Dan E. Kool I think what makes this different is that some of the younger kids are in on it too. I highly doubt the people who came up with stuff like vaporwave actually grew up in the 80s. I'll admit that I'm not up to date on what the kids are doing these days.
