This just in:
Not only does Desty not think Mayweather vs Pacquiao was a bigger fight then this (everybody knows mcgregor is doomed) he also thinks that the snooze fest was INTERESTING. Wrong. This is the first time that a major boxing name is going to fight a major MMA fighter. You may not like it but its history in the making and will probably influence more fights like this in the future.
They walked in circles afraid to make a move on each other for twelve rounds, and made more than any other event in history, so no matter how you approach this, you're wrong.
Wrong again. How did they walk in circles afraid to hit each other if Mayweather ended up landing WAY more punches than Pacquiao? The strategy in boxing isn't to just stand there and take punches like most casual watchers believe. You gotta move around the ring, tire out your opponent, and strike when they're vulnerable. Mayweather is the best one in the business at doing that and because of that he has victories over guys like De La Hoya, Hatton, Judah, Gatti, Mosley, and Marquez... all legendary boxing names. A lot of people tend to forget that most of Mayweather's victories are from KO. Plus Mayweather is a welterweight and the guys in that weight class can pretty much box forever without getting tired.
They were of course, contractually obligated to trade blows, but that fight was fuckin boring.
Anyway, Boxer vs MMA fighter is the same shit they did with Rocky vs Hulk Hogan.
It just means they've run out of ideas.
Frankly I don't think this fight should happen anymore than the Patriots should play Manchester United.
Oh boohoo, the fight didn't turn into a slugfest so someone who knows as much about fighting as a 13 year old couldn't appreciate the finer parts of the fight. You should ask for a refund
Anyway, boxer vs MMA fighter doesn't, and SHOULDN'T happen, because mma has boxing in it, but instead of sharpening their moves and developing their boxing alone, they have to train in two other forms of fighting, and then they have to use styles that incorporates all those martial art forms. This means that they train to use their body, whereas a boxer trains to punch and punch only.
It's the same type of training, but boxers just have more time practicing. For this reason MMA vs boxer doesn't make sense. It's not an MMA fighter vs a boxer, it's a well known MMA fighter that goes into the ring as a boxer vs a world start boxer. The only reason this fight happened was because reporters and fans wanted it so much they kept hyping it up or talking about it for a year.
The fight doesn't make sense, but it's still bigger than Floyd vs Manny. If you still don't think so, you seriously need a chin check
Nothing is going to change the fact that you'd be lucky to make bantamweight, tough guy.
You think too much with your television set if you believe that MMA fighters and Boxers train the same way.
Go study martial arts for a few years, bring back some gold medals, and then I might entertain the idea that we're peers.
What the fuck are you talking about? I'd be lucky to make bantamweight? Why?
and no, I never said that MMA fighters and Boxers train the same way. I just said they practice the same form of punching.
Everybody knows you're a scrawny kid. It's the same type of training, but boxers just have more time practicing. oh yeah, you never said anything like that.

the desired hex value for the grey is 252526, if i'm not mistaken
actually the site has a very slight transparency, so no matter what that's a shit option.
Entering random letters will break the element in CSS and allow true transparency, including to all people using custom CSS.

But you're not factoring in the fact that Superman has god like powers
A normal man who made a bad call can be brought to justice
But who's there to stop Superman except himself?
Okay, this is assuming Supes killing an enemy was a bad call. Why? There are loads of godlike villains in DC that would be justified in being killed. The assumption is that the JL are generally strong enough to stop the bad guy without having to kill him. But even if Superman fucked up, like in Injustice, pretty much everyone else on the JL could go toe to toe with him: Wonder Woman, Flash, Martian Manhunter, Green Lantern, Doctor Fate, Atom, Shazam...all of them could each hold their own, and combined it wouldn't even be a challenge. The idea that Superman is an unstoppable god is just bad writing and power creep.
Superman has the potential to become a god, and even gods fear him. However, it is very unlikely that he would have the time to absorb enough energy to become powerful enough to defeat them all. In fact, I'd say that without seeking out a Blue Sun and charging for at least a full day, the Martian Manhunter and Captain Atom could handily defeat him just between the two of them.

He's been really sick over the course of the last year, off and on.
I told him he's been sick an unusual number of times and needed to see a doctor.
Finally a few days ago he went to the ER and they checked him in to the hospital.
Apparently he needs to have his gallbladder removed before it causes pancreatic complications, which could lead to cancer, diabetes, or death.
My sister didn't tell me until today, and she wouldn't have if I hadn't been trying to get a hold of him aand asked her if she had heard from him.

Super man is suppose to be hella American
A single man deciding who should live and die without trial reeks of dictatorship
Command by Negation
When a police officer kills a criminal in a shootout, is it dictatorship? When generals delineate who can and can't be killed in war through rules of engagement, is it dictatorship when some Private in Iraq kills a guy shooting back at him? The whole concept that Supes is somehow usurping the proper system of justice is ridiculous in the context of a comic world where the Justice League is literally an independent arm of western law and order. It's assumed that they have the authority to impose punishment as they deem appropriate.
OT: it's lazy writing now that it's been established that killing is the ultimate no-no in the DC world. The TV show Arrow actually recently recreated the scene with Green Arrow and Prometheus (holding a hostage, just like Zod), and they wrote a way for Oliver to not kill Prometheus but still save the hostage.
And on another note, this wouldn't even be a big discussion if comics in the last 20 years hadn't devolved into hyper-exaggerated grimdark fantasies where even benign villains are murdering psychopaths.
But you're not factoring in the fact that Superman has god like powers
A normal man who made a bad call can be brought to justice
But who's there to stop Superman except himself?
The Justice League (mainly just Batman) recognizes the danger of the Justice League
That's why they never interfere with political affairs
It would be really easy for them to just make every country in the world America
I think you're not factoring in that there are villains with god-like powers. Plenty are peers to the Man of Steel.

I believe the no-character doesn't work on this forum. Also, the correct tag to use is the italics tag. I also didn't have to change the font to times new roman, or the color to background grey. I did these things because I wanted to, and I always do what I want.

Of course not. Restraint and self imposed limits are integral to his character. Alan Moore even had him give up his powers and title as soon as he killed Mr. Mxyzptlk at the end of the Silver Age, because he stopped being Superman as soon as he failed to live up those morals.
And really, how disillusioning would it be that the hero who set the modern standard for being a hero can't live up to his own ethical code when it counts? You can have Batman kill without significantly altering the character, but you can't have Superman kill without losing part of who he is.
Whatever Happened to the Man of Tomorrow? is a controversial title that isn't agreed upon as canon, even within DC's staff. My copy of the book even billed it as non-canon on the cover, but other copies say no such thing. In any event, that was the Superman of the Silver Age, under the Comics Code Authority, which turned the Joker into a wacky prankster identical to Flash's Trickster. In the Bronze age he was seen to kill on occasion, and in the Superman Saga with Christopher Reeve he killed several of his enemies. The New 52 continuity has ended the lives of several villains already, despite the continuity being only six years underway. I dislike the argument that Superman shouldn't kill because it isn't in him. It's largely baseless. Inglorious's argument about 'the American Way' is better.

That's the sentiment that let palps come to power.
Sometimes justice must be decided by the people.
Sometimes, the only solution is obvious.
In that right I think Supes killing Zod in MoS was a move he would make.
He's done it before.
When a villain has nearly ultimate power and is beyond containment or reason, prison is a non-option.
That's why the Phantom Zone exists, but he keeps the projector in his Fortress of Solitude, so it's not always possible to get to it without letting your enemy lay waste.
Plus scenes where he just get pissed the fuck off and tears through someone are dope.
Sure, he's not an inherently dark character, but the magnanimity he's known for is seen to fade when he becomes truly enraged, and that's I side of the character I love seeing.
It's only obvious when his views line up with our's
But that would be betraying his values
Everyone gets brought to justice
You don't get to make an exception just because a guy is tougher to deal with
That's his greatest struggle
Having the power of absolute dominance and choosing not to impose it
He has done it before, will do it again, and I like it when he does so long as the timing is right and it really is his best, or only, option. Glad to hear your input though.

No, unless the situation calls for it. Killing opponents and villains that oppose him is not what makes Superman endearing, he's not supposed to be a dark character.
That's what I meant. I just don't think his rule should be as completely solid as Batman's. It's ridiculous to put somebody like Brainiac in prison.

The same happened to me once upon a time.
I quit coffee altogether for years, and returned to it with a new approach.
I no longer use a coffee maker. Now I use presses.
I only use purified, if possible distilled, water.
I don't use sugar. If I need sweetness I use sweet-n-low, but I seldom do that even.
I don't use milk. Half and Half, or some sort of thick cream is the way to go.
I steep the grinds like looseleaf tea, which adds to the body.
I buy darker roasts, and if I'm in the mood for something lighter, I simply use less or add more cream.
When possible, I cold brew.
Doing all of these things reduces the acidity of the beverage, which will prevent the bad feeling.
People say adding cardamom to your coffee will significantly reduce acidity, but I've never tried it.
so you think it has to do with acidity?
It's either that or a neurological reaction to the caffeine, but I assume you eat chocolate and drink sodas, plus you said frappes don't really set you off.

Batman's character is centered around the No Kill Rule, but somewhere along the way Superman picked it up.
I think he works better as a character where he's driven to win at all costs, and when it becomes clear that an adversary is too dangerous to be left alive, snuffs out their life.
But would this make him too much like Aquaman?
