Granted! It is yaoi fiction.

I wish my browser's auto-correct would recognize more words.

Guys, stop with the fucking tree puns. They are the root of all Bay12 issues as they spread the seed of locked threads.
I wood, but they started it.

I pine for the days when tree-puns weren't poplar.

Granted. You forgot to wish for the ability to breathe underwater, and subsequently drowned.

I wish I could write a best-selling novel.

So what I'm getting out of NinjaBoot's stance: Some people are just better or just plain luckier then others when it comes to making money, they should pay less in taxes because "Trickle Down" Ideology and "They Deserve It".

Did I get it right?  I think the basic idea is, most people here don't agree with that sort of thinking... at least on your level.


No, why should they have to pay an increasing amount of tax? 

They already pay the highest rate of tax in the Nation, this is why the stats I showed from wikipedia showing the income states reflect this. 

This, unfortunately, doesn't involve talking about why the need is in the first place to take so much tax.  Oh, something about government spending too much money?
I'm sorry, how is 11% (Romney's tax rate) higher than 26% (Obama's)?
First off, Obama isn't really a good person to look at the income of, because while Romney does make tons of money, Obama does as well and is also securely in the top 1%. That said, the amount Romney pays in taxes is obscenely low.

And ninjaboot wasn't talking about Obama or Romney, he was talking about the rich as a whole, ignoring those who are manipulating the system to pay a small amount of taxes (not quite sure why he is ignoring them, but he is).
I know Obama is well off, but his and Romney's tax information are easy to get ahold of since it's public. I'm not about to post my own tax information for comparison :/

Granted. You remember it now, but far too late to save yourself from shame  :P

I wish for a healthy salad.

Judging by the contents of the other articles on that site, I kinda doubt the authenticity of this one.

Inconceivable!
I'm just saying, can't people link to actual articles instead of Onion wannabes? It isn't like Santorum doesn't say crazy things every other day, there has to be some material out there.

YOU FAIL!

Granted, the fish is blue whale-sized. It eats you.

I wish PotL knew what the Ordo Maellus is.

You've made me sad, Truean.
Abandon all grammar ye who enters here

Despite the hurried nature in which I wrote it....

A generation that sincerely cares about grammar but not literature. English teachers don't know what to do.
It's because we don't have literature Nazis.
(And I like literature...)

Some of the concept art shows shadowy, smokey figures similar to the yellow dudes. I don't know if there's any information about them though.

I'm personally hoping for a demolitionist enemy, one that attempts to sneak up to your walls to plant TNT. Not some suicide bomber that you'll lose people just trying to stop, but a more stealthy saboteur.
