    I agree it's a problem, but the US probably couldn't get out of the two party rut in the next decade unless there was some incredible countrywide revolution. Too many news sites trivialize anything other parties do.

    Based on what I've seen the "first party" debates are also somewhat rigged too since they have certain things they aren't allowed to talk about or actually must talk about even if the situation isn't as bad as everyone makes it out to be. Going off of the information John Green presented at www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ugDU2qNcyg, the national debt really isn't that big of a problem for us for example.

    It's 5 am, I'm not sure whether I should talk about politics or sleep

    Don't be sorry.

    I'm just very bad at discussing that stuff without it feeling like I'm fighting with the person. I know a lot of people don't have that problem, but I guess I'm just really non confrontational.

    Sleep would most likely be the better option, but at least the discussion here shouldn't be too flaming.

    And this is the reason I avoid Political and Religious discussion. Not only are you likely to never come to an agreement, you will always sound like you're speaking with a frown and an elevated voice.

    You're not the only one, it really does feel like that on the internet.

    But Frey there are plenty of films with good sequels.

    Terminator 2
    Aliens
    Empire strikes back
    Robocop 2
    Toy Story 2
    Star trek 2 : The Wrath of Khan
    The Dark Knight
    Godfather part 2

    So as you can see there are some good sequels to films.

    This "madoka" show is pretty interesting. But that one character's death was way. too. predictable.

    More often than not the sequels turn out better if they were planned from the start. It always feels awkward when the stories are tied up nicely, then you yank all the characters back together for no real reason.

    This, although supposedly George Lucas did plan on the prequels as he worked on the original Star Wars trilogy, but I think we can all agree he screwed up a bit with at least 2 and 3.

    I could feel it coming deep down.

    It didn't stop me from being incredibly sad about it, though.

    Oh and don't look at this image if you ever plan on watching Madoka I guess. Spoilers and such.
    You might laugh at this. I don't know what she's saying.

    I kinda predicted something like that would happen because everyone was telling me things like "the show is going to become much darker from episode 3 onward".
    But some other things in the show really just shocked me, I didn't expect them at all.
