< mech> What year did the Lion King take place in?
< mech> I like to think it was during WW2 and they just cropped out any of the tank battles in North Africa
< mech> But reading I guess it takes place before the rise of civilization
< hlmtre> damn right it does
< hlmtre> did you see that horrible government structure the lions imposed upon the masses
< hlmtre> hereditary monarchy of a dominant predator
< hlmtre> that isn't civilization, that's dominance of the strong against the weak
< hlmtre> true power comes from a mandate of the masses, not from some farcical introduction ceremony
< hlmtre> look if i said i'd be king because some old monkey painted my baby's forehead at me they'd put me away
< mech> I fucking loved this
< mech> An actual laugh out loud
