Which school would you rather attend? Hogwarts or Xavier's School for the Gifted

[Monoriu]

But you did get one didn't you?

1. Not in school.
2. Even my wife has her moments of madness

[Eddie Teach]

A real school, not some nerd fantasy place.

A school where you aren't ashamed of the football team.

I think Wolverine would make a pretty kickass running back.

Cel, Sav, you can keep Kitty Pride, as long as my dibs on Rogue get recognized. 

Heh, when I was tween, even if you had lived in the Marvel Universe, dating Rogue wasn't a possibility, unless you had one of the full body condoms from The Naked Gun.

[Savonarola]

Following Keynes's and Barrister Boy's thinking, the Marvel Universe would be the obvious choice for me.  Careers in science and technology are limitless there.  Technology can even kick the ever-loving crap out of magic or super-powers.

Have they changed that? Can't say I have been keeping up with the comics.

Back then, sexy time with Rogue = death by snu snu

Heh, I know, forbidden fruit and all that.

Apparently nowadays Rogue does indeed control her powers more and can get to touch other people without incident.

Well, Hogwarts has a long, venerable and mostly peaceful history,\

Every single year covered in the books has violence and horror.
Reasonable to believe it's not entirely out of character.

[Camerus]

Well, from what I recall from reading the series, Hogwarts is several centuries old at least – and the violence of the two encounters vs. Voldemort (the second of which is the subject of the HP series) was rather unprecedented and thus the exception to life at the place rather than the rule (and IIRC Hogwarts itself wasn't even that central to the first war against Voldemort). 

The evidence is that the previous major wizarding conflict seems to have occurred off in central Europe back in 1945 and been rather more limited, and also there doesn't seem to be any real mention of other violence at the place either in the memories of the parents or in any of the mentions made to the history of Hogwarts or in the history of the English wizarding world generally.   I'd also say the character of its institutions, functions and rituals suggests a largely peaceful culture.

Brutal stiff arm.

If anything he's a natural linebacker.

HE KILLED PRIEN

[DontSayBanana]

11Bravo would've attended the School of the Captain Americas, where superheroes learned how to support right-wing governments in Latin America.

Now called, Western Hemisphere Institute for Security Cooperation.

"At WHISC, you learn to stir shit up."

[DontSayBanana]

Xavier's school for me, BTW.  No contest.
