To alina: I see you a lot on forum updates & suggestions. 8/10 Before he changed his avatar there only was this: http://img208.imageshack.us/img208/1603 ... gonpa9.gif It's was only recently that both of us have FMA avatars. But you see, mine is dynamic, and the pics have much better quality.

Ain't that true? Now that I understand it a little bit better you'll get a 8.5/10 from me.

You Did What!?
I threw a rock at Madonna because my mum made me. I remember a similar email some kind ago. At the end I got "I made out with your sister because I'm sexy sexy and I do whatever I want to".

runecrafting
It seems laws are currently giving more cash, and are faster exp. Making them through the balloons is just a little bit slower (some seconds), and you'll need to get lots pf dueling rings, but I'd think it's worth it at the end, because you don't have to worry about Revenants or Abyss monsters harming you.

The globalisation of English
Nowadays, globalisation is only carried out economically, not culturally, like some centuries ago. That's an important difference. Instead of Spanish or British coming to America and forcing their culture and believes upon the indigenous cultures, we now have a (French) corporation that opens a regional hub somewhere else (in Japan). Although this might cause the demand of Italian-speaking workers in Japan, that wouldn't cause any loss of identity. Also, promoting a language as a worldwide standard (i.e. English) is not the same as promoting the respective culture. As an example, I've learned English and German, but you don't see me wearing adopting any aspect of any of those cultures.

The globalisation of English
Yes, it'd be great if we could all learn a common language like Esperanto or Interlingua. But why is it wrong that the common language becomes English, Chinese or Zulu? The own countries will still have their own languages, just as it happens right now.

The globalisation of English
But how is "English being hurt by globalisation" exactly? Also, the USA aren't forcing other countries (directly, anyway) to use English. The companies in other countries chose to do so because of profit, because the economy of the US is one of the largest in the world (and this is why so many people are learning Chinese at the moment).

New 3k Update
It has come out already for all accounts made after the 10 of December, and it will do so for everyone else next year. By the way, the slayer assignments aren't necessarily monster-specific, but family specific. With "kalphites" you can kill the workers or the queen, with "blue dragons" you could kill the baby ones, and so on.

The globalisation of English
Tell that to China, their English speakers make up a population greater than the sum of all native English speakers. What exactly is that relevant to? he probably meant to quote the post with all the percentages of languages spoken. Or he's trying to support your argument by saying China is diverse in languages, but retains its identity as Chinese culture. [/hide] No, he said countries are able to globalise but also retain their identity, and obviously China isn't if English is a requirement there to learn. Making it obligatory to learn a second language doesn't have anything to do with the nation keeping or losing their identity. It only allows the students to have opportunities to, for example, travel and work on the USA, or have British costumers. Yet, they still can keep their culture if they want. Unless you were to proof that there is a correlation between the loss of culture and the (mandatory) learning of a (specific) second language.

screenshot troubles
Nothing ought to happen when you press the key. Pressing it only 'copies' the screenshot onto the clipboard. After that you must 'paste' it in Paint or any other image editing software.

Wait a sec! I just noticed that the book has the FMA logo on it. That earns you an extra point! 10.5/10 for you now! :thumbsup: Oh, it's Chrono Trigger in fact. It just happens that Akira Toriyama, a developer of DB, was also the character designer of Chrono Trigger.

Your first kiss
A stone is a British weight unit (obviously). Putting it in a way everyone can understand, 18 stones are around 114 kg, and 5ft 11.6in are around 1.81m. Now reading all these posts I realise I'm lucky I never took part in those bottle games when I was like 9.

Help.
If you mean "assist" through the Assist System, then you should know that it's not longer possible to Assist in skills like woodcutting, fishing or mining, because it'd be the same as if the mentor simply gathered the items and gave them to you.
