Nope. I never said men can't have those traits, and I certainly don't think so. I said if "womenly traits" didn't exist. If "womenly traits" didn't exist in men nor women -> "no compassion, no kindness, just machos doing war". Don't twist my words -.- Yes, but by defining them as "womanly traits", you made the statement that even if they exist in men, the only reason they got there was because of women. That brings on the conclusion that you believe the source of all benevolence and kindness is wholly from womankind, and the only reason it has ever existed within man is because women offered their trait to them through their relationships. Otherwise you would not define them as "womanly traits", but "human traits". Am I missing anything here?

That's funny. I think he just said that compassion and kindness are completely seperate from the persona every male. It's almost like he thinks men are completely incabable of having these two traits, like only women are capable of being kind or compassionate. Hehe. Funny stuff.

But then you technically have women in the world, especially considering that half the population would then not only have the female genitals, but the hormones that come with them. Got any other way of explaining it? I'm still not getting it.

Well then, you're going to have to go back and explain to me how evolution on this planet word work without sexual reproduction backing it. In detail, please. Otherwise, I can not fully comprehend how a nonexistent race could bring the end of the planet itself.

[hide]Momo ain't dead foo'.[/hide] That was one crappy anime with one of the most cliche and awkward main characters I've ever encountered in my life, at least by far one of the worst. I kept thinking every time I watched that (which was all of three episodes), "stop rippin' off for Rurouni Kenshin, or for God's sake, at least stop doing it badly". I loved him the first episode of it, but once I realized they were going to do the exact same damn thing for every single episode -Night-whatever and some other characters do some lighthearted things that lead up to some intense, dark plot, which eventually leads to Night-who-cares going dark freak and killing/defeating some random, pointless enemy- , I couldn't stand to watch it anymore. It was just predictable, it was mindnumbingly repetitive and utterly pointless. Bad, bad anime.

No, if the world was all made of men, this race would have gone extinct thousands of years ago.

HIDE TAGS JAZIEK! Those watching dubbed don't know that gigantic plot twist that is vital for the entire anime! You didn't see it coming, neither will they, so don't spoil it :o! Eh, you have a point :-k . All the villains seem to rise out of hell every so often, and all the good guys get Dragon Wish'd back to life... Oh will, my case that people die a hell of a lot more in Dragon Ball still stands :-w .

Why? There are biological and sociological differences in males and females, and in the past wide gaps in differences have been tested and verified in a multitude of experiments. Do you honestly think, without making a single test yourself, that you can guarentee to me that men will steal exactly as much as women, and on top of that, in any given area of the world? Oh, and don't use "moron"; "insane"* fits the bill better. *[Mark Twain >_>]

Heck yes. And if I remember correctly, the figure was closer to about 28 or so times, not 5.

No one dies in Dragon Ball. No one. My friend, you're thinking of Bleach, not Dragon Ball. Tons of people die in DBZ. I mean, a ton. The most obvious ones are the simply pure evil villains, but, there are a few other matters to consider, like, I dunno, the billions Kid Buu killed on his planet destroying spree?

Em's not hitting on the car guy, that's absurd. She just wants to do some extra credit projects, for no apparent reason. Maybe to, uh, get her mind off things? Please?

The Tiger looks great, but the rabbit has a humongous head (which also seems to be turned in a direction that looks unrealistic), but otherwise looks it fine... but the black background seems almost lazily slapped on. I have no idea what to put there, but there's got to be something filling that gigantic void :| . I'd say three things would have to be changed to make this look better: 1) The back legs of the rabbit need to be switched; the right leg should be behind the left leg. Currently, with the direction the rabbit is running, having the left leg dangling in the back looks unnatural. 2) Shrink dat bunnies head o_O. 3) Something, anything, needs to be put into that black area. Maybe a little highlighting around the rabbit (like you have with the tiger), maybe something to flesh out the scenery a little.. anything. That's all I've got to say. Overall it looks pretty good, especially that tiger, just needs a few touchups to give it a sense of wholeness : .

"Language" and "code" are two very different things my friend.

Eh, I've done a little, but once I realized that I prefer the anime over the manga (or simply the fact that the action is more real as an anime), I stopped spoiling it for myself. Kinda pissed that I know about Nell (as well as a few other things, such as fights with Ulqui-whatever and Grimmjow, and Rukia's fight with #9); it ruins it personally for the events leading up to those scenes, so I stick away from the manga. Death Note I'd read as a manga- in all honesty, it's really meant to be read. Bleach... eh, that's a fighting anime, I wanna see some effects and hear some pain while enjoying it 8-) .

While I was in Japan 2001, it was normal for even middle-aged businessmen in a subway to ask elderly people of a character meaning on the daily newspaper they were reading... It's hell for foreigners, but I'm trying to learn as much 'essential' kanji as possible. Ya, same- I've already got down the most common hundred or so, and from there it's interesting to see how some of the more basic ones are incorporated into the more complicated ones. For example, if you know the Kanji for "to speak" (looks like "mouth" with sound waves coming out of it), it seems like every kanji that has to do with communication has the "speak" kanji scrunched onto the left side of it. Or for the kanji "to divide", it looks like the kanji for "katana" is cutting a line in half. Not all kanji are that symbolic and ideographical, but the ones that are are much easier to remember. It's a very interesting system, just... complicated as hell (I don't think even intelligient natives try and learn more than one or two or so thousand). I'm liking learning the basic stuff, but when I'm working on those characters that take 10, maybe 15 strokes to do... ack.

Japanese uses hiragana (for words that can't be expressed by Kanji), katakana (to express sounds, foreign translations, things, scientific names, etc), and kanji (chinese symbols). Occassionally 'romaji' is used, but mostly in cases where it's assumed the reader is not a native Japanese speaker/reader, or traditional symbols can't be used (if using a keyboard not supporting oriental signs for example). Romaji is japanese, written with the latin [western] alphabet. I've been learning it for a few years and it's very difficult. :) I'm actually thinking about just forgetting of learning to read/write tons of kanji and hiragana signs I don't know yet, just concentrating on learning to listen and fluently speak it. Really, it's not that difficult to know several languages. What you may have serious trouble with is their alphabets. I thought of chinese as well but the characters will be such a pain in the rear, maybe I'll just learn basic speaking skills... :lol: Eh, katakana and hiragana aren't that bad- there are only 46 characters in each, and thank god, each one only represents one phoenetic sound. I've learned both, and I'm trying to learn Kanji. I don't know who was the one who invented kanji and thought it was a good idea, but that person was a moron. 50,000 frikkin' characters, some of which can be pronounced in at least ten different ways, depending on the situation. What the frikkin' hell.

Creepy. As soon as I read the word "lay", those were precisely my thoughts :o .

This is another example of why I generally despise activism. My opinion on this is summed up in his own words-

It was around for a decent amount of time while I had my account, and considering the join date it'd be at least mid to late '06. Heh, I actually remember making an obnoxious thread in the Media [or whatever it was...] forum about how selling sigs is probably illegal by Jagex rules, back when people were still selling sigs on this forum. Took about ten minutes for it to get to three pages of people shooting me down with resounding "NO, YOU IDIOT!" comments :lol: .

A lot of females play with male characters in lots of games to avoid harassment by excited pubescent kids. I have encountered also numerous female players in FPS games who use voice changers to appear as male on the team radio. Ya, I've heard of that before too. God, it would be scary being a female on Xbox Live. Having to deal with 14 year old hormone driven moronic males thinking they're scoring on a female in game because they think they pwnzord somebody [when in reality they just got a lucky kill and then got completely murdered for the next three minutes until they DC'd]. That would be hell for the chickas.

As has been said, kind of short, and it could have been more personal instead of all about Tip.it. It's okay, just not very enlightening, which is kind of the goal of an interview. Yea, and yet you have over 1,000 posts :-s Point?

Since your other question has been answered, I'll make a slight suggestion and say that you should pump it up to 20 lbs 20 reps, at least. My bro's doing what you're doing right now, and he's 12 and just started weight training :| . And if you're going for muscle, not just weight loss, you need to be doing more than just partial curl ups and push ups with those curls.

I want to knit on this idea. I have the impression that many people don't "believe" in science for scientifc reasons. People seem to mostly believe what they are told to be true. Actually it goes so far that i have no reason not to believe that people dismissing astrology do that because of ignorance. They dismiss astrology, god, the easter bunny and idk what with the same certainty they affirm that everything "science" says (as if science could say anything. Usually what they mean is some people told me that some scientists thinks that, or i read somewhere that science says this or that is so.) is true. It is more likely that everything science says is false, because almost every theory becomes refuted someday. That is what science is all about: Finding models to explain the world (by certain means). I also often have the impression that people believe there is somekind of unified body of scientists who perfectly agree on what is true and what isn't. Sure they conform on some things, but there is much dispute, many unverified theories, much controversy on about just what constitutes a theory to be verified and for every verified theory there is somebody out there, who already has doubts. The much hyped string theory has hardly any solid evidence from what i read (and that's this point again. Most we "know" we base on something we read. It may sound more or less convincing, but only in very rare cases we go so deep into the materia, that we even could make reasonable claims on the truth of it. My conclusion of all this is that our thinking is so deeplay biased (i haven't even begun on explaining how i came to that conclusion) that you cannot believe anything. From that point i went out and ultimately came to the conclusion (would be a very lengthy topic on it's on) that you can believe everything. I think you just utterly murdered any remaining credibility you were still clinging on to. We're not talking a quick, clean, Romeo and Juliet poison scene kill here. This is Saw-level credibility murdering. kelem, stopping spending 300 odd lines saying the same damn thing- "I know more than you about astrology, you don't understand it, and thus I am completely incabable of defending my side of the issue". It's getting f'ing annoying. Brevity is a virtue man. Learn it.

Pssht, Nirvana > Heaven.

I'll tell ya one thing, it'd be a hell of a lot more boring.
