well, it took a year and a half... but the next chapter is up!

I would say one hasn't emerged yet for this forum b/c its barely used. there seem to be less then 50 regular posters. but look at any large forum and you'll clearly see them.

the internet has given millions of people a voice that they never would have had in times past. because of that, people think their opinions matter to other people. in the real world, few people associate heavily with those of vastly different opinions and hang out with mostly like minded people. this happens on the internet too, forums are started and if there is no official line of thinking stated, one soon develops. the difference is in person, most people are conditioned to either respect the opinion of another or leave the situation semi-gracefully. on the internet, everyone develops a severe case of asperger's syndrome and any contrary view is taken as a direct attack then shouted down.

Wow, that sucks. I just got my first non military passport and my experience was the exact opposite. Granted the fees are a bit much, the government shouldn't be charging me anything more then cost to give me a document that lets me travel when I want to, but it came in 10 days, not the 4-6 weeks I was told. The Japanese government gave me my certificate of eligibility for a work visa within about the same time and the Japanese consulate took about 2 days, 3 days shorter then I was told, to process my visa. All in all I was quite pleased with the way things went.

that's an interesting point. I was always struck by how deeply afraid anime guys were of their female counterparts. OH MY GOD!! 4 HOT GIRLS WANT ME!! RUN AWAYYYYYYYYY!!!!

they didn't save any female characters in the bount arc. but yeah, i hadn't thought of it like that, there is quite a bit of it. I guess you go with what works?

Interesting as always, and just when I was thinking this forum was dead. Foe you've done a great job but I have to disagree with you on Obama's federally funded civilian SS. Obama wants to ban all guns from civilian hands including the evil "semi-automatics" which is to say, anything that's not a revolver. (http://www.ontheissues.org/domestic/Barack_Obama_Gun_Control.htm) So unless this coming civilian group takes a special oath of allegiance to him and receives special privileges that the average citizen does not, I don't see it happening. Although... http://www.worldnetdaily.com/index.php?fa=...mp;pageId=77052 ALPHA-OMEGA! ALPHA-OMEGA!

Man, this thread has been active since i've been away. Foe, good job. And even if McCain's campaign isn't doing well right now Bush was looking at a one term presidency at about the same time last cycle. It's going to come down to the same thing it always comes down to, who shows up at the polls and the 8% of the country that never makes up their mind until they walk into the polling booth. Observe: http://www.thedailyshow.com/video/index.jh...ded-focus-group

lrn2history. and i dont care what you think because you're going to vote for him regardless, and the exact same could be said for you. i'm sure his ties to domestic terrorism are just youthful idealism and activism in your head. it's more about anyone who might be reading and not posting. those are the people who are less likely to be personally comitted to a candidate.

obama wont get national health care instated. if it did you would see exactly the same thing happen here as you wouuld in england. 6 month waitlist for the most routine procedures and emergency room lines you will die in before getting seen. the government can not mandate that private practice accepts their form of coverage and most will not because they will only be paid a fraction of what the procedure actualy costs, read: Tricare. you think there is a doctor/nurse shortage now? wait until the obama administration. no profit incentive means no one is going to spend the 8 years in school it takes to become a doctor.

Good god, click the fucking picture people. it's the campaign slogan of Cthulu for President. Palin's religious beliefs aren't going to do anything for gay rights, no Republicans do but neither do democrats really. Biden stated unequivocally that he does not support gay marriage at the debate but somehow that just flew by without a word from the gay crowd. Obama as president will be like Hillary in 93. He'll try to socialize healthcare, it will go down in flames, and he will be crucified for it. He'll lose all political capital and when the HOPE and CHANGE doesn't happen in his first 100 days, he will lose his messiah status in the eyes of his followers. The country will turn on him and he will have an approval rating that will match what his democratic colleagues are receiving right now. enjoy your failed administration.

you can't win arguments against them because they are who they are. as described above they are unable to accept the facts that have been proven and corroborated. The facts have been presented ad nausuem and are widely available. when they choose to throw all of this out the door because they want to be able to pin it on the government, aliens, the illuminati, or the jews, the only thing left to examine is their state of mind. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/9/11_Truth_Movement#CriticismThus exposing them for the irrational and flagrently demented people that they are is necessary to winning over the people who are in the middle. If left unchecked this kind of irrationality spirals out of control see Krystalnacht. And who was attacking who?

I am refuting the theories. look at the links, particularly EjectEjectEject, he does a pretty good job of destroying their positions. Besides the burden of proof isn't on me, it's on the person that says Bush, someone with nothing to gain and everything to lose, allowed a few planes to be hijacked and thousands of his countrymen to be killed, then bribed tens of thousands of witnesses, rank and file employees of numerous government agencies, and civilian companies to cover up for him for the rest of their lives, and willfully brought about an economic downturn sparked by the loss of major capital in downtown New York (the fiscal heart of the country) all so that... he could do... something... Or maybe a bunch of religious fucktards got pissed off because their sheeplike mentality and utter contempt for human life fostered by a life of indoctrination and hatred allowed them to rationalize hijacking a few planes and crash them into symbols of American power because their sandy shit hole countries suck and they were promised 72 virgins in the hereafter by their vengeful and sadistic god. What’s more reasonable to believe when it comes to conspiracy theories like "9/11 Truth" bullshit? The stories spun and perpetuated by the people described in the links above, which provide research and expert opinions, who are desperately in need of personal validation and seek attention by positing a highly unbelievable series of events that fly in the face of reason and plausibility, or the actions that have been repeated a thousand times in the middle east by islamic terrorists? Occam's Razor. Apply it.

you realize you're in the vast minority here right? 3/4 people have no problem with the official report of events. Speaking of clinton, he let osama bin laden get away. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/4540958/ Now lets talk about people who believe there is a grand conspiracy by the government. http://drsanity.blogspot.com/2007/04/paran...rikes-deep.html This from a PhD of psychiatry. Now here’s another account. http://www.ejectejecteject.com/archives/000140.html Check out this study. http://www.world-mysteries.com/newgw/gw_rmd1.htm Take a good long read of each of those articles and then ask yourself why you feel the need to believe Bush is out to get you.

How are you enjoying the loss of national sovereignty over there in Europe? Fuck what your elected leaders say, the EU makes your decisions for you.

Why vote for the lesser evil?

lulz. Georgia didn't attack Russia. Georgia attacked a part of its own country that tried to break away. Russia did the same thing with Chechnya a few years ago. That would be like saying when federal forces went south of the Mason-Dixon line we were attacking Britain. And the cold war was far from a series of misunderstandings. it was half a century of diametrically opposed political policy by two superpowers trying to expand their spheres of influence.

is it over? russia is sending a fleet around the mediteranian and then on to Venezuela and a few months ago they resumed long range bomber missions over europe.

i can redefine terms in an overly broad manner too. but if you want to have an actual argument then why not focus on the terms as they are understood by the majority? Terrorism in this case refers to non conventional warfare carried out by a small force against one that is far superior with the intent of changing the policy or attitudes of the government that controls the larger force. If you really think the events described in the article are politically motivated you need to reexamine the situation. if it was in any way orchestrated by a candidate there would be many more of them and they would be of larger scale. I know I’m wasting my breath here since you stated there was a link between Bush's election and the 9/11 attacks, but do you really believe that some small cabal of right wing politicians engineered the largest attack on this country in 50 years so that they could have more oil wealth then they could spend in 10 lifetimes despite already having... more oil wealth then they could spend in 10 lifetimes? There would be relatively little to gain and everything to lose if there was ever a link discovered. But logic isn’t really necessary when we’re spinning conspiracy bullshit is it? FDR let the Japanese bomb pearl harbor too, didn’t he? And some small fraternal organization created in Bavaria three hundred years ago is now controlling every political, economic and social action undertaken by western democracies right? Failing that, Jewish bankers are the ones controlling the media and governments, huh? One attack on a muslim minority in this country is hardly an example of terrorism. it is a criminal matter, more specifically it is a hate crime. KKK attacks against blacks in the Jim Crowe South were terrorism because they were a relatively small group fighting in a systematic way against the policies of the federal and state governments that allowed blacks to live in a way they did not agree with. No one is arguing that you can destroy the idea of terrorism completely. You can however, in the manner outlined above and backed up by historical example, crush the resistance of a people in a specific place and time. No one fought Saddam Hussein over there after he utterly annihilated large groups of Kurds. But they know the West is too squeamish to do what needs to be done, so they shoot at us while surrounded by women and children.

thanks!

The video is about an hour long. it starts off with the disclaimer that it isn't speaking about all muslims and ends on the same note. yeah, that happens and it would have happened if al gore was president. check world war 2 propaganda. "When you ride alone, you ride with Hitler!" It's a politically convenient attack on the opposite party and everyone does it. Obama is running ads that outline a plan?? O.o clearly we're not seeing the same ads. All i'm seeing is "here's a vague idea of the things that need to be worked on." If he wants to clearly explain something to me have him tell me how he's going to "lower 95% of the people's taxes" when 40% of people don't pay any. Is he going to give them a credit? Wait, isn't that what Bush did? http://www.ncpa.org/sub/dpd/index.php?page...rticle_ID=14434And yes you can fight terrorism. It's a military strategy called Total War. Decimate them. Make being our enemy so unpalatable that they would never begin to oppose us. The west controlled the Islamic world for centuries and yet there was almost no terrorism prior to the later half of the 20th century. why? because British colonials didn't tolerate that shit. Why didn't the Confederate states, well armed and well trained, conduct guerrilla warfare? Because Sherman's March to the Sea took all the fight out of them. Why didn't the Japanese, so keen to crash their planes into our decks during the war and commit mass suicide in Okinawa rather then be taken prisoner, not form armed resistance groups during the occupation? This was another group of people who had divine backing for their suicide missions. But they knew that after firebombing 95% of their urban areas and then nuking 2 strategically unimportant cities just to show them what the score was, they were better off playing ball. See also Dresden, Germany. But no, we engage in this hands off, bullshit form of war and all we do is get our troops killed. We stick around and rebuild their shitty ass country so that they can have the convenience of sniping us from their mosques. we are the most powerful militarily and economically in the world. Look at the asian markets yesterday. The dow dropped and, as anticipated, the nikkei dropped. Today the dow bounces back, the nikkei bounces back. When the US has tough times economically, the entire world does. We are the backbone of the world economy. "TOKYO (Kyodo)--Tokyo stocks rebounded Wednesday from the previous day's dive to the lowest levels in more than three years as investors were heartened by Wall Street's overnight rally on optimism the U.S. Congress will soon pass the White House's revised financial bailout package aimed at stabilizing the battered financial sector in the United States. " http://www.nni.nikkei.co.jp/ But as far as policing the world goes, I actually agree with you. I'd prefer we stick with the Monroe Doctrine. We make the rules for the Western Hemisphere and we leave other spheres of influence alone. Let the Brits dominate Europe, build up the Japanese and give them back their Greater East-Asian Co-Prosperity Sphere. Hell, we can even give Russia their Iron Curtain back. The Cold War was a hell of a lot more fun then this war on terror. At least then James Bond had sexy women to seduce.

really? REALLY? john mccain's political campaign directly resulted in this? come on... Also, I watched that DVD and found it was a pretty accurate and balanced presentation. they spent a good 10 minutes of that hour stressing that they were speaking about muslim fundamentalist terrorists and not all muslims. There was very little that was incendiary, unless you say video clips of a man bathing his infant in blood from a knife and praying that he grows up to be a martyr is incendiary. The whole dvd was about moderate muslims calling out other moderate muslims to speak out about this kind of crap and to show the world that if indeed the extremists are a small minority, then the vast majority needs to show its not supportive of this kind of barbarism.

it's all my stories. http://anime.adult-fanfiction.org/review.ph...mp;no=600043282 http://anime.adult-fanfiction.org/review.ph...mp;no=600042962

well it looks like i just got hit again but now its over a hundred times. i can't even access the review page. http://anime.adult-fanfiction.org/review.ph...mp;no=600042839 can you please get rid of them? I'll turn off anon reviews.

so i just got 12 reviews, all copypasta of some fic that i saw on Encyclopedia Dramatica a while ago. Very long, made the review page load slowly. Here's how it started: I've already reported it in the proper section of the board, but i'm just kinda wondering what happened. None of my other stories were touched and i it didn't look like any of the other stories in the sailor moon section were touched. Was it random dicketry? was it supposed to be a flame of my work? The votes weren't rigged or anything. Just strange.
