If they're spying on what I'm doing, then whoever looks into it must think I'm an extraordinarily weird fuck.

Yeah, my PC runs Vista better than it ran XP. My processor isn't fantastic, but the rest of my computer is pretty good. Almost have as upgraded as it could go.

My processor is the AMD Athlon 3800 Dual Core 2.01ghz. Have 4gb memory, and one Geforce 8600 GTS video card. My board can take two, but I only have one. I'd need a bigger power supply to run two.

"Mai, the Psychic girl". No, it hasn't been made into an anime. It only ran for three volumes. In the span of a year. It was one of the very first manga to be published in English, back in 87.

I think you are exactly right.

I have no time for that bullshit, and my personal life (at least the parts that aren't awesome) I have no interest in sharing, so I am not going to attempt to counter his claims. I don't think that I should have to. The gall...saying things like that.

That would be Shizuru (brown hair) having Natsuki (blue hair) in the hold. Believe it or not, girls in the yuri community tend to kick the most ass anyway.

Yoruichi (one with the purple hair, with the smaller girl with black hair) definitely kicks the most ass in anime. She is from bleach, a sword fighting anime basically, where the characters get strengths and powers from their swords, and they have different levels for their swords. Yoruichi has defeated members of the highest level of power in the anime, and she has yet to use her sword. It's kind of ridiculous how much stronger she is than everyone, but she rarely gets involved, and when she does, she keeps it to a minimum: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fR77Xi2-D_M

When it comes to actual martial artists stars of their own anime, I'd say Yuki from "Air Master" is likely at the top. She is a gymnast turned street fighter. Though she rarely, if ever throws a punch, she is all kicks knees and elbows. I'm not a fan of hers though, she isn't very cute: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gYUmbZUkYrw&feature=related

You're talking exactly about me, you stupid, stupid fuck.

You're just too fucking stupid to realize that what we are discussing aren't hypothetical scenarios, but the real world. Real people.

People have said that you seem older, but I find this hard to believe. In any case, you clearly have never worked hard, and with zero help for anything in your life.

As for anger, of course I'm angry you fucking idiot. All the shit you just called me. All the moralizing, condescending, ignorant, pontification about things you know fuck all about. Fuck you.

I'm quite conservative with my consideration and civility. You aren't working nearly hard enough to earn it.

You just haven't had good enough shit, or enough of it. Or haven't smoked it in the best ways.

Also, hash tends to not result in as heavy a degree of a body stone.

I didn't mean to imply that that was the mentality of all conservatives, and no liberals.

I only meant that I thought that was the mentality of those that just want to give money to charities, and not fund social programs to combat the problems.

I do think that since more conservatives tend to give more to charity (supposing that is true for the time being) than liberals, and more conservatives don't want to fund social programs as liberals do -- that conservatives are more likely to have this mentality.

I also don't think that it is a conscious mentality, that conservatives don't want to elevate the poor, and actually solve the problems, but I just don't think that their desired solutions work as well as government funded social programs.

I am not meaning to demonize anyone. It is a disagreement on strategy. Nothing more.

I don't think that they are. I only mean that with better, appropriate, and working social services it eliminates a lot of the need for charity that arises in their absence. Why pay towards charities when you can pay towards programs that work to eliminate the situations the poor find themselves in? I believe this to be the liberal mindset. One of attempting to solve social problems, not deal with them.

8393. Comment #270339 by Titania

The actual money that goes to helping the poor does not matter towards who donates more. It is not the person that donated's fault that what they intended to go to the poor did not. So that does not invalidate the claim that conservatives tend to give more alms than liberals. Liberals general want to pay more taxes and have the government create social programs. I think unquestionably the liberal method is best. The fact that the alms given by conservatives tend to not make it to the poor just speaks towards the ineptitude of their methods for helping the poor.

Also, your example of individuals working for lower income to help others seems to take it for granted that the majority of them are in fact of the liberal persuasion. This is not obvious, and was not demonstrated from what I could see.

We are liberals (compared to you) because we have studied history

Pffft! I didn't. I'm a liberal because all of the cool people are liberals.

My favorite is Utena. The adorable one with the pink hair, and the hat. If you haven't seen it yet, then you should watch "The Adolescence of Utena", which is the movie.

It is a weird psychological movie, so the events take place as if it is happening in a dream.

Utena has kind of a prince obsession, in that she wants to be one. The other girl is known as "The Rose Bride" and would be princes duel for the right to be engaged to her, so they are granted the power of Dios, which is the power to revolutionize the world.

So, the duels basically decide who is most like Dios, the ideal prince.

I love the movie. The anime is good too, but it's quite old, so I like the movie better.

No, it's not. Hentai is pornographic, none of those are pornographic. If you mean are they from hentai? Then also no.

The characters are Yoruichi and Soi fon from Bleach, Jo and Meg from Bakuretsu Tenshi, Nanoha and Fate from Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha StrikerS, Chikane and Himeko from Kannazuki no Miko, Shizuru and Natsuki from Mai Hime/My Otome/Zwei, and lastly Utena and Anthy from Revolutionary Girl Utena.

None of them are hentai.

I am proud to be a Canadian, in a land so rich and free.
I am proud to be a Canadian, this land's for you and me,
We can build it up together, so take this opportunity,
To raise our voices together, sing this song of harmony

People left their place of birth, to come to this great land,
To join in our society, to them we lend a hand.
And don't forget the first nations, who taught us to survive
I know that we can build this land, keep the dream alive.

The forests and the waters, the birds and all the beast,
Share in our ecology, from the west coast to the east.
So let's take pride in this our home, and take the time to share,
Show the world we love this land, Canada we care.

Soyons fiers tendons nous la main, l'avenir nous appartient.
Soyons fiers et pensons demain, traçons notre chemin.
Travaillons main dans la main, pour bâtir ce grand pays,
Et chantons tous ensemble, cette chanson en harmonie.

I have no money, so it can't be mine. Though you must admit that a hell of a lot of money is wasted on bullshit, why not waste some one noble causes once in awhile? Even if the odds are against its success.

I've stressed before that for some social programs, we should be willing to take a loss in my opinion.

Will it work? Well, that is a good question, and unless the answer is obvious, (which is probably wouldn't be) there would be leftist experts saying it would, and rightwing ones saying it wouldn't, because neither of them would have a clue. Or at least that is how it seems to go.

I am all for helping the Muslim world reform. But I am not for flushing money down the drain overseas when it can be used at home.

Yeah, that is my view to an extent too.

They are requesting help' Who is'

I live in a hypothetical universe, where the things people say are my jumping off points, not necessary the things how they really are. Comes with the territory of not knowing anything about anything.

I assumed that the Muslim feminists across the middle east were calling for the help.

Besides more than 50% of small businesses in Saudi Arabia are owned by women NOW.

Because any effort to emancipate Muslim women is doomed to failure, we shouldn't even try?

Do you figure that you have some special insight to the trials these women would endure if they attempted this that they themselves (the ones requesting the help) do not?

Don't you think that it is up to them whether they want to risk it in an attempt to work towards more equality for women?

I find this uncharacteristic of you.

Comment #269617 by Wosret on October 23, 2008 at 7:31 am

The only time that size is not a a huge factor (although it is always a factor) is when the fighting skill ratio is monstrously disproportionately leaned towards the smaller person.

In all other cases, it is safer to bet on big.

Royce Gracie, for instance, dominated big guys that were not nearly as skilled of fighters as he was, back when the UFC was a mickey mouse organization. When he came back, and took on someone, not even much bigger than him, that could fight (Matt Hughes), he got destroyed.

It isn't so much that he lacks the fighting skill of the current UFC fighters, but that he is so small that was the factor in his losing.
