Same problem here.

Its really irrespective what words use to mean, its what they symbolize now that matters What does it symbolyze? Is it related to the Atlantic slave trade?

If I'm not mistaken "niger" is the latin word for black. Why is it "offensive"?

I never fully understood "antisemitism", from my perspective Judaism is the least worst of the Abrahamic religions. Is it a product of christian mythology?

Australia is counted as continent in all generally used landmass continent divination systems but three continent divination (Afro-Eurasia, America, Antarctica). Commonwealth of Australia, Australia as short has got it name from Continent that it locates, same way as United States of America is sometimes called America, although acronym USA is more popular. Sometimes term Oceania is used to denote Australia continent, even though it is officially name for region that locates about in same area, although both Oceania and Australia (continent) have regions that other don't have. In technical content other terms to used to denote Australia continent are Sahul, Australinea or Meganesia (from wikipedia), when there is need to distinguish it from the Australian mainland. Although in questionnaires and even generally speaking term Oceania is preferred as Micronesia and Polynesia aren't part of any continent (in continent divination systems that are based on landmass continents). This is the first time I have seen the term "Australia" being used.

What's "Australia" doing among those six continents? Don't tell me you think Australia is a continent...

Then you're against political correctness! Wonderful.

Is that better or worse when being offensive is considered politically correct? ... Oh man, that was deep thoughts. Too much coffee again. That is offensive, I expected better from a moderator.

I consider political correctness offensive.

Yes.

"Adult language"? You mean vulgar language. [citation needed] How foolish. Depression, bullying, abuse, discrimination, etc are far more likely causes for that sort of behaviour. If you want to blame something then blame society or the parents, we're all products of our environment after all.

The video fully represents my thoughts on the topic.

@Marcvs - I never did base that on two people, as I previously stated in this thread, before you joined the conversation. That said, I'll drop this conversation all together at this point as things are being misperceived and this is a topic that folks tend to get passionate about, sometimes hot about. Though I don't think we're even at a lukewarm stage yet, someone apparently already thinks otherwise. I just want to say that maybe the archetype you perceive is due to the social and political movement called New Atheism.

True, the culture is a major reason but so is the law and the way it is enforced.

Which god? The christian god? Yes I'm an anti-christian and yes I think to some extent along the same lines Fry does. But not every atheist is anti-christian, in fact most probably aren't. To call it an archetype based on the views of two people is indeed nonsense.

I think the world has a lot to learn from Japanese law enforcement. Crime rates in Japan are among the top lowest in the world and the public often turn to the police for aid. The American police look more like thugs than anything else, at least that's the impression I get.

Nonsense. His argument was more anti-christian/muslim/jew than anything else. Personally I'm an atheist because basically I have no reason whatsoever to believe in deities (much less religion). I'm not against religion itself, I quite like the hellenistic religions and I've always admired "greek" mythology. I am however against the Abrahamic religions (Christianity, Islam and Judaism) in particular. Those I despise.

Not really. Quite realistic. Just because you yourself perhaps was incapable of all that or maybe even many of the people you knew were, doesn't mean everyone is. Especially in the context of the times. ie: your average teenager of yesteryear was very arguably capable of a lot more than your average teenager of today (they're too busy playing with electronic toys and living insulated lives). At no point in the books did I ever think, 'Na... someone that age wouldn't possibly do that'. I can easily see a kid doing everything that Arya does, and if there's a character that most who think as you do can't wrap their heads around, it's probably her. Some kids are capable of far far more than many adults will ever give them credit for. It doesn't help that most adults in our current society treat children like idiots and try to isolate them from the real world. If I had children of my own, I would never do that to them.

Mushishi Zoku Shou and Durarara!!x2 Shou are each the second season of their particular series. Tsukimonogatari and Hanamonogatari are a part of the Monogatari series that starts with Bakemonogatari, highly recommended. Fate/Stay Night Unlimited Blade Works is an alternative "path" of the Fate/Stay Night series, I much prefer the prequel Fate/Zero though.

Gintama is getting a new season. I'm looking forward to nearly die of laughter again in the coming spring. In order of preference: Mahouka Koukou no Rettousei, Kiseiju: Sei no Kakuritsu, Mushishi Zoku Shou, Tokyo Ghoul, Zankyou no Terror, Shigatsu wa Kimi no Uso, Tsukimonogatari, Barakamon, World Trigger, Fate/Stay Night Unlimited Blade Works, Noragami, Nisekoi, Aldnoah Zero, Hanamonogatari, Black Bullet. 2015: Durarara!!x2 Shou, Tokyo Ghoul √A, Aldnoah.Zero 2.

How often do members of the forum 'bad-mouth' others? I think it's pretty rare. Yeah, a mod probably censored it. Oh, well.

Yes, sometimes you can't see the "loot-bag" from corpses because of things like tall grass or just the color of the background and the loot-bag. So the solution is to give the loot a, fairly immersion breaking, yellow marker? The people responsible for it didn't think very hard did they? I hope there's a way to disable it...

There's only one thing that bothered me, the shiny loot markers. Are they really necessary?

What do you think governments need in order to operate properly? It's control. And control derives mostly from intelligence, information. There's one aspect that you should always take into consideration: Human nature. Giving too much control to someone or a group of people is too risky. About the conference, well aside from the silly diplomatic flattery and national self-interest, there was one thing that bothered me and that is the reaction to the Islamist fanaticism. Religious pluralism is, in my opinion, foolish. I agree with the stance that the Roman Empire had towards religion, if a religion can't tolerate other religions or our values then it should be banned. Same way Christianity was banned in the Roman Empire for its intolerance. I also want one planet, one government and globalism but not at the cost of my values.

You haven't realized how valuable information is have you? That sort of thinking is naive at best and ignorant at worst.
