So it's the infantry the measure for all troops? No, I was saying that as long as a woman is not allowed into infantry by anything less than the same standards, I have no issue with it. I wasn't talking about armed forces in general. Have you been actually following this thread because most people here don't seem to have an issue with women in many roles in the military. But infantry (and other combat roles apparently) often have very grueling physical requirements. This sets a standard of expectations for how physically capable they are, so you can take a look at any foot soldier's name and at the very least of a basic guarantee of the minimum capabilities of that soldier. But why should they be held to the same standard when we are two different creatures biologically? A compromise can be reached where their effectiveness in combat isn't compromised but they are not discriminated because of their sex.

Geographic barriers, Russia it's actually in Asia, Europe ideologically and if you want to compromise Eurasia.

Point it's that the company has to meet a quote to be making profit, not possible if money goes to relief effort. Just saying, Okay I concede on this, maybe it's the youthful optimism in my (or cynicism) but I thought of charity as a selfless act for the sake of it and not for profit. Although it was never uninterested since well, empathy, social mimicry and god knows what other adaptations we have developed over the years. But at some point people have to realize of the kind of disconnect between lavish fund raising parties and the realities of afflicted places. Which it's that feeding them for a day doesn't help the problem, becoming invested and developing their economy. But it's easier to profit from diamonds and then set a fund for the victims of Sierra Leone.

Still, the Ulaks are wicked awesome.

IIRC the whole argument began with questioning the effectiveness of service women. With colorful anecdotes of women not being held to the same physical standard as men and how they compromised the effectiveness of our armed troops. Not just as women's role on infantry.

I'm merely a little discontent with the economic realities of charity. If the supply price rise then the product price rises and the people who profit from it continue to do so. I simply don't see them investing as a company, money on a relief effort. As charities and private individuals, yes. My point is that there is a limit to how much they invest and its carefully delineated which defeat the whole concept of charity.

You are forgetting that the people who run the world are either morons or heartless ****s.

Multilateralism only goes so far. And how far is that? To the point where if you house it's sinking we are holding our own. Sorry to say but every country seems to follow rational self interests first and leave the charity to the actors and musicians.

Well if you interpret Darwin closely you get social eugenics, and you know to what that eventually leads to. There were plenty a person who though that this was a good idea bringing into race relations and many other aspects of society. You can't blame the content of a book that unintentionally becomes misinterpreted into a violent manifest. Fault lies with the interpreter not with the book.

The thing that I hate about many NPCs is that you get only superficial character, writing only goes so far I guess. You get 2 or 3 good ones and then the rest degenerate into a bunch of archetypal "every adventurer companion" where they just fall back into the basics. When I have to pay for a companion I'm expecting a little bit more than what what an experience modder could release for free, Shale was a good example of that. It easily melded into the game with it's sidequest and dialog, bonus points for being an unique character. But when you get to the ME companion's DLC; well that was just awful. One sidequest and most of the dialog invested into it, they were basically emotional disposable beings whom you helped and never took an interesting in afterward. Seeing as DA has gone the way of ME in dialog and gameplay i'm afraid that it may be so with the companion DLC.

Different tastes, different flavors. You can't ask that a character be removed because you don't like it, although there are some where I may concede that they should be removed. In the end it really depends on how much depth the character has and how much of it comes out in the performance.

I quite enjoyed the "tactical dismemberment" bits, coupled with the ambushes and the closed environments it made for a good experience. Plus the zero g was excellently implemented. On the weapons side I felt a little disappointed, half of what I was using wasn't meant for combat and it was painfully obvious and the weapon modding failed.

Thanks a lot, will post results in about a week.

Great, now i'm having nightmares of cheese tonight.

I've been given permission to provide you with 3 pictures of 3 different people.. headshots, full body or whatever? I just need to do 2 still lifes from people I know, though that it would be interesting to ask you guys. If you are serious send me the pics and I will post the drawings, you can judge my talent.

I just received the assignment today, it is no way related to Shryke banging that burlesque dancer. He is banging her, right? haha there were no shenanigans both of us are in relationships and were well behaved A gentleman doesn't kiss and tell. Tip of the hat to you my friend. Anyway, can someone PM pics themselves of so I can immortalize their physique for the ages. I'm a poor art student without money for a model. P.S. No nudes.

Don't worry; the army issues condoms.

Multilateralism only goes so far.

Still I would advise against acting under those assumptions lest they become a self-fulling prophecy. Maybe what began with a socially awkward person who everyone though he was a serial killer became the latter. Not saying that is the case here but since we are talking about appearances.

On the other hand they have been combat proven and doesn't seem to have any immense effect as you are making it sound.

I need actual people.

Homework for the week: Need to do 5 sketches based on RL from photographs and 2 from live models. I don't suppose anyone would be willing to pose; pretty please?

I miss you, Kings. Ian Mcshane, Eamonn Walker, and a complex, realistic storyline. Great show, unfortunately too expensive and cerebral for mainstream. Plus the advertisements basically avoided the biblical connection that would have drawn in viewers. I remember that, 3 episodes then it was done. Shame though, seemed interesting.
