I just want a president focused on personal liberty and the economy rather than "beating president Obama" .__.

How large is our debt? If we were to stack dollar bills like ||||||, we would build FOUR ladders to the MOON! I'm not joking. Measure the depth of a dollar bill, and calculate it.

16 trillion dollars is a debt that goes too often ignored by the media.

Realistically, we have THOUSANDS of bases stationed across the world. More than 6,000 military bases in 146 different countries!

And now Obama is trying to spend money for drones flying over U.S. skies!

http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-505245_162-57372329/congress-oks-bill-to-prod-us-aviation-into-new-era/

Isn't this insane? I don't agree with everything about Paul (I'm a Jack Layton supporter), but such militarism in the modern world is simply just crazy! Ever since the NDAA, we've been living under official marital law, and many don't even know it!

He's the only notable republican candidate to speak out against this.

Additionally, I'm getting tired of the government telling us what to eat, what to drink, what to look, and even what to feel! The war on drugs needs to end, and I'd like anyone to TRY and convince me why a federal ban on drugs is a good thing for society. It's just like the government telling you not wear red shoes, or not to eat chicken. "OH NO! I don't want to take Marijuana, so I need a federal law punishing users worse than murderers!"

I've never taken any illegal drugs before, admittedly, for health reasons. But I know people, and have friends who have, and I can see how ridiculous the crackdown on drugs is because of hypocritical American bureaucrats who have to impose their own nosy views on others!

And why is categorizing and stereotyping bad against everyone EXCEPT druggies? We are arrogant and condescending towards users, acting as if they're all a mess shaking in a corner, desperate to get high. That is NOT true!

The bias research done against drugs is extraordinary propaganda! Society's attitude towards the issue isn't even legitimate because we base it off of fear mongering from High School than true facts!

But the bottom line is that even if drugs are bad for you, why care what someone else does? Do we honestly need a law against it?

On the abortion issue, I remember a speech where Paul said unborn children have rights to be protected by the constitution. It has nothing to do with being pro-life, or pro-choice, but instead opening our eyes to the issue. He has no issue if people have an abortion a day or two after rape. In fact, he even explained during Piers Morgan what he'd do if one of his daughters were raped! (Give her a shot of estrogen as an "inner" condom to prevent a complete fertilization.)

Before conception there can be no abortion. RP would prevent the pregnancy before conception occurs.

I cannot vote for anyone like Obama, or the other candidates who have no consideration for our personal liberties and values, our money, or even other completely other sovereign countries!

Obama can be best described as this: He promises you $1000 dollars. Then he comes up behind you, STABS YOU IN THE BACK, kicks you to the ground, PISSES on you, then leaves ONLY $100 bucks. He might have given you $100 bucks, but he still attacked you! Just because he does one good thing doesn't mean he cares about us! If you do one good thing, it doesn't make up for the bad things! If he stabs you with a knife, he obviously stabbed you with a knife!

Please stop posting this bullshit about how "debt is ruining America". This is a Republican rhetorical tool to enforce even more cuts to social programs and push through the Randroit agenda.

I will now post this video for the millionth+2nd time:

Without debt our current monetary system wouldn't have *any* money. If you believe this is ridiculous you are not alone, but it's true never the less. To change this, monetary reform would be needed.

Ron Paul happens to be one of the people calling for this... however his prescribed "solution" would be almost sure to fail, as it has already failed in the past. Moving to a gold standard wouldn't fix the system and it'd give inordinate power to those with gold reserves.

It'd keep the value of the dollar more stable, however it'd also constrict credit at the same time. It'd also do nothing to alleviate the fact that the government can't make money, instead it has to literally borrow it from private banks creating out of thin air, then pay ever more debt service for this.

Ah, you're as bad as the mass media. Spewing out half-truths as if you never even bothered to read the documents that you so dutifully cited, or perhaps you didn't even bother to come up with your own thought, but just joined the bandwagon.

I don't even have to go further than your first point. You put it so blankly that people are inclined to read into the situation as "Oh God! Ron Paul is a racist!" When all he actually said was that he felt that the Civil Rights Act of 1964 was a poor piece of legislation because it gave the federal government too much power over the hiring policies of individual companies with the pretense that it was to ensure racial equality. He never said he had a problem with that, but has a problem with the fact that the act has become the fore-bearer for other bills that have allowed the federal government to have mandate over the hiring policies in the United States beyond what is socially or economically necessary. Consider how many business have to keep track of their ratio of male-to-female employees, keep in mind why so many applications ask you for your race. Ever wondered why something so irrelevant matters? Yeah, because of bills that have been inspired by the poor wording of that act.

Besides, he even stated that American has made great strides in race quality, but that he feels that it shouldn't be contributed to the Civil Rights Act, and I'd have to agree.

I might talk about the others later, but your first argument is so pathetic in it's attempt, I don't even want to bother. Should I have to facepalm that many times, with that level of ferocity, I might give myself a concussion.

Frankly, the bigoted one is you.

Big Lundi stated that Ron Paul wants to repeal the civil rights act... which is true. He never went into detail whether this was a good or bad idea, or why Ron Paul thinks it should be repealed.

However what he stated is true.
Ron Paul *does* want to repeal the Act.

You by comparison have immediately started an Ad-Hominem attack on Big Lundi instead trying to refute his claims or dispute them. You didn't refute his actual claim, instead you tried to skew things to show him in a bad light.

If you've merely sticked to disputing his claim that the repeal of the Civil Rights Act equals Ron Paul being a racist then your post would have been civil and would've stood as a piece of solid rhetoric. Since you didn't, it doesn't.

These sites are the embodiment of what was wrong with the hentai scene before FAKKU and other "ethical" sharing sites showed up:

1) They upload licensed anime and the publisher doesn't get a cent of the profits!
2) They use fansubs and the original translators are not acknowledged in any form! Meanwhile the profits off the streamed content go into the pockets of the site owner... guess how much is used to comission new works? NADA.
3) The video is streamed... often on Megaerotica or Megaupload... so these dipshits don't even buy their own hosting!

Don't be a PMS-ing cunt, get your hentai from the publishers (licensed) / translators (unlicensed) directly!

...if you gotta pirate licensed anime, at least have the common courtesy to *torrent* it, that way advertising money won't go to dipshits who take a turd over everyone else's work.

so dont do it

the best idea is a waterproof keyboard then you can do it (about 20 usd)

BULLSHIT.

If you bothered to pay attention you'd know OP's keyboard no longer works anyway, so its not like he can "ruin" it. If you actually watched the damn film, you'd see that what he washes are the mechanical overlay and nothing else... which have no electronics in them. Of course this only works with keyboards that use contact films, but he actually points that out in the film.

I've "repaired" my own wireless keyboard in a similar manner after I've spilled some wine *into* it.

The key part is that one needs to clean the contact films with clean water or rubbing alcohol and dry them so they no longer stick.

I'VE DONE THIS, IT WORKS... so stop spouting bullshit. Trying this won't cost anything and may spare him the $10-$20 a new board might cost him.

Name: Paul Kovacs
Shadowname: Dussack
Gender: Male
Race: Dwarf
Age: 24

Looks: Mousy brown hair, brown eyes... average looks. Surprisingly tall for a dwarf, in fact he's usually mistaken for a human. Keeps his chin almost religiously clean-shaven. He hates ale, in fact his favorite drink is whiskey on the rocks. Tends to dress smartly, usually going for a wage-slave look, blending into the crowd. As most dwarfs he's strong and hardy... but going against the stereotype he's insanely fast, almost twitchy.

Personality: Sarcastic with a penchant for outbursts of profanity, tends to keep his cool when on The Run. Is in the midst of an identity crisis and for all the intellectual acceptance of dogma, he's finally having a personal experience of what Trans-humanism might entail... he's not taking it well. It's one thing to know something on an intellectual level, it's another to experience it as something happening, changing you.

Skills/Powers: Here's the deal. You want some suit wiped? Call me, put down a deposit, the mark gets his accident then you pay the rest. You want security? Deposit, delivery, payment. Like clock-work. I get the job done. Most of the time you won't even know I was there. I'm fast, you see. Faster than the eye can track, faster than your average street-sam on the trigger, fast like a juiced up otaku on his hot-sim raid of the Playboy Mansion.

I don't use force... I don't need it. I don't use firepower... I don't need it. A double-tap, Death clapping the mark on the shoulder that it's time to go. Hi-Vel express delivery into the cranium, right through the eyes. Hiss!-fwoop!-fwoop!-thuum... the holdout's already back in its holster, or better yet, lies discarded on the pavement and I'm already just another terrified passerby. Heck, they could put me through screening then and there most of the time... I don't have much cyber, just the usual jack & slot with the comlink below. They can put me under the scanner and I'll look like just another Joe Average.

That's me, your silver bullet for hire. No mess, no fuss, just slotted marks and a job well done... well usually. Sometimes things get messy. I still deliver. Big mess, big fuss, marks very much slotted and no clues to tie the mark to you. Tends to happen when you Johnsons play with cards too tight to your chest... that'll cost you extra by the way.

Weaknesses: Has a pretty sophisticated AI in his cranial computer that edges ever closer to self-awareness. Said AI also uses his own gray matter for computing. Some big players out there are looking for him to get the thing... is living pretty much on the run. Lately has taken up drinking to numb the existential horror of getting swallowed up by the thing in his head.

Background: OK. Since I'm stuck with you, I might as well get my money's worth. You're supposed to be good at this navel-gazing shit. So here goes...

Being the son of an B+ company's CEO (read: Cranky Evil Ogre) is hard enough nowadays, what with cutthroat competition for the few supplier contracts, usually in areas deemed too mundane (read: deadbeat) by Triple-As. Being a metahuman son of said CEO who takes each & every opportunity to remind you how much of a disappointment you are (read: not a towering jock like the "Big Manâ„¢" used to be) is harder still.

I still wouldn't have given a shit, if not for a little incident my Da's ego brought me. I'd been content living my life, being just another suit. But no, the Big Cheese had to open his goddamn mouth, and make a stand. He'd show them! Never mind that his dumb ass couldn't even afford me a scholarship at a proper school with a dedicated security guards, tweed suits and all of the Dead Poets Society crap. No, I had to go to some community school for the gifted, where any fucking salary-man's son in the area could attend... and thus it wasn't altogether hard for someone to arrange my "accident"... if you wanna call being beaten into a quadriplegic an accident.

Most guys would've been hooked on BTLs, drugs or something... it's not like you can do a lot when the only change in your day is when you nurse comes to swap diapers. I took up brooding instead. You see, my Da choose this moment to realize he's a family man. After all those years, he realized that I'm the only son he's going to get. So every day he came into my room and started yapping about how sorry he is... Intentionally ignoring him while doing nothing, that must've hurt. There was no polite excuse that I'm busy, that there's anything keeping my mind off what's going on. There I was, staring at the ceiling, not saying a word, while the man was literally tearing himself to pieces... God, I was such a bastard.

You see, my Da, God bless his mono-maniac soul, couldn't take no for an answer. At the time regrowing spinal tissue was impossible and full-body-cybernetics were blacker than the inside of a troll's asshole. It seemed like I'd live my life slurping corn starch through a straw. Da wouldn't have that. With his usual fervor he scoured the world for a solution...

Enter Berger Streissman, (posthumus) sainted evangelist of the Church of Trans-Humanism Unchained, Matrix millionaire with an up and coming solo-A company of his own. Most folks at the time and even today, view tech as stuff that lets you do shit better and that's it. It might take you places, it might give you new insights but all in all it's just tech as usual, tools at your disposal. Not to Trans-humanists. To them, tech is something that changes you first and foremost. The Metalheads preach about the weakness of the flesh, the transcendence of cybernetic bodies. Wireheads preach about leaving your body behind altogether and living in the world of digital perfection... and us Holistics claim that there's no hard barrier to the self.

I'm a convert, you see... The only man to ever receive Streissman's "blessing", before AzTek or some other triple-fucking-A took 'im and the whole wing of the hospital out. Nowadays tech that can do what I got is common place... back then, well it was truly revolutionary. It still is. Most guys on my level look like a fucking Terminator or a reject from the Thing. Me? I'm normal. Why put in a dozen separate systems, when a single, general purpose computer could do all you want as long as its properly wired up? The answer is most folks would be terrified to live their whole life with an AI sharing their skull. To achieve that level of control, the thing has to be able to take over the majority of your functions. It has to breath, look, hear, move, jump, leap... the works. A separate nervous system, a separate "digital you", that's like you, but not quite.

...I was out in physico-rehab when the bombs hit. Lucky me, the guy in the room over, my Da helping Streissman sell his spiel, the prophet himself and the hundred other patients... not so. High-tailing out of there seemed like a good idea, and I've been on the run ever since... but you know that.

So tell me Saul, when will I go completely bonkers, when will you take over the rest of my life? You've been there, sharing my gray matter for processing, using the neural shunts they put in to boost my body beyond its threshold when we wipe a mark. You're there when I'm taking a shit, you're there when I'm having sex...

...you're there when I look into a mirror and wonder if this piece of crap, psychotherapy program I just loaded into active memory is doing anything! Are you listening Saul? Of course you are... and the hell of the thing is, I no longer know whether the hand reaching for the gun is yours or mine... we've got company...

For we know in part, and we prophesy in part.
But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away.
When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.
For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.

I'm very much interested in participating. May I suggest using Mythweavers for character sheets? They're ready made and can be accessed at will by anyone with the link.

I assume we would be using 4th edition? Do we use the revised rules in the 20th edition of the core book? (This is very much suggested, as the changes are pretty much stuff that's in the old book's errata). Should we make standard 400 BP characters?

As my 5th and last waifu, I claim Hoshino Ruri, the Electronic Fairy from Martian Successor Nadesico.

Spoiler:

Like the other girls I've choses, she too stands between two worlds, is more to her than meets the eye and plays against the stereotype while being an archetype herself. In her case, the type is the Yamato Nadesico, and while being softly spoken, gentle and feminine - especially once into her teens - she can be almost bluntly honest and straight-forward.

What particularly struck me about her demenaur was that while her extraordinary abilities are very much a part of her, she never lets them go to her head and is also aware of just how fucked up her childhood was and is ambivalent about whether she had the better deal.

Welcome to the real world, were western culture DESTROYS AND MUTILATES cartoons :)

I'd have to disagree. Some of the merchandising driven cartoons in the late 80', early '90 had rather good animation and the story-lines too were sometimes rather mature, - as in "refined" - especially for syndicated television.

As these faded, we were back to Saturday morning slap-stick kids shows... until Gendy Tartakowsky and his "Cartoon Cartoons" came along. Which were brilliant in my opinion. Sure they were low budget, limited animation stuff done in Flash... but it worked! It was funny! ...and it had heart.

Gutting Samurai Jack and putting out Gendy to greener pastures heralded the downfall of Cartoon Network in my opinion.

He had another chance to show how well he understood the medium when he made the kick ass (and totally superior, to the didactic and dumbed down 3D) Star Wars cartoons.

I wonder what he's up to these days?

I watched primarily Looney Tunes growing up, and then the standard collection of Transformers, TMNT, Amazing Spiderman, and Power Rangers.

G1 Pokemon was the very last "kids" cartoon that I've watched before phasing into the "I'm too cool for that kiddy shit" stage of the teenage years. The anti-Pokemon movement got into full swing the following year.

Same. Thunder Cats, He-man, GI Joe and Transformers, Visionaries, SilverHawks... and my favorite show that I only found out later was really anime, Voltron! I had all the Voltron toys and loved that show.... probably why later I liked Power Rangers... if only for a little while.

The thing is, a great number of "Amercian cartoons" were actually animated by Japanese or Philippine animators. Swat Kats, Brave Star, Silverhawk, Galaxy Ranger... all of these had a lot of parts contracted out and at the time that meant Japan. This persisted for later too, for instance the Batman of the Future movie, Return of the Joker was also drawn in Japan.

First:I have to agree with Randumb's and Lollikittie's remarks about separation of church and state: it's there for a reason and removing it would pave the way for the very tyranny of the majority that has sent the Puritans fleeing from Europe in the first place.

Second: Ron Paul is every bit as bad as he's made out to be. The current political system is seriously fucked up, especially since it's being controlled by big business.

His solution? Smash the machines and hope everything turns out all right... Do I need to go into detail why this is the worst thing that could happen?

Government is not just some bureaucracy that "interferes" with our lives. It's the embodiment of the people's will, and the it is the government that enforces that will.

Without it, the public will be at the "tender" mercies of corporations and all figures of authority as there won't be a system in place to keep them in check.

The States can't be that check, as they are already miles deep in the pockets of corporations through debt and are just as much corrupt as federal government.

Third: The proposed "expert" government is a *very* bad idea. Why? Because "experts" have already taken over the government as is. They don't make decisions. They frame the very context of decisions... which is a lot greater power.

Yves Smith - Econned wrote...

Most citizens like to believe that the push and pull of political processes will filter out bad, extreme, and untested ideas. But economists have become the only social scientists with a seat at the policy table, and their expert status is above challenge. This is a peculiar, and not sufficiently recognized, aggrandizement of the economist’s role at the expense of democratic processes or even input from other disciplines. That in and of itself distorts policy formation.

Economists have shaped the assumptions of what the goals of policy are, namely maximum growth consistent with moderate inflation and unemployment. And “growth” means rising output, most commonly measured by gross domestic product, or GDP, which measures all the goods and services produced in an economy in a given year.

GDP was never meant to serve as a proxy for social welfare. Indeed, the Nobel laureate who was one of its main creators, Simon Kuznets, warned, “The welfare of a nation can scarcely be inferred from a measurement of national income.” Yet it has become an article of faith, particularly among politicians, that growth in output is tantamount to improving standards of living.

Simple income or output measures mean that anything that leads to more spending looks like a boon, whether it really is or not. For instance, the Exxon Valdez oil spill, with its sizable remediation costs, litigation, and expenses incurred by the media in covering the disaster, boosted Alaska’s GDP more than if the shipment had arrived in port safely. Similarly, if someone were to discover a cheap cure for cancer, it would probably lower GDP due to the loss of income to doctors, hospitals, and drug companies. Another failing is that GDP fails to capture non-income based measures of progress, such as social stability. As Robert F. Kennedy said, “It measures everything, in short, except that which makes life worthwhile.”

In addition, many economists would support programs that led to higher GDP, and not trouble themselves too deeply if the result was that Bill Gates became richer and everyone else was less well off. While that example may seem extreme, rising income inequality has been rationalized as an inevitable and acceptable outcome of lower trade barriers and the application of technology that promotes overall growth. It is, of course, impossible to know whether other policy mixes might have produced the same or higher levels of overall growth, while simultaneously ensuring more equitable distributions of results.

My Conclusion: The only cure for the various ails of the system is direct participation in democracy by the *whole* population. Not just voting, but discussion of political choice in daily life, simultaneous participation in politics at the local and federal levels.

We already have the technology that makes this possible: The Internet. You could directly express your views on various laws and policies and could contribute your own ideas to the mix. Why do we still insist on rule by an elected minority - who are elected in a fraudulent manner! - when we could rule ourselves directly?
