Hint: The age difference will never 'dwindle', you two are gonna be 5 years apart. If ya wanna date, then go date :). Age is nothing but a number, once you get past all the legalities.

Episode 15Spoiler:
I dropped Accel World
Spoiler:
That's a pity, because that means you left yourself out of a great ending to season one(But then, given your hatred of any kind of drama, suspense and plot twists, you wouldn't have liked it anyway.)
I know how you feel. When I was younger, I once shared feelings with a very special person to me. That person, much like your lover wanted more of a dominance that I wasn't quite comfortable with sharing. After all, to me a lover was(and still is), the most precious union/experience, etc you could possibly have. It'll be difficult, but for me I was able to become a Switch(both Dom/sub personalities), and I actually now think that's what we should be anyway. Equally deferring to, and taking the lead with our prospective partner depending on the situation, mood, etc.
It's a difficult transition, and I'll be honest: I still lean mostly submissive, but I can be aggressive and feisty and I can enjoy it. I'm sure you can to :).

We intellectual Alpha Males have got to stick up for each other. You value your academics and your career seriously, and frankly there are many people who don't. These same people, are yes, in fact, inferior. The difference between an intellectual and the 'average joe' amounts to little more than attention span. It's not like I was born with super smarts, I just paid more attention than the entirety of my classes(Most of whom, couldn't pay attention for 5 minutes.) So when you go out of your way to help them, and then they try to divert from the task at hand. You had all right to be annoyed, to refuse and to leave. Humility? Who needs it? It's derived off the word humiliation. I refuse to be humiliated, this Alpha Male shall always triumph :D.

There is nothing wrong with that! To be perverted is to be natural, the only reason people hide it is because it is so looked down on by our peers (who are hiding it as well).This, it's only natural to express sexual feelings and wants and desires. For me though, our perversion is actually a special quality. While man and woman may physically desire each other, I will only act upon mental stimulation or in other words, a woman that I can personally connect with.
Anything less than that sensual, spiritual connection isn't sexuality or perversion in the purest sense of the word.

I already fucked it up. One of the last things I said to her was "does your dad know where you are?"Yep, you fucked it up royally :D. She's 18, not some pre-teen or underaged lol.
But hey, it's a good learning experience for you: You're not one for the younger types.
I'd only be talking theoretically, but wouldn't it feel the best while she's jerking you and blowing you at the same time? I don't think I'd be able to control my little 'gun' in that situation :D.

You're thinking too much.This, an adult woman has finally started hitting on you and you're concerned? In most U.S. States, the age of consent ranges from 16-18 and in other countries, even lesser than that!
You're perfectly fine, and in fact there's a possibility you may be overthinking it in another way: She might not be that interested in you.

The worrying thing is, if a great number of governments do the same, what then?
The Netizens of the world grab their freaking pitch forks and charge :D. And if the egotistic politicians think the people of the world wouldn't respond, think again. They'd like to pin such a possible revolution on one person, but nope, all revolutions came at the head of abusive governments.

willing to work for and in unreasonably poor conditions. Heck even here in Australia big brand companies try to pull dodgy shit by not paying staff for their hours or trying to get them to do extra hours for nought (worked for one of those companies).So abolishing minimum wage would only make the problem worse.
[color=#2e1a6b]The lack of a desire to work is caused by unemployment benefits and other social programs, but that's for a different thread.
While I believe that we may be naturally inclined to take the easy way out(IE: Unemployment benefits and social programs), I think the social impact of these programs is overblown.
Example: My mom's worked a decade+ at UPS, as she was layed off, she used her 401K. It barely afforded a 2,000 dollar carpet! Food stamps and other benefits barely average to around 150 bucks, and we think people are surviving on this?
These programs do not cause a lack of desire to work, more than they do kill the human spirit period. If these programs actually worked, the families would be supported and stabilized so as to actually be able to economically pursue a job.
They actually incline for a person to hurry up and get a job, because barely living is just utterly unacceptable,
The educational factor is a real big factor, I believe Lundi. Many more young Americans are taking a path for business learning(I myself, aiming for a bachelor's in International Business), but the growth isn't enough. And often, with an absolute lack of direction in most American high schools(I should know, I had no training in business, or anything at all. I just took my classes like a dumbass robot. "Uh, okay, today I go to math."
Robert Kiyosaki, very prominent businessman and you could say an economist also points out the disparity in education, and in fact that those who've "made it", if you will want to keep it that way.

If we want to solve low wages, then we have to Nationalize the Economy. As mentioned, American-based companies cannot compete with those corporations that would shift their jobs overseas. So, vastly repeal NAFTA, only limiting trade to those allies who would engage in fair economic premises with us. It's not so much isolationism as it is returning to the premise of "Friendships with many, entangling alliances with none." Lower tariffs and taxes and keep them low, even AFTER signs of economic progress.
One of the things that governments seem to want to do, is to tax the population to sustain it's own meaningless vastly expensive programs. I believe we should keep our taxes low, if not to eventually do away with the whole concept of taxes. The government of the future, must be entirely self-dependant. If Government cannot sustain a value and a product for itself, then it simply cannot exist as a means of governance.

Laws like these don't end up having much teeth unless you're Megaupload I find. If you're an average dude/dudette who just so happens to be surfing the web, the goberments simply aren't gonna be interested in you :D. They have too little time, and too many important things to deal with. But groups such as Anonymous, hackers, etc, will actually bring negative attention to our little communities.
So, just let the government blow their smoke. They can't curtail all of us :D

I believe that race has a social constructive meaning, or in short much the same way as we are born and raised into our families, and we take the best traits from our parents, siblings, etc. The Mexican culture has it's way of doing things that's different from the North American Culture, the Asian community looks at life differently from the others, so too the same can be said for the European.
Scientifically, there may very well be few differences within our genetic makeup. But as far as social psychology is concerned, these differences are very real. It's been society's greatest mistake either to crucify these differences, or to outright ignore them. The solution is in the middle: To respect and allow these differences.
I know, most people like putting people into a box, declaring them to be "this" and to be done with it, but that's the antithesis to our nature and to the detriment of society.

Agreed, and this kind of makes it go into SD rather than IB.I thought IB due to the fact i doubt anyone intelligent could take this seriously~
I take the idea of a bunch of people being sentimentally stupid enough to give up their right to privacy over a false sense of security being serious lol.
It's not just in Aussie-ville, North America has equally become as sentimentally rubbish.
Europe=Where the mighty has fallen :(
Agreed, and this kind of makes it go into SD rather than IB. But, as tragic as this case is, no amount of CCTV cameras would prevent this crime from occurring or guaranteeing that the criminal is caught. All it would do, is increase the probability, meanwhile creating a quasi-stasi state to do so.
So, I agree: Aussies being stupidly sentimental here.

The animation looks less than that of Madoka to me, despite having a similar setting. I remember the witch labyrinths being much more, exotic to me.

There's been light discussion as to Albert Einstein's religious beliefs.Einstein was a pantheist.
He didn't believe in a personal god.
"The idea of a personal God is an anthropological concept which I am unable to take seriously. [Letter of 1946, Hoffman and Dukas]"
"What I cannot understand is how there could possibly be a God who would reward or punish his subjects or who could induce us to develop our will in our daily life. I cannot then believe in this concept of an anthropomorphic God who has the powers of interfering with these natural laws. [The Private Albert Einstein]"
"The man who is thoroughly convinced of the universal operation of the law of causation cannot for a moment entertain the idea of a being who interferes in the course of events - provided, of course, that he takes the hypothesis of causality really seriously. [New York Times Magazine November 9, 1930]"
"The more a man is imbued with the ordered regularity of all events the firmer becomes his conviction that there is no room left by the side of this ordered regularity for causes of a different nature. For him neither the rule of human nor the rule of divine will exists as an independent cause of natural events.
[Science, Philosophy, and Religion, A Symposium]"
He didn't believe in free will or a dualistic sense of a soul:
"In human freedom in the philosophical sense I am definitely a disbeliever. Everybody acts not only under external compulsion but also in accordance with inner necessity. [The World as I See It]"
"But the scientist is possessed by the sense of universal causation. The future, to him, is every whit as necessary and determined as the past. There is nothing divine about morality, it is a purely human affair. [The World As I See It]"
"Since our inner experiences consist of reproductions and combinations of sensory impressions, the concept of a soul without a body seems to me to be empty and devoid of meaning. [Letter of 5 February 1921]"
He didn't believe in the afterlife:
"An individual who should survive his physical death is also beyond my comprehension, nor do I wish it otherwise; such notions are for the fears or absurd egoism of feeble souls. [The World as I See It]"
Nor punishment of sins after death:
"If this being is omnipotent, then every occurrence, including every human action, every human thought, and every human feeling and aspiration is also His work; how is it possible to think of holding men responsible for their deeds and thoughts before such an almighty Being? In giving out punishment and rewards He would to a certain extent be passing judgment on Himself. How can this be combined with the goodness and righteousness ascribed to Him?"
[Out of My Later Years]
He believed prayer was useless:
"Scientific research is based on the idea that everything that takes place is determined by laws of nature, and therefore this holds for the actions of people. For this reason, a research scientist will hardly be inclined to believe that events could be influenced by a prayer, i.e. by a
wish addressed to a supernatural Being." [Einstein - The Human Side]
And finally, he was a pantheist:
"I believe in Spinoza's God who reveals himself in the orderly harmony of what exists, not in a God who concerns himself with the fates and actions of human beings." [Telegram of 1929, in Hoffman and Dukas]
Einstein believed that the world was a harmonious and beautiful thing, ruled by laws of causality and nature of all sorts, and that this was the only rationally thing that could be called, and the only thing he believed to be god.
Glad to clear that up for everyone.
Positively repped ya for the epic post and the quotations. Einstein sure didn't mince words, did he? He'd be crucified if he were alive in today's "politically correct" world.
It should be noted that the Founders held a relatively similar position of Deitism. In short, the American Founding Fathers acknowledged a Deity at the very least as a possibility and at the most, to the core of their beliefs.
However, contrary to those right-wing idiots, they didn't believe that America was a 'Christian Nation'(The untold story is a part of the rebellion was to get away from the official church of the British Empire, as a quasi-religious state) or a catholic nation, hindu, etc.
They just subscribed to the theory of a Deity, a theory that science has constantly debunked.
