I like both, but I seem to lean more towards seinen in most cases.

The fact being that they may be cut into slices, but when you get it, they're in a circle. No sharp corners there my friend.

Go for the head...

How many of you people have actually read into it. Don't just read the "end of the world" articles and say I'm done reading, I should do something else. Thats one possibility and in many instances its only an assumption. Many theories, especially ones centering around the end of the Meso-American calendar, state that its essentially a end to this world and the beginning of a new one. Many believe that there will be a shift into the collective conscious of mankind. There are a lot of references to the start of an age of enlightenment.

I'm personally, not counting on anything happening specifically on the date. One day is not enough time for anything significant to occur. Anything that does would have been in the works for months, maybe years beforehand. The only thing that I would put any stock into are the theories of the progression of human consciousness, seeing as how I've been researching the subject for a long time. However, I don't really see 12/12/12 specifically, worth noting as the whole evolution process is a constant process and there are only a couple of events that correspond with that date.

Regardless of what happens, I'm going to wake up that day, just as I do every other day, provided I'm still alive then, and I'll waste the day away, just as I do every other day.

I believe in the barter system. I don't think the current economic systems of the world can do much good for the world in the long run. Just look at how money has influenced the current state of the world.

Ruling the world and controlling the world are two different things. It could be possible to control the entire world, but it would take extreme measures. Simply ruling the world would require all nations to accept you as being in a seat of power that overrides any establish organization, government, monarchy, regime, etc.. Personally, I would think that the world would be more comfortable with a single ruler, considering the fact that so many countries are so dissatisfied with their current leaders. One way to take control, while not alienating others would be to allow individual countries, certain ones, to maintain they're established governments, but they would have to go through you before they did anything. I'm not saying complete autocracy, but giving them some freedom to act.

In my overall "plan" there would be no concern about the economies collapsing and military destruction, because those are all things that would be essentially "phased out" and restructured in the beginning stages of the ruler's ascent to power.

So naturally I assume, no tits?

Yes it is...

By the way, my cat really likes this video.

For many things I would say it doesn't matter, but square pizza makes me uncomfortable. What if you trip and poke poke your eye on one of the corners :? ? Circular pizza is safer.

Yeah, in 5th or 6th grade some kid got suspended and wasn't allowed to come back to school until he was cleared by a psychologist because he made a hit list. For some reason I can't imagine I was at the top of it. I barely even knew him.

Sometimes you need to be ruthless, its kind of the law of the land. Of course the meat shields are only meant to be used utilized if you can't suppress the rebellion before it gets to that point. Its always good to have a back-up plan.

In selecting an heir, there's really no guarantee that the one you choose will be suitable. You can only set an example and hope for the best. There are a few extenuating circumstances where you might be able to find the perfect one, but like I said power corrupts people. It seems kind of apathetic, but by the time you're successor is to take over, you should be willing to accept the collapse of what you've accomplished. Nothing lasts forever, and since you'll be dead, its not much of your concern. I think Charles has the right idea though, keeping fucking until you have mad kids and then let them sort it out among themselves, of course throwing your two cents in every so often.

The measure of a ruler is what he accomplishes in his reign.

I guess you're right, but Chigusa could, technically, be considered a different character.

Does anyone else find that Cornelia and Villetta really weren't suited for this contest? There's a couple others, but those 2 I don't look at and think moe.

Ditto is lucky as hell. It can get whatever it wants. As long as it doesn't transform all retarded like the one from the really early episodes of the series.

Me too. At first it was kind of a "this is kind of fucked up, so we should stop it" type thing, but after putting a golf club through a computer, knocking the arm off of a chair, and smashing a few windows, I wasn't really concerned with what they were doing.

Continuing on from where I left off...
Rebellions are the types of things that can act as a double-edged sword. On one hand, a force of people opposing your rule could gain enough momentum to sway a massive amount of people in their favor. However, there are a number of ways to turn it in your favor. As I said, killing them is an effective, but risky course of action. Nothing says fear me like wiping out a rebel army in one fell swoop, but it also turns them into martyrs. That is why you create a buffer zone around you. It might not be the most moral thing to do is, use innocent people as a shield, but make it seem as if the rebels are at fault for their deaths. If you're a supposed "man of the people" and you keep the weak, sick, feeble, etc., close to you, there is a great chance that if someone were to rise up, they would be caught in the cross fire. Their deaths would garner sympathy from the public and you did whatever you could to "protect them from the bloodthirsty rebels."

However, there is no reason why a good ruler should ever have to go to such lengths. That is where solidifying your power base comes in. If you have a strong network of friends and "followers" that are 100% loyal to you, the larger the better, you can plant people in various situations to act in your favor when it seems that some people might not be so thrilled with you. There's also the simple matter of satisfying the people. Power corrupts people, that's why you be strong of heart and mind if you are to take over the world. You can't just go killing people all willy-nilly, living in excess, and acting at the expense of the people.

Taking over the world, as I've said multiple times, is a complicated process and maintaining it is even more so. The only way to successfully do both is to work within your means and manage things in a way that will make you appear to be best suited for the power you wield. Peace isn't always a good thing. Sometimes there needs to be an element of chaos so that you can reassure you're people that you are able to provide them with hope.

A couple years ago my garage was like the #1 chill spot in my town and this one time, one of my friends, who was like 25 or something, was fucking a 16 year old and me, my brother, and like 5 of my friends busted in there with golf clubs and baseball bats and just started breaking shit. Then we sat down and started smoking a blunt.
