United Launch Alliance? So even Fuwanovel has its limits, eh?

I'm not judging... but in this case I might start

How young is the cut off age for lolis? (Let's imagine she's 21)

Mostly J's these days. I like 'em in all flavors. I haven't listened to anything American unless it's on the car and I'm cruising with the radio in the background. If so, then just country or classics. There's a lot of meaning in words about the simplistic enjoyment of life.

Well you just drew my dream draw. With 9 gems left to gather, I don't know if I'll make it in time for the drawing this time.

I like non-traditional, traditional type sports Chihayafuru - poetry swiping competition with a love triangle Hikari No Go - Go competition with the support of a (Meiji?) era ghost

If you're talking about here then yes. If you're talking about the whole of the internet then no, I wasn't the one that started it. I finished the manga right when the show came out and that's when GB rumors were still flying around. I'm guessing it started from 4chan. Like every gossip out there, there are good ones and there are bad ones . With this one, there has definitely been lack of evidence with more translated pieces on Mine like I said, so it goes in the trash bin for now. /Shrug, to each their own. It's pointless to argue over taste.

To me the most powerful confession was one short line Shirou, anata wa aishite It made me understand how powerful the word is compared to if Saber had just said, "Suki desu" and then disappeared.

Lol if only it was that simple. They also introduced Team Idols and Team Maid. I'm kind of attracted to Lida's bubbly/carefree personality too. Team Onee-san.

I can attest to these Loli-onee sans myself. Love them if only for their contradictory personalities and bodies. Their body signals usually come off more mature as well. They say body language communicates the majority of the time. I wonder how true that is. If so, that may be all that is important to loli lovers.

This is season is full of females that gets my blood pressure rising. Rail Wars Sakurai tsunderes in all the right places for me, and I typically hate tsunderes. Haruka was pitiful at the end there. I wonder how she'll make it out of there next episode. I hope they just sweep that issue under the rug because the Idol appeared.

If you say so. I personally prefer that useless meat on a womans' rump over oppai anyhow. When I was young, I liked the young meat. When I got older the expiration date on my meat preference expanded. It goes something like this: 11 year old Crunchytaco ---- Likes 10-12 years old. 14 year old Crunchytaco ---- Likes 12-17 year olds. 22 year old Crunchytaco ---- Likes 17-29 year olds (present) 27 year old Crunchytaco ---- likes 22-40 year olds I feel like Lolicons are stuck in time. Their body grows but their mind stays the same - intelligence wise they can be very intelligent. Hence why they still like girls that age. I'm not too worried about protecting females. In this day and age there are laws and policemen around lol. Saber tooth tiger are extinct. Most anime loli have either special powers or are super brain children who can look after themselves better than I can. ----- About the first part you asked me hypothetically what the difference is. Welll, how about I put it in this scenario. What is the difference between a trap and non-trap character? They both look the same, and neither of them will most likely show their nether regions in an Anime. Yet, just hearing that "He's a dude" part is a enough to turn most people off. Otherwise nothing on screen had changed.

This but in high quality. I've been listening to it on repeat since last night. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lmwoad7q7c4

The very ones that claim to protect them...

My question is what do Lolis need defending from?

Shut-up!

^Beautiful ones

I just saw the CGs here like everyone else

1. Not all breeds dig. Your domesticated dogs could have those traits bred out of them through selective breeding. My dog is wild and not classified under "breed' like most western dogs. It still retains all the natural traits of its ancestors that we find useless (i.e. digging and howling *facepalm*). 2. You have to go into further detail why you think it needs revising. Sounds like you've been watching Sci-Fi. Here's my take on it I like a good sci fi like any Anime fan here. Blade runner and Bicentennial were indeed entertaining movies and I won't dismiss your point simply because we're now imagining scenarios from a science fiction POV. In those situations I would have less of a problem including human rights and titles to discriminated beings. Sounds more like the problem of inclusive groups who won't allow people into heaven because they don't worship the same god. It's not like my argument carries some connotation about humans. If you've been paying attention, I've been saying the opposite. Other than my literal understanding of the word, I don't have any other imagined ideas about it. I have to add that the plot of most sci fis are written with blatantly human perspectives. They don't even try to look at it through the lens of another being which is unfortunate if you're looking for that sort of thing. In the end, I still yet have a better proposition. We COULD keep calling ourselves human to avoid confusion. We could just strip that self-entitled meaning of the word now, so our discriminatory doesn't continue bleeding into the next generation, long before we either come in contact with E.T. or load up our first setient A.I. on our desktop (or both). 3. It wasn't specifically directed at you and I do apologize if you thought I meant so. The rest of your point is going to get too long and OT. I'll have to opt of this part of the discussion. I'm not trying to make this a knock against religion for the sake of knocking down religion, but it's starting to sound that way. 4. The idea was taken from the Bible describing [edit note*]Ham's descendants in the old testament. Since the early days of exploration, when Westerners came in contact with the Moors, they have been familiar with dark skin people and believed that these people were the cursed descendants of Cain. Reports came back of beast like men and women with animal sized phallus and breasts . It wasn't a just a moral justification for slavery during the colonial period. By why stop with the goodies there? The old Testament is full of goodies, like Lot giving up his daughters for gang raped in order to protect two angels who didn't need protection. In return those daughters raped him after one of them got him drunk. Incest and rape is cool but homosexuality is a sin, got it. Make fun of your elders back in the days, and God sent bears after you, makes sense. Eat from a fruit tree... well you get the idea. Most people who think the bible is a book of love conveniently leave out the OT, where God describes himself as a jealous prick. After God stopped raining fire on everyone in the old testament, he made some improvements in the New Testament. But he still created a pit of fire for anyone who didn't see eye-to-eye with Jesus. And the punishment lasted for eternity, which is much worse than any death in the Old Testament. Cross out improvement. Unfortunately I've spent a lot of time quoting the Bible in the past for Bible believers, so you'll have to excuse me on this one if I ask you to do the reading yourself on this one. I feel like I'm doing the reading for them every time . They aren't difficult to find. I grew up learning from pastors but everything can be googled these days. In the end I'm sure you'll find ways to rationalize any verses I throw at you anyhow. 5. You're in for a shock if that's all you see. Fastest growing religions in the world 1. Christianity 25,210,195 2. Islam 22,588,676 3. Hinduism 12,533,734 4. Chinese folk-religions 3,715,548 5. Buddhism 3,687,527 *Note discrepancy between the bottom 2 Asian religion and the top two Abraham religions. Fear of eternal hellfire too strong. These aren't my original sources but they come handy enough for this situation 6 facts about South Korea’s growing Christian population "In 1900, only 1% of the country’s population was Christian, but largely through the efforts of missionaries and churches, Christianity has grown rapidly in South Korea over the past century. In 2010, roughly three-in-ten South Koreans were Christian, including members of the world’s largest Pentecostal church,Yoido Full Gospel Church, in Seoul." China on course to become 'world's most Christian nation' within 15 years "If everyone in China believed in Jesus then we would have no more need for police stations. There would be no more bad people and therefore no more crime," she added. "China's Protestant community, which had just one million members in 1949, has already overtaken those of countries more commonly associated with an evangelical boom. In 2010 there were more than 58 million Protestants in China compared to 40 million in Brazil and 36 million in South Africa, according to the Pew Research Centre's Forum on Religion and Public Life. Prof Yang, a leading expert on religion in China, believes that number will swell to around 160 million by 2025. That would likely put China ahead even of the United States, which had around 159 million Protestants in 2010 but whose congregations are in decline." There isn't a large coverage on religion in Vietnam because the government is trying its best to suppress it, but it has a huge underground following of Christianity as well. --------- *edit - Descendants of Ham who were believed to carry the curse from Cain.

Discussing religion always gets me heated lol. I try to avoid topics more so about politics than religion but when I start with either, it's hard to stop. I've seen a lot of friendships break apart over it. Never discuss politics and religion in polite company

if there was a dislike button, I feel like I'd get one.

Iie, wakarimasen!

The artwork from the sequels seemed much improved from the first one. There were angels of the girls that didn't look like the girls in their original sprites.

My point was, Socrates wasn't the greatest person to be quoting about enjoyment in life. It has nothing to do with being a flawless human being. You sure exercise a lot of excuses to religion. Religion isn't to be blamed (there are some peaceful ones), except when it teaches right from its book that dark skinned people are an evil race. Boy we sure learn from the past and evolve, because that religion is becoming one of the biggest religions in the world, infiltrating countries in Asia and vying for complete control against national religions over there because of the belief that they are the one true religion, just like almost every other religion. Another mistake is to believe that humans are the only ones capable of great cruelty or great kindness. Territory disputes is common among many animals down to what we believe are the "lowest" of life forms. Like us, psychopathy and sociopathy have also been documented in animals. Our ability to manipulate the environment with fingers, coincidentally came along with the evolution for bigger brains during the time are unique traits to humans, just as bigger claws and living in extreme conditions are unique to other species. That has nothing to do with either religion or philosophy. Ignorance on a subject doesn't equal absurdity . It just means you're ignorant on the matter and it only takes two seconds to Google these days out of respect for the person you're discussing with. Anyhow I never said humans were only a degree smarter than other animals. Having bigger brains is one of the traits of a human and can be easily observable by us without the need for explanation by either philosophy or religion. I was just pointing out to you those traits you listed aren't unique. It's all a matter of scale. Some traits are bigger in scale in certain species and lower in others, but the traits you listed aren't unique. Just because it isn't exhibited the way we understand it, doesn't mean we're the only ones who possess it. Pain is a concept we're only starting to understand for example. We used to believe and a lot still do think only vertebrates are capable of processing pain. But we're discovering that this isn't true at all. Feeding our hunger is instinctual. How does rejecting that and saving up a snicker benefit their survival (Gorillas)? These Gorillas in captivity know they don't have to worry about going hungry over the next meal. Also You know that saving up food is a measure of intelligence (planning ahead and all that) used when studying children right? How does a child saving up a snicker show rejection of instincts while in an animal it does not? No, a dolphin has never sent a probe into space, but we don't know if they wouldn't if they had evolved fingers. That's not the point. We don't identify with what we're not familiar with as humans, including other races of people. Why? Because religion said so despite their being practically superficial differences in our genetic make up. That makes our definition of humans murky. This whole concept of "what makes us human?" stemming from unscientific dogma is what led us to start looking down on others we don't deem as humans. We go to such great lengths to distinguish ourselves from one another, despite having less than a 5% difference in genetic variation with our closest common ancestor hence an alien looking at us would laugh at our arrogance.
