oh.  Its still hard.  At what point do the parents have too much say?  Hopefully he gets a chance to make his own ethics.  We all should.

In fact, its my understanding thats a concept in debate recently . . .

Mandatory parental training upon reaching puberty. Anyone who doesn't pass is castrated. We defeat both overpopulation and people being terrible at parenting.

I'd question the format of the test but I am guessing it is asking for the most appropriate action.

Since... a baby doesn't necessarily want to eat just because it is crying.

Last day of last term, finalizing my last assignment of my IT Diploma in Networking

Girl in class has 2 hours left of term ... 2 assignments to finish that she hasn't started or read any of the material. And I thought I was procrastinating when I prepare notes the night before and fix it up in the computer labs on the day it's due.

Asking me how to do the assignment, ended up helping her out because she's a foreign student and she pays $500 / class unlike me who is getting that for free, and if she doesn't get the work done in that 2 hours she's hit with $500 in fees to re-enroll.

First, I said to her, ok start a new document. Conversation ensues:

"how do I do that?"

"you don't know how to make a blank Document?"

"No."

WTF how can someone be near graduation of a Tech diploma for sys admins and they don't know how to make a new text file or word doc?

Perhaps not the castration thing, instead force them to retake the course until they manage to pass.

Playing Megaman Legends... 2, specifically, for the first time in quite a long while. I... I don't remember these games being set in a freakish hell-world. But apparently they are. Those reaverbots are kinda' terrifying, especially when you consider it seems they occasionally run rampant and slaughter entire towns. Then you look around and notice that some folks, by all appearances, sacrifice limbs and whatnot just to be able to (fail to) defend themselves from these things.

Somehow civilization manages to scratch out a continued existence, but it's almost difficulty to figure out how.

I guess in retrospect the Megaman games tend to be set in incredibly dark settings. It's somehow difficult to actually notice it.

It's...difficult to notice it? (I'm questioning that but I don't know if I'm thinking of the same Megaman game XD)
Because what I remember is a band of soldiers protecting a princess...who slowly die out one by one until the last man gives his life to defend her [cue megaman popping up post-x_x] (in a jungle-esque) setting...and the dialogue was just so... :'(
...That was very touching. Also I think that was the prologue too >_>

I don't recall the humans even surviving in Megaman Zero continuity if you don't count Dr. Wily joining the Sigma Virus hivemind.

Yeah, you're thinking of Megaman Zero, Tiru -- the GBA stuff. Legends is something very significantly different, continuity wise, insofar as I'm aware. Do note that, while that scene was touching (well, I'd actually call it terribly desperate more than touching, but...), it was set in a world where the vast majority of the human population is dead, most of the remainder is under a tyrant, and much of the world has been rendered an unlivable hellscape (that is also populated by varying degrees of rampaging deathbot). If I'm not misremembered, a great deal of the plot of one of the the Zero games is trying to find a place for humans to live again, what few remain. It's also a scene where, if plotnanigans hadn't happened and they found zero, the scientist being protected would have been very much killed.

And humans did survive in that one, obj. Just... not very many. It might have been the X continuity that eventually ended up with them all dead, I'unno. I forget exactly how the Zero/ZX and X stuff mesh, if at all.

... really, the base Megaman stuff -- not X, Z, or Legends -- is probably the least thematically horrifying of the major stuff, and it still has a madman (or two) regularly holding vast swaths of the world hostage and probably involves a terrifying number of off camera deaths. It's... something about the presentation of the games tends to lend to not paying attention to it, but they're generally set in what are genuinely terrible scenarios. If it's not a crapsack world (X, Z) it's basically a deathworld (Legends, Z, X after a while), and in several of them it's painful obvious the human species is barely existent or has been massively damaged.

It goes Timeline split -> Classic -> Zero -> ZX -> Legends
                    v
          Battle Network -> Star Force

All things considered Legends is sortof the happy ending of the Classic timeline at the moment, as far as setting details go compared to the parts of the franchises that come before it save for Classic. In terms of the tone at least. I don't know much about the second game admittedly save for the infamous cliffhanger but seriously, the first Legends and the Tron Bonne games are pretty much a saturday morning anime in video game form.

In other news I wake up, look at facebook, and find the senior members of my schools anime club have derailed the cyber monday swag discussion into a 77 post long brainstorming jam for making a dating sim about Ben & Jerry ice cream flavors

Yeah, most of my point would be that there's a vaguely incredibly disconnect between the tone and the setting, with legends. The second's playable parts open up with a ministory about saving a man who goes ruins hunting, nearly gets killed, and then refuses to leave because he woke up a machine that was going to get out and kill the entire local population. Which is surrounded by wasteland, broken buildings, and homicidal deathbots hiding in the snow. It's like, goddamn.

Yes, much of it is saturday morning cartoon level plot, but it is set in a freaking deathworld.
