Yeah, damn the U.S. for doing the same goddamn thing it's always done when there's a large immigration! America belongs to Native Americans! Oh wait...

the blog glyph gryph linked also has a great article on the bayonneta series, which is worth checking out (the article, not the stupid hair shit).

Man, it would be nice to live in a country where blackouts were uncommon enough to argue about. Nice indeed.

Actually, bringing up India (is that where Japa lives? From pictures it seemed vaguely like India, but I could be wrong), one thing I do think is stupid is the OUTSOURCING of jobs, but I can't for the life of me think of a way to regulate it. I agree the U.S. could stand to lower some more absurd union standard stuff (prevailing wage in major cities for contracting approaches 50 dollars/hour. Encouraging small, non-union business? Maybe not.), but you simply can't do that in the U.S. economy because it's too expensive to live here. Telecommunications are essential to getting a job here, while in other countries (okay, this mostly applies to african nations that receive no outsourcing, but it's an example), it's not necessary or available (which, don't get me wrong, should be fixed). That's a small example (and a quick one).

I admit that chainmail bikinis are a problem (Along with cloth ones) in fantasy settings, but really, that blog was getting a little bit nitpicky with some of those pictures. Just from that one article, the author gives me the feeling that they don't want anything that could be easily identified as female in a game/fantasy setting. In fact, the one picture on that article that was approved of was identified in the comments to actually be male.

Tariffs on importing. Protectionism, basically.

Also, no corporate taxes and no minimum wage could work well to encourage corporations to be in the US.

Or, we see to it that every other nation in the world becomes unionized and gets comparable corporate laws, taxes, and minimum wage rates as us.

*chokes on tongue in rage* Unions were made for a reason!

If you need enormous spherical tits to recognize a woman, I suspect some issues are at hand.

Yeah, and? I don't see where you're going. Unions exist to negotiate wages and other worker conditions.

Also, changing the world to fit your needs never worked in the past, and it won't work now.

If you feel it's wrong for any curve or skin of a woman to show, I've got some property in the middle east I'd like to sell you.

Middle ground.

Also, it'd be great to see a woman fully clothed in clothing that doesn't look like it's painted on once in a while.  Not always.  Sometimes.

[Rose]

Personally, I find fully clothed girls more attractive than ones in slut-wear.

maybe I'm weird like that.

Yes, but back in the day before unions corporations would pay their works pennies on the hour because they could. They do not need incentives, that's what governments have been trying to do for the past 12 years and big business has still screwed them over every chance they get. They need to have the screws taken to them.

I still don't see any disagreement you may have with me. I fully support unions.

[sluissa]

I don't mind middle ground, but with that article the only picture of a female she actually approved of was actually a male. A very androgynous looking male, admittedly, but still.

I actually like seeing realistic clothes as well. But showing skin just isn't necessarily bad. I very rarely see anyone complain when you have a male character in similar states of undress. It happens a lot less though.
