How psycho?
Tatsua Aiisen said Now we get a bit of a problem where Middle School girls are unlikely to be comfortable hanging out with older kids, especially two that are so obviously scary to approach.


Majority of people aren't like that.
People of several years difference hangout quite regularly.

Plus only one of them is vicious/hostile, and she's meant to be a villain. I don't get how Tyren is seen as scary.

Tatsua Aiisen said When you make the contract you stop aging, though, so you should probably change your character's ages and appearances to match their actual age.


Their appearances aren't so far off that it's not unbelievable.
Plus over the years even if they don't physically age they would mentally age and have more experience, and this would reflect the way they dress, their body is built (exercise) and how they present themselves.
Ok, I was waiting for notdeadyet before making my characters to wrap it all up.
But upon checking her file she's been actively posting elsewhere, so I can assume she's lost interest.

So with that covered say hi to your Incubator, Veteran member (Didn't seem anyone bothered making a veteran in their CS's. Please correct me if I mis-read), and your resident bitchy/shitty member. :P





Because wynaut?
ASTA said It's as if you don't know what Google is.


It's a general rule though that the one who provides the claim shows the evidence.

ASTA said Official racial demographics in the US. Also, apparently I was off by approximately ten percent.. Apparently whites make up about 70 percent of the US population rather than 50-60 percent.


This one isn't really relevant. It's the percentage of a race that commits crimes that matter, not the percentage of a race there are living in a country.

ASTA said -The other two sources-


These are pretty valid and relevant though, enough so I'll retract the argument I made earlier about it being debateable.

However, to play Devil's advocate.

Your third source although showing a lower number of black people being poverty than white still shows a higher percentage. Perhaps this can suggest focused neighbourhoods where crime is bad, where elements such as peer pressure and mob mentality can kick in? So cops are generally more aggressive/on edge because of the environment these happen in?

Now, that is a pretty weak and shitty argument made there but I felt it should have at least been voiced in order to cover all our angles.

Can you please not gimp our coding by putting them in the OP, and link them instead?


Doing just links can add a lot of lag to older PC's by opening multiple tabs.
I will add links to them so people can do it that way if they prefer, but I'm also keeping a copy of each CS in the OP for those who prefer it.
xAsunaWolfx said I wonder if everyone else here is white, arguing over what to call my own race.


Sorry, but this in regards to

1) The colour of one's skin, so if your skin is what the English language defines as Black it is going to be called black. Someone with white skin is not unable to recognize the colour black because they're own colour is white.

2) We're debating parameters/requirements for certain racial terms, and honestly it has overwhelmingly been in the direction of "Racial terms are inaccurate and outdated". So in truth the only thing we're really deciding on calling your race is human.

xAsunaWolfx said Has anyone noticed the difference of asking a white person and black person race?
Black people will say black.
White people will say: 2% Irish, .04% Indian, 45% Hawaiian, 16% European, 5% Irish and what not




If you ask someone their skin colour, they give you their skin colour (though honestly, someone's colour of skin is obvious unless you're blind). If you ask them their heritage they'll give you they'll heritage. I've never seen anyone (white or black) simply claim their ancestry was black, and not bother to say where their parents originated from.

xAsunaWolfx said But if everyone is calling each other: Negro, Nigga, nigger, Cracker, "lost in the snow" or "lost in the night" = Something is not right, especially if it's outside of some friendship.


Where here did we call anyone any of these names? :/
Plus, I don't know where you live but the only times I hear these words being used is if they're in mutual humor among friends.

xAsunaWolfx said Just call the person what they request to be called. If that 2% Irish white person wants to be labeled as Irish, call them Irish


I am a white person, I request to be called black. So you better call me black.
Or "I learned how to speak french in class, therefore call me french".

Having the tiniest ancestry of one country, or knowing something of one country doesn't mean that is the majority of your heritage.
I mean sure, if you're 2% Irish you are partly Irish, but you're not all Irish, there's another 98% there.

But honestly, majority of the time a person is called by the country they live in. If you live in Canada you're Canadian, America is American, England is English/British etc.

xAsunaWolfx said Lately Americans have been thinking of racist happenings between unarmed black men and the cops, that cops are more likely to shoot/kill a black man. Or how store clerks will watch the black people more and are less likely to hire them. Of course this doesn't account for all cops but i fear for some...


Honestly the cop thing is under debate as to if it's actual racism, or just a matter of due to history most of the poor neighbourhoods tend to be filled with black people. A result of their ancestors having been slaves and not had many means to financially secure their family. Where in modern day it results to a lot of those people turning to crime, where since those environments have a high amount of black people you get a high amount of black criminals, and as a result more black people shot.

The store thing though? Yea, that's basically just racism.

xAsunaWolfx said when Ebola is entering the country and nothing is being done to the African borders


Ebola is honestly in my mind being over-hyped like the Swine Flu.
Diseases always cause a panic even when their impact is completely minimal.
Aragorn said Windows to be a sack of shit, Macs to be overpriced, and Linux is the master race.


Well that's just common fact though. :P
