General Discussion

This is for talking about stuff that you might find too random or not event related. Enjoy.

So is this like a spam topic?

Exactly :3

Cool! Anyone got something really interesting to say?

Well, we could talk about the meaning of life and stuff like that.

Biologically: survive and reproduce.

What I'd say if I were asked: whatever meaning you give to it.

I took that comment way too serious didn't I?

You did darling. ;D

Haha! That actually made me think though, why do we have handicap spaces?

1. They're always empty. People, so potential customers for for example a shop, could be parking there.
2. If a handicapted person is able to drive, why can he/she not park in a normal spot?
3. Isn't it kind of denegrading to give these people seperate spots? It's like saying: you're different, so you go park over there. I obviously don't know what it is like for a handicapped person so I wouldn't know how they feel about it though.

Not being denegrading to handicapped people here, don't mistake me. I think a sign of a strong society is being able to take care of the unfortunate. Just some random thoughts popping up! Maybe they do work, these weren't facts.

Haha, I had the kind of people who like miss an arm or something in my mind.

You also work in a restaurant? Cool. I do too, but I'm just a simple dishwasher. It's a wonder that I still have that job though, I'm pretty clumsy and break so many stuff that you'd think they would have fired me already...

Anyway, I understand where you're coming from. I'm kind of a skinny guy and I don't even consume that much, but whenever I throw away food I always feel bad thinking about in countries where we live we have this huge surplus of food and we eat way too much, while on other sides of the world there are people starving to dead. There's actually more than enough food on the world to feed everyone... (wooh, sorry, that's serious. I always get serious when it's late...(EU timezone))
I don't hate obese people, but I never get how they can let it get so bad. Guess it's just addiction...

Haha! Sounds like it'd be fun sitting in the back of a car with you driving.

You sound like a healthy (and nice) person to me, so no need to be unconfident! =)

Side question: is there a lot of fuzz about the whole prism thing under people in the US right now? I find it kinda unbelievable how the government ignores its own 4th amendment... Whenever I talk too Americans, they seem like nice people, but I'm not too fond of the US government on quite some issues. I like the idea of decentralizing states, but to be honest I think there are some real democracy issues in the US. I live in the Netherlands, and while I'm not saying that one country is worse than the other, I do like the representative multi party system here. That's more choice than just two pretty authoritarian right wing parties (one a little less than the other).
But forgive me, I won't ruin the mood of the entire general discussion by starting to talk about politics.

Animals are awesome, definitely agreed! And it's cool that you can use that love with Sakena. I'm a pretty clumsy guy (Uchiha Torame can confirm... ), and also kind of a pacifist which I used in Houtarou's character too.

Just put on your seat belt though!

Edit: anyway, I'm kinda having 5 hours left to sleep now (damnit internet with all your interesting stuff), so will continue in the RP tomorrow!!

Wow, obese = handicap in US? I always thought "handicap" is more on disabled person instead of...oversized person.

Pretty interesting.

"Obesity! Is a disease!

No, it's not.

The only similarity between fat people and diseases is that they're both very easy to catch!"

A disease is an illness caused by bacteria or infection by definition, so obesity is not a disease.

Sakena is however very right in that it causes you to not function optimal physically, just like a disabled person with for example a missing arm would not be able to do that.

And why is obesity ''easy to catch?'' Well, fast food is cheap, not time consuming, and let's not forget that it doesn't taste bad.
It's a negative effect that comes with the busy lives of people nowadays... Read a text talking about how society was 'accelerating' the last century, was pretty interesting actually.

i think she meant that fat people are easy to catch, because they are slow because of the weight. -flies away-

Not sure if I take things too serious or you too easily, Torame.

I think that Torame is right

OH I SEE NOW. It was a pun! I like puns! :3

How clumsy...
