Not too proud of it. Thanks to Saxima for suggestions and so on, I half-assed it. Don't be too hard on it. Unable to use brushes... No excuses. Posting...
And I found this. What am I seeing? Well timed. Let me quote the MPAA on this. "A PG-13 rating is a sterner warning by the Rating Board to parents to determine whether their children under age 13 should view the motion picture, as some material might not be suited for them. A PG-13 motion picture may go beyond the PG rating in theme, violence, nudity, sensuality, language, adult activities or other elements, but does not reach the restricted R category. The theme of the motion picture by itself will not result in a rating greater than PG-13, although depictions of activities related to a mature theme may result in a restricted rating for the motion picture. Any drug use will initially require at least a PG-13 rating. More than brief nudity will require at least a PG-13 rating, but such nudity in a PG-13 rated motion picture generally will not be sexually oriented. There may be depictions of violence in a PG-13 movie, but generally not both realistic and extreme or persistent violence. A motion picture’s single use of one of the harsher sexually-derived words, though only as an expletive, initially requires at least a PG-13 rating. More than one such expletive requires an R rating, as must even one of those words used in a sexual context." ~ Source I see nothing wrong with a woman walking in a seductive way according to this rating. I am not asking you, you did not create the ratings. If it is not your problem then stop posting and swearing. Do not respond to things that do not concern you. Your post itself is a hypocrisy if you are claiming not to have a problem with it. I didn't want to bump an old thread, but this bothered me. A discussion of the rating if need be, but meh...
I advise you to change your username, as it appears that there is a monopoly on questions, and I would hate for you to get in trouble.
What do you guys think?

Derailing and re-rutting other threads is getting boring. Do you have something to say to me?
Should I keep my new avatar and signature theme or switch back to my old one? I feel I have been acting a bit differently with a new face to smile for me. Yay or nay?
It is so easy. Alternately, "I know who V must be."
Watch/read more. The implications of something like this are the things that dreams are made of, literally. The potential that this kind of development for research alone is enough to get me excited. I look forward to more developments upon this groundbreaking premise.
"A couple of weeks ago, my best friend sent me an email. She just got this new expensive makeup she'd ordered on the internet. It had arrived! But then she remembered that story I wrote about a warehouse in Ohio that ships products from online retailers and how miserable everyone who works there is and how ****** they're treated by their employers, and then she felt really sad. So, hey, she said, thanks a lot. I'm not going to tell her, but now, via the Allentown (Pa.) Morning Call, there's more confirmation that products are often shipped from the internets to your house by very demoralized workers operating in very depressing conditions because they have no other job options. Specifically, at the Amazon warehouse in the story, an employee got in touch with OSHA when the heat inside hit 102 degrees. Fifteen workers collapsed, and those that went home to beat the heat got negative marks put on their records. The Ohio warehouse I visited in June was the same kind of benefitless sweat-box. (It also sounds a lot like the sweltering warehouse described to my colleague Josh Harkinson here.) The Pennsylvania warehouse mentioned in the Morning Call article was not actually run by Amazon, just like the warehouse I was in wasn't run by the retailers whose product they shipped; both are staffed by temporary workers from a contract agency. Amazon responded by saying, "The safety and well-being of our associates is our number one priority." Hmm, no statement yet on whether they're going to make their contractors treat their employees like human beings. In the meantime, every one of Amazon's millions of customers should write them a really angry letter demanding change. Except we won't. Because then our shipping wouldn't be free." ~ Source As one of the commenters said, this has long been a practice of corporations the world over, Wal-Mart being one of the leading ones along with Coca-Cola. It is hard to deny the relevance of wage slavery in our society. How could we fix the problem and make sure that it does not happen again? More regulation will not change anything, it will only make the monopolies more one-sided. Take out one company and another will rise higher in its place. Make a minimum wage law and they will create contract laws to combat it, only making it seem like they are doing something. Because only corporations can use these contract laws to their advantage, the minimum wage law will actually increase their profits, because lower-tier companies will be forced to sell things at higher rates to pay their employees the minimum fee. In a free market, how would you combat this kind of oppression, or would you at all?
Voltairine de Cleyre held that marriage and social conventions made contract were license to sex slavery, and the slavery of the female sex itself. I am inclined to agree with her on several levels regarding the injustices of which she is speaking. Your own opinions on this portrayal of things past and things to come? Consider this an argument in feminism if you will, but it is an argument against marriage and the church before anything, and should be considered as such before arguing to the contrary.
Hmm. ____________

Remembering you on the eighty fourth anniversary of your deaths. A day late. I apologize. Here's to you. Rest forever here in our hearts. [video=youtube;SPu6TtEsNys]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SPu6TtEsNys[/video] "Ferdinando Nicola Sacco (April 22, 1891–August 23, 1927) and Bartolomeo Vanzetti (June 11, 1888–August 23, 1927) were anarchists who were convicted of murdering two men during a 1920 armed robbery in South Braintree, Massachusetts, United States. After a controversial trial and a series of appeals, the two Italian immigrants were executed on August 23, 1927. There is a highly politicized dispute over their guilt or innocence, as well as whether or not the trials were fair. The dispute focuses on small details and contradictory evidence. As a result, historians have not reached a consensus." ~ Wikipedia They wrote several letters while in prison, including the one quoted in the video above.

Despairing is unlike me. I am too upset over this to just wallow in it. I'm probably just missing Lili. Could be it... God, this state is bothering me. I need to feel happy, arrogance will help me. Come on, natural confidence come back to me. That's right...
Someone called me a "dead man walking" a while ago, and it has been getting to me. I guess you could say the state has been depressing me. I need to be involved in something again. I feel like I have nothing to say, I am resigned. I have lost my appeal, at least to myself; I am unchanging. I do not like this feeling. Do you know what it might be or how to get rid of it? Anyone?
