So who's moving out/in? How's it so far?

Next April I'm planning on moving to Canada or Australia.

Discuss!

If America wanted to go the route of official languages, it should do English and Spanish. Legitimizing Spanish speakers at full citizens would be great, as would not only the burden being on Spanish speakers to learn English, but English speakers to learn Spanish. Usually English speakers in all countries are quite violently against having to learn another language. It's really quite strange.

I wish Canada's two official languages worked better. It's a beautiful idea. I know a Belgian dude who's fluent in French and Dutch, and then also learned a few more languages in school. Amazing.

Shadowtext, I'm unsure how you're using the word global? What global ties do you have? What connections are there? Do you mean on the internet and niche subcultures that have enclaves in different cultures?

American culture, as told by the world (based on my travels), is people who are very self-important, individualistic, confrontational, and blunt. It has nothing to do what comedy program a person likes or what music they listen to. It has to do with the fact that they define themself based on such commodities, that is what's American (or Western depending on your viewpoint).

With all settler states, it's always harder to see culture, because the make up is usually people of many different cultures who shed their culture to replace it with relatively new culture. So from an American (or Canadian) perspective it's possibly more different to understand.

Chapters of the Chosen, and Japan gets DQ5 this summer (UPDATE: SO DO WE ON SEPT. 16th)

The DS version has shrunk the size of the maps and made the game easier.

We need some Politics. Your thoughts?

The only thing worse than Libertarianism is Fascism. It has that beat. Thank God Ron Paul is out.

Clinton may be a better candidate to win because they're so right wing that conservatives will vote for her. I don't think the for the democrats to win is to become more like the republicans.

Question for lazy people

Wow, Him gave really amazing advice.

I don't use rpgmaker anymore (I'm just here because of an addiction started 9 years ago), but if I did, I would definitely follow Him's advice.

It's the economy, stupid.

I enjoy talking about economics from a Marxist perspective; however, I'm a little rusty.

What does your avatar mean?

Mine's one of them small totoros. Or maybe it's a medium sized one, I forget. Either way, it looks nice.

Earthbound Confirmed for Virtual Console

I own Mother 3.

HA!

Son of Bitch, Shit!

I say fuck and shit quite a bit (not for emphasis, just because), but to me the word cunt is really really bad, and I just wouldn't say it. It doesn't sound nice.

Swearing is really hard to understand for Japanese people I know though because each word can be used in many different contexts, so that makes me tone it down.
