FTSE: Fatally Tanking Scrumptious Economy
http://finance.google.com/finance?q=LON%3AHBOS&hl=en Where were you at 0902 today as HBOS plc's share price more than halved , before bouncing back up as news broke of talks between HBOS and Lloyds TSB regarding a takeover (to somewhere still pathetic of course, since it is exposed to the things...

This then, is why we have to agree to disagree. That's funny, coming from someone who was quite insistent about not dropping it when we were asked to stop derailing the topic. Well, we've got Chris now insisting that it be dropped, so I had to at least gesture in the direction of doing so to see if...

Another interesting thought that occurred to me when I was reading Gundam Sentinel, was how very fervently Ere-ism was adhered to and practised by the New Desides. And I think that might be an additional factor to them being able to work out a cooperation among their rank-and-file members as well - ...

In other words: lighten up, or else it looks ridiculous. You seem to be asking us to be deadly serious, 24/7. That's unreasonable. I haven't done that at all. I've simply made observations, and I've said that a line has been crossed, a line which I don't think is good to cross. Nowhere in there hav...

However, I think that in this particular case, this particular microcosm, is so insignificant and off-center that it's not worth spending the energy over. I think you're wasting your time getting angered and saddened over this instance when there are far greater ones to have those feelings for, if ...

People are still not actually adressing the issue I explained in my previous post. I addressed your argument directly. The majority of the others are talking about the sexploitation of little girls, which you say is equal or secondary to the use of WWII pilots' names. You later claimed that it was ...

By using these people, it shows a tremendous lack of respect for them. These people fought -- many of them died! -- for their respective countries. And now they're being treated in a fantastically undignified way, so some random people can make money. That's horrible . Granted, it may not be as emo...

I don't think people are going to understand what I'm seeing as the fundamental difference between something like ZZ's Rommel tribute (which was fine), and Strike Witches' one. Even though Shadowcell actually highlighted it when he said: I'd like to think that any such pilots, if they're still alive...

Kenji: None of that is exactly equivalent to what has happened here. All of the things you named were relatively serious portrayals or paradies of historical figures. Here we have German, Japanese, Italian, British, French, ect, all heroes, being parodied in the specific way that Strike Witches has ...

Well, I'm a little surprised that Strike Witches is mentioned here, and that it was even mentioned in a good light. And that no-one has actually talked about the big elephantic issue in the middle of the room. World War Two Pilots. Each character is named after a pilot hero. For many of you in this ...
