Coincidentally, Ishikawa looks pretty Asian in that picture. Togusa’s the whitest looking guy in the crew, in my opinion. I know a few big-boned, tough-looking Asian guys that could pull off Borma and Batou if they wore those eye-things. The Major doesn’t look like anything, to be honest. She she sure as hell doesn’t…

Yeah seriously, what’s the deal?

Smells like hatin’.

That was your first thought? I was thinking how strange it is that her schwartz is bigger than mine.

I have no idea whatsoever, but then again I’m not surprised about what some guys are capable of. I give groups of 3 males or more a wide berth when passing on the street for this reason: who knows what kind of random sadistic shit will tickle their fancy.

The son is a famous Hollywood director. David Bowie didn’t have to question whether or not he’s mature or responsible enough to handle the inheritance, you simpleton.

There are many stupid people, indeed. I just read the article around here about how so many guys send unsolicited dick pics to girls. I imagine that in a Venn diagram of dick pic’ers and actor harassers, there is much overlap.

Hey here’s a secret: dignity is earned by improving yourself, not by proving to others that you have no need to improve.

Thanks for the links. Sad that there’s no way to publicize this more. Seems like the concept of skilled labor should be pretty hipster-friendly and yet it doesn’t really get much attention as far as I know.

I don’t know if what you’re saying is actually true, but it’s easy to believe. Our consumerist culture worships people with grandiose ambitions. Entrepreneurs, programmers, bankers, doctors—if you’re not aiming high, you’re a loser.

If you can’t understand why this scenario isn’t the least bit romantic (or at least not “gross”) given the context, I’m going to go out on a limb and assume that you simply haven’t had time to actually live life because you were too busy pontificating at your keyboard.

That just sounds ripe for abuse of lower income people, just as it is with traffic fines.

There should be both-side exits on freeways, somehow. Every fucking day I see morons that cut through 3+ lanes to *barely* make their exit at 80mph. Americans have some disease where they believe that if they’re not coasting on the left-most lane, they’re impotent losers or something and so inevitably that’s where all…

You’re just trolling, right? Couldn’t possibly be that delusional and ironic. Come on.

If that dramatic explanation is how you cope with the shitshow that is Congress, then I guess I envy you.

Well, more like stay off the field if you’re going to be the only one to jump down. These kids don’t seem to understand the concept of rushing the field en masse.

I agree with your second paragraph, but not your first. I never bothered watching Arise because I didn’t like how Kusanagi was portrayed. Love everything else GitS though.

Let me guess: you’re white. Or, you’ve never seen an Asian twenty-something naked. It’s the only way that you see Major Kusanagi’s naked body and think that she must have a teenage body.

I hope this isn’t the Chinese equivalent of being sent to military school. Symbolically, it’d be sad to see so many kids that failed out of the main academic track. (And then what happens to the kids that fail out of this track? What are they supposed to graduate into anyway?)

Sad to see how skinny this man is. I wonder if he’d spent all his money on his armor. (Is that how it worked back then?)
