Yeah. I don't really know what you are talking about anymore. A Utopian state?

I just came to explain to you that capitalism is not responsible for "quality of living" increases throughout the world. Now you've gone on a bizarre tangent that I can't really respond to.

Yeah, but why does this even matter. Most nation-states spring from, and survive on the basis of violence.

Writing was abysmal.

How about nerdist?

This was interesting to learn.

Japanese girls do not wear their skirts really short.

This article is so gross. Japanese people are way to cute to have sex. I just don't want to think about it.

The only 2 I'm watching atm are Non Non Biyori and Kill La Kill.

Not sure how the Start Button made this list. It's not a best new feature at all. It's completely useless.

I like the comics that LD made, but I don't understand them at all...
