What if I told you... her entire chest is an optical illusion.

Just the words in all caps.

Well neither would I have a problem if Indian, Persian or Chinese actors play roles meant for Indian, Persian or Chinese characters. Did I ever say that?

You don't get that I'm referring to perception, not facts. Obviously no one will complain if there's some Arabian Nights story that's about Europeans, and it features a cast of white people. But, if the story takes place on the Arabian peninsula, I don't expect to see people who I would visually identify as having…

Nevermind—you don't get it.

True, maybe cut out the "middle-eastern" definition, then. "Arab" at least gives you someone non-white of North African or Middle-Eastern descent. I don't agree with you though that "Indian" can be included in a group of Arab or Middle-Eastern people, but that's a matter of perception anyway. Clearly a lot of…

A lot of times race is more about what you look like in general to the people of a particular society rather than what your actual ancestry is. To my American eyes, Ben Kingsley is not "non-white."

Wait, you would rather that Avatar: The Last Airbender movie existed as it was rather than not at all?

Pretty sure they're going to cast Ben Kingsley in some role.

I can remember what being 12 was like, and "innocence" certainly doesn't describe it for me or any of my peers at the time. Adolescence is when things start getting real.

I just want to say that your words would be taken more seriously if you didn't feel the need to virtually gesticulate wildly through your idiosyncratic use of capitalization.

Would you hire one of these people to shovel the snow off your driveway? And what is "working for the city"? Is that an office job?

Well that was a waste of time replying to scottd, wasn't it? Don't bother, he's a rude idiot who obviously has no experience in photography. The advantages of shooting RAW over JPEG are countless and obvious outside of specific scenarios where you need to maximize your burst shooting rate.

Does the Golden Ball have to go to a player from the two teams in the Final? Because otherwise... Arjen Robben, James Rodriguez, Alexis Sanchez, Robin Van Persie, Neymar. And then on Germany there were Mueller and Kroos. Messi being completely anonymous in the final doesn't help his cause either.

That moment was ripe for exploiting. Poor Schweinie.

You might actually enjoy watching the Bundesliga a lot more than watching the World Cup. Pick a good team to support, but don't pick Bayern Munich!

You make it sound as though women have been photoshopped for all time, that there's nothing wrong with it, and that it has no influence on girls' perception of ideal body image.

In this case, I think body-shaming is an unfortunate consequence of pointing out that the beautiful Mariah Carey is actually not what you think she is—she actually looks just like a lot of other women who fret about their appearances and hate the way they look because they don't have the benefit of having a personal…

Definitely strikes me as someone bringing a shovel to a beach to clear the sand. There's a LOT of volume to cover... if it even works.

So, how are you guys pronouncing "Neoguri"?
