  1. I originally read this as a pun where your lineage is your hair and dye meant dying. Disappointed I was wrong.
  2. Drinking orange koolaid while eating chocolate fudge is a religious experience.
  3. Social commentary was cool while it lasted, I guess.
  4. Have you seen the Eric Garner case in the US? I think that is self-evidently true.
  5. I resolve not to post in that thread.
  6. A case isn't considered a murder unless they get a murder conviction, I think. Otherwise it could have been self-defense, manslaughter, or an accident. It's the same everywhere for that. The internal methods for generating the statistics are not published in any country I know of but that's my understanding of the paperwork. Exceptions might be obvious murders such as ongoing investigations of serial killings. That said, Japan is a small place with little tolerance for violent behavior in general.
  7. Japan is a pretty backwards place if you pay attention to the fine print.
  8. Correct. The official crime rate is low while their success rate is high simply because they don't prosecute most criminals.
  9. As a consequence of that, the prosecution doesn't even charge it if they aren't entirely sure they can get a conviction. They intentionally do not take something to court if there is room for doubt. I'm sure there are politics involved, too. I appreciated the social commentary, what with the Jurist system and all.
  10. Malice Mamba Jamba Cogito
  11. This may be the only thing we agree on, but I don't see your vote in the poll.
  12. Like Integrity, I do the opposite (depending on era). Apparently I was a font of quips a few years back and didn't even know it. But it also got bad. If you got back far enough (13), I was so bad I am completely unrecognizable. Some might not believe it was me even after I tell them.
  13. I saw that you died. Welcome to Hades, brother.
  14. JUST IN: I got a tent! Almost got a complete set.
  15. If I knew that it wouldn't be a tough choice.
  16. Tang's whitetext abilities are lacking.
  17. Help me pick a post-Christmas avatar.
  18. Trying to decide on a post-Christmas avatar...
  19. I could probably find a way to make that sound cruel by referencing the history of the court jester but I'm too lazy for that.
