Zero Omega Shoujo Phoenix Zero Omega hollywood_addict Why do cities like LA get the reputation for being high crime? Is a big city life with little room a negative influence any many people? What is it about the big touch city ethos, or is it more like self-fulfilling prophesy, where if one is told something enough times and there are not many other depictions, the individual becomes what people say they are? I think it has to do with the fact we've become to submissive to the wills of criminals and gangs that they can kind of run the city how they want. That and we just have such an access to things that can do harm and really don't do much about it. People who are poor (around poverty level or less) have a higher likelyhood of turning to crime. Though the US claims to be the land of opportunity, that's sometimes not that true. It's easier to turn to crime to make a quick buck. For some, that's the only way they see it. I mean, I don't think there are a lot of middle/upper class folks going out committing crimes here and there. In major cities such as LA, there is a dense population. More people means more resources are taken up and generally, not enough...especially for those suffering at the poverty level. If you have money, you don't need to worry about those things. If you're one of those poor people, there is no room to get resources or move to a nicer place. Also, not to mention the living costs of California and other big places such as New York or Florida. I think Fitzgerald explains it best in The Great Gatsby. The American Dream is, indeed, dead. Mala, Zeligor, and I shall be attempting to ressurect it in my mountaintop lab somewhere in Eastern Europe after Operation: Surfing in Nevada comes to fruition. Oh ********, but the second season ending for SR almost had me slitting my wrists at the end of this last episode. Its one of those kinda sad yet hopeful songs (if you wanna hear it, the title is Kono Namida ga Aru Kara Tsugi no Ippo to Naru and it seriously rocks.)... and one of the relationships kinda hit a bittersweet moment right before it began playing.

Noob! scream Er... as Brother Owain I had my first macro as "OOM, move along plz." stare Yeah, but you were special 'cause you could fisticuffs a Loli! ninja True, that just never got old. Were you there the time I had three Sin Crosses following me around Nif watching me crit the unholy hell outta everything there? It was hilarious. Especially after I got the +10 quad seal mace... that weapon was kinda obscene.

Oh yeah, since it just happened a few hours ago...
Milfblade... er, Witchblade is now licensed by Funimation. Kickass.
Seriously, even without the rack and monster-wrecking lingerine, that chick was hot as hell just based on face and voice.

Agreed. -Just finished the first episode.- That's the only episode I'll get though, because it was licensed, they removed the torrent link. sweatdrop

Streamjumper Peppermint Elf Little Indigo Streamjumper Zero Omega EdwardHau I play Ragnarok, that's not to say that I'm having fun with it. sweatdrop I'm leveling up my thief at Ant Hell right now, not so mush fun. gonk I like AoEing the Ant Eggs for good mouse-click spamming fun. I like when I db an aggro plant. The best time was when I got 6 plants in a row, including a shining plant.
Those are always fun. That and when you DB pupa.Worse yet, she'd taint everyone else's branches too... And the only way the curse lifted was when you got too complacent and got several nasties in a row while in Nif.
Mala could probably make a Bloody Branch (MVP Summon) turn into a Mastering. xd

3.14 Today was an interesting day. First, the power company shut off our power. Which was weird since...WE PAID THE BILL. So we had to spend 5+ hours dealing with people to get it turned back on. stressed
Did you beat them down with The Powah of Iron Fist?!!!1 scream
