And here I am, a brony, thinking that my fandom was the sole-producer of spaghetti nowadays...

That does seem very insulting to actual Japanese people who are having their country generalized as a sort of Neverland by foreigners who have no right to be dissatisfied with their lives.  At least with transgender people it seems somewhat natural (Their sexual identity does not equate to their gender.).  Perhaps the one thing that set off the most alarms in my head was her infamous statement, "Have I ever been to Japan?  Every day in my head."  That statement right there sums up everything that is wrong with her argument.  She has no idea what being Japanese means other than what she has seen and heard in anime, manga, and/or her culture classes (Assuming she took any).  She reminds me of the european immigrants from the early-1900's who came to America thinking that the streets were paved in gold, only they at least were fleeing from actual persecution back home.

Finally, I'm pretty sure that "officially renouncing your American citizenship" requires a bit more than a simple verbal statement.

The things is, though, that I don't know of my post-apocalyptic lite RP servers; lots of serious ones like Fallout and Metro RP, but no lite variants.  We may have something unique should we choose to pursue this.

This is why I never add people unless I have at least one mutual friend with them (Or I know them well enough to know that they aren't spam bots).

Could you perhaps explain how we would make this unique?  Would it be a serious or lite RP server?  If it is serious, what would we do to distinguish it from the myriad Fallout RP servers out there?

I'd like to know exactly how famous these guys are.  On top of that, it would also be useful to see exactly how much money they are making from it.  It's one thing to be selling merchandise, but you have to make that merchandise first, and that costs.  If no one is buying it, then congratulations you just spent $100+ on a bunch of mugs, hats, and t-shirts with logos that no one outside of the community would recognize.

Very atmospheric.  I like the particle effects with the cherry blossoms.

I don't think there are any other people here on the forums who live in the region, so all we can do is speculate.  In my honest opinion, I believe Hamas is provoking Israel into invading the Gaza strip.  Also considering that many rocket sites and enemy positions are located in public areas, civilian casualties are almost a certainty.  Hamas would never win in open combat against the IDF and it is painfully obvious that simply firing rockets in the general direction of your country isn't a winning strategy.  Hamas wants civilian casualties because they know that the only way they will win this war is by making the Israelis look like war criminals.

It's a lose-lose situation for Israel:  If they agree to a truce, Hamas is simply going to lick their wounds, stockpile more weapons, then launch another terror attack a few months down the road.  On the other hand, if the IDF occupies Gaza, you'll have international human rights groups claiming that they are oppressing the Palestinians and committing genocide.  There isn't any peaceful way out of this.
