      I do not. Where I am, public transportation is looked down upon as the person being too poor to afford a car. Even if it wasn't, I wouldn't use it often because public transportation in the US is TERRIBLE. Every city in every State, just terrible.

      Sushi. I always feel better after eating it, even if it's low quality stuff.

      Hungry, hungry hippos. But it'd be remade into an echi version with business men and lolis. I think you can imagine where this is going...

      I think so. I live in a very diverse area so despite not leaving the State, I grew up very metropolitan. There are over 50 uninterrupted miles of stoplights from Gilroy to whatever is north west of San Francisco. And less than 50 miles of farmland between that metropolis and Sacramento (the State capitol). Going to LA is a bit better but only because there's 800 miles from SF to LA. If not for the mountains, the metropolis would be uninterrupted from 30 miles inland to the sea. I live in that inland area, called San Jose.

      I've so many things from so many places that I've stopped counting.

      I've watched the feature films, a few episodes of the anime, and I've read the manga that made everything possible in the first place (I even played the PS game too! It's nothing like the show, btw.); but I haven't seen enough of the anime series to know the character that you're talking about. I'll have to look that up now and see if he's a character with ideas that I'd like.

      I've taken less than a dozen pictures with my mobile phone in the entire time I've owned it. My camera is dedicated to that use, so it's not entirely a fair question.

      Dull colors are best. They're boring, for sure; but they don't strain the eyes nor blood pressure.

      I think. A lot. Until I suddenly wake up and realize that I had fallen asleep while considering the technical ramifications of some mathematical/physical question/design.

      It's a kind of lewd dance that (usually) two people will perform (usually) in private. If you're lucky, it feels good and helps to develop a positive emotional bond with your partner(s) (pro-tip: kissing). If you're not lucky, then it hurts, feels awkward, and will ruin a friendship.
      It's also something that teenagers do when they're bored. Kind of like drugs, but not as physically destructive (but the consequences have the potential to be just as destructive to one's future).

      One time my platoon moved to a new location, not far from our old location. We left in the evening so we spent all night setting up, but our tents were still in the old location so we had to spend shifts watching the equipment.

      While we all were looking for places to nap until our shift (each person would go back and sleep _after_ their shift) I was complaining and suggested that I'd find a random truck to nap in; an NCO overheard me and said (something to the effect of): "Don't be immature about it, just sleep in the vehicle with the equipment so it'll be easy to find you for your shift.". I did that, but apparently nobody else knew about that plan.

      Eventually my Platoon Sergeant found me and was super pissed off about me being missing. That other NCO never spoke up on my behalf. About a week later the Platoon Sergeant used that event to give me extra duty with a few other people that also had bullshit accusations. In the end I filled ~2,000 sandbags because some asshole couldn't pass on the knowledge that I was sleeping 10' from where I was supposed to report.

      On the other hand, those sandbags needed to be filled either way and it saved the rest of the platoon from having to slave away for a couple days to accomplish that security work.

      I stopped looking at those when I found my best hairstyle. I just get it cut short with a high fade. As it grows out, I do the typical comb-over. Then I cut it and start over.

      Classic prisoner's dilemma. Do we attempt to annihilate them before they have a chance to annihilate us, or do we hope that they won't plan to annihilate us and pursue peaceful negotiations?
      If they're technologically advanced, they'll probably be able to disarm any attempt we throw at them; and forgive us our paranoid reaction. (I expect aliens to be like this.)
      If they're not, then we shouldn't take the chance that they're doing the above and will try to exterminate us given the golden opportunity.

      Oh, and almost all religious institutions will immediately become invalid.

      It's only in the past 100 years that Western society has decided that a girl must be 18 to be engaged in sexual activities. Before the recent century, it was always common for a girl to marry as close to the beginning of her fertility (12-16) as possible. That could be a boy (similar age) or a man (significantly older), but more often a man because he was financially stable and physically capable of protecting her.

      Older men and boys had fallen in one of two binary categories: homosexuality (sin) or institutional/brotherhood (not sin). Given the lack of reproductive important for man/boy relationships compared to man/girl relationships, it wasn't really something that people thought much about.

      A love of children is not the same as an abuse of children. The guy who acts on his urges to have sexual relations with children is a far cry from the man who thinks about it but never approaches the issue outside of his fantasies.
      Fun facts: the legal age of consent for girls is generally younger (usually 2 years younger) than boys across the world, and the youngest age is 12 (very few countries) while 16 is more common. Japan outlawed the inclusion of nudity of children in photobooks as recently as 1999, and the United States beat Japan by ONLY ~20 years. If you have CP purchased prior to 1970-something then you can legally keep it.

      You're precisely right.
      Fun fact: more Muslims are indigenous to Indonesia than the middle east. Anyone who claims that disparaging Islam is a racist behavior is a perfect example of ignorance. The religion is pretty okay, it's the ignorant, fanatic followers that aggravate me so much.

      It has recently come to my attention that some guy took my picture and is using a derivation of my real name for his Formspring account (relevant because he's following you, I assume for malicious intent). It's kind of funny in an 'oh my gosh that's silly' sort of way. Otherwise all my trolls are self-invited (otherwise I'd have blocked/ignored them already). People can disagree with me and even demean my position on issues, but I otherwise don't take kindly to personal attacks that are not meant as (poorly worded) jokes.

      Your guy friend either has a crush on you or he is kind of gay. Either way he sounds like a really nice guy and you should hang out with him as often as you both can. I've found that most girls get REALLY upset when a guy gives her a compliment when she's not fishing for one. I imagine most guys have noticed that too and refrain from ever paying girls compliments for fear of sexual harassment charges.

      I don't care what that meanie says, you have great boobs! It's okay if you're wearing a push-up bra too, more guys like As and Bs than guys that like DDDs.
      Anyways, my favorite thing to wear are my crocs. They're super comfortable but they're also butt ugly. Please excuse my not posting a picture of me wearing them for that reason. Oh and my leather jacket too. (as if I didn't look tough enough already, amiright? hue hue hue)
