Re: Michigan House is passing a bill that allows EMTs to refuse treatment to gays...

This first case is almost harmless enough, until you consider that someone can refuse to sell plan B or birth control pills or shots, because they "cause abortions"* and that is against their religion.
*Hint, hint - Plan B and birth control methods aren't abortives. They prevent fecundation of the egg. Also, birth control pills, shots and patches are used for much more than just preventing pregnancy to happen.

The second case wouldn't help much the person that was denied service, as said person would likely be either dead or permanently crippled by the time government intervention happen...

And it giving a lot of power to businesses is pretty bad. We already saw large business denying to cover birth control because it goes against their "religion freedom".

It is a pretty shitty bill.

Yeah, it really is. It might not be EXACTLY as the video I posted said it was. But this is still REALLY bad.

Heck, in some ways, it's actually worse then I thought. Since yeah, it has pretty much the same problems from that video. And more to it.

What I have gathered:

- it does provide people with innocuous claims like "i dont want to bake a cake for a gay wedding because of my religion" that power. whether or not this is religious discrimination or freedom of religion is hard to tell. i err to the side of discrimination... i would hope that the law will not protect people in restaurants who refuse to serve muslim people just because they are christian. they also cited "a muslim butcher not wanting to work with kosher meat" as a scenario.
- if used as defense in court to refuse medical service, they would have to prove its unreasonable for the government to intervene as it would violate their beliefs. the government could easily prove that it has the right to intervene in that all citizen should recieve medical service - this is gross oversimplification tho. From the source: "First, the individual would have to prove the request violated his or her sincerely held religious beliefs, and the government would then have to prove the law achieved its policy goal through the least restrictive means possible."
- its really broadly worded and gives a lot of power to businesses

Ah... I see. So it's not as bad as I initially thought. But it still should be stopped. Since it COULD lead to at least some form of discrimination or hassle for gay/bi people.

Again, I'm sorry for not looking into this deeper... I guess I was a bit too hasty to post this.

Just... just watch the video on Youtube itself, and read it's description....

I swear, America's getting progressively more, and more disgusting as time passes....

I just wanted to spread this news around. You don't even have to watch the video, just read the description.

So I take it this a confirmation that Master Core is NOT Master Hand and Crazy Hand fused together into one form?

It actuality...it looks like Master Core is the POWER that is from within Master and Crazy Hand...
Well, Master and Crazy Hand are now officially Eldritch Abominations...who else but from Sakurai?

Well actually.... Sakurai didn't design most Kirby final bosses.

He designed, well Dedede obviously. Nightmare. And Marx. Which are all on the goofy side. (Well, Nightmare's GBA form was at least somewhat intimidating... but his NES design was goofy.)

Most of the more nightmarish Kirby bosses were made by other designers. Heck, Sakurai had NOTHING to do with the Dark Matter saga. And Zero-Two is considered one of the freakiest final bosses. (Though honestly his original form in KDl3 was a bit worse if only because of how gory his death is.)

She's a horrible person because she does not support the charities she claimed to support, and is a hypocrite (in addition to cheating with at least 5 different guys; cheating is a shitty thing to do and you know it).


She's a horrible businesswoman because she slept with at least one journalist, who DID talk about her FREE game.

Though about the cheating part....

Was there any evidence of this from any sources... other then her ex? Things can be faked online you know.

....

However, she IS still a bitch though, because of what she did to TFYC, and that link you showed.

Plus she just seems like a stuck up person in general.

Well, to add to this little speculation.

Tingle is a VERY popular character in Japan... so it's very possible he might very well be in the Majora's Mask DLC pack.

l since everyone else did the whole "show your mains" thing. I might as well join in.

This is of course subject to change when I actually GET the game. But still.

Though this does make me dislike the clones even more. Since there was no reason for them to have their own slots....
it's not like their "slots" meant someone else had to be removed, dude
Well no, but look at it this way.

What would have been better? Dr. Mario, Dark Pit, and Lucina being clones? Or the developers spending the resources used to fill that data, with 1 completely distinctive character? I personally would have taken the one character. Quality over quantity and all that.

Good, it actually changes the character name. Maybe now I won't hate the idea of a character swap of that magnitude as bad.

You know... I'll be honest. Some of Lana's animations remind me a LOT of Athena from the KoF games....

She's a bit too generic for my liking.

Though on a lighter note... it does look like this game has potential to have more to it then button mashing. It looked like you could strategically use her attacks in different ways. So that's good to know.

So here's a crappy 3DS picture... yeah, it's probably not my best picture, you have been warned.

It's a real easy temptation to fall into; you can make designs sexy without making their boobs about to pop out, but far too often they take the easy way out.

Indeed... though at least on the bright side, Impa's design looks decent. Though her weapon is a bit silly.

But at least she doesn't have huge boobs, and little clothing....

Veran isn't too bad.

And also her design isn't terrible.

Hm, I suppose.

Honestly, Cia would have been a decent design, if she had a more modest outfit.... That mask looks alright to me, honestly, she COULD have looked creepy if they had done the design right... but alas, they didn't. No no no, they had to make her look whorish to appeal to teen boys....

Confurmed fake.

What's with all the fake leaks suddenly.

Whenever there's a game with a lot of hype surrounding it... there will ALWAYS be a lot of fake "leaks" running around... just look at Pokemon games.

I'm perfectly fine with Shia, all things considered she's no worse then Twinrova was, she just has more Polygons.
Eh, to me, she looks like she's gone way too over the top compared to Twinrova.

And also her design in general is just dumb.

Yeah, I agree to an extent. I REALLY hate her design too. Though no one else I know is making a fuss about it.... But then again, over sexualized characters tend to annoy me (I'm looking at you, Bayonetta.)

...

Though that said, there IS a Zelda villain who was on par with that design, not named Twinrova... Veran, look her up on a Zelda Wiki... her proportions are WAY out of whack....
