Is Shadow of the Colossus comparable to Leaves of Grass or Citizen Kane
Of course it is. The comparisson is question runs something like :
"Unlike great works of art like Citizen Kane or Leaves of Grass the overhyped and rather pointless game Shadow of the Colossus contains little in the way of feelings or any real depth of expression".
Almost all Toshiba machines (lkaptops anyway) have a genuine mechanical wheel attached directly to a pair of pots on the output. Once moe sanity triumphs over digital madness!
Just wait till representatives of the next generation of woodworkers accidentally trigger an older table... It'll be full slasher movie material. "Who could have expected this cursed antique would have such a thirst for blood? Who will it get next?"
Or, more seriously... "Accidents happen. Walk (hop) it off. If you foam cover the entire world then no-one will ever learn to cope with 'reality'" (Where reality is a dead chip in the machine for replacing dead chips).
Shades of grey don't make strong arguments. And you left a few traditional death penalty earners out of the American list.
The question is, just how much do you have to cheat your government of to qualify as a traitor? How much do you have to steal toqualify as having taken the value of a human life? (And just to forestall, I'll guess the claim that we don't price human life in the west is floating across your mind, to which I'll just issue a pre-emptive "Bullshit".
Don't get me wrong, China has a heck of a lot of problems, and America/Britain etc have a ways to go as they pass on the way down, but China (at least in the cities) really ain't that bad. Quite damngood in fact.
Have I dealt mostly with richer more influential chinese people? Yes. Am I ignorant of the poorer folks situation? No. I've travelled as extensively outside the cities as a foreigner can. I've seen the "farming" communities, where a family will live for 3 months on the few mao they can get for a lost hubcap. But even at the worst here the lives are certainly no worse than those of the bums circling benches of every park/subway/underpass of NY...
As for the way it's carried out, dead is dead. A bullet in the base of the skull is every bit as painless as an anaesthesised lethal injection, and potentially a lot more humane than the chair.
As for the bodies, well, yeah, grant you that, though with the side note that folks here apparently just aren't that emotional about dead flesh. It's common practise that the hospital of death includes cremation and disposal in the basic bills when the time comes. So far in China I've seen two graves (technically tombs) and no urns.
In actuality all that will happen is that you will be mocked by anyone who cares to understand you.
Not to say the Chinese government is benevolent or anything, it quite clearly isn't, but to claim legally tried and convicted death penalties are murder is a mighty big slur on, say, Texas and Florida for starters...
No big government is ever pure. And until America and the UK makes some steps towards putting their own houses in order, well, no-one here would deny you the right to whinge about other countries, but don't expect to be taken seriously.
Interesting to note that I just read (and replied to) your comment from... *gasp* *shock and horror* China!
And no, there's no difficulty getting porn here. Just hop on google (.com/.co.uk/.ie, choose your own poison) and turn off result filtering on the images search.
"I have to assume that the divine creator is going to take care of most of this stuff," said Steve Casey, the WIPP engineer charged with overseeing construction of the warning system.
That's really encouraging. I had a lengthy diatribe about religion and engineering but, well... Those who can think already know and consider it obvious. Those who can't would just mod me "Troll".
You know, those pictures show me that the only difference in working environment between Accenture and India is apparently the Indians are far less sexist in their hiring policies.
Identical desks, Identical lighting, Identical layouts, far more female employees.
And the world would be perfect if everyone just got more hugs...
Your so called absolutes are anything but, and even if they were, several are potentially contradictory, and would be prioritised differently in different cultures/situations, rendering them nonsensical.
Man do we ever need a new mod. "Histrionic Bullshit".
Try living here a while. It's a poor nation sure, but it's no prison. Casual real life day to day freedoms are rather less encroached upon than in any of the developed nations I've worked in.
Sure there are some big freedoms missing, but that does not make the country a prison.
Having lived/worked in China for the last year I can say with certainty that the majority of the large sample group are well aware of Tianamen and what happened there. Less so for those below 10, but then how many american 10 year olds know about it? Or about any recent historical events in America?
China has problems. China has a lot of problems. But lets try to keep to the problems that actually exist rather than the Amero-centric memes, okay?
That is because "legal combatants" are outside the rules for civilians. Anyone not a "legal combatant" is supposed to fall through to the baseline civilian courts.
Anyone who can't see this is an idiot.
Anyone who refuses to see/acknowledge this is evil.
"Yeah, they've outlawed buying off their legislature, so we're having to work in the back channels to get our decision barged through, but half the time these guys ain't even speakin fuckin English, so we're being blocked out from the bribery channels unfairly..."

Depends entirely on how the fall happenned.
Floor of assigned workspace collapsed under them, well, hell yeah, sue like crazy and win.
Walk across a wet floor full of people with mops and fall on your ass, well, that's your own problem.
Severity oif the result does not (Should not) affect the assignment of fault, and the fault for clumsiness falls on the clumsy person.

Hah! Take that Darwin!

Minor correction...
"They accused the British government of faking..."
should be
"They pointed out that the British Government faked..."
Five characters longer I know, but sometimes the character count can be justified.
Question of course becomes "What age was the child?".
Under 1 year, hell, be generous, under 3 years probably ok.
4? 5? 6 years old? Pushing it.
10 years old? Unquestionably sexual abuse.
Full story is required to pass judgement on that one.
You mean "Matt Day........ Mon!"

Come on over and say that. See what happens.

GOOD!
If I write "Do not use or Boot from this disk" on it, well, they have earned their sufferring.
Same as if I writed "Secret : Don't use" on a floppy filled with match-heads and nail-varnish (also fun, though slightly more complex to do right).
Who needs friends (in this context anyway) ?
Anyone who is fit to be here has at least 5 fully spec'd computers lying around (and parts for another 10).

All I demand is that you're female and sexy.
Is that before or after the relatavistic 80 years are added?

Nope. Shenyang, Liaoning. As near to old style China as one can get without getting out of the cities.

I am in China. I see the tank man. On google.cn.

Is that meant to be a sarcastic overstatement of the idiocies spouted by the US?
If so, it's not quite overblown enough.
If not then you are an asshole, a coward and an enemy of justice and freedom.

I can see how that might be an issue.
