General Questions Thread

First, thank for all the suggestion. I told him to beware and it seems that guy never return, so i guess it really was a scam....


About the feeling of happy right after being sad.... i hate to admit but i'm really sensitive so i rarely watch something sad (even avoid them in some cases). But when i do, it scar me for a while even after it's over..... so no, i do not feel happy when a sad movie over (even when it have a pretty happy ending) D:



Anyway, new silly question
I has always been wondering: what will happen if a respectable (....let's say....) Malaysian minister come to visit (...hmmmm....) German for a global meeting. But due to a mistake within the security planning by high ranking officers, the Malaysian minister was assassinated by a German terrorist group.
Then will the German government be responsible for such acts? And if so.... how could German repay Malaysia for their loss in man power; to ensure that Malaysian government's stability after losing such important figure and soften Malaysian citizen's rage that their beloved leader was killed?
If things can be settled easily. Then does it means: it's possible for the German (.... sorry Germany people...just an example... xD) to assassinate a weaker country (sorry ... Malaysian people too..... xD)'s minister so they can ensure those who hold power in Malaysia is in their favour?

The German government would not indeedly have to take the full responsibility, it's would be up to them what to do. They would probably apologise publicly and pay an big amount of money as a redemption. I cannot think of another way. Of course the trouble would be huge.

But it is unprobably that something like this would happen in Germany. You should have seen the amount of police forces during the G8 meeting or the visiting by Obama. ^^"
Are there German terrorist groups in German? Could not tell one.

Your second question: Hm, at first the German (we) should have someone there in Malaysia that is doing German favours (why would someone there do this?) and it's not clear that the Malyasian government would exchange the now free post with the the guy under German influence. The government would definitely since if the ex-minister was killed by Germans and now there is a new one under German influence, that would be an umimaginable debacle.
The great countries like USA, England, French... would go against this because they could think Germany is planning something big as the same reason you mentioned Germany as the place where that happens. ( crappy WWII image )

Sorry there, i actually chose it quite randomly xD (a strong and a much weaker country; if i put US and a Middle East country for example, then it will sound too serious ^^)

I actually was thinking about the APEC incidence when that question sparked in my mind. I means there are always human errors now and then, and in an age where weapons are so devastating that a small event can spark WW3, there should be some ways to settle such and such problems where all sides can be happy about...

[oompa loompa]

I don't think there's a blanket policy as such that would work in that type of situation. It would really depend on the circumstances, and most importantly the country's foreign/defense policies. In fact, this type of thing has happened before, a good example would be Rajiv Gandhi, who was in fact the Prime Minister of India at the time, and was assasinated by a suicide bomber who was known to be from the LTTE - and ( which is really kind of sad ) not very much was done about it at all. Really, the subcontinent is a good place to start if you want to see how these things can ( its always handled rather poorly in the area in my opinion, for example, in this case, there should have been some very direct action taken) play out these days.

As to your second question, I would imagine so. If ( for whatever hypothetical reason) a tiny country lost a leader directly because any of the countries on say, the permanent security council, I highly doubt anything much would come of it.

WW3 puhhh... The great countries won't allow a 3rd world war to happen.
I read this too often and how many contents anime are happening after WW3, it is really scary. As if the manhood would wish for it.

tea doesn't lol I've been drinking tea daily for breakfast ever since I was what, 5 years old lol and I did grow quite tall ha ha
coffee, it depends if you are fully grown or not, I wouldn't give a 14 year old coffee not because of what you've said but because I wouldn't want them to caffeine rush, which isn't good yet since their brain is still developing and would most likely have more effect on that rather than your grow speed. I was always taught tea is for everyone, coffee is for grownups, though I don't like it anyway so I don't drink it
but a 17 year old enjoying a cup of coffee and not drinking 3-4 a day is not bad IMO, but then again I'm no doctor

[Clarste]

I'm pretty sure the coffee thing is a myth.

[Frailty]

I knew it! -.-
he lets me drink alcohol but no coffee?
it's weird I hate it, I mean can I at least have the freedom to drink whatever I want
EDIT:
oh yeah thanks for answering

another EDIT:
another question
can anyone name me the title of the manga that's in the jump cover?

[speck123]

Medaka Box, per chance?

[risingstar3110]

@Frailty: i don't think coffee will affect height grow, but it's not as healthy so most ppl recommend you not to...
It may indirectly affect height growth through (for example: coffee=>affect your biological clock=> uneasy sleep => affect height growth...)

Also, yeah the manga is Medaka Box



Btw, i have a weird fetish of liking completely overpowered characters (super bonus if it's a girl, a cute or cool one would be extra bonus as well)..... is there any moe type fit that type of fetish? xD

The "I Am Your Master Rawr!" tsundere? That's the best I can think up.

Komari's question: I've been seeing this little white thing around the Internet a lot. He/It's small, white, and looks a lot like Mashimaro, but he opens his eyes sometimes. There's various GIFs of him; one in particular that I'm looking for is one where he has a face and is giving a big thumbs-up.
It's the guy who's in this pic:

If you know him, please tell me his name!

[teachopvutru]

^Not sure what picture you are trying to find, but I think he's called "Onion." Google "Onion Head," "Onion Avatar," or something equivalent.

Yes! Yes! Thank you very much. I finally know who that guy I see everywhere is.

[Vexx]

He is a powerful figure .... for everyone's sake, use him sparingly

In terms of the caffeine thing its a total myth, as is not eating your fruits and vegetables. I've been drinking coffee since I was about 4, never really ate fruits or vegetables, got really hooked on coffee when I was about 14 and I still ended up 6'2".

As for the whole assassination thing, this isn't 1914 and nothing will ever happen like Franz Ferdinand again, it wouldn't cause WWIII because unlike in WWI there are no intertwining alliances like there used to be. Germany as a government would not be held responsible for his death any more than the police in NYC are responsible for a random murder.

I agree the coffee thing is a myth, I drank coffee alot as a kid and I grew to a reasonable height. But I'm not a good source since coffee, energy drinks, and tea all make me sleepy instead of hyper(if I drink to much earl grey I get shakey).

I have a question though, I've been wondering about this for some time but you know when like a dude sees a really cute girl in an anime and he gets a nose bleed? Why does that happen? Never in my entire life have I ever witnessed someone having a nose bleed from arousal.

This doesn't actually happen, the idea is that when you get aroused you get hotheaded and all the blood rushes to your head (this doesn't actually happen, it rushes to other places) but its just a visual way of showing that they're aroused.

[Le Zeep]

Ah thank you for clearing that up, I geuss it's a better portrayl to show tha what actually happens haha.

[speck123]

People do get nosebleeds from suffering anemia, though.
