Hiya! Nice to hear from you (took me a while to figure "Dumela" out -
forgot what it meant. I'm more comfortable with Konichiwa!)
Anyway, on your firts question...ta dah! The title is Sparta and Athens: a study
in Alterite. Basically its a comparrison between the two city states and why
they differed to the extent which they did. But that is in the past - I handed
the damn thing in today, the final manuscript, to be moderated. So I'm
free!
Anyway, thats just for a Masters degree. I'm thinking of doing another Masters
degree next year in Linguistics. A Doctarate wil have to wait for a
while.
I finished Jigoku Shoujo about a week ago. Was quite good. My only criticism
would be the repetitiveness of the first 20+ eps - someone has a grudge, Enma Ai
is summoned and someone gets send to hell. I would have wanted mre from her
background than just the last 3 eps. But I hear they are currently working on
another season whih would be good.
I like tho whole concept though: send someone to hell and be punished by being
send to hell as well. Some of the reasons were a bit frivolous
though....
Yo! No, I haven't forgotten you. Indeed I am honored that you called on me
first. Its also been a while since I myself have visited MT. Been mostly working
on my thesis.
In general I wouldn't recommend a complete shut-off from social contact. You
wouldn't want to end up an academic wreck or hermit just because you don't like
people. If not for people, especially friends, what do you have left?
So close those books once in a while and just spend time with friends.
Not gonna preach to you now. Not old enough to do that. What you do is your
buisiness - I can only make recommendations.
ps Not my business (either) but I read the previous post and I'm afraid I have
to agree with phoenixalcott's reaction. I don't know the background of the
thread, but you can't judge an entire religion on what the minority extremists
does. And that goes for every religion, culture, and even sect you may care to
mention. General rule. Be carefull not to be stereotypical.
Quote by EmpixusXastEven though I'm a
man, marmaladeboyfan,you're getting first place for your opinion; that's right
there are religions proning the absolute women's thraldom. Obviously, I'm
targeting one in particular, that is Islam. First, before giving concrete
examples of their CRUELTY as regards female sex, i'll give to you a quote
directly coming from their "precious" Koran. ( of course this is not
word by word , but the main idea remains)
" If your slave wishes to save you, there is no need to ask you beforehand.
The case is the same for women"
Thus Koran itself prooves that women are nothing than junks or slaves.
Now , specific events wherein women was undergoing stern or horrid
traumatisms:
1) I've already heard through TV that a islamic woman was wholly marred onto her
face( ears, mouth, nose) by reason of supposed husband's suspicions of adultery.
Of course, because of the Koran , this scurvy and flagitious man was protected
and even more, his neighbour said that he was quite right to defigurate her. In
reality , the marred woman did nothing......
2) Furthermore, another case more horrid, concerning another islamic family, the
husband's family was assisting to an incestuous and raping of girl's wife and
herself. Unfortunately, every male member violates the girl and the husband's
wife.
3) Through a site devoting to women who have suffered this kind of atrocity, I
discovered that a raped woman feared lest she might be killed by her own father
just because, according to Koran, a violated woman is a woman of bad faith. In
other words , if she got violated, she deserved it.
As you might saw, there are so many atrocities done in the world and this , in
gross, at the expense of women. Just by thinking of infibulation because men are
too egoistic to restrict their sexual pulsions, I'm completely negatively
flabbergasted.
Anyway, it's not amazing I'm affected by misandry( hatred of men).
Hope you didn't consider this reply too shocking.

hello. i came to ur page for a specific purpose. that is
to clarify ur disgusting and most distorted view of Islam. unfortunately, u hav
cum into contact with what is commonly called Islamic extremism. To my dismay, u
havnt been of the fortunate ones who hav realized thta this is Islamic extremism
but rather think it is Islam itself. There are hundreds of converts to Islam
everyday b/c they realize that society has cast a distorted view of Islam. Our
precious Qur'an actually states that women ARE equal to men and i cud prove this
in a variety of ways using of course first hand sources from the Qur'an itself.
If u r talking about the Hijab (the veil), Islam doesn't only mark it as
mandatory for women, but for men as well. Men on the other hand do not need to
wear the Burwah but they musn't wear clothes that show their form or su ch. You
call Islam a terrible women degrading religion but look at today's society. they
degrade women each day with their exposive clothing and their songs that
objectify women. FYI Islam givs women a shield, with the Hijab, men r much less
l ikely to attack women or more improtantly rape them b./c their beauty isnt
shown and nor is their figure. i m sure that at the least u r intelligent enuf
to realize that 73% of rapes or attempted rapes occur b/c men r obseessive over
women and the Hijab stops that. i used to share a similar view to urs a year ago
until i actually had enuf courage to do research onthis amazing religion and
actually figure out the reason to the Hijab. ON the other hand, u believed these
distoreted misrepresentations sent out by the media and society about Islam
without any tru judgement from Muslims themselves. Thank u and hav a splendid
day.
Quote by EmpixusXastFor the first
time, she looks sooo intelligent. Notwithstanding, what the heck is she
reading?
Oh my... it seems a stultificating book!
Anyway, thanks for the contribution. ^-^
Thank you very much for your comment on my Nerine scan ^^
I hope that you like it.
Quote by EmpixusXastUh, little
question :
What's your theory about Etruscan civilization's origin? I heard through an old
magazine that they came from Lydia because there was a big starvation. Thus the
half population immigrated toward Italian boot.
Anyway, thanks.
The whole problem with the Etruscans is that
they are a bit early (writing were still experimental, even for them) and then
the Romans conquered them in the 3rd century BC. We do know, however, on
archeological basis, that they were culturaly even more advanced than the Romans
(more artistic for one) but that their armies couldn't keep the Romans at bay.
What kind of sealed the negative Roman feeling was that Rome's last kings, the
Tarquins, were from Etruscan origin, and it was after Tarquin Superbus that the
Romans abolished kingship in Rome (511BC) and became a Republic. Tarquin's
friends from Tarquinia (Etruria) tried to re-instate him, a few wars were
fought, and a general feeliing of ill will was present untill they were
conquered by the Romans.
Why am I telling you this? O yes...
The theory that they came from Lydia (West Turkey) was first mentioned by
Herodotus (1.94 - his Tyrrhians which settled in Umbria are sometimes identified
with the Etruscans).This was one of Herodotous' famous digressions, i.e. a story
he told which took him of the topic. Usually such stories were just hear-say -
basically gossip or local legends, not always true. Personally I'd say that the
Etruscans were indigenious Italic people (their writing script looks more Italic
than Greek). Take a look HERE. Some
interesting theories and facts. On the language, see THIS.
You are not allowed to submit artwork which you did not create (with the only
exception to scans). This is called ripping and is strictly not allowed in MiniTokyo. This includes
writing poor descriptions for your gallery item which suggests potential
ripping.
This is your first warning.

Quote by EmpixusXast It's a really good artwork whereon hues
and shadings are used adequatedly...uh.. what am I saying...wonderfully.
Besides, I don't observe any flaws yet and if you did it without model , my
double congratulations.
-um,, i did it with a model but i wasn't able to copy it as it is,,(im not good
at it)
but thanks a lot for your kind comment on my sky~high angels
thank you for appreciating it!
really i thank you!
Quote by EmpixusXastThat's a good
Anime picture because there are many details and , moreover, the girls belongs
more to those of reality, exception of course of their
eyes.
Thanks for the comment I'm glad that you like it!
See you soon
Quote by EmpixusXastHello again, I
sent two messages to you through e-mail .
Little question: How do you get your Animes?
Through torrents, television or perhaps Youtube?
Does South Africa have these Anime on their channel or what? For my case, the
best Animes don't exist in Canada, sigh..! There are so few...
A la prochaine......( See ya around)
Tnaxus Xast

Yes I got your emails, although I only sent one reply (hopefully the content
would make up for 2 ).
Anime hardly exist officially in South Africa. We did have a dubbed version of
Dragon Ball Z on TV a loooong while ago, but hardly anything else. If you were
lucky enough to have Satelite TV, you might have seen a weekly anime on one of
the British channels, but that has been discarded a while ago (of course they
were dubbed, but better than nothing). We also have an extremely poor selection
of DVDs in shops (at expensive prices and dumped under the heading childrens'
movies together with Walt Disney). Thus the general consent is to distribute
fansubs or ripped versions (Anime is hardly if ever licensed here - at least not
as far as I know). So people who have the connection download it by whatever
means, usually through torrents (my own connection's to slow to handle it ) and
then they spread it. The local attitude is that since the shops don't carry it,
you can't buy it anyway, so you distribute what you have for free. Hence piracy
is active here, although no-one sells or buys it.
Just a warning though, do not ask for or spread sources on MT. You might get
away with it, but MT might not (its too big so the powers that be might notice
it and sue MT), so MT doesn't allow anything that might be illegal on its own
pages.
Would you like to be friends? You have a nice gallery! I like the girl with
brown hair in pink! I hope to see your gallery grow! See you around Minitokyo!
Quote by EmpixusXastIn consideration
of your Rozen Maiden loving plus the fact I was lucky to stumble upon you( it
was through somebodyelse to my remembrance), I recently drew a picture of Suigin
Tou . Nevertheless , when a doujinshi is done , I know how pathetic the number
of comments we could received( people has a proclivity to view foremost scans ,
which is generally better quality). That's why I personally request people to
HARSHLY comment( I don't want useless comment like "cute" or "not
bad" but something constructive.) As I said , you liked Rozen Maiden , ergo
, please( I supply you given the fact people are too lazy to respond to my
former requests) take a wee of you time to comment in a useful manner, that is ,
at the first sight , say the first criticisms passing through your mind.
The name of my doujinshi is " Suigin Tou is running amuck"
If you're angry for whatsoever reason , it's better and thereby you'll
criticisms will be harsher( id est more constructive to me).
Thanks in advance!
Please answer( how pathetic I am)
Question: Did you look up for me after seeing my sig?
But I'm not Simon of MT, mind you. I don't play faves either,
and I don't get angst when judging; it provides me with a clearer head.
Desu!
Heya, no, I'm not ignoring your messages, not at all (still waiting anxiously
for part 2 ), I had some stuff to finish first.
You have my comment on the pic (I can see that you have definate talent, but
like mine, it kinda stagnated [can't even remember the last time I drew
something]).
Hope you could understand *something* of the Afrikaners
Quote by EmpixusXastI was waiting a
so long period of time before finding a new picture of Suigintou!
Moreover, it seems that I've never seen this one !
Holy Thanks!
Though , why " for adult only" is labeled at the bottom?
Hi! I'm glad you could find another one. I dont like much the anime, but this
char is really amazing.
The image is labelled with 'adult only' because unfortunately this one was taken
from a doujin cover. The best anime images are from doujins, as you can see in
my gallery :/

I also send you an attachment. Untill next time, I'm looking forward to your

Quote by EmpixusXastI wonder why
nobody comment this doujinshi because it is wonderfully drawn!
I just hope that Botchii won't do an onset onto it like my
pictures!
Yep, sometimes images got delet, but ist's been some time since the last
deletion.
Quote: Nice to meet you , ^_^
Be sure that your english will grow in power in a trice.
Just for giving an example, I was pitiful in English one year ago ,withal
nowadays I write and speak(okay the pronunciation isn't perfect: the foe of a
french speaker) better than the english of the average english native.
You only need volition and you already have it!
By the way, GERMANY rules.
Despite this is not my country , I have my reasons explaining my high respect
towards this country.
i totally agree with that. well my english is worst cause i usally don't need to
write or talk it, this is the first time a had to write in english for a long
time. i think it will improve, really hope so.
your from france? oh, love france, i always wanted to visit paris, it's such an
awesome city. you like germany? well i don't like it so much, its nice but
somehow everyone in my age or under it, would love to live anywhere else.
