Everyone on Susie is doing pseudo sex-work!

I've always just done it for the love of the game.

9/11 wasn't the first time people took Nostradamus too seriously. If you read his predictions, they're either incredibly generally or strangely specific but in a way that people can take it all as metaphor.

Drawing is our thing at the moment. I struggle to see us breaking that before Christmas.

Would be better if you could see what they were in for. They could make it a guessing game. You guess what it is by their photo and description.

Central America really. Southern Mexico, Guatemala and Belize. CST is the timezone I think.

Oh. I haven't mentioned Bastards yet. I have to admit, I felt a little underwhelmed by Biophilia. It was a very good album, the singing was top notch and the production was ridiculous. But there was something that was missing from it for me.
They put together a full remix album now though and it's pretty spectacular. Album of the year for me.
My two picks:

Some words down my ribs. Hurt like a bitch. What's a good brand of antibacterial soap?

I've got some bepanthem stuff to put on it, supposed to be good isn't it?

Yeah, that works.
Also, pretty much any soap will do the trick, just so long as it's unscented. Dove bars work well.

What did you get?

But no. Just make sure to watch it a twice a day with unscented anti bacterial soap and you'll be fine. Don't put vaseline on it or any other petrolium based product on it. Avoid scented lotions. Don't scratch it, don't rub it. When you wash it, pat it gently.

Detest that cunt. Every fibre of her existence makes my blood boil.

Fucking yes. Her and Katy Perry too.

Also in this list http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_firearm-related_death_rate
I was surprised to see Switzerland and Finland in the top 20.

Don't know much about Switzerland, but in Finland I believe that's mostly due to a very high suicide rate.

I read somewhere that it is more to overthrow oppressive Governments but not sure how true it is.

Yes, but think about when that was written. They had just spent 8 years at war with their ruling country that was pretty much screwing them and the most advanced weapon was a gun. Really shit guns too. The right to bear arms is there to protect your ability to be able to form a militia and have a solid crack at winning a battle with the powers that be. The actual quote in the constitution after all is "a well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed."

That makes sense in the late 1700s. But now it's... I mean have however many guns you want, you're not going to overthrow the US government. I was going to explain why that's not possible but I find it too depressing to think that someone would need that explained to them. There's just no way. Not unless every other country in the world jumps on your team.

I'm sure I had a closing point in mind when I started this, but I forget now. I think you need to understand a little bit more about the difference between everyone has the RIGHT to bear arms and having that put in the document which founds your country and making guns legal as in Finland and Switzerland and places like that which you've never heard mass shooting happen in. The difference is entitlement, basically. Makes it harder to put regulations in place to stop people who shouldn't have guns getting guns because all the Republicans have to do is go "THEY'RE COMING FOR YOUR GUNS, IT IS YOUR RIGHT TO HAVE GUNS AS AN AMERICAN" and then suddenly noone votes Democrat in the midwest.

For the record, I don't like guns because I'm from England so they scare me. I think they're pretty cool and some of my friend have those airsoft ones but if someone gave me a real one I'd feel very uncomfortable.

But calling it a right is like saying to every cunt in America "hey, you should get a gun". That's my point about the semantics of it. It was relevant when the document was writen as they were scared of the British but now it's just dangerous.

It is a Right in the US. It is the Right to Bear Arms in the constitution.

I'm not disputing that, I'm disputing what you said which is this.

The Right to bear arms should not change in America either just because of the minority. In fact it should be added here but with tighter controls

Typical Fox News leaking incorrect information. The Right to bear arms should not change in America either just because of the minority. In fact it should be added here but with tighter controls

Nope. Having a gun isn't a right and it shouldn't be described as such. I'm more interesting in peoples rights not to be shot in the face. I'm not saying guns should be made a legal, it's just the fact that they call it a right. People have a right to life, to privacy, to freedom of thought and expression, to work, to have access to education, to have access to health care and stuff like that.
Having a gun shouldn't be a right, it should be a privilege. A privilege given to those who have been examined and who professional doctors have decided are mentally able enough to have a gun.

Semantics are important.

North Korea is the least threatening place on the planet.

I don't know about you but I'm terrified of a low budget version of the 1950s.

Is that not in the same league of having to build an army? It would be interesting to see someone put into a fantasy setting who's generally selfish. Someone who doesn't really care what happens to the people or the world he's been taken to as long as he gets out, the easiest way out possible.

Hmm. One thing I'd say, which depends entirely on why you like writing, is that making it about a crashed fighter pilot is a bit cliché. I guess that's kind of the point since you're going to switch around with the fantasy thing but that's just my personal thing. I mean they made me read a book about fighter pilots in school. Never again. But I guess that's more a framing device and it could be more interesting with your rather brash writing style. As long as you don't make him a typical badass hero then you should be fine.

What might be cool is if it was implied that there was magic and high fantasy shit but it's not actually relevant to anything. Like magic is a thing that exists but these people don't really have anything to do with it. Kind of like if you took the Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe but instead of kids being made into royalty it was just some cunt getting on with it.

Well, no. It should be legal. But so should other stuff. The fact that salvia is legal is proof that most people don't give a fuck. If people wanted to do salvia, they would, but they don't. Take cocaine. People who want to do cocaine will do cocaine whether it's legal or not. I find it impossible to believe that someone would be tempted to do any drug bar maybe cannabis just because it's legal. It's not like it would all be sold in chemists. You'd still need to buy it from a dodgy Russian guy but this way you could make drug dealers register, pay taxes and make sure they aren't cutting drugs with ground up Finish tablets.

But yeah, music.

I tried salvia once, never again.

It's funny. I didn't like it and most of my friends didn't like it either. Except one who loved it. Salvia isn't like other hallucinogens though. You don't feel safe on salvia at all and if you're tripping and you don't feel safe then it won't end well.

It's weird though. Salvia is perfectly legal. You could get 7 years for having LSD or Shrooms.

Edited to make me sound less retarded.

Went out last night, woke up at six in the morning at some bird's house and wrote the synopsis for a book on her computer. Forgot to email it to myself so I had to write it out again. Fuck women.

I'll bite.
What's the synopsis?
