What could possibly be more cool than a Japanese Samurai?

A White Japanese Samurai.

@Batmantheorphan: They are contributing as advisors. since they own the franchise but chose not to publish this one they will still be getting royalties in some form.

Well, Sega has the final say in any Bayonetta game, they own the franchise not Platinum nor Nintendo. Think of Bayonetta 2 as Sonic: Lost World, Nintendo is funding its development and publishing it, but they still don't own the Sonic brand.

With that said, Sega is big into digital download games right now, so a Nintendo eShop release of Bayonetta is very likely, in my opinion. They don't even need Platinum to port it over since it belongs to them, they can do it themselves or even outsource the port to whoever they want.

I don't know, but I've always considered atheism a religious belief like any other.

Edit:

Every religious person craves their place in the afterlife, there may be some that just want to save others but for most its a point system.

Nah, I don't think it's that simple. Good people exist in every belief system, and they try and spread peace to as many people as they can out of love and compassion. Many atheist can't stand seeing people suffer under oppression (sometimes religious, sometimes secular). Many think that the religion is the root cause so they protest against it. In some cases they could be right, in others not.

I don't think there's ever a need to demonize anyone. I think most people mean well (except on the internet, of course!).

So basically you're saying America is a race... got it.cslayer211

Nope, not at all. I actually stated the opposite earlier, but I digress.

Many people feel that when he said "Keep America American", he was loading his speech with racism. The reason some feel as such is because he is implying that America should be/look a certain way. Since there is no such thing as an American race, it is up to the listener to figure out what Romney considers "American". This same tactic was used by the KKK earlier, as many have pointed out. That alone should show the possibility of racism in the phrase he used. It's mostly empty rhetoric, sure, but it could also be laced with some racist or xenophobic elements.

I don't think that's at all far-fetched.

Well that not Romney's slogan, His slogan is "Believe in America". These elections seems to get worse each year, with both sides throwing mud with little stuff to back it up.

:lol: Are you the comedic interlude?LJS9502_basic

I was referring to the whole"people don't need to see my birth certificate; they know where i'm from" bit Romeny stated. Also, the "Keep American, American" bit as well.

But I am curious now. What was the funniest part of the interlude? I'd really like to know..

You did read the other posts, right?

Maybe he would be more accuarate if the slogan was kepp america irish-spanish -mexicanand so onEmpCom

Finally, someone who understands how darn mixed the US is.

There's no such thing as an American Race, I think that's obvious. All you can say for sure is that Americans are mostly descendants of Europeans or Whites as they are often called (Irish, Spanish, French, German, English, Polish, and so on..). The white majority tends to be fearful of non-whites in general (African American, Arabs, Mexicans and other so called "Latinos" who are actually Native Americans, racially), which Republicans tend to exploit.

I don't get the connection between Romney's slogan and Obama's birth certificate. o_O

Unless Romney's slogan was made in Kenya.

romney said in a speech he made (paraphrasing here) that "people don't need to see my birth certificate; they know where i'm from". something like that. anyway, the comment was clearly him trying to appeal/perpetuate the birther bs

edit: damn, i made a lot of typos :P

Romney was trying to appeal to racists in the Republican base with this comment, and quite shamelessly might I add. (Birtherism mostly, with a bit of Anti-Mexican sentiment thrown in for good measure)

Where did you get the idea that the Republican Party is at all religious?

They couldn't hate the poor more loudly if they tried. They do use religious people cynically by manipulating them with fear and what not. Religious, though? How so?

Maybe if Plutocracism becomes a crooked belief system in the future. But until then, no..

[QUOTE="BradBurns"]It isn't up to people to prove anything of a religious/personal nature to anyone. Perhaps the argument could be made if the person says something about God in the scientific world, but as long as it remains personal/spiritual, they don't really owe anyone anything. HoolaHoopMan

If only the world worked that way, where everyone kept their religious beliefs to themselves in a personal/spiritual way.
