Oi people - think before you click!Yesterday I got spammed to hell with messages linking to different variants of this image:
They can have slightly different graphics or contain different links but the message is always basically the same - go to this page and you'll receive 20 000

.
I have to ask the question - how dim do you have to be to fall for it?
Ok let's see - we have an image hosted on a profile that is 1 day old and asks you to visit a website with a strange url with a promise of a financial reward on an another website. How do you even imagine that would work? And now, of course, people start crying that their computers got infected with malware. Which is great - every genius who fell for this obvious phishing scam deserved it. I hope your shitty computer burns and you along with it.
I know this is a no-duh for 90% of people reading it but for the sake of the rest lets revise what we all should know about online phishig. And before you go all:
No, no you can't.

Opinions are a Dangerous thing: Art StylesThis isn't about narking on anyone no, infact this is just my own muses really! You could say this is a journal for ENCOURAGEMENT! *SHINES*
I find sticking to one style restrictive if you are a beginning/moderate artist! (even professionals I might say! though I can't speak for everyone)
Having a distinctive look on how your art is done and produced is understandable and its a desire to appear unique to the point some one can just SEE your work and instantly think 'Oh! that's Ten-days!' or something along the line. However, when you are trying to find who you are and what kind of art you are to produce, I recommend trying, well, a lot of different things! Different styles, mixing styles, different colouring techinque, brushes, tools, shading. Don't feel dependant on what you are already doing and don't feel pressured by people just for trying new things!
Push out of your comfort zone. Can't draw hands? don't avoid it! draw the heck out of them! (how else are you going to learn?)

Nintendo STEALS Money!Since this has been going around lately, I should probably give my two cents. Basically what it amounts to is that Nintendo has filed Content ID info of their games with YouTube. What this means is that if you upload gameplay video of a Nintendo game, YouTube will automatically monetize that video, put ads on it, a link to where to buy the game, and take the money generated from that video and give it directly to Nintendo. People who do "let's play" videos are, naturally, pissed off because they want to be earning money off their videos, so they're calling Nintendo "thieves" for doing this.
I can see both sides to the story. I can see Nintendo as a corporation wanting to exercise control over their properties. On the other hand, "let's play" videos can often help new gamers find games they otherwise wouldn't have tried.
But here's the thing: Nintendo isn't the first company do this. Both Microsoft and Ubisoft do it already. YouTube has also had a long history of having music videos and

Principles

In a perfect world conflict would be settled not by armed conflict but by justice which applies to everyone regardless of tribe. For example in Bosnia it was apparently wrong for the Serb and Croatian entities to want to break away so NATO stopped them. Then in Kosovo NATO supports the break away from Serbia. Now how is it both right and wrong for people to break away? Logically this is not possible. To me this seems like the operation of double standards.

I conducted a survey to find out who people thought had the right to the land. Not a statistically significant sample but 7 thought whoever had the biggest army. Probably the most realistic answer. 7 said a people who were originally there and 4 said a people who came along afterwards who live there now. The reason I asked this question is that to my mind it is the key principle at stake in the Arab-Israeli conflict. Now at one time I would have answered that the original people had the rights but then I realised that this principle would cause endless wars. As we all came from Africa we could all easily claim origin in another part of the world. The principle of who is there first would justify the Red Indians reclaiming America, recovery of German lands in Poland, Finland reclaiming Karelia from Russia and so on. No the only principle which could serve peace is the status quo. If its right for Jews to reclaim Israel then it justifies war in similar circumstances everywhere. Me I'm off to reclaim Normandy for the English throne. Anyone coming?

True that justice heeds no tribe or nation. Sad, but our world is one ruled by natural law: survival of the fittest. People want and if their desire conflicts with the desires of another, then there is war, in one form or another. As for the Arab-Israeli conflict, let us be honest: a nation of the Jews is a prosperous, developed, technologically advanced and productive society. The hypothetical nation of Palestine would be poor, neglected (by its own populous), primitive and still angry. Why bother with "Palestine?" Seriously: why bother? Passions aside and honesty to the fore, "Israel" is the better outcome.

*Roboman28 Apr 10, 2013

I have the quaint view that justice should be for rich and poor alike. Still up to about 50 years ago say your view in the last sentences would have been regarded as the normal view of progress and civilisation. These days exterminating aborigines and red indians is regarded as poor form.

*yellowplasma Apr 10, 2013

Justice is not a subjective theory. It is the spirit of sowing and reaping. When there are two factions and one is productive and the other is not, there is no justification to favor the one which has nothing to offer. Those devoid of productivity are also those devoid of caring. Light must shine or there is only darkness.

*Roboman28 Apr 11, 2013

How can it be justice for one group of people to come along and forcibly remove another group of people who have lived there for hundred of years from the land. The principle of morality is reciprocity. So if you believe that, then its OK if someone does that to you too. Presumably you would not mind then? or is you morality highly selective?

*yellowplasma Apr 11, 2013

Arafat was an Egyptian. Most of the so-called original "Palestinians" were Arabs from elsewhere who moved in. Most of the population of Palestine/Israel are only third or fourth generation to that land, whether Arab or Jew. This is a struggle that resulted from two mutually exclusive ethnic groups converging on the same locale. Yes, there were Arab inhabitants before the influx of Jews, but not many. Many of these original inhabitants were Christian Arabs who have more in common with Christian Lebanese than they do with Muslim Palestinians. These Christian Arabs are bullied by both their Muslim kin AND the Israelis... but they don't fit the politically correct agenda for international sympathy.

~Ozaawaagosh Dec 31, 2012

I would like to jump in here and say, in regard to the Israel treaties, settlements, and occupation thing'y, yes it was wrong at the time, and yes they are there to stay now. But don't make new treaties and agreements with The Palestinians, and turn around and break them, just because you have the military power to do as you want. Same thing happened in the Americas, white government would make treaties with the tribes, and then reneged every treaty they made till us Natives were on scrappy land, that the whites thought were no good or with no land at ALL. In the most part people can and have lived together with out major conflict, it's the governments doing whats not in the best interest of their people who cause all the harm, and bullying, and I will say it, because it is the new buzz word that every one seems to relate to "Terrorism" toward other nations or even it's own people. It comes down to respect, tolerance, and good will, to do the right things now, we can't turn back the hands of time, its time to work together and sort things out and compromise a living and civil agreement amongst all. I will close with some very wise words from our ancestors of thousands of years ago (Everyone benefits when there are fewer conformists, fewer social slaves among us, and more people who are Self responsible. This is brought about through choice.) OK I am done ranting. thats all. Oh yeah, every one have a happy NEW YEAR

*Roboman28 Dec 31, 2012

Yes people with greater power feel free to break treaties and really don't behave in a moral way at all. You only get fair play when people have equal power.

~Ready2ESC Nov 30, 2012

There's no *right* and *wrong* only winners and losers. Just look at history. History is written by the winners and they decide what is *correct* and what is *justified* and what is a *sin* and what is *crime*

*Roboman28 Nov 30, 2012

Historically you are dead right and probably for the future also. The only potential complication to this is that with hydrogen bombs conflict between major powers needs to be avoided because the cost of the war would easily outweigh the benefits. So if people cannot fight things out then people need to settle things by just principles. I thought that was the idea of the United Nations? If people continue the traditional might wins approach we will probably all get wiped out because someone will make a miscalculation. For example I was horrified to see that with the disputed islands both Japan and China have naval vessels close by. It only takes one side to start the violence and things could get rapidly out of hand.

*drewhammond Nov 29, 2012

My mother gave me some really good advice when I was a kid: Don't talk about religion, politics, or race relations with strangers. There are a lot of strangers on DA. 'Nuff said. Drew.
