How come the Japanese don't get **** for being racist? They are well known for being extremely xenophobic and they don't even allow Japanese born people of Korean descent to vote. If an American even thought about suggesting something like that they would be lynched.

More of a debate section topic. >_>
Anyways I got a question.
What does it mean when I get a notification and I click on it. It tells me that I got an unread VM so I click on it. There are no unread VMs and it wont stop telling me that I got an unread VM.
what's wrong?

It's a glitch in the forums. It'll go away eventually.

Delete any vm and then refresh your page. That should take care of your problem.

Quick guys, my brothers wallet got stolen which included his license, state ID, credit card, debit card, and like 20 bucks. He's trying to cancel his cards right now. What else should he be doing after he's done canceling the cards? Do note that it's 11:00pm.

No, Chess is a game.

It's a sport and a game.

Well, cancelling the cards is probably the most important part. Considering he had ID, he may also want to notify the Police and/or Credit Bureaus to avoid being a victim of identity theft. Apart from this, I'd imagine he'd want to contact the necessary people to get his ID and License cards back. And on that note, does he even need to carry his License? Considering he carries a State ID anyway. Over here if you need to prove you have a Drivers License, they'll normally give you a few days to produce the necessary documentation so you don't have to carry around these somewhat valuable things with you. Might help to be smart about what he puts into his wallet next time.

No. Where would you get such an impression.

Yea you have to carry your license in case if the police pull you over, they ask for license and if you don't have it you have to go to court to show it and get a ticket. But thanks for trying to help.

So it's not like in England where they ask you to provide the documentation within seven days for proof? The Police here can check all of your driving related details over radio communications anyway, so they allow you a week to present them with documentation. I could understand if it was your only form of identification, but it'd be a major hassle if you were careless and misplaced it somewhere. Such things are a lot safer stored at home!

The system is keeping him down man.

If an American even thought about suggesting something like that they would be lynched. Also, what are some other countries full of painfully racist people that don't get hassled for their views? Don't say the United States. You can be racist in America if you are black or mexican but as far as most Americans are concerned if you aren't ashamed of being white then you are a disgusting racist.

I've always wondered this myself, too. And on the subject of Japanese people, I really don't get why some people view them to be this "perfect" race - sure, we shouldn't dwell on the past, either, but that kind of misconception is just... yeah.

I think this should go here... anyway, when I'm drawing big pictures (so, like, on A2 paper) I find it difficult to shade them properly because the darker bits have to cover a bigger area so it's harder to blend the colours together. Anybody got any solutions to this/tips?

Nope. If you get pulled over, they'll ask you to produce your license and vehicle registration. You're required to have these two things with you if you're driving.

That'll depend largely on what media you're using..

I'm using copic markers.

Hm. I'm not well-versed in using copic markers. Maybe someone else here knows. Or try the fan art section?

[GrizzlyB]

Maybe he went to a metal concert?

Does anybody know if Comic Genesis is free? I've been showing some of my Sprite Comic work to other folks, and one of them said he wanted to show it to his other contacts. I don't have any place to put them, though, and I've been considering what website would be a good option.

If not, It'd be nice to know if there are any other free hosting spaces I might be able to use.
