That's partically because TJ fixman's a liberal :/
Wait, so that's the reason you considered him a 'bad person' in real life?

This man gets it! Give him a cookie! Yep, pokitics can be confusing.
I think "can be" is an understatement.

Just heard of a movie called newt that was scraped because of inside out…. tbh I would rather have newt ( which is basically rio )
And this is to go EVEN FURTHER BEYOND
Hishe just did a Big hero 6 shortcut http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zVRuuyM3NXk not really what I expected…

You didn't like Inside Out?

I'm actually good friends with a main character animator on Rio 1. He currently works on <shudders> the Buppy Guppies!

Politics? Well I wish I had come in earlier. Every country has it's funny little stories to tell, and I am sure they are great. But the only news I hear comes from what is going on my NZ, the US, and the UK. They are all stuffed up in their own way. But for every convenient solution, there is a consequence for an opposing side. The trouble is finding the balance between two extremes while keeping everyone happy.
Consider euthanasia. It's a grim topic that people try to avoid, and if I were to generalise, you would discover that it upsets people of spiritual beliefs when it is in effect, but when not in effect it will upset people who do not believe in life after death. Most governments like to avoid this sort of thing and instead focus all their attention and taxes on less important issues that most people don't care about like say… changing the flag.
One thing I believe to be very important in politics though, is that they should leave out those who do not care. Don't force someone to have an opinion on something they don't want to have an opinion on. This will just increase the chances of randomisation.

Haha, changing the flag. Yeah, that was silly. In The Netherlands the queen has this golden chariot. This thing is hundreds of year old. But one side is believe to display slaves from Indonesia back in… WWII? I'm not sure. People wanted it painted over because it shows slaves. But you can't chance history by violating an artefact. I don't understand why people even bother…

Similiarly to the Sinterklaas issue, I guess? Well that's why I'd move to Canada.

Hmm… they either display the Indonesian slaves because Indonesia was the Dutch's pride, like Singapore for the British, or they hated us so much. Oh, back then, most of Indonesians also hated the Dutchmen so much. They don't just fight them, they subtly insulted them. But I won't tell the story, because I think it's gonna be really offensive for you, Heather. Unless you ask for it.

Just like with the Sinterklaas thing, this is the first I have heard of this issue in the Netherlands. We don't really get updated on what goes on up in your part of the world that much. But I must say, I would be very much against defiling a piece of history like that. People get overly sensitive about issues that just aren't there sometimes. Slavery was a really awful thing that happened, and people need not forget that it happened. Re-painting a wagon is not going to help those people at all though.
