EVE General Discussion

Why? You're going to have to point out the rules that it's broken to qualify it for even just a lock in the first place before ISD thinks about deleting it.

Right. As an (European) man I can say I am not very attracted by most models or actresses. I am sorry but I do not find Megan Fox so sexy. Especially after her facial reconstruction. Without beeing offensive I believe that the most men loving such features are US-men. In no other country running around so many women and even young girls with chirugic changes faces or artificial breasts. Most of them very unnatural.

So I find it a little bit presumptuous to say all (western) men like skinny women with big racks.



My reason to create and play a female character except for the reason of your friend: I like girls which compare sex appeal with independence, intelligence and toughness - in reality as well as in games or movies. So I would say a female capsuleer fits into this.

Its a shame really . . . how the rest of the world perceives Americans. You all really only see the cosmopolitan part of the American culture. I can tell you that living in the rural midwest of the US, things are a lot different.

With all due respect, the USA has no real or old culture. This even said a US-American I have spoken to recently. Your country is too young and a mixture of many (European) cultural fragments. But I believe that the life on the country could be much better.

You do realize that America is the melting pot of most other world cultures right? Its not our fault the rest of the world follows what we do, but since most people in Hollywood get their inspiration from other cultures maybe it would be better for others to change their perception of beauty instead of blaming America right? Or is that too easy? Also don't call us victims when in the same paragraph you say that we are the ones that lead world culture (which I highly disagree with).

I'm pretty sure "obsession with beauty" can be traced back well before the signing of the Declaration, and the other cultures influence "Amerika" the same way they are influenced by "Amerika" (as indicated by your Coca Cola-Sushi comment). While Sushi is healthier than Coca Cola, the world can also thank "Amerika" for many advances in medicine, science, and agriculture.

"Amerika" is many things good and many things no to good. Try not to do what many Europeans do and throw out the baby with the bathwater (or in this case should I say - chamber pot?).

Not, it is not that easy. It is not my opinion only. I have heard the same opinion of many people which are much smarter than me when it comes to globalization. In short it is in nearly all globalized countries or cultures the case that the American view is dominant and pushes the national cultures and views back. You see it in the daily news, in the entertainment media, in the known international goods, in the language, in the politics and many others.

I admit I have created many female alts, in a creepy mood. I am guilty.

female 1
female 2
female 3
female 4
female 5
female 6
female 7

I doubt that.

Well which is it? So far you have said that America is too new to have a formal culture yet now you say that our culture is enough to push national views out of the picture. Also here in America (and other stretches of the world, because Eve is a single sharded game so we have people in the Alliance form all over) there is national news and global news. We have news about other parts of the world too, because that is what news if for. Also we have entertainment from other walks of life (again, so do other areas of the world as per what my alliance mates have told me).

About 'English' being the 'Global language' I hate to break it too you but the UK have been speaking English for longer than the US has existed. That dates back to the British Empire.

And about international goods, a lot finished products that are shipped off of US soil are actually made in places like Mexico, Taiwan, Japan, China, and the list goes on. Seeing a product that is actually made in the US is a rarity these days.

And about politics, while I would have agreed with you 20 years ago now places like China and Israel actually more powerful, because all of the things America does is taken into great consideration as to not make those governments angry, to put it plainly.

I get the feeling that you have not gotten an updated view of the world as what you are saying pertains to the 60's and 70's. America is not the powerhouse that it used to be and is in fast decline. While we still hold a somewhat minor hold on what happens in the world, there are bigger dogs in the doghouse that even the US does not want to **** off.
