No, it's for healthy funny reasons in this case because the child will be a mixture of the appearance and traits of its parents, so how funny would it be to have Zseni and Josh's kid running around and being neglected? I don't know if there are any relationships like that forming naturally inside the house because you aren't telling us shit, but if people aren't getting along, you might as well force characters into it.

I had this problem too, but then I realized it was because I was only trying to fuck high school girls for whom the option doesn't appear. I hugged the FUCK out of those pretty little bitches :( Sex is called &quot;Woohoo&quot; and the girl has to have graduated high school and be in love with you for the option to appear. Once she's in love, the most successful method is to get her to &quot;relax on the bed&quot; with you privately, queue up a few &quot;kiss passionately&quot;'s, and then try a Woohoo. You'll be successful half the time. The fuck will last 10 seconds.</description>

&#13;&lt;BR&gt;
Here's an interesting thing for you to know about France and New Zealand:&#13;&lt;BR&gt;
&#13;&lt;BR&gt;
&lt;BLOCKQUOTE&gt;&#13;&lt;BR&gt;
The sinking of the Rainbow Warrior, codenamed Opération Satanique[1], was an operation by the &quot;action&quot; branch of the French foreign intelligence services, the Direction Générale de la Sécurité Extérieure (DGSE), carried out on July 10, 1985. It aimed to sink the flagship of the Greenpeace fleet, the Rainbow Warrior, in the port of Auckland, New Zealand, to prevent her from interfering in a nuclear test in Moruroa.&#13;&lt;BR&gt;
&#13;&lt;BR&gt;
Agents had boarded and examined the ship while she was open to public viewing and explosions were calculated to cripple the ship but not take people's lives. A plan was devised to achieve this using two limpet mines. A smaller first explosion would cause the ship to be evacuated allowing a second larger explosion to sink the ship without loss of life. Two limpet mines were attached to the hull and detonated 10 minutes apart at around 11:45 p.m., and the ship sank in four minutes following the second explosion.&#13;&lt;BR&gt;
&#13;&lt;BR&gt;
However the crew did not react to the first explosion as the agents had expected. While the ship was initially evacuated, some of the crew returned to the ship to investigate and film the damage. A Portuguese Dutch photographer, Fernando Pereira, who had returned below decks to fetch his camera equipment, drowned in the rapid flooding that followed the second blast. The other ten crew members were safely evacuated on the order of Captain Peter Willcox, or were thrown into the water by the second explosion.&#13;&lt;BR&gt;
&#13;&lt;BR&gt;
France, being an ally of New Zealand, initially denied involvement and joined in condemnation of a terrorist act.&#13;&lt;BR&gt;
&#13;&lt;BR&gt;
After the bombing, a murder inquiry was started by the New Zealand Police. Most of the agents escaped New Zealand but two, Captain Dominique Prieur and Commander Alain Mafart - posing as married couple 'Sophie and Alain Turenge' and having Swiss passports - were captured due to a Neighbourhood Watch group. Both pleaded guilty to manslaughter and were sentenced to 10 years imprisonment on November 22, 1985.&#13;&lt;BR&gt;
&#13;&lt;BR&gt;
France threatened an economic embargo of New Zealand's exports to the European Economic Community if the pair were not released. Such an action would have crippled the New Zealand economy, which was dependent on agricultural exports to Britain.&#13;&lt;BR&gt;
&#13;&lt;BR&gt;
In the wake of the bombing, a flotilla of private New Zealand yachts sailed to Muroroa to protest against the French test.&#13;&lt;BR&gt;
&#13;&lt;BR&gt;
In June 1986, in a political deal with Prime Minister of New Zealand David Lange and presided over by United Nations Secretary-General Javier Pérez de Cuéllar, France agreed to pay NZ$13 million (USD$6.5 million) to New Zealand and apologise, in return for which Alain Mafart and Dominique Prieur would be detained at the French military base on Hao atoll for three years. However, the two agents had both returned to France by May 1988, after less than two years on the atoll. &#13;&lt;BR&gt;
&#13;&lt;BR&gt;
Three other agents, Chief Petty Officer Roland Verge, Petty Officer Bartelo and Petty Officer Gérard Andries, who sailed to New Zealand on the yacht Ouvéa, were captured by Australian police on Norfolk Island, but released as Australian law did not allow them to be held until the results of forensic tests came back. Expecting the tests would show they had transported the bombs to New Zealand, the crew was picked up by the French submarine Rubis, which sank the Ouvéa. They were never punished.&#13;&lt;BR&gt;
&#13;&lt;BR&gt;
An indirect consequence was to help transform New Zealand's &quot;nuclear free&quot; policy from a minority position to a national icon that even American pressure was unable to alter. The ANZUS treaty was condemned by association, and public opinion polls showed a change to oppose rejoining an alliance with the United States of America. This strengthened New Zealand's resolution to oppose military application of nuclear technology. The failure of its Western allies, such as the United States and the United Kingdom, to condemn what could be considered an act of war on New Zealand by France caused a change in foreign and defence policy.[3] New Zealand distanced itself from its traditional ally, the United States, and built relationships with small South Pacific nations, while retaining excellent relations with Australia, and to a lesser extent, the United Kingdom.&lt;/BLOCKQUOTE&gt;</description>

      <description>No, nothing like that. I didn't get dragged to HR or anything. I think it ought to break down like this (for all forums everywhere, not just this one):&#13;&lt;BR&gt;
&#13;&lt;BR&gt;
- For an individual post, the contributor ought to label it &quot;NSFW&quot; to help out the SysOp&#13;&lt;BR&gt;
- If an entire thread has obviously descended into that area, the SysOp ought to place it somewhere, to help out the userbase&#13;&lt;BR&gt;
&#13;&lt;BR&gt;
I doubt anyone is going to flip out and scream, &quot;nooo!&quot; but I just wanted to make certain.&#13;&lt;BR&gt;

The final fallback defense for weeaboos. It's like how Metal Gear Solid fans respond to any (correct) criticism by saying that you shouldn't take a game about bee based super soldiers seriously, but deep down they honestly think it's the most meaningful story ever told, crying right along with every crying scene in the entire crybaby series.</description>
