I cannot imagine how that screening process, especially in a case with this much cultural presence, doesn't predispose the jury toward a guilty verdict. And that's a hell of a problem.

They (the folks that pass the screening in question) are statistically more likely to convict, to the best of my knowledge, yes. Insofar as the numbers go, the juries in question do appear to be predisposed towards a guilty verdict. Now, whether that's due to the people involved or the cases involved is a different question, but...

There are, but "foremost" and "most" are two different words. While oreimo isn't the most otaku-bait fetish series in the world (not by a ruddy long shot), it's definitely one of the best known and best representative thereof. One of the foremost of its kind, yeh.

... completely unrelated to the posts immediately above, I have constructed banana milkshakes, fortified with vanilla wafers and whipped cream. It is delicious ;_;

this is basically drinkable banana pudding where have you been all my life _{i mean besides the local grocery storeget in my belly ;_;}

Insofar as major party policy and voting patterns go, yeah. I think the actual people on the ground have a bit more give, as things go, but the difference between our politicians is... well, it's notable. Very notable, in many arenas. But our major "liberal" politicians are what you'd usually consider centrist at most in countries with an actual left-wing worth note, and you still often have significant portions of the ostensibly left politicians voting conservatively, even if their stated policy or rhetoric would suggest they'd be doing otherwise. It can be hard to tell a conservative from a liberal on many subjects, sometimes. They just come off as being more or less extreme versions of the same sort of critter.

Mm. There's a 3.1 on sourceforge that I noticed, from what appeared to be about a year earlier. Looks like 3.2.1 on git, too, and I'd be incredibly surprised if github of all things was flagged as malicious...

Dunno about official, but looking at the first website that popped up regarding it says the latest update was 3.2.1 back in february '14.

Argument actually seems to be that since some moderately affluent foreign nations that are closer to the source nation are shitting on refugees, so should the EU. "I think we should act no better than the worst actor involved" is a helluva' humanitarian position.

... I like the way you think, EB. When all else fails, poison it until it complies. Words to live by.
