@itstime2dddduel@VitoComedy@AlbertonFreeman Any questions on the matter? Or do you think paying billions of dollars per year to reduce an already plummeting birth rate is a good idea?
A country that has more elderly, than working citizens finds itself unable to afford pensions, social security, and more.
@itstime2dddduel@VitoComedy@AlbertonFreeman Studying Florida, one year they had some 90,000 abortions. 300 of which were Nebulous. (Meaning 300 abortions were justified by most moral standards). The remaining 89,700 were voluntary.
This means that abortion has quickly turned into an expensive bad habit.
@itstime2dddduel@VitoComedy@AlbertonFreeman There were an estimate 1,126,000 abortions last year alone. Pretending that every abortion was for the lowest price possible, that's $563,000,000 Million dollars spent on being irresponsible.
Unlike childcare, adoption, or healthcare, abortions do not provide social benefit.
@itstime2dddduel@VitoComedy@AlbertonFreeman So if you are worried about the cost of childcare, adoption and other services? Don't be. The US is already 25% below what it should be on its natural birth rate. (Just to remain neutral btw)
Meaning 25% less children will be in healthcare, schools, etc than there should be.
@itstime2dddduel@VitoComedy@AlbertonFreeman Unfortunately for your argument, the US like most develloped countries saw its replacement rate decline when it got wealthier.
The repopulation rate (currently) is 1.6. It should be 2.1
The "families struggling with too many kids" are typically immigrants.
@revenant_MMXX@Plasma_Legion Perhaps. But different manufactures created the gundams, while OZ built Tallgeese.
Sazabi and Nu Gundam were both created by Anaheim, from similar materials, and similar technology.
@VitoComedy@AlbertonFreeman And yet, there are plenty of people who have a problem with slaughtering animals, even though we do so for the basic necessity of food.
Abortion is bad. Contraception can be as cheap as $10. Yet the United States spends $130 Billion a year for abortions.
Waste of Money.
@OrehCursor@StormOneActual Its really not that complicated if you use your brain for 3 moments.
You, yourself commented 3 hours ago that a touch of color to the new gundam was a huge improvement.
What colors did they use? Oh yeah, the classic gundam colors.
@serpentOracle@FaGoat44@skramzbunny You probably have the minority opinion on this.
Unicorn is one of the higest selling gundam kits. There's over 100 variations of the Unicorn. (Its cause they are popular)
@OrehCursor@StormOneActual Not true. Sometimes, the colors are the only thing that makes it look like a gundam.
Turn A? Paint it grey and it suddenly doesn't look like a gundam anymore.
If you want something to look like a gundam, it needs something that connects it to previous designs.
@LSteamed@Jewo03@DeltyThe73rd You are confusing discussion with hate.
I don't hate the new design, its just not recognizeable as a gundam.
With the gray color scheme, and rounded body, it looks very similar to the Armored Core Nightfall.
@OrehCursor@StormOneActual if the game has customization, why not color the base gundam in the iconic colors?
Even the laziest edit ever, still makes it look SOMETHING like a gundam.
We already have games that lets you customize gundams. Gundam Break 4. You can still design things to look like a gundam
@buckthebigguy77 And what faction killed the most people directly?
Zeon killed over 7 billion people in colony drops alone. From operation British, to the Colony Char dropped in CCA.
No matter how corrupt the Feddy's are, they couldn't even match 1/7th of Zeon's kill count.
@OrehCursor@StormOneActual Turn A has the classic Gundam colors. Its the same as the first gundam.
Unicorn is quite literally the most gundam shaped gundam ever. The way the chest is designed, the skirt, even the v fins when its transformed.
It takes the design of Nu gundam and sharpens it.
@Plasma_Legion@revenant_MMXX The new gundam design is so different, nobody could distinguish it from an armored core. Even the weapons look similar.
So in order to warm people up to the entirely new design, connect it to older designs in some way. Its unusual V Fin isn't enough.
@Plasma_Legion@revenant_MMXX Except that everything from Wing Gundam to the Seed series follow a similar design aesthetic that makes something a gundam. Everything from how the feet are designed, to the chest and face plate and head and V Fin are 100% Gundam aesthetic.
