I don't mind the art.
But I consider it a genre in it's own.
You get certain types of furry art which aren't always appealing to me.
Sometimes they can seem poorly done, or overly-complex/uncanny.
I sort of like them drawn cartoony, but slightly more serious. Not necesarilly bugs-bunny style.

A couple furry webcomics that I enjoy are TwoKinds and Jay Naylor's Original Life.

Just a warning so I don't get reported, Jay Naylor does draw furry ponography too and sells them upon their website.
It is in a section which has it's own notice on it if you choose to select it.
The latest material has a quick-front-page image shown on the right of the website, but if there is any nudity on that front-page, it is censored, but you might be able to make out what it's trying to show.
So, if you definitely don't want to see anything related to furry research, don't click the link, and if you don't mind having the image there, atleast know you won't find yourself viewing it unexpectedly.

And if you click upon the TwoKinds link, the current image as of this post shows a censored if possibly slightly lude picture. It's safe for work, but shows a "definite female outline". It's there as part of a long-thought out story though, so, it's not just a random drawing.
The actual comic is quite nice in my opinion and worth a read, if you can put up with watching the artist progress. They're hardly the best to begin with but do produce some good work later on.

Why do we not count the indian countries as asian?

I've always heard of them as being considered asian.
India is in asia.
It's certainly not in Europe, that would be way too east to consider part of europe and it's most definitely not on the African continent nor is it Middle Eastern.

I'm pretty certain that Indians, as well as Bangladeshis, Nepalese and Pakistani's consider themselves asian.
You're just not thinking of them as asian likely due to a typical modern western view.
Indians might not be light of skin or have squinted eyes, but that doesn't mean they're not asian.
Not all asians look like Chinese/Korean/Japanese.

I like to consider the names of the areas to progress from Europe to Asia as you move east across the globe from Britain.
Starting from Britain to Russia (Stoping short horizontally at Kazakhstan) you have Europe.
From there, you get Eurasia, which includes for me, Turkey and Azerbaijan and really leads on to the Middle East.
Which is of course the joining site of Africa and Eurasia as landmasses.
Once you've completed that section you enter Asia through-and-through and are in the orient until you travel through India, China, onto Japan and all the way across it and hit the Pacific.

Off Topic / Re: I got soap in my eye and eyedrops made it worse D:

I always see something about going to the doctor in this case.

There is nothing the loving doctor is going to do. Even if he or she could do something, mp's parents would have to pay a bill just to go to get his eye checked out. There is an easy solution to getting the soap out of his eye.

Oh yeah, you guys don't have free healthcare. How silly. I don't know why you would use eyedrops to get out soap. Every single soap and shampoo and conditioner bottle I have ever seen has the simple advice to immediately wash the eye out with running warm water. And what sort of soap were you using. If I get soap in my eyes in the shower I just keep my eyes closed for a bit, try to wash it out with water, give it a little rub and carry on. It only stings a little bit.

Please, Turkey?
I just don't understand how that manages to get placed within Europe.
It's Asia Minor for goodness sake.
It's almost as bad as when we consider Israel as part of Europe in the Eurovision song contest.

Also, Europeans don't respect the British as much as you think.

And we don't really respect them.
It's a bad thing to say though, really.
All neighbouring countries have dislikes of each other.
It allows the individual countries to feel national pride against a common enemy, the next-door neighbour, even if they do happen to be one of your strongest and closest allies, such as France and Britain.

If you want to not have Europeans make fun of you learn French, Italian, or both. Then you have the excuse of speaking english as a second language.

This is good advice if you're in the latin-based areas of western europe.
If you happen to know almost any of the languages, including French, English, Spanish or Italian you're quite well off with being able to understand most basic phrases between each of those countries.
But if you're in France or Spain or Germany, as examples, you'll get by perfectly fine with just English.
If anything, I dare say that Britain is the least accomodating to other European languages.

If I were to go to France and speak in English to people in a town, I'd likely be near-perfectly understood by a fair few people, or at the very least a couple of people who know the basics of what I speak and can translate.
If a french person were to come to England and speack French to people in a town, they'd have some difficulty finding someone who could translate for them out of the general public.

But in Sweden, you're well off with just English as you are in most Western European places.
And considering the fact that all of Mojang (as far as I'm aware) speaks English aswell as Swedish, then you'd do fine working with them.
And if you were to find yourself in sweden and surviving on your English, it would be possible for you to pick-up Swedish as a secondary language by learning it out there.
And in Europe, it alongside most of the Scandinavian languages are probably considered some of the most "exotic" european languages, or atleast one of the most interesting/unusual to those who are only accustomed to the more latin-languages.
As a question, is the placement you're trying for based in Sweden or is it one where you can work from home, as they do have foreign members.
Both of the people who work for Mojang on the phone and Xbox versions live outside of Sweden. One of them lives in Britain, but I'm not sure which one.

If you were to get a job with them and then just stay where you are, it'd make this discussion of languages and things raaather pointless.

As said above, I wouldn't really see too much of a problem with your cousin using it too, but you won't or atleast shouldn't play on the same server as him at the same time on the same account.
You'll get authentication errors.

Key-sharing within the household is perfectly acceptable.
Just don't let your key get shared to other people, particularly people who aren't friends or necesarilly trustworthy.
If the key gets shared between a large amount of people at different IP's and is switched constantly, as in lots of them using it around the same time, it'll get de-activated.

Hmm. An add on that generates errors isn't an issue. Well, an error is an error. No matter how one looks at it. And 1 error usually, but not always, causes other errors.
If it was my add on that was generating errors, I'd like to know about it so I could address it.
I'm just providing feedback.

If it's an Add-On that's generating errors then there is little we can do about it.
Either remove it from your Add-Ons folder or ask the creator of the add-on about the error and if he has a way to fix it, and if you haven't already, try redownloading the add-on.

Also, note for the future, these types of topics should be posted in the Help section.

The pictures you have up so far don't look too bad.
You might want to get another judge than just yourself.
It's a little unfair. Not to say that you would, but it would be rather easy for someone to offend you and you decide that all their attempts are rubbish, even if they're not, just because you alone don't like that person.

You might want to make the images a little bit smaller, they page-stretch for me.


I am also curious to know what States are in the United States of Blockland.

He will tell us how the university discovered it to be an exceedingly radioactive piece of material and his entire neighbourhood had to be evacuated.
He also likely has cancer in the hands and brain.

But atleast it made a pretty cool dagger. All the scientists agreed.
