Hope you don't mind! =)<br /><br />Something about Rebecca rubs me the wrong way. Perhaps because she was invited into Heather's house and immediately started attacking her friend's fiancee. That's just plain rude, imo. I mean, I understand that she's worried about Heather and wants to discuss the relationship, but the way she handled it really irks me. I loved (!) Heather's response to her criticism though...<br /><br />"You've changed."<br /><br />"Since I was seventeen? Yes, I suppose I have..."<br /><br />That line was awesome, and just the right thing to say. Go Heather! =) (Also, my dislike for Rebecca has nothing to do with the fact that I desperately want Coby and Ti to end up together, and I'm worried that she is going to get in the way... No, nothing at all. ;D)Buckleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15791098360536318915noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8770893502652214806.post-59812414223121172952012-04-17T18:03:22.821-07:002012-04-17T18:03:22.821-07:00Well said.

Wars do a lot more than trap people in hotels, people die in them by the thousands. When the war is unnecessary, it's the duty of citizens who are against it to protest it. I am sad that the protesting did not stop the war, but I'll never be sorry about engaging in protest.yangthecathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15083940950118677312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8770893502652214806.post-40441156553053180272012-04-17T04:04:59.483-07:002012-04-17T04:04:59.483-07:00*shrug* I don't think anybody can say "al...*shrug* I don't think anybody can say "all cops are great" or "all cops are terrible" with a straight face. Police are a necessary part of our society, because vigilante justice works out badly. Police have rules. Even if they're not always followed, at least they're there.<br /><br />There are cops who use unnecessary force who aren't on the news, either. People die every day and the media picks the one it thinks will sell to focus on.<br /><br />Sports protesting is stupid and I'd say those people deserve to be beaten within an inch of their life, but war protesting is... well... you should be sad it didn't stop anything.

The way I see it if a good cop catches a thief or saves someone from being killed they won't make the news, but the cop who uses unnecessary force will be all over the news in hours. Then again I've never been a supporter of protests after my family got trapped in our hotel during the anti Iraqi war protests in LA back in... I have no idea. The early 2000's. Before my youngest sister was born. Even here in Vancouver during the playoff riot last year the officers used force, yes, but the rioters were destroying stores and lighting cars on fire. If you were "just watching" you should have gotten the fuck out of there a long time ago. Their jobs are dangerous and I can understand how the stress gets to them. <br /><br />Dammit Melissa.

I don't mean in anyway to cover over that with my portrayal of this one cop. But at the same time, my own experiences with LAPD as individuals has always been mostly positive. They've always been polite and professional when I've had to deal with them.yangthecathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15083940950118677312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8770893502652214806.post-56922650776064536042012-04-16T18:03:01.113-07:002012-04-16T18:03:01.113-07:00I personally don't have any trouble imagining ...I personally don't have any trouble imagining why she'd dislike cops. <br /><br />As much as I want to think of them as good people who are protecting me, most of the cops I meet are egotistical nutjobs. They're literally trained to be that way, because the job puts pressure on them to be able to handle anything. They have to have a mentality that reads: "not only can I take you... I can take ALL of you."<br /><br />Otherwise, they'd lose control of the situation.<br /><br />And there's constant media stories where a cop uses deadly force when they did not have to. Each one just as tragic as the last.<br /><br />Once I had to speak to a policeman on the phone (long story), and, unprovoked, he launched into a tirade about how he was not afraid to shoot and kill. It was creepy.Beckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17609229633852230459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8770893502652214806.post-88788515283227110782012-04-16T16:31:57.367-07:002012-04-16T16:31:57.367-07:00All right, I'll definitely have to work on exp...All right, I'll definitely have to work on explaining where the anti-cop sentiment comes from as I write Rebecca more.<br /><br />And poor Coby, he does have a lot of baggage to sort through. And we don't even know yet what kind of baggage Rebecca is carrying around with her.

Hopefully she'll figure out Ulises is a stand up guy. <br /><br />Also, may I just say I think Coby grew up a bit in this episode? Just a tiny bit. Enough to realize that maybe jumping into this with loads of unsorted baggage is a bad idea. Good call!<br /><br />PS, I LOVE the lighting effects in the last few shots.

I come from a similar activist background as Rebecca, where anti-cop sentiment is actually very common and very strong. I tend to forget that the whole world doesn't have this prejudice against police. And it's a big part of why I wrote the Ulises character the way I did. I don't like having prejudices, so I thought to work on this one I had by writing this cop character who doesn't fit into that stereotype that LAPD officers especially have to contend with, and try to see things from his point of view.<br />I never felt much reason to explain Rebecca, as to me, she's like everyone I know, lol. But I'm thinking maybe she does need more explanation.yangthecathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15083940950118677312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8770893502652214806.post-23094889372524317312012-04-16T15:48:24.509-07:002012-04-16T15:48:24.509-07:00When I started this whole thing in Sims 1, I actua...When I started this whole thing in Sims 1, I actually meant for Gavin and Stina to be OTP, and to have continue breaking up with him and coming back to him. But Coby and Stina actually built up this relationship on their own. Whenever I played their lot (A house I divided up into units and pretended was an apartment), I'd always find them together. Without any prodding from me they got their rel scores up to 100/100. I just had to make them kiss, and go from there. The Sims 3 versions behaved the same way.<br />So, I get what you are saying, I ship Coby and Stina to the end of time as well. Despite the hurdles that get in their way.yangthecathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15083940950118677312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8770893502652214806.post-90601280195033769692012-04-16T15:39:08.873-07:002012-04-16T15:39:08.873-07:00I'm not making any such judgements on Rebecca....I'm not making any such judgements on Rebecca.
