That's not true at all and you know it. Plenty of straight girls kiss each other but its a lesbian action even if the girls themselves aren't gay.

That is the dumbest reasoning I've ever heard.

It's you who is wrong, and you know it.

Putting things in boxes is fine, I guess, but you need to relabel yours.

I'm starting to question whether or not this guy is even real. Did someone put a spell on me or something? Am I delusional? Nobody that exists could possibly be like this.

Don't some women go on about having a "lesbian experience" in college but don't associate themselves with being lesbian? Maybe that's what he meant. I actually have a friend like this and she's married and everything now.

Well, then there's that theory that all chicks are "a little bit" swishy. Y'know, since they're more apt to get all touchy-feely and be naked around each other than guys are.

I don't know how much it's been researched, and I don't know if it's true or not, I just hope so.

Whatever he means, it still doesn't apply to this show.

So I watched the episode with the giant drill, I'm kinda confused here. Why is Jet so angry that Zuko/Uncle are fire-benders? I know he hates all fire benders, but its not like they personally did anything to him.

Also, what is with the two girls with Azula? We know Azula is mentally unstable and/or pure evil, but the other two girls don't seem to be that way. Especially the circus girl, her face is so cutesy like she'd invite you over for a tea party instead of being some ruthless killer. I don't understand why they'd make her design like that if she was a villain.

I also wish Aang killed those sand people who stole his flying bison beast. Why Katara had to stop him instead of him killing them all is beyond me.

1) Firebenders aren't exactly allowed in the city or anywhere..cause they are the enemy.....and Jet doesn't want anyone to be harmed or fooled by them because of his painful past. He's got a prejudice against them.

2) Ty Lee was kinda scared into being Azula's minion. I thought that was clear when she put her in danger during her act at the circus. Azula gets what she wants at any cost and Ty Lee knows that.

3) Aang doesn't like fighting...he never did....he is completely against killing, he's even a vegetarian. Aang might have crossed the line and live to regret it. Katara doesn't want Aang do do something he will hate himself for later.

do you seriously want to see Aang kill someone because they stole Appa? Appa is alive...he's just lost.

Aang having a temper is what sets him apart from other generic heroes. Letting him kill someone would be nice development. I don't know if this does happen later in the show so don't spoil me if its the case.

Personally, whenever anyone tells me I "need more character development" my first reaction is always to start killing people until the situation corrects itself.

I'm not entirely sure at exactly what number of victims a person can rightfully claim to have a "well-rounded character", but my working theory is 37. Seems like the kind of thing that would require an odd integer.

I feel killing can help with character development, but it really depends on how it's done. Like I feel it shows a lot if a character (that's supposedly a good guy) kills and they maybe show how said character reacts to it. Did the character regret having to make such a choice? Did the character revel in it? Did the character have no reaction at all? Stuff like that.

So yeah, it depends on how it is done. Killing for the sake of having the character kill I think is badly done.

37? What are you? Cardboard? I think around 55 or 58 is correct.

I apologize for not having a longer kill sheet. Clearly I need more character development. Luckily, I live right by a plethora of senior housing complexes and quite a few of those cats are on the way out anyways.

If I really hustle, I could be worthy of my own spin-off show by breakfast.

Him not killing and Katara going out of her way to make sure he doesn't do it is also character development.

And yes, Aang eventually kills someone. Spoilers and lol!
