All the girls get out of the pool.
Sakaki
particular but then anime in general.
He basically said in general terms that anime is a fad that will pass.
But then went on to say specifically that anime was a boys phenomenon, and
when directly asked about girls he said that very few to almost no girls
were interested in anime, and then likened girl who like anime to boys who
liked my little pony.
Makes you wonder where he's been getting his info.

Seems he's pretty ignorant about anime in general. Goes to show how stupid
these idiots really are that work in the american entertainment industry.
Look at how many critics they have for movies alone, they all have dumb
reasons for liking or disliking things. TV Guide is a dumbass magazine
anyways, same goes for shows like Access Hollywood, or Entertainment
Tonight, they all have the same goal, promote everything, make pointless
interviews, and make as much cash doing it. Even disney, oh my god, how many
sequels to the animated classics have they made already???? Promotion, after
promotion after promotion.

Lets wait a few years until anime is popular as hell. Then his opinion
will take a u-turn and he'll be praising it like a freakin' otaku!

Just a bit off topic... wouldn't you hate it if anime was really popular?
Everyone would be like, "yeah, annimie is soo cool, dude, them
Chinese are great at doing stuff like Akira" and you'd say "First of all,
it's anime, secondly, it's Japanese, thirdly, Akira isn't _that_ good,"
and they'd say "Heh, yeah, you just like that Evangelion crap." And you'd
say "Look, i've liked anime for ten times longer than you, and you think
you can tell me what to like?" And they'd say "Yeah, whatever."
And it wouldn't be as fun.

Iraq didn't violate any ceasefire... George Bush claims it hasn't complied
with orders to cease weapon production, even though weapon inspectors
haven't found anything alarming. Bush is just looking for an excuse to
attack.

Absolutly. After all, if we had a non-OPEC petroleum source, the
upper-classes could drive those monster SUVs without worry. Hell, who'd care
about emmisions and fuel economy then (beside the
"Fringe" environmentalists)?

Well, so far, war concernes seem to be making things worse instead of
better. Seems every time Iraq becomes the main topic in the news, the market
goes south.

That dependes on what kinda loser the democrats pick. Some conspericy nuts
say the secret government picks the canadates so the know which party will
win. I'm begining to agree with them.

Historicly that is common for the short term. After the production lines
start cranking out batches of cruise missles at $10 million a pop things
tended to get better. Wait and see, maybe the core has rotted away too badly
to paint over it this time.

Well, the tech industry should staballize here eventually: after all, so
much of our way of life depends on electronics. I just hope they don't all

Ok so we have a pro-euro prime minister whose wife seems to make all his
major decisions, an opposition that can't find its arse with both hands and
satellite navigation , a justice system that seems to protect the criminal
rather than the victim, and a health system that every time they try and fix
it by throwing money at it seems to grow another dozen levels of management,
but I like it here, our economy is buoyant we've got ;low inflation and
unemployment .and we can fell superior to just about everyone else
And I have to say I disagree with most of the anti war faction, any
government that loses eight thousand gallons of anthrax, uses chemical and
biolgical weapons on its own people,and is ruled by an insane madman with a
seventies pornstar 'tash really should be removed

In other words, business as usual. Although I think we Yanks have the
"Superior to everyone else" mentality even more than you folks.

On that, I will agree. Still, I doubt Dubya is thinking along those terms;
more likely he's thinking, as stated earlier in this thread, that he can
make a name for himself in the history books, get re-elected in '04, and
avenge his father in one fell swoop.

True. I hate it when peple think they know more than you just because they
heard about it a little while ago. I think that's why people on the internet
and stuff came up with the term "newbie". New people are always welcome as long
as they show respect to the one's who came before them. It's called paying
respect to your elders, and new people that don't understand that deserve the
stigma that surrounds the word "newbie". I'd be all right if anime got popular,
just as long as everyone admits that all the otakus now were right in their
tastes, and everyone new is not arrogant enough to think that they know more
than us.
