Hentai comes up a lot in my conversations, but to my friends, it's not hentai, it's cartoon porn. I wonder if this is where I kick their a$$. :evil:

No need to kick anyone's... well you know.

Really you'd be surprised at how many people change after you start arguing with them. It may take a few years, but it sinks in and though they may not link you with their change of thought per se (is that how it is?), they're whole idea of something could change.

In the end good ideas stick (at least in people's minds), they may not become a technical or physical reality for a time, but that's due to other human failures (the mind, and I guess you could say the heart, are pretty reliable all around).

Sometimes unfortunately group mentality, the uber mind, screws things up, and the only thing you can do about it is to be careful that it doesn't happen to you.


Sorry, I hope this was clear in an philosophical and actual sense, but these are hard to combine.

:D Have hope though.

True, things like this take time, but it doesn't mean while we're trying to make a difference, we have to accept the abuse. I would love to debate with them, but their common response is "Cartoon porn", and this leaves me frustrated. They obviously don't feel the same about having a good debate, and would rather do anything, so they'd rather give their position on the topic and walk away. These days, I seem to be losing my patience with a lot of this stuff, and even just regualr stuff. But amazingly, I still have much more patience than anyone I know. Anyways, knowing my friends, they would rather fight me, than debate with me (even though they know I can woop them, which is surprising :shock: ).

You're right Anime Jedi, most people would rather fight, than have a discussion where everyone leave a little more knowledgeable (or a lot in some cases).

I don't have too many suggestions against such a thing, but it shouldn't be surprising given that it is reflected in our politics, in our schools, and in our daily activities. Americans often want the quick easy answer, or at least the answer that's been given by people who are considered "gods" by academics or popular demand. Sometimes we need this, we shouldn't have to wait in a Restaurant for hours debating with the waiter or chef about the state of our food or what we want, why it's called what we want, etc. (this would be impractical). However, the problem arises when people decide that every answer should be quick and easy, and they don't care enough to explore the whole issue (often despite the fact that they brought the issue forth). To some extent we all suffer from a lack of patience in this respect from time to time (though many are a lot better than others-- notably these people get better and better with time, while others in the impatient category often get worse)<-- Of course it isn't as black and white as my words make it to be, there is certainly a lot of grey.

One solution to this (and their are many, be creative) is to never give your opinion around these people, and if they ask what is wrong then tell them you feel that your opinions would not only be repressed, but worse they wouldn't even be considered-- just don't become a snob doing this. :)

Ignorance and apathy (silence too) do lead to evil, because they allow it. Watch yourself though, because knowledge and fanatacism lead to evil because they create it (with the help of deception).

Say, but if you don't agree with this that's fine it is a general statement and it relies on the semantics of the words, I just feel that the gist of it is true and it may get you to think about your actions and statements more carefully (just don't go scrutinizing everyone of my posts based on this statement :wink: )

Anyways, don't be too uptight about those people, often you can just ignore them or enjoy them as a cynic or as if they were a natural phenomenon like the wind (know that's an idea :idea: )

Just don't do what I do when people are wrong, which is tell them the truth flat out. Then if they don't change their opinion to what is TRUE, (anime is not porn in this case.) Insult them and taunt them relentlesly until they change their mind, while it may be fun, it pisses people off, and can have a negative effect on you social standing.
So in other words, one part of the community is waging war on another part of the community because they take their community seriously enough to want to do so. Then they tell the powerless side to get over the loss cause it's just an online community. I'm glad people make so much sense." -- Tab

That's some very wise advice. It could even result in the end of any relationship between anime fans and non-anime fans. :shock:

Go Blockbuster) and it was right next to the adult videos (which had a lot of porn-ish stuff in it, judging by the titles.) and some people were looking at me funny like "Eww, that little girl is going to watch some cartoon porn. That's sick!" I was all pissed off, but didn't say anything in fear of getting banned from Blockbuster.




I work at blockbuster and we don't carry Porn.

Oh what? Blockbuster totally has porn. It has a weak R rated, more of a softcorish vibe but it has movies with 0 plot and a bunch on naked girls running around just being naked......its alright, maybe not all out porn......its Blockbuster porn!!!

haha. i just thought of the bare wench project all of a sudden. *shudder* anyways i had no idea that blockbuster even HAD a porn section. at the blockbusters here they just put the bad softcore porn, on the very top of the shelves. some might think it's unfair to the vertically challenged who do wish to see "the bare wench project". i personally think it's a good thing that they can't reach...

Back at work we call the this section DRAMA. Basicly it has a cover with a lady in her underware holding a gun. At my store their are about 17 of them.

Personally it is not a porn unless you can see the lips between the leg.
