And you get on my posts and fill them with unrelated crap. Perhaps you just quit posting on my threads, then we would both be happier.

I think not...the news for Thursday on something awful's front page proves that.

I used to like it, the original series was better but I would think it would be even more censored than Z. An interesting conversation between a friend of mine in 1998 made me think. I said Dr. Slump, if shown in it's original sexual and potty humor context would be given a mature rating here since people classify sex in that catagory even if it's silly. He said that seems backwards, Dr. Slump's and DB crude humor seems immature in it's comedy. I would have to agree :p

In other words, Americans have an odd way of determining ratings based on content and not context.

For the record, I'm still a fan.... granted, I only started watching it (subbed) this past summer...

Would be more censored? CN's been airing Dragon Ball for probably two years now. I saw a bit of it a loooong time ago, as well. Back around 3rd grade.

Heh. My sister says the exact same thing about immaturity level.

Oh my, Misty - that was some of the most hilarious shit I've ever read. Right up with the guy who gave me a Scientology newspaper today.
I'm out...

^^ Yeah, I don't know if it was more funny or pathetic.

If DB forums are the measuring stick of the future citizens of America, well...then it's time to get the heck outta Dodge.

thats kind of true for me. DB and DBZ hold nostalgic value for me, but the english dubs that are available on tv are just terrible. I mean it gives anime in general a bad name. Because of it a lot of people think anime is entirely for kids, and full of stupid characters that all look the same.
