Ghost In The Shell 2: Innocence

timbloid writes "I spotted on Ain't it cool news that Mamoru Oshii's new anime Innocence Ghost In The Shell 2's website is now open! The trailer is beautiful! But I can't help thinking a translated version is some time off from the 2004 Japanese release... Maybe it would be faster for me to learn Japanese?"

Is this dangerous

[Jack Wagner]

I have to wonder what sort of negative influences todays youth get from these things.

In the olden days we had cartoons that taught us lessons, taught us right from wrong, using American standards and American morals. This was the mindset that drove the industrial revolution and pushed the USA to the top of the super power food chain.

The youth of today watches these Japanes cartoons and can only get confused by it all. The Japanese mindset is totally different from the USian mindset, which serves to water down the American youth and poisen them with bad values and habits. It's no wonder we are becoming a service industry while the JApanese and Chinese produce all the goods. Is it a coincidence that they have stolen our business in this manner? Hardly.

Lets look at some of the greatest Japanese companies at this point in time, Honda, Nikon, Qualcom, etc. How do you think they gained so much market share in such little time? Because we gave it to them because our youth has no drive or motivation to innovate. They simply think they can rest on the laurels of the great men who went before them, the Henry Fords and Rockifelers, etc.

I think we should outlaw all this crap and make kids go back to watching quality cartoons before we're all forced to speak Japanese, if you know what I mean.
