  1. Re:Lobbying power? on US Citizens To Require ''Clearance'' To Leave? · · Score: 1
    Racism is more of a problem in America than people want to admit.

    Xenophobia is a significant problem in America.


    I have to disagree with these two. I'm not going to say it doesn't exist, but I doubt they are as bad as you are asserting they are. Given what America is, and has been over the past 200+ years of its life, I think it has done very well considering. We have assemilated more of the worlds people together in one place than any other country in the world.

    An example of bad would be Yugoslavia, wouldn't you think? That country, after communism fell apart in the early 90s, it tore itself to shreds over Xenophobia, and racism... With ethnic groups going around performing genocide on others all over the place. That place is more of an ethnic hell hole than America is by a long shot.

    So America has racist views? I'm assuming we're talking about stereotypical white/black/hispanic relations... Okay... I'm not saying they don't exist... but... Tell me about Europe and their Turkish immigrants. They are not getting together in perfect harmony last I checked either. Tell me about Russia, and their current feelings towards the Georgians, and vice versa.

    I have disagreements with other statements you have made, but those are the most glaring problems.

    Oops, you're right, I'm sorry. Oh well, everyone makes a few mistakes. ^^;

  3. The true tragedy here... on Gaming Companies Being Sued Over Columbine · · Score: 1

    The true tragedy here isn't the shooting any longer...

    It is about a bunch of parents who are looking for an early retirement through their greed. They are looking to make a quick buck by pointing fingers at anyone who walks by.

    The families of the Columbia Space Shuttle, when it exploded, didn't go around suing NASA, did they?

    No, they were able to pull themselves together, get over it, and work for a better tomorrow.

    That's maturity.

    The families of the Columbia even came together and created educational centers with the help of NASA to teach children about space exploration, and so forth.

    Why can't the families of the Columbine tragedy do the same? Well, already pointed that out... a quick buck, and they lack maturity.

  4. Re:Bebop Movie more than just rumors? on New Tenchi Muyo OVA Series Confirmed! · · Score: 1

    Yeah, it's more than just rumors. It's really going to happen.

    Way I've heard it. Yoko Kanno who did the music is returning to do the music score for the film as well
    The Bebop crew even have a webpage up (If you can read Japanese) located here. The title of the film will be "CowboyBebop: knockin on heaven's Door"
