if we imposed that type of phone system on them, we'd have a revolt of the unwashed masses! remember, we need to keep the rabble in line, and confusing them with their own phones will not foster good feelings or submission.
can you honestly expect someone working for a newspaper to tell you the truth or at least have sme measure of objectivity? it's the journalist's job to make generalizations into a good story, or at least one that makes someone say, "O gracious, George, look at those immoral / violent / repulsive / shameful (etc) people!"
Don't get me wrong, i have the highest respect for journalists, when the refrain from writing.
I'm tired of seeing american films that portray women as either fragile or domineering, manipulative bitches! I think all american film should be outlawed!

robotech isn't a real series. it's 4 japanese series cobbled together by clumsy american animators. the Macross series was one of the ones put into the blender to create robotech.
eventually macross was released on it's own, but robotech is the crappiest piece of garbage i've ever seen. From rick hunter to lisa hayes to minmei, i detest them all. (but Macross is pretty good)

culture is defined in a million ways by sociologists, but we let's pretend that it is socially transmitted information, maintained over generations. this information can be anything, from taste in food (because we only eat when we're given when we're young, and that shapes our eating patterns for life), to our religious beliefs.
how does this relate to video games?
gaming is its own subculture. the 'up up down down left right . . . ' cheat code is almost like an in-group identifier. from one generation of gamers to the next, knowledge is transmitted, via newgroups, magazines, .
gamers transmit knowledge among themselves, they have in-group identifiers, they even have cultural memes.
maybe hard core gaming fanatics don't have a direct affect on mainstream culture, but their indirect effects are more than hypothetical.

I can't watch Kenshin dubbed. The dubbing makes him look like such a baka! I feel embarrassed for him.
The theme of the ainme itself is a good indicator for whether to watch sub or dub. No american actor can really grasp the themes in Rurouni Kenshin, it's a very Japanese series. There is so much bound up in it about historical Japanese culture, and the characters behave in ways that sometimes seem really strange to the Western mind. the dubbing actors really blew it. the voices are all wrong, the words were actually changed in some places, robbing the series of some of its nobility.
(You're right about Trigun, the dub is better.)
I don't think Akira is that central. I'd recommend watching more Studio Ghibli and Gainax work. The central works would be the work of Leiji Matsumomo (Captain Harlock, Queen Emeraldas, Galaxy Express 9999) and Osamu Tezuka (astroboy and BlackJack) beats much of the crap coming out now.
(What was La Blue Girl anyway? Was there a plot in there anyway? The amount of hentai and ecchi has skyrocketed. blech. boring uninspiring crap. urutsokidoji? run that one by me again, was there a plot in that either?)
more contemporary requirements would be Rurouni Kenshin, Shin Seki Evangelion, Trigun, Laputa: Castle in the Sky, Nausicaa, Valley of the Wind and of course, MD Geist (just because it's violent and has a decent plot).

I agree completely. As a former psychology student, I can attest to the inanity of the psychology witch doctors' mumbo-jumbo.
Psychologists are interested in taking your money, not making you better. Mental health is definately an industry, one that invents illness to line their pockets.
Dude, a Foozeball machine and a pool table at work are all people really want! If those things are not satifying your employees, try chaining them to the wall and providing free twinkies.
