There was only one civilian onboard the Challenger. The Challenger deaths were the first deaths in a NASA launch; the three who died on Apollo 1 were on the launch pad, doing testing.
DBZ is kiddy shounen; anime for boys in the 6-12 demographic. That's what it's made for, that's how it's marketed, and the fact that so many American teens and genxers like it baffles me.
South Park is satire. Period. If you're missing the fact that it's a parody of bigotry, Pokemon, stereotypical Midwesterners and the like, you probably didn't pay much attention.
Why is this series so popular? I've been completely unable to enjoy one second of any of the episodes I've watched. I mean, formulaic plot, uninteresting characters, breathless superlatives... and yet people love it. Could someone who does try to explain?
Not only do the US dubs edit to increase what amounts to the "car chase per minute" ratio, they delete all "adult" material, including, but not limited to nudity, swearing, "graphic" (as opposed to what? "Textual?") violence, sexual references, and the like. Some scenes are removed in order to fit an episode or movie into a given time slot.
The Cartoon Network is notorious for such censorship, and may in fact be responsible for the prevelant American view of anime as a "kiddy genre" as opposed to a style of filmmaking. They are virtually the only network which shows anime in America, and by showing only child- and teen-oriented anime, and hacking it into material "appropriate" for the six-year-old demographic, they create a biased impression.
My question is simple: why would anyone pay for a drug that relieves hiccups? It just doesn't seem commercially viable. And we all know what that means.

Lowtax's article on the subject suggests a possible solution: more targeting.
Akira ä/kE/ru (n.) From Japanese, very confusing.
One example...
Wouldn't \/3j174 0\/\/|\|z j00 be more accurate terminologically (if not factually)?
Actually, the issue most Americans who take issue with such things are upset about in Ranma 1/2 is the whole sex-change deal.

Why do most Americans believe in a God? What evidence is there to back this up? Why make your view of the universe unnecessarily complicated?

What qualifies as an "early exposure?"
