There is simply no way to prove evolution. Period. In order to have proof we need to have historical documentation or evidence of species changing over millenia. Since evolution is on a grander time scale than the existence of mankind, there is no way for us to know exactly what happened. However, there is no way to prove creationism. The Creationists say that the Bible is proof, yet the Bible was written by man millenia after any of it happened. No proof for either side.
All that we have is an unsurmountable amount of evidence on the side of evolution, and no evidence (just dogma) on the side of creationism. Why can't creationists simply adopt evolution into their belief system? Evolution does not say that God does not exist. Darwin was an avid Christian. For all we know, God may have planned evolution as a way off creating man. We weren't made until the 5th or 6th day, ya know.(according to the dogma that is the Bible).
It's very easy to work evolution into christianity, it is not easy to work creationism into science- and that should tell us something right off the bat.
I believe that the KKK are allowed to have racist rallies still. Is this declaration supposed to stop that? Because they sure as hell haven't done anything about it. I think that if you re-read this declaration when you get off the crack, you will see that inciting a race-related riot is different from stating opinions.
btw, who goes to the UN for rulings about this? The UN is an inter-nationaling ruling body, meant for crimes against countries, not for a little girl in America. Now, had a fascist dictator in some third world country gotten up and spewed out some crap about Mexicans or Czechs, then the UN should be all over it. Who would take the time to look up declarations on race relations in the UN for something as trivial as this, anyway? i mean really, people!

Never trust cute things. I mean hell, look at an imac.
you misunderstand a bit. I did not mean that merely because the masses enjoy anime, that nerds would shun it. My meaning is that all things have their movements, and those in the underground notice them first, and then move on. Nothing more. I still and will for a long time enjoy anime, and could care less if anyone else does, but the mainstream attaches to things the the underground has passed up or has been into for a long time.
'On "Dragon Ball Z,"...Cell, an evil emperor, is approached by a cowering television news correspondent. He knocks the correspondent onto his back and then kicks him so hard that the man flies across a field head first into rocks, presumably dead.'-aforementioned article
First of all, he obviously watched clips of various anime shows brought to his attention. Cell is as much an emperor as I can fly and shoot Kamehameha waves. Also, if he had watched the entire episode(or more to really give it a fair chance) he would have realized that the reporter does not die, and is a little dazed. Jesus, people! When did reporting stop being about research and start simply preying on the fears of parents?
Secondly, Mr. Rutenburg(writer of the article) and the rest of the media does not realize the difference between child anime and teen/adult anime. He talks of Digimon, and Pokemon(bleh!) while comparing them to the likes of Ghost In The Shell and Akira! Shame on him for tainting the minds of unwitting parents who now believe that anime=evil. Shame on the media for targeting the more violent shows towards the children. I guess that since it's a cartoon, it's meant to be watched by children! What about Heavy Metal, or those dirty porno animes? should children watch that as well? Jesus H. Christ in a handbasket, Houston!
The article claims that anime shows appearing in the U.S. or mirroring the video games that many japanese companies produce. Hello?????!!!!! Anime was around long before the Nintendo 8-bit and especially before anything that was really advanced enough to mirror anime! I think someone has this relationship backwards.
And who is this other guy to foretell the future of anime? The nerds were into it first! It's just like when the punk scene stopped liking Blink182 because all the 'cool' kids are into them now. The nerds are gonna stop liking anime long before those kids find out that we've moved onto something much better and 'cooler'.
I agree, Transformers today suck. I mean, really, have you watched the show? It's horrible. I've got nearly all the episodes of the original series on tape and i would love to have that set.
