  1. I'm pretty fond of Zeram. It's the Aria Live action movie. It's a toss up with that and Casshern, the Kashan:Robot Hunter Live action movie. Possibly Even the First Battle Royale movie. I guess none of those qualify as anime movies but they're Anime/manga-based.
  2. Nice combo Arizen. It reminds me of tie-die meets worn denim meets old parchment :p The only real problem I have with the sig is that it's the exact same pictureas your Icon, granted it's in widescreen :P That and It feels a little boxy.:( Maybe if it was longer It'd feel more like a border. I wish they'd let us break up this 500x100 into maybe a 400x100 and a 100x100 or something to go side by side. :( The blue in the text is somewhat isolated, and the text in the icon is definately easier to read. 7.75/10 overall.
  3. Bush alone? Half that information leading to WMD conclusions came from MI5.

    Cradle of Filth!

    When I graduated, I went to europe. I saw them in London. UNtill that day I'd always thought Dani Filth was the hot chick bathing in blood from the cover of their CD. Rude Awakening.

  6. Hmm... Maybe instead of worrying about how odd this is, you should instead be worying about how to kill the boar and properly dispose of the body???

    Rush

    As a drummer, I like to listen to Pert by himself. Rush as a hwole remind me of a cross of bands like Van Halen and Joe Satriani.
  8. I dunno.. I don't really have a favorite. That's kind of like asking me to pick my favorite kid(not that I have any) But for the most part I like Orange(because it's underused) and it reminds me of fall. I also like black, purple, blue, and olive or mint green.
  9. 9 times out of 10 it means the friend is intrested... Unless the friend of said girl who supposedably likes you really hates you, and then it could be a cruel joke. I guess it all boils down to how the "Pesterer" treats people. If she's genuinly good to her friends, then yeah, the party of the third part(also known as "the liker") probably has feelings for you, the "Likee"(or now known as the party fo the first part)
  10. So what happened to rating the sig above you? Lol. Anyway after watching this thread for a week I didnally decided to take 5 minutes out of my busy schecule to make a quick Naruto banner. :P ANywho... On to Random.... I sure do love me some sepia tone. and I like the little fade marks in it. The text though blends a bit, and looks like it had no anti aliasing. The distortion(grainyness) in the pic is nice but the text is plain, and white no variation. Also as a genral rule of art the foreground(text in this case) should not be any brighter or darker than the backgroud. :( The image combos nice with whoever that guy is in your icon(not that I'm rating the Icon but it looks like it says "Handom". All in all 7/10. You get a C. :P Now vicious and unrulyness be unleashed upon me.

Yeah Just human... a really unlucky one. [B]Strengths:[/B] He's a pretty average human, save for a pretty high pain tollerance, and a high imunity. He is however plagued with badluck, which is for the most part is the reason he has a high pain tollerance(due to NUMEROUS accidents, possibly severed nerves) and imunity (Untill the age of 13 he had a cold every 3 weeks) [B]Weaknesses:[/B] Well.. he is rather unlucky. [B]Powers:[/B] None known to him. He is however Pretty tough for a normal person.(No where near invulnerability) He has the ability to (atleast inspire sympathy if not) make up for lack of skill with good intent. [B]Personality: [/B]Mark can be a bit bipolar at times. Some times there are drastic moodswings torwards depression. They may be rare, but are severe. For the most part he's pretty outgoing and optimistic despite his unfortunatality(

  14. Well apparently, My rock is alot closer to the facts than yours. I do not appriciate being flamed, Mother. As this is a somewhat Mature topic, let's try to keep the conversation such. as for support... Support for the invasion and occupation of Iraq included 49 nations, a group that was frequently referred to as the "coalition of the willing". These nations provided combat troops, support troops, and logistical support for the invasion. The nations contributing combat forces were, roughly: Total 300,884 - 98% US & UK United States (250,000 83%), United Kingdom (45,000 15%), South Korea (3,500 1.1%), Australia (2,000 0.6%), Denmark (200 0.06%), and Poland (184 0.06%). Ten other countries offered small numbers of non-combat forces, mostly either medical teams and specialists in decontamination. Before the attack, the head UN weapons inspector in Iraq, Hans Blix, clearly stated that his teams had been unable to find any evidence of nuclear, biological, or chemical weapons in Iraq. However, the discovery of illegal missiles discovered by United Nations weapons inspectors which were ultimately deemed in violation of United Nations Resolution 687 (1991), called the Al-Samoud IIs, raised serious questions: these rockets could possibly narrowly pass the allowed range of 150 km (93 miles), though without carrying any load. Ultimately though, they were determined to be in violation of the terms to which Saddam Hussein agreed in order to cease the hostilities of the Persian Gulf War and thus, deemed prohibited and ordered destroyed by the United Nations Security Council. In a May 26, 2004 Insurgents with a Sarin gas warhead used against US soldiers in an IED. The Boston Daily News published an article concerning this (poorly implemented) WMD attack against US troops by insurgents. This failed chemical weapons attack was also noted by The Associated Press and reported by Fox News later that year.[I] Read as violation of Cemical weapons and WMD treaties with Iraq.[/I] As of May 2005, small quantities of chemically degraded mustard gas had been found in old munitions. These are generally regarded as left-overs from the pre-sanction era before the 1991 Gulf War were not destroyed by the Iraqi regime.[I]Violation[/I] An article published by The Associated Press and reported by Fox News that more WMD not destroyed by the Iraqi Regime were discovered in South Central Iraq by Polish Allies. Sarin Gas warheads dating back to the last Iran-Iraq war were trying to be purchased by terrorists for $5000 a warhead. The Polish troops purchased items on June 23, 2004. [I]Again, Violation[/I] On August 14, 2005, The Washington Post published an article titled, Iraqi Chemical Stash Uncovered [62]. The presentation identifies a chemical weapons facility discovered in Iraq and chemical weapons uncovered were in the process of being classified. The time of instantiation was unknown. The article incorrectly indicated that Chemican Weapons was not used against allied forces in Iraq (ignoring the May 22, 2004 IED attack), ignores the July 2, 2004 discovery of Sarin Gas warheads and launchers by Polish Allies, and even contradicts the self-same article by indicating that chemical weapons were not found in Iraq. [I]supports above statements, proves media folley[/I] [B]UN Sanction violations.[/B] During the UN Sanctions, France and Russia had been selling and transporting advanced electronic military equipment to Iraq, violating international law. The discoveries reported on August 6, 2003 of MIG's with advanced electronics sold during the 1990's illustrate the difficulty in recovering evidence of UN sanction violations. Stated byy the UN Security Council Resolutions authorizing the 1991 invasion, in addition to Resolution 1441, gave legal authority to use "all necessary means," which is diplomatic code for going to war. This war ended with a cease fire instead of a permanent peace treaty. Their view was that Iraq had violated the terms of the cease-fire by breaching two key conditions and thus made the invasion of Iraq a legal continuation of the earlier war. Looks pretty cut and dry to me. I'm pretty sure you'll say that INSURGENTS are not offiliated with the legality of the war(and that is who we are currently warring with) However Insergents, and terrorist orginizations do not claim home soil and cannot be protected by any UN sanction. BTW LOL Drix.

  16. That's pretty good if you haven't been using photoshop for long. Here's a tip for clouds. :) Take some varrying sized brushes(w/ no sharpness) and make a chain of overlapping blue grey dots, then change the brush to white, and repeat the same brushstrokes a little way above them :) Makes nice shadowed clouds.
  17. [quote name='WindFox17']Ok I can't stand bush one bit. But we had to pick the lesser of two evils so I guess it could have been worse. But the war, we should be more worried about our country first. I mean we still need to clean up the mess from Katrina and he is more worried about the east. Oil shortage my ***** we have 2 milloin or more drums of oil in storage. But there in Texas, and not to mention that he has a lot of stock in almost every oil company. He is a greedy as his father was.[/quote] Isn't dealing with the enemy actually benifiting our country? Is it more devistating to us to fight them on our soil or theirs? Keep in mind that Katrina was a hurricane... How exactly can we defend ourselves against that? Can't bomb it, Bush woulda trid. Last year was a horrible year for storms. Look at other countries. :P The fact stands that if we leave Iraq, they get overrun. They're not ready or able to defend themselves yet. If we loose Iraq we loose the war on terror. If we withdraw now, we only send the message to these terrorists that they can just wait it out and then later blow up more of our stuff. You say all these things like he mad a decision, when clearly if you break it down, there is no choice. [quote name='IceRose']I hate him plain and simple, he's made life for virtually everyone that is not rich and pretty impossible. Hopefully he will not go for reelection a 3rd time, and he has done a horrible job with the Iraqui situation, they were not suppossed to go up againt Sadam they were suppossed to go up againt Bin Laden. This is my opinion and please don't hurt me :animeswea[/quote] How has he made life unlivable for the non-rich. I haven't seen any tax breaks or tax reforms since he was in office. Nothin's changed since Clinton was in office. Unless the constitution is radified he cannot run for a 3rd time. 2's the limit. According to United nations Treaties, UN as a whole was supposed to deal with Saddam. Let's say we have a terrible president for holding up to his end of the contract.
  18. I felt that way for a while too, untill I started listening to talk radio. I started actually doing political research. Then I started to realize all the stuff going on over there, that it wasn't all about the oil, but it was in fact a war, not so much an occupancy. It's really something that must be done. New Orleans was INFACT told to evacuate. they chose not to. I don't see how that's the president's fault. Shipping lines were ruined for about a week due to it. (when I say shipping, I mean trucking, trains, transit, ect) If I couldn't get my paycheck shipped from 3 hours away for a week , I'm sure that the government got everything done that they could. (I lived in FLA at the time, NOWHERE near New Atlantis) as for the country's deficit... it's not really important. You have to understand this deficit was created funding a manditory war, that will last longer than any other prior war. :( The job market is up, which is better on a person to person basis than worrying about the deficit(it doesn't increase taxes) Based off of inflation, however by modernday standards, Vietnam costed over double what opur occupation of Iraq has costed. To top it all off we have Dick Derbin, Hillary Clinton, and Howard dean all slandering and mud slinging. Does he bother to justify their claims? No, Because they are in fact wrong (IE: It's NOT an Illegal war, and is supported by the United Nations and law). He doesn't have to worry about being re-elected next term. So is there a point in arguing? No. He's jsut doing his job, Presedenting all day long. :P
  19. It's been a long time, and I need to do it again especially now that I live in the mountians. Anyhow... So begins the sagas of "extreem tubbing!" For a while Every sunday we'd pile up 7 or so people and go eat at CC's pizza since they had all you can eat buffet. (You better all-you-can-eat) Needless to say, afterwords we were all so full we had to walk around a bit before any of us could even comptimplate getting in a car w/o getting sick. So we were walking, and there was a target nearby, and summer had just drawn to a close. We idly browse throught the store untill we come to the clearance section, and we see childrens' wading pools. They're 2 bucks. My Fridn Jonsey's all like "I'm going to buy one!" and we're all like WTF? For what? Several minutes pass. No, I mean several.. probably 15, we'd walked away. Jonesy randomly says "I dunno... I could slide down a hill in it or something." We all look at him like he's stupid, because as we all know South GA is FLAT. He buys it anyways. So we're standing outside Target with this Kid's pool. There's a slight incline behinds the store. He sits down and doesn't move at all. It was then that we discovered the large piles of dirt from construction next door. We approached , and all was good. You could easily slide down this hill. Soon afterwords it became an obsession to find things we could slide down in thse tubs. The gravel quary was great other than the few times you'd fall out of the tub and have a nice 2 story roll in gravel. :P Best of all we found this huge enbankment next to the interstate exit. It was soon taken up a level to running down the guardrale and diving down the hill, then to standing up. Then to 360s standing up, then to... well More nuttiness and more serious injuries. It just sucked when you'd be speeding down a hill at night and suddenly find an ant-hill. I can't think of too many times we did this where I wouldn't come home bleeding or with dirt and grass in some orface it didn't belong. Ahhh good times. (That and my friend dennis invented his signature move "The face brake". think about it for the moment. Laugh like we did.)
  20. No, But almost every one of those has something compairable in the anime Genere. LOL. Boondocks doesn't. I still think the descriptors "anime" and "manga" are missuesd alot. Although My drawings are heavily inspired by Anime and Manga, why is it that people concider me to draw in an "Anime" or "Manga" style when I'm quite obviously greek? What I'm saying is that it doesn't matter where it's from so much as the intent.
  21. Yes! D-Kwan's Dance Grooves! There's not really a whole lot to it. 75% of Dancing is confidence, 25% is not falling over/on other people. Granted, I grew up in the 80s, so I grew up breakdancing. I guess that made it easy for me. I guess for you, Just stand in front of a mirror, and move around. If you don't think you look like a total idiot, your atleast headed in the right dirrection. Going out to the clubs noadays I can tell you for the most part(atleast in the indie clubs that I go to) no one's really doing the same thing. Just try not to look like a tard and you'll do fine.
  22. Hmm.. I guess it goes both ways. I don't think it's so much Anime for th storytelling style (You haven't seen anything out of Japan RESEMBLING this at all) more than the "where it's made" factor. It's weird how you guys would say that's not anime, but I've seen alot of american artists prodouce what everyone seems to think is Manga. Like "Death : at death's door" and then seen some stuff that's not Manga that isn't illistrated in america, like FSC's(Yes I know Foo Swee Chin isn't Japannese, but alot of Korean and Chineese comics are still Manga) "Nightmares and Fairytales".
  23. How many of them pay attention to politics? How many could make a howard-dean-scream? Not too many... I really think you shouldn't be able to vote untill your 20s myself. :( It took me a long time to get into politics.
  24. I'm pseudo pack-rat-ish. I usually keep everything but every 6-months to a year,then I purge. Like throw everything away (especially when I move) keeping only the basics, consoles, computer, furnature, TV, and maybe a few books or toys. It feels really good to have a clean and simple room/Apt for like those 2-3 weeks I can maintain it before I start packing again.
