Transtic Nerve

Yaoi, in many cases, is often a side story made up by fans. They are fantasies of writers, animators, artists, fans, and anyone who wants to. They have nothing to do with the original plot of any anime in most cases, cause they aren't meant to. The meaning of a fantasy is to make up something to entertain and turn you on effectively.... these people who do yaoi, and often those who like yaoi, have no concern with original, boring, most often heterosexual, plots. That defeats the whole purpose, lol. Yaoi stories/manga/art are often meant for the sole purpose of turning someone on. They are much like porn in a sense. Porn is made for the sole purpose of sexual pleasure. There are stories/mangas that don't focus on sex, usually romantic ideals, which are usually the obsession of women and girls. These are the "cute" or "loving" stories some may see, read, or whatever. These again do not care about original plots or story lines and are simply made as a side story. Something again out of the imagination, a fantasy. Yaoi, hentai, Shoujo Ai, Shounen Ai, whatever there is are not made to care about original story lines or original plot lines in many cases. If they do, it's usually a small amount which is then altered based on how the animator or writer feels fit. Anime is all fiction, it's all ideas of people, the same goes with Yaoi and Hentai writers and artists. Most often on the ideal of the characters are mentioned, and even then there are some very original yaoi and hentai out there which do not focus on any characters from any anime.

Yes, there are already TWO other topics on this, why did you feel a need to make a third? Hell you even posted in it. Adam has already stated that nothing new will be added to theOtaku.com till he can revamp and get the other section up to date and redone. And as I said before, I asked, and was granted the ability to do so, and plan on doing one when I get some free time, and when Adam gets everything done.

No, they don't have a video set to clips of DBZ lol. Thats what is called a home made music video. They used to be and may still be very popular in the anime world. I think anyone who doesn't live under a rock has heard of Rammstein. If not they've heard of Du Hast. They are a great band, I have all of their albums. They are one of those few groups who hasn't changed their sound much through their career and popularity. I also like the fact that the American audience once took in a foriegn group that makes music not in English of Spanish. Thats always a good thing. They gave a new sound to American radio, one that completely blew away all others.

There is enough on this topic as it is... we don't need to overdo it.

Well considering domain names are free for all, any site can name or get any domain name they want as long as it's not previously been bought. I could purchase [url]www.theotakus.com[/url] if I wanted and no one could do anything about it. As long as I don't steal copyrighted material or information, web designs, etc etc, then it's all fine.

Yes he is.... can we find something more useful to discuss?

Intro threads are not allowed here. However, welcome and enjoy.

Street Ball is this up-and-coming fad now, because of the show on ESPN which documents many of the "Ballers" and what they do, go through, and play. Unfortunantly the NBA isn't very interested in "Ballers" so their no money, only fame amung each other and the "scene"... occationally some of them make it to the NBA, but judging from the many times i've seen that show on ESPN, they don't. Anyway, I don't play B-Ball anymore, and if I did, I wouldn't play it in this style. It's cool to watch, funny too, but it's pure show off, and egos are just too high. I'd rather play a real team game based on team talent and coordination amung others than just strut my stuff quite honestly.

It was Zeh.... but err... well he's no more.... I honestly don't know the answer to that. I've beena mod forever though.

RISUTO KATTA!!!!!!!!!!!!!! How big is my.... oh nevermind.... What was the former relationship between me and wrist cutter? $10 goes to the winner.... wrist cutter can't guess.

This whole "debate" is just a waste of time. The people who believe in God will believe in God. No matter what. The people who don't believe in God, won't believe. They certainly shouldn't after the way they've been treated in this thread, thats for damn sure. Some of you should be ashamed of yourselves. It's a pity some of you represent yourselfs this way. Thats going for everyone. I leave this thread on this closing notice: Beliefs are beliefs. Have your beliefs, but have them yourself. It's YOUR belief for a reason, and YOU are not everyone else. So believe yourelf and everyone else will believe in what they want. It's not your job to care about them, it's not your job to preach to them, and it's certainly not your job to try and "show them the light." Don't lead a life blinded by faith, for that is the worst way to live life. You are not God's slave, don't act like it. You are his creation, his child. So live life, enjoy it, whichever way that is, but most importantly, let everyone else enjoy theirs the way they want it to be.

Or did you just forget about that flood thing. And Earthquakes are caused by moving plates, plates are always moving based on the earth's flux. They are flotaing on the earth's core essentially. God doesn't move them, they move because of the laws of science, not the laws of God. [quote][b] There is God,okay?[/quote][/b] How can you just say that? You have no backing, no proof, you are just saying that based on your experiences... again, you're turning this into an opinion. God isn't an opinion, he's a belief. Different people believe in different things, so you cannot simply say there is a God. [quote][b]1. How could the Universe just popped into existence? How did everything start? Before the so called "Big Bang", what was there? Know one knows. Even the brilliant Albert Einstein, who had better reason to be athiest then any one on the OBs beleived there was a grand being. Something alot bigger then any mortal being could understand.[/b][/quote] There a theories. Good theories on it too. Explainable, probable theories... I suggest you read up and them. [quote][b]2. YOu hear about these strange miracles that just happen. One time my brother walked into a closed-in (walls around the road, very, very small, vehicles could barely fit.) road in Greece while a truck was coming, and some how, he survived with nothing but a knicked elbow and he swears up and down, he felt...soemthing grab him to the wall.[/quote][/b] Some things cannot be explained. Maybe it's God, Maybe it's not. No one knows who shot Kennedy, that can't be explained... was it God!? [quote][b]3. There have been great proofs that the human body has a soul. Explain the existance of chi or ki. There are really there, beleive me. Some how, the most skilled martial artist are able to utilize it for amazing feets, such as being able to stand on ONE very delicate tea cup, with out breaking it, or being able to channel the chi to destroy the middle block alone of about 8. There is proof. Just look for it. I am a pseudo Christian. I beleive in god and the teachings of the Bible, but i don't beleive other things. The Bible was written by a human, after all.[/quote][/b] Thats energy. Chi and Ki is all energy, it's all science. It's energy transfered from your mind, body, and your surroundings. Energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transfered. Your body and esspecially your mind contain SO MUCH energy it's almost unbelievable. People learn to transfer this energy from potential to kinetic, thus giving them more "power." It's not the soul that does this. It's not a spirit that does this. It's just simply energy. [quote][b]2. Why do you people who don't beleive in God so angry about it? You seem to think that people who do beleive are idiots. But I guess thats the difference between Intellegence and Wisdom. Most of you seem to be angrered teens, probably goths, who are angry at there lives. But i'm not saying all of you are. I'm just saying that you may be happier with a little more faith. I'm not saying go to church every sunday and read the bible in a week, but have a little faith in something. (hope i'm not sounding to preachy.)[/quote][/b] I find it funny you automatically assume people are "Goth.".... Thats just pathetic. I don't assume some black guy shot and killed the convient store clerk cause I heard it happens on the news. What the hell is wrong with you. You'd be surprised how many "Gothic" people are Christians... ofcourse you didn't bother to take the time to look into it because you're a blind idiotic loser. And they do have faith, just not in God. They have faith in themselves and people around them, something maybe you should have too. [quote][b] And another thing, why are you so offended in the beleif in God? Its not like you should care[/quote][/b] lol It's not like we should care. We don't. Thats the point. It's you who cares. It's you who continue to display your beliefs and push them onto us. You keep trying to convince us we're wrong. Look, I am not coming here to tell you what to believe. You're doing that. Thats where you draw the line. I will never tolerate anyone telling me what to believe. Telling me what is right or wrong. Thats not up to YOU to decide. That is what offends me. -- Now I'm not an Atheist, I just don't believe that God is the soul creator or everything. I don't believe God is who Christians think he is. God could be a lizard in a big tree for all you know. I believe someone or a group of somethings look over us from somewhere. I believe they control certain things, I believe they try to let the human will control the others. I don't think everything is always "God's work." Alot of it has been and can be prooven by science.

Uh well, when you're grown up, you're dad can't make you do anything, or in this case, NOT do anything. He has no power over your life after you turn 18. Now that I've established this, whats the problem?

There's NO way to proove God exists. I don't care who you are, I don't care if he came down to you personally, you still can't proove it. (Aliens come down all the time apparently and we still can't proove that, get my point)... howeveer because God is a belief (which in itself means [i]Mental acceptance of and conviction in the truth, actuality, or validity of something[/i] (Dictionary.com)... ie: Accepting it's truth, though there is no proof. Belief rests on faith, which means [i]Belief that does not rest on logical proof or material evidence[/i] (Dictionary.com) ... again saying that these are mental discissions based on nothing factual, or logical, but on you're own self interest.) And beliefs cannot be prooven right or wrong (meaning God cannot be prooven true, God cannot be prooven false), for they are beliefs. Thats their point. So to anyone who continues to say "how can you not believe".... well you're a defying you're own belief, you're own meaning.... you don't have a belief anymore. You have an opinion. Whats the point of believing in something if you can't believe in it and have faith in it anymore? It takes you over and makes everything your opinion now. It doesn't work that way folks.... maybe you all need to look at your own beliefs before you go busting everyone else for theirs. animeforever105: You need to stay on topic. This is about God, not evolution (even though forms of evolution have been prooven by science) If you want to know, there are several theories that have organisms being made from the heat and water molecules.There's the bubble theory, the water/land theory, and several others. Anyway perhaps you should do simple research before you immaturely blow up at people for no reason. I fail to see the point about arguing over religion.... If you're Christian you believe God gave us free will. So our free will isn't to believe.... God gave us that, you should accept that. It's not your job as Christians to try to convince us (and if it is, then the bible contradicts itself yet again). You should be looking at all the sinning you do yourself before you start going after others. Now lets please stay on the topic of GOD, not the bible, not all the other aspects of religion. Lets stick the big man or woman or thing or whatever it is.

Governments are needed to govern people. You can't keep order without some form of government. Dictatorship, Democracy, Theocracy, Communism, Socialism, whatever the case may be. It's all government. There is no perfect government, they all have their cons. Please put a little more thought in your posts next time. Do some research too. This is the third topic in the last 5 minutes of yours that I've closed.

There's plenty and plenty and plenty and plenty and plenty and plenty of threads on religion... I suggest you check em out.

Does it really matter to you? It's not your life, it doesn't effect you in anyway, so why do you care?

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by Crimson Spider [/i] [B]That, or I'm just joking around and you are taking it too seriously. It isn't like the rest of the post I said was rude. Going on... [/B][/QUOTE] No, I know you were joking... just didn't find it funny at all.

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by pantalaimon [/i] [B]i don't mind if u but in he offline anyway your right we got a bit carried away there but there are infinite possibilities and where is tacobell any way. [/B][/QUOTE] Taco Bell is a restaurant here in the US. And Crimson Spider was just being a jackass. He's refering to aliens, illegal aliens from another country, despite the fact this thread says "Outer Space Aliens".... he just forgot to read that part.

I don't think anyone can help you from onver the internet. A Phobia is a mental thing that usually peoplehave to deal with themselves. Either get hypnotized or confront your fears. Anywya, I have acrophobia.... which is fear of heights. I usually don't ride roller coasters because of this but I've recently gotten over it.... I also have a case of social anxiety disorder, which really isn't a phobia, more of a chemical inbalance or something...

Don't get married unles you want to. Now-a-days 50% of marriages end in divorce.... if you get married and you don't want to, you'll just end up adding to that statistic and then no one will be happy. If you're not ready, you're not ready.... whoopty doo... Two of my good friends have been together for almost 8 years.... they aren't married...

I was actually asked to work on it and I volunteered to do so.... however with school and work I haven't had the time to do it.

Racism isn't illegal. Racism means that one has a prejudice against a certain race.... Which is existant in much of the world. Acting on that racism in certain forms is illegal.. I don't understand racism. Well I do, but I don't get how anyone can take it so serious to the point they LOATHE and kill people over it. Racism comes from stereotypes... and I think stereotypes are funny. Alot of em are true, but funny. I see something funny in 'em, not something hateful.

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by Justin [/i] [B]Hahah, actually, God [i]did[/i] come down and show me that Christianity was the right way. If he hasn't done that for anyone else [i]claiming[/i] biblical Christianity, they should pray for Him to do so. Otherwise, what personal evidence and comfort do they have? [/B][/QUOTE] What does he look like? Does he have a beard and wear all white like everyone says? A deep voice, one that echoes when he speaks? I know alot of Christians and Catholics and whatever. No one has ever said God came to them. You must be one hell of a special person if God took time out of his busy schedule to pour water on you. I really have alot of questions for him that I've been asking over many of years and he certainly hasn't come down to answer them for me. Next time you see him, tell him I'm waiting... and 'till he, or that Jesus fellow, does come down and speak to me personally, well he doesn't have my faith in Christianity.

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by AzureWolf [/i] [B]I really have to go with Bush on this one. I mean, I applaud you for searching for the right religion, but are you sure Wicca is the way to go? It may just have what you like to hear (isn't the phrase "no harm, no problem," or something?), but does that really constitute the right religion? Are you really Wiccan? Can you say you have no doubt, and this religion is THE religion? I know most can't say that, but how big is your doubt? You're a teenager, and I think everyone should do a little "soul searching" at that time in their life, if not earlier. However, don't be lazy and go to a religion that just sounds good.[/quote][/b] Are you sure Christianity is the right way to go? Have you explored other religions before you chose this one, or did you just pick it randomly? Has God came down to you personaly and told you all of this? Are you sure Christianity is THE religion? Don't be lazy and just go to this religion that everyone else and their mother has. Maybe you should do some soul searching before you go around telling other people what to do. [quote][b]I say don't make your parents and family go through that pain unless you are truly a Wiccan. Besides, they have religious dominance over you if you are less than 18. :) [/B][/QUOTE] If they love him, they will accept him. If they don't accept him, they truely don't love him. Thats how it works, if only people of OTHER religions could use their minds to figure that one out. And no, No one has any religious authority over anyone in this country. Your parents have the power to make you go to church, but they certainly don't have the power to make you believe in anything you don't want to.
