  1. [QUOTE][i]Originally posted by wizard-of-oz [/i] [B]im not sure if anyone else noticed. but not everyone carrys a gun around with them. and most of the people that do live in big citys like L.A. and theres nothing wrong with collecting guns. its a hobbie. how would you like it if someone outlawed your hobbie because of stupid people? [/B][/QUOTE] I have an answer to that... Like I said before, I am not against collecting guns. It's like collecting any weapon, like a sword or whatever. My sword sits in my room in it's sheath at all times. I only take it out to clean it. You don't pratice with it, you practive with Kendo swords, or wodden swords... Anyway... here my answer... We don't have to outlaw guns per say, lets just outlaw the bullets. What happens when you outlaw bullets, they are sold on the black market... at outrageous prices because they can't be mass produced anymore. Thus who is going to buy them but people with lots of money, which isn't the majority of the US. At least I think that I wouldn't spend $10 on one bullet... seems like waste. If you collect guns, awesome yay! whatever, but why do you need bullets if you're only collecting them? If you shoot for sport, at targets, not animals, like Gokents, then I also really don't see a problem. It's an Olympic sport, shooting that is. But I think collecting and shooting non-living targets for sport is about the absolute only reason ever to have a gun. And I think you should have strict limitations on that alone. Shooting animals is a big no no. I don't see why this is not considered murder int he US. We shoot and kill animals it's fun, a sport whatever. An animal kills your little kid, that animal is a EVIL being who should be killed... It's absolutely ridiculous. I don't see any difference between killing any animal and killing any human. We are all animals, we all have lives, we are all living, there is no difference but we have the ability to create horrible weapons to kill those other things.
  2. [QUOTE][i]Originally posted by gokents [/i] [B]Hey, if it can happen to the second amendment, it can happen to the first.[/b][/quote] Yeah, they kinda already did that. They took away alot of our freedoms since 9/11. For our own safety they say... [quote][b] And to remind you, outlawing guns from the law abiding citizens will not take the guns away from the people you are complaining about the government protecting you from. (which, btw, the government cant even enforce our current laws)[/b][/quote] Most of the people who kill using guns are law abiding people who usually end up using the weapon in a rage, drunk, or emotionally confused. If those guns weren't there to begin with, then they couldn't use them in their little rage. [quote][b]Plus like what I said before... whats the point of making new laws when you cant enforce the current ones.[/b][/quote] If banning guns ever came to be, it would be SO publicized that the government would HAVE to inforce it. It wouldn't be something like speeding or whatever. Or ever drugs for that matter. Drugs aren't well enforced because it's easily disuade. People sell, buy, and transport drugs easily. It's an easy profit, guns aren't so much. Guns are much harder to transport. There isn't a huge market like drugs for them. You can't easily sell them on any street corner... at least not always like most drugs. I know they can be sold illegally and will be, but to the majority of people, wouldn't be the case. I'd rather only outlaws have guns than every fuggin person int he country. [quote][b]I can tell you now though, if you try to take a gun from me, without an reason that is sound and legitimate. (being my own faults or ownership of overly powerful weapons) I will make you pay for it.[/quote][/b] It won't be me... it'll be that government you love so much right now... [quote][b]De-armament is the first step to controlling the people in ways that alienate our "in-alienable" rights.[/b][/quote] It's also the first step to complete safety in our oh so not safe world. [quote][b](And I might even kill you with one of those out of date... what do you call them, oh thats it, knives or swords; or **** maybe just my own hands.) [/B][/QUOTE] Possibly the most immature thing I've ever seen you say... I will say nothing else about that comment.
  3. [QUOTE][i]Originally posted by j00f00 [/i] [B]In my view, at this point in time, the only reasonable thing to do is step up the precautions on people who buy/own guns, and how they use them (which would include heftier punishments for those who infringe on the rules. [/B][/QUOTE] While that is a good thing, it's been tried and won't ever happen the way we imagine. Because guns are sold by private sellers, meaning anyone who wants to, most of the time, they are out for the money and can and will sell guns to anyone if they want to make a profit. If gun sellers were controled by the government, or was a government institution, this would work a hell of alot better. But then people would go all nuts cause thats socialism and thats anti-america and anti-capitalist.... I think your idea would work, but only in a socialist way, which will never happen here. I absolutely think guns, in all forms, should be outlawed. it's the government's job to protect me and my freedom, and criminals with guns in their possession is not doing that. But it'll never happen. Esspecially since the founding fathers didn't foresee technology like what we have now. And the fact it says we can have guns in the constitution makes it all the harder to get it repealed... but it happened to the 18th amendment, it can happen to the 2nd.
  4. [QUOTE][i]Originally posted by AJeh [/i] [B][b][size=1] How exactly is it all with guns in the US? I mean, is everybody allowed to keep one on themself or something? I mean, here they're banned full-stop. And if you get caught with one, stuff happens.[/b] So uh.. I need to really know for sure how it works in the US before I can really say anything. -.-[/size] [/B][/QUOTE] The second amendment right states that we have the right to carry a firearm. However, with laws in the US, there are extreme limits on this right. Usually rifles and handguns apply. Semi-automatic and Automatic ones don't, although I think some semi-automatics are. Anyway, when the second amendment was passed, there were no such things as automatic and semi-automatic weapons. There were rifles and like revolvers... things for simple protection, you know because back then we didn't jhave alarm systems and sh*t like that. I think saying "It's our right to carry whatever weapon we want" is not only outrageous, but incredibly and utterly stupid. I think people can have a simply firearm, just like our founding fathers had in mind. However I think guns are stupid...
  5. Do your kids have like Ultra-metabolism? They grow up awfully fast lol. It's cute, you look hella-awesome.
  6. Now we all know different races, typically, have likes and roots to different types of music, at least here in the states, England, and possibly Australia. But what is the real difference in it. White people tend to like rock music. Black people tend to like rap music. Obviously there are major exceptions. I heard somewhere over half the listening audience of rap music are white people. Perhaps someone could give me exact numbers there. For the purposes of this exercise, we will use only these two. Asian people tend to fall into all categories. The Japanese alone pump out more genres in music than any other single race. So this topic doesn't much concern any specific type of asian. Anyway, I've noticed we all argue over different genres. I bring back memories of when I was High School. We have a radio station down here in Orlando that plays dance music and rap intertwining. meaning usually you'd have one dance song followed by a rap song, and repeat so on and so on. Well this girl on the bus would literally complain EVERY time a dance song played YELLING at the bus driver to change the station to 102 JAMZ (which was actually 101.9, but who's really counting) which was a purely dominate station appeasing the listening forms of African Americans and other peoples who prefer the styles of rap and R&B. They always played mainstreak CRAP which absolutely blew, but hey, if it shut that stupid b*tch up, I was happy. I don't think that station is around anymore, so she can shove it anyway. On to the point. Is there really a difference in society and musical culture. Especially in mainstream life. Pop has the infamous boy band blow out. You know, where BSB and NSYNC make it big and 30,000 other boy bands pop out of the money market in some attempt to have teenage girls masturbate over their shirtless pics. But I've noticed recently that Rap is almost the exact same thing. When rap went mainstream, or I should say hip-hop as it was at the time, with Run DMC and Public Enemy and all the precursers to the movement, not many people jumped on. Hell the Beastie Boys, a white rap group for those of you unfamiliar, were the first ever to break records int he rap genre. But recently, with the fame of Ja Rule, and this new style of mainstream rap (Nelly, whoever else) we see a bajillion new rappers come and go like boy bands come and go. Everytime I flip on MTV when they happen to be playing music videos, doesn't happen much, or I pass by BET when Comic View isn't on, there's almost some new rap star doing the same sh*t everyone else has been doing. There is no difference in our society trying to be apart by culture. You have the white culture, what little we posses in some ways, and the African-American culture, which tries so hard to stay different, but in the end it all ends up the same.... so why do we have this seperation in culture, in our very own music. I don't mean to throw this back to the Japanese, but they are a perfect example of how one culture of people can produce a variety of greatness. There is no culture difference amung the Japanese people like in America. The country is predominantly Japanese people with very little fluctuation of race. Yet they can still pump out every genre of music. From rap, to pop, to rock, to dance, to salsa, they do it all. This post is all over the place, I guess I have different things going on in my head as far as what I really mean. The main point is that I don't see a need for cultural speration in music. The continued cultural seperation in music is what drives our own music styles, wants, needs, and likes down the drain. I mean look at Americans. We, as a society EAT up crappy talent. Have you watched TV in the last year? If another reality show about losers trying to get married comes out, I'll shoot myself. Same with music. You get boy bands out the ying yang and rapper out the whatever. All to crappify the music even more, prolonging it's crappiness (I sound like Strong Bad) yet, because of the cultural differences, there's nothing to stop them. White folks eat up the pop, black folks eat up the rap and neither will do anything for the other, so it just stays and stays and then thats were you get morons like Eminem making stupid remarks about it in his OWN music and you get more sex appeal by sluts like Christina Aguwhatever which completely takes away from the whole meaning to begin with. Now you're feeding on appearance/controversy (same thing as far as I'm concerned)... which RUINS music. I respect people who have a like and want to explore the indie scenes and underground scenes in whatever genre. It helps to try to stop crappy talent, but if we still have that line in culture seperating music, it won't work. At least I believe that. Did this even make sense. I'm going back over it and I'm thinking it doesn't make much. Oh well, if you get it, good for you. If not, no harm done, you just wasted your time trying to read something that wasn't written very well. PS: I didn't even bother going into country music. that would have made it even worse to read, but I'm sure you can apply. "Lets make war songs about being patriotic over and over again!"... exactly... PPS: If this doesn't make sense, I'll delete it after the first few responces, if any.
  7. I like Queen Asuka's and Blanko's the best, just because they killed something in the quote and it was disturbing and well yeah, that is what i liked at the moment... anyway... I choose.... ::dies:: I dunno who to choose... That severed head in the elevator shaft thing was really funny cause it was so unexpected, but... I dunno if you can beat an exploding air tank on a dog... so... Queen Asuka's the winner, but not by much... if this was a penis rating system, Asuka has 9 inches and Blanko has 8 and 3/4s... lol... ignore that... you get the point... YAY! Hurrah. Sorry Blanko :) It was still funny :)
  8. [QUOTE][i]Originally posted by Justin [/i] [B]I think American society has become extremely desensitized to the horrors of things like war. [/B][/QUOTE] Especially people who put us in the war to begin with. The way I see it, someone doesn't choose to be a Hero. A Hero is a title that is given to someone, usually by the majority, for something, usually one or two isolated insidents, they did out of the "heat of the moment" which saved someone(thing) or many which could have easily taken his/her/its own life. If I sign up for the army, I don't automatically become a Hero. I don't want people to think I'm a hero, and I certainly won't think of myself as a Hero. With that logic, you better be calling all people serving in the Republican Guard heroes as well. And somehow I doubt most of you would.
  9. I dunno if you mean like REAL kiss or just kiss so I'm gonna go with what I think fit here. [b]Who was your first kiss?[/b] Girl: Jessica Boy: Chase [b]How old were you?[/b] Girl: Oh, about... 4? Boy: 10 I guess [b]How was it?[/b] Girl: Err I was 4 lol. I dunno. I don't remember much from then. Boy: It was friggin hot. I still have a crush on the boy to this day! I think deep inside I love him but yeah... I dunno where he is... Last I heard somewhere in Ocala. [b]What were the circumstances? (Where, Time, etc)[/b] Girl: Lots of places... we were like a couple that young... always holding hands and little kisses, we have pictures to proove it. Boy: Always in private. His room, my room, whereever. [b]What was your Worst/Best Kiss?[/b] Worst: My ex. I dunno why but his kissing sucked. Best: My ENGLISH en Boyfriend... God he was good at EVERYTHING!
  10. I have a life too you know lol. I have to support myself, don't have time... lol anyway... I'll have to find a pic... god damn... Uh yeah, here's one. I really couldn't find anything all too funny. I'm sure someone can make something of this. Enjoy... [img]http://www.otakuboards.com/attachment.php?s=&postid=380832[/img]
  11. I don't mean to sound conceeded or anything similar, but what exactly makes them all war heroes? I thought they were just soldiers doing their job, now they're heroes? I'm confused. Don't get me wrong, I support them, I just don't think they all deserve the high honor of hero.
  12. yeah.... I'm going to go in the closet and cry now.... Although, dancing Hitler is pretty damn funny. And Jack Off Jill is a way awesome band! Oh wait, I'm in the closet crying.
  13. It's a rip off of the new Star Search, which is a rip off of American Idol, which is a rip off of Pop Idol, which is a rip off of th original Star Search... which I'm sure was a rip off of something else. Yeah, the american meaning of "talent" only revolves around "fake" singing and sports.
  14. I am pissed off about boobs in movies and no penises! I MEAN! COME ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! lol.
  15. Hip-Hop.... Run DMC is true Hip-Hip Anything now-a-days is gansta crap or just plain crap. Real Hip-Hop doesn't exist Run DMC coined Hip-Hop and will be the only group ever to be true Hip-Hop, every one of the other rappers are just fakes. They are all trying to be what they aren't and they are pathetic in the process.
  16. [QUOTE][i]Originally posted by hot head [/i] [B]Look i hate sadam and Osoma as much as the next guy, but Osoma is supporting us in Iraq. They found another tape of his. It said that he wanted his people (supporters) to help with the war in Iraq. [/B][/QUOTE] lol, you got it backwards... he was urging the Muslim world to back Saddam and to help in suicide bombings on the US army and any couuntry who supports the US in Iraq. He also said that he urged the Arab people to stand up to Pro-Western governments. Osama and Saddam aren't in cohutes. They don't even like each other all that well. So I doubt Osama really deeply cares that much about Saddam, and I'ms ure the feeling is mutual. Sage, I refered to Saddam as stupid based on what experts said on him. Experts who HAD been with him in person. I didn't make it up. I based it on what they said about him and what they knew about him... they all said Saddam would not leave his country like other terrorist. He wasn't a coward. I just don't think thats the smartest idea, cause he'll be dead soon. The US government wants him dead. They want to assisinate him. But yeah anyway, thats what I meant. Osama is just weird and a coward. Anyone who runs from what they do is a coward, and Osama has run from it, thus he is a coward. Edit: James, you like to close topics when I'm in the middle of a responce...... -_____-;
  17. OMG! Thats far too horrid/cute to make any caption of.... did I just say horrid/cute?.... didn't know those two went together. ok ok I'll make one Puppy: (just waking up) AH!!! I just had the worst dream... a giant cat was eating me like.... a..... hot.... dog.... what's this bun doing here?.... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ A normal day inside Mr. Wang's Chinese Restaurant NO OFFENSE TO ANYONE!
  18. Ages were never really prooven in the show. Or the manga for that matter... there's too many anomolies inside the show/manga to even create any sort of rational time line. I have to agree, posting the ages does not serve any purpose.... I like to see this forum as a whole used as an FAQ, making one topic rather defeats that purpose. People should stick to asking what they want to be known and people answering them to the best of their ability.
  19. Never seen it, but the thought of people judging whether people who look better than themselves are hot or not is quite frankly the dumbest thing I've ever seen...
  20. uhh well since there's absolutely no proof we've killed either of them the only option is to assume they are alive. I mean, they were alive before and if you don't find them dead, you must oviously still assume they are alive. Osama is a bit smarter than Saddam. Saddam has too much pride and will stay in Iraq, or so say the people who've documented him and lived near him. However, Osama is a coward who fears for his own life and hides in various places...
  21. You made her look a little tooooo skiny. No wonder my sexy Shinji-kun loves her so much. mmm Shinji... Can you draw Shinji, I ruv him.
  22. [QUOTE][i]Originally posted by eve [/i] [B] but how about otaku idol [/B][/QUOTE] How exactly you plan to do that... have people record themselves and upload it? lol... I doubt it would work, and if peopel were insane enough to do it, it'd be funny as hell. Sign me up as a judge if we ever do that.
  23. [QUOTE][i]Originally posted by The Mage Prince [/i] [B]What makes a dragonball villan a villan. Why do thay do the things they do? What makes them bad? What makes them want to kill? If anyone knows the answer to these questions write in and tell me. Also witch villan gets close to destorying the earth?:bawl: [/B][/QUOTE] What makes you ask such a question that can't be answered? When you can figure that out, you'll know the answer to your own question.
  24. And they wonder why rappers have a bad reputation... oh wait, thats cause they DO have a bad reputation, there's no wondering when you get idiots like Eminem allowed to become popular.
  25. I always thought he was still distraught over something Yuki did. I don't remember it exactly, it's been a while since i've seen the series.
