Panache

Just yesterday September, 7, 2006 a man at my school named mister Petteway died. He died in his mid 30's. I didn't know him that well we chit chatted here and there but we weren't really close friends. Now that he's dead I feel like a have a huge gap in my life. I don't understand why this is seeing as I do not know him that well. Can anyone who has been through a similar situation like this please give me your insight on why this is and how to cope. Also if you have any similar stories feel free to share.

Well I personally love anime beacuse I have this gene called the geek gene. It is hereditary and is therefore in my blood. So really I can't help it. It's like crack I NEED it.

[quote name='MrsKakashi']If they are a bootleg, they are one hell of a bootleg. Coming in a fold out cover with a plastic slip over cover, the discs with manufacture information on the cover. Most of the anime coming from singapore, different sellers, is made the same way.[/quote] Well the bootleggers have to make it look like the real thing somewhat. I learned my lesson when I bought Kare Kano and it was a bootleg. You should really take better care not to buy bootlegs as they do significant damage to the economy of anime and can guarantee that certain anime's will never come to the U.S. Try places like Amazon.com and then check the profile of the seller and then the quality of the item. That is your best bet for REAL cheap anime.

[QUOTE=reyclaw]Does anybody else think that the price for some anime series is too high? I have been wondering if anybody else feels the same as I do. When you compare any TV series with anime the price per minute differs greatly. Take Stargate SG-1 vs. DNAngel. Stargate SG-1 Season 8 $40.20 from amazon DNAngel $80.99 from amazon Stargate total run time 980 min DNAngel total run time 650 min [/QUOTE] Buy the thin pack for Dnangel it's like 30 bucks. Usually the most expensive anime is from Genon I don't really know why. Really anime is never expensive unless you have to have it as soon as it comes out and you have to have the collector?s edition with the commemorative license plate. Also anime's are usually an import not made here. So they need to be translated and shipped among other things. Also if you are a bargain hunter it should be fairly simple to get a fair priced anime. Most well known anime?s have pretty low price points. Usually if you wait around for a bit then anime?s become pretty cheap. So no in my opinion anime prices are just fine.

Yes your fascist dictaroships are all well and good but can you beat this?[URL=http://]http://www.eviloverlord.com/lists/overlord.html[/URL]

Those viagra commercials freak me out. The really old guy keeps walking around the town smiling all big. Then his wife is smiling too. It's not weird in itsefl but it's werid beacause you knwo why he's smiling. He's smiling beacuse his morning wood lasts all friggin day(that happened to me once). Man that really creeps me out ecspeacially when he goes into the pool. *shivers*. :animeswea [QUOTE]Guy 1: Says to guy 2 that his Sprint phone is cool. Guy 2: Talks about what his phone can do.

Oh I remeber one more tiem I cried to the naruto manga. [spoiler]When naruto found out that he was the fox and he was all sad . Then I thought iruka was gonna die boy I was actually bawling all ove my new graphic novel.[/spoiler]

Ahh this thread has my rekindles my love of rebellion. If I were in any of your fascist dictatorships (save mine and maybe reds) I would cause a huge rebellion(screw money the fuel of war is money of rebellion it is hate and you would be making alot of that) and kill you all. God bless hatred :D .

Hmm well here comes my list I guess(im just a big baby) -Chrono Crusade- Now this was an obvious one. [spoiler]When Rosette and Chrono died it was so incredibly sad that I wanted to cry all day not to mention when the red head died. I mean she died for no real purpose. Sigh so sad. :( [/spoiler] -Ai Yori aioshi- Oh my god [spoiler]When I thought they wouldn't get together beacuse of her father I almost lost it.[/spoiler] -Mohoromatic maiden- Wow from the very start I was a little sad to know that[spoiler] Mohoro was going to die soon anyway but when she actually did and by that scumbag oh I wanted to die. I was seriously never gonna watch anime ever again if it ended like that.[/spoiler] -Angelic Layer- [spoiler] Well I cried when the little girl and heremother were reunited. You know you did too admit it. [/spoiler] -Saber Marionette J and J-X- [spoiler] Well in J it wasn't so bad beacuse that the girls were sacrificing themselves for a good cause. But in J-X when he was just going to leave them just beacuse he thought they would be happy well that was probably the saddest anime moment of all time. [/spoiler] -R.O.D the tv- [spoiler] When I thought anita was dead I sobbed like a woman.[/spoiler] -Han Yori Dango-[spoiler] I almsot creid when I thought cute lil tsagushi was gonna leave tsukasa high and dry. That was just plain cruel.[/spoiler] Yes no one saw me do any of this so it doesn't count so im not a wus yay!

[QUOTE=Red 6][COLOR=Sienna] The Romans commited cultural genocide on any people they conquered. They treated them like inferiors and made them pay tribute and fight their wars etc. They Romanized them. I have no intention of doing this. All the provinces will be essentially the same as they are now, just with no one to invade and with a more opressive police force to keep fanatical nuts (Religious, political, or otherwise) in check. The Romans had the right idea, but my idea builds and improves on it... in theory. Of course, the governers will probably all aspire to take my place which would probably get me assassinated... maybe if I used a mind-controlling chip... or... wait, I got it! I'll build computers to rule everything for me! What knows more about human needs and wants than a computer?[/COLOR][/QUOTE] I was talking more about the govorner thing not the cultural genocide thing. Oh and about those computer things have you seen the matrix?

[QUOTE=Delta][COLOR=#35425e]Naw, chief. Dem Benedictine monks started dis all-black shizz way back in 529 AD, yo. [size=1]Really, black is one of the true neutral colors. It goes with practically anything. With the right articles of clothing, even black on black looks hip. And it's sooooo not emo. People-watching won't hurt you.[/size][/COLOR][/QUOTE] Well if you wanna be technical about it sodom and gamora wore all black back in b.c. 3000ish. So HA you got owned. Also black is a good winter color nice and warm. Also it is quite a dashing car color.

[QUOTE]If I was a facist dictator... I'd divid the world into provinces, and than personally apoint each one a governer on my payroll to rule them. I secret police organisation would obviously be necessary to quell any malconents, but aside from that I'd let people do what they want, so long as they answer to their governers, who in turn answer to me. Than, I would have an island fortress built for me in Hudson bay, and I'd hang out with my drinking buddies and smoke Cuban cigars. [/QUOTE] Ahem go down the way of the romans will we? Hope you like having your throat slit.

Hey didn't the black panthers start the all black thing? Also they didn't wanna conform either. Hey you emo's totally ripped the Black Panthers off!

[QUOTE=DeadSeraphim][COLOR=Indigo][SIZE=1][FONT=Arial] Geez. Outlaw drinking? [i]Drinking?[/i] Of all the things you outlaw, you outlaw the God-given ability to get inebriated and do stupid things? No sir I don't like it. Also, a volunteer army isn't a volunteer army if you make every able bodied [i]penis-owner[/i] enlist. And killing women who have abortions? Isn't that missing the point? Anyway, all in all, your dictatorship is far too concerned with morals and not at all concerned enough with being self-serving and terrible, and having a planetful of people bend to your ever crazy whim. Where is the outlawing of entire musical genres? Where is the banning of wearing t-shirts on Tuesday? Dammit man, where is the blatant, uninformed racism only a fascist dictator can feel free to make? Seriously, your fascist dictatorship reads less like the battle plan of the successful fascist dictator and more like the Republican manifesto on speed.

[QUOTE=Sandy]Pfft, stop complaining over there! In Europe, almost all new games cost 59,99 [I]euros[/I], which in dollars is something like 76,50$. ;P The prices have been like that for years, and they include games from all consoles except PC (which are like ten euros cheaper). What's worse, Sony has decided to convert the price of PS3 to euros with the most simple formula: the console will cost 499,99 ? - 599,99 ? here, which in dollars would be about 640,00 $ - 765,00 $. Talking about currency values... XP I mean, would you pay [I]that[/I] much for a console?[/QUOTE] I doubt that sony would nearly double the price of it's sytem over the xbox 360. That would be an AWEFUL move. I mean considering the ps2 is probably one of the most well known sytems partially bacuse of good marketing moves. I doubt they would screw theres by making such a stupid one. I mean yes it's slightly better than the competition but it's not twice as good. So they better find some way to make this big ole thing cost less and do it fast. Or there going to be in last place in the console market. Sure it might have great games but if you can only buy one of them a year it aint gonna do sony much good.

In my fascist dictatorship every crime will be punishable by death. Unless you are trying to feed your family or get revenge. Then the penalty will be havign to eat a cup of top ramen. All people will be equal no one will be ritcher or poorerthan anyone else. Your not alloqed to be sad in my world. So I will constantly pump the drug of the month throughout the planets atmospere all year round. Eventually it will stop being harmful to us and animeals and strngthen our immune sytem. There will be no abortion unless the woman in question will die if that baby comes out. If I find out you did have an abbortion I not only will kill you but every single person who could ahve stopped this from happening(including you). Alchahol will be banned. Less car accident's :animesmil . I will force all anime makers to make all of their aniem in english as well as japanese same goes with game makers. I will make a volenteer army that every man must join if they are a healthy fit human being. The only time the soldiers may be taken from service is when they have a son of age who is fit for the army or if the person turns 45. All women will be forced to join the army in a different fashion besides infantryman. Why would I have an army you ask? Well beacuse of the alien invasion silly. So that's all I would need fro mmy dictatorship.If you don't like it you can die! :catgirl:

[QUOTE=Kira93]yeah i think it'd be a uncomfortable way to die >_< oh and i cut as a coping mechanism for stress, anger, sadness and stuff like that.[/QUOTE] Uncomfortable? More like agonizingly painful. Um anyway have you ever considered stress balls? I hear they have a much lower shot of giving you tetnis.

[QUOTE=Kira93]i know some people who've attempted suicide through cutting. and i dont cut because of that reason.[/QUOTE] Wow wouldn't that be a horrible way to die? It like that time from southpark when the the teacher tried to kill him self with a table saw nuts first. Ouch1 :animenose Anyway may I ask why you cut yourself?

[QUOTE=Retribution][size=1]The entire reason there is such outcry is because in America, people are race-sensitive. I wonder why? It might be the fact that blacks had been enslaved for several centuries, on top of another century of oppression, and this injustice was done by whites. [/size][/QUOTE] Well most of the outcriers are white people not black people. So um huh? Don't tell me im wrong beacuse my school is prodominantly black and whenever they see something racist they usually just laugh at it. Then the small minority of white people are outraged. Maybe I know an amazing number of cool people who can laugh off rascism but I doubt it. Anyway this doesn't count as rascism beacause both of the ugly girlies are doing it. Also would there be a such a big outcry if it was a spanish lady being "discriminated" against? I don't think so. The spanish were being discriminated against as well as blacks. Actually they were probably discriminated more so bacuse almost all of south america was ransacked by the europeans before there people were enslaved. Also if the africans were not taken from afirica they would all still be there right? So which place would you rather be living in now africa or america? Exactly what ignorant rascist people did back then was wrong that is very true.( I say ignorant rascist people beacause not all white people owned slaves). Also if slavery never existed I doubt that this country would be where it is today. So in the long run even if slavery was a horrible act you cannot deny that there were benefits in the long run.

New week new recomendation. This weeks recomendation is sponsored by dollar store ramen. That yummy taste of amonia! :cool: On to the recommendation! [B]Super Gals[/B]-This anime is all about girl power. But even though it's about girl power lot's of men actually like it. So that in itself speaks volumes. It's about a gal named Ron Kotobuki and her daily life with her 2 best freinds who are gals just like her. If you wanna watch an empowering girly anime or just a fluffy fun anime this is the one for you. Warning only half of thsi series is out in the us so far. The other half is suppose to come out on december 1 2006 but will only be in japanese with english subtitles. So if you can't watch that kinda thing then steer clear of this one.

[QUOTE=Cazzilla]No..i wasn't high o.0 But I was hung over if that makes a difference o.0 I suggest everyone watches it and joins me in rocking abck and forth in the feotal position.[/QUOTE] Hung over? Yea that was the problem. Don't drink go to sleep then watch anime bad otaku bad. :animesigh

Ehh 70$+ oh forget that. Ill just put 600 dollars into my p/c and play the best games on that. I mean are they crazy? Have they seen the wii recently? It's going for the cheap cool idea approach. I think sony shoudl lean more towards that. At this rate the only 2 console's in the console wars will be the wii and 360. I mean ifthere games are gonna be 70$ then I can probably only buy like 1 every 4 months. So these games better have 500+ hours of gamepaly each or im not buying this ghastly sytem. Shoot I might just buy the console and ff13 beacuse that is the main reason im buying it. But then again there's a chance that that will coem out on the 360. Yo microsoft JUMP ON THAT NOW! I mean it's not like there short on money. I mean as the most important franchises are being taken by microsoft sony should make their games more accesable not less. I mean imagine this I wanna buy grand theft auto 4. It's out on the xbox 360 for 60 dollars new and 45 used. Then theres the playstation 3 which makes 2 of the billions of pixels .0005 more shiny. But these games cost 80$ each. Which am I gonna pick?
