Re: Q's Anime/Manga List
I enjoy watching Community. I highly recommend it. Another good sitcom is How I Met Your Mother.

Haha, I already watch that show, TFK. And have for quite a while. Love that series. Especially this season, which seems to be better than season 5 and 6 were. I couldn't stand Zoey.

Re: Q's Anime/Manga List
Yes Sadbhahsla finds u argumentantive haha (jk)
In the same way as H.P. Lovecrafts work has negative racial tones due to racial attitude at the time, a reflection of the society he grew up in. THe same is said for Gintama. It doesnt imply it, just like modern Japan doesnt imply it, but it is a negative underlying tone that i would say is probally to subtle for Japanese readers or even the author to see, since they grew up in this culture.
I am annoyed by every country that has problems with race or human rights, but minority racist are different to country that have racism due to unknowns. Ireland has like 95% irish people, with the majority of the remaining 5% being being more europeans. Yet i would see more racism to the black population, not volient racism just more bitching lol ANd this is the same as in Japan but worst as its 1.5% non japanese with 1.2 of that being Asian and they had recent occupation of foriegn armies (still to this day) due to the war. Which adds to mild angry by some of the population
Finally on a serious note, at spanking i hope i missread that as spanking is stupid, no sane human uses pain as a motivation tool. I was spanked and i turned out fine is not a good reason as both my nieces and nephew are not spanked and they are fine too. So really it boils down to if u want to inflict pain to teach or use other punishments and explaination. I cant see the how hurting something that is weaker and trying to understand the world for the 1st time is good. U can teach a child that the fire is dangerous without sticking their hand in the fire and anyone that can hurt a child doesnt deserve to have one :(
I would hope u would reconsider this and maybe read the 100s of papers on this too.
So lol back to normal talk, i tried Beelzebub but didnt get tooo far into it and now ive like millions of other series to try

I agree, but I did think the Captain was pretty awesome. I am also thinking of watching Homeland, it sounds interesting to me and I do enjoy watching Damien Lewis.

Ah! I forgot the Captain. He was awesome, hands down the best side character they ever had in the series, except maybe Marshall's boss, Arthur. I've heard of Homeland but I don't really know what its about.

Neither did you misread that, nor do I think I am insane. Spanking is quick, effective, and it has nothing to do with wanting to a hurt a child. Don't take this the wrong way, but if you see spanking as merely wishing to inflict harm on a child then yes, you are correct that it is evil as wanting to harm a child is that. But if you really think that's what spanking is, then you're view of it is quite immaturely thought out. People do not spank their children out of a wish to harm them. They inflict a tiny amount of pain to teach the child discipline. Spanking doesn't really hurt. At all. Duh. And no, I've thought about this for about five minutes and it makes sense. I was spanked and I can definitely say that no emotional scars were left because of it. I'm not a complete wuss like that.
Beelzebub I failed at the first time I tried it. The manga was terrible, so I thought.
Then I watched the Anime and realized it was a comedy. I loved it after that. ^^
Almost finished catching up in Sket Dance.

None of them are real reasons, quick...really i would like to think people would put some effort into raising kids. Effective is cancelled out cause there are many effective ways. Not wanting to hurt a child while spanking them is contradiction, if there was only one method of discipline but there isnt. And the whole point is that u infilict enough pain to cause a child to think twice about doing it again. How is it that u think that its not wanting, of course u want to u just believe itll help them.
quater wrote:People do not spank their children out of a wish to harm them. They inflict a tiny amount of pain to teach the child discipline.
No they infict pain (pain is pain, dont justify pain by saying its a little when u dont need even a little which means nothing, whats a "little" pain that will insure that someone will never do something again lol) The ends never justifies the means, this is a basic rule for life. U dont do bad in the hopes that its for the greater good.

Again thats a bad arguement, ive never been robbed before, so everyone should carry large amounts of money on u at all times.

Re: Q's Anime/Manga List
1. I'm sorry, I really doubt that, yo. "I was spanked as a kid, I obviously want to hit others >_>" people aren't that simple-minded, yo. Only progressives would think so, oiy.
3. What the heck? Really? Because a kid did something wrong, like take a cookie from the cookie jar, instead of learning the humane and effective way to deal with the situation, he decides to entertain revenge fantasies? What kind of kids are these? Most kids learn, "Ah, maybe I should listen when I'm told not to take the cookies." Or some such. Seriously.
Before I go onto 5, I'd like to point out that number 4 doesn't come from the Bible persay, but it can be clearly seen: Proverbs 13:24 and Proverbs 22:15 are pretty clearly saying use the rod of discipline.
5. Yeah.... you do realize people don't respect those whom do not punish their wrongdoing. When it comes to parenting, punishment is how one gets respect in some ways. Yes, if you over punish you will not be respected, obviously. But you also have to have a level of punishment. And children are not capable of fully grasping emotional complexities, duh. We adults barely are. Spanking is something they can very clearly understand, though. "It hurts, I don't want to do it again," and that is that. The level of "revenge fantasy" or whatever is over by, what, dinner time? Was this study written by actual psychologists or doctored people? How can smart people be so dumb?
9. These reasons are so clearly unstudied its silly. They're just making up whatever they think sounds good to explain why we should get rid of spanking. Frankly, and this may be a surprise, but kids and human beings aren't that fragile, yo. We can handle a spanking without suddenly losing the ability to have compassion.
Anywho, the rest of your stuff is just, oiy. I don't think we're going to see eye to eye on this one at all.
Yeah, we do, huh? That's fine, haha. There's lots of interesting viewpoints to be had, but maybe we should drop this one, since I don't think we're gonna get anywhere, haha. ^^

Re: Q's Anime/Manga List
It is amusing that this little debate started in an anime list thread. This went from a debate about the depiction of foreigners in Gintama to spanking.

Re: Q's Anime/Manga List
Finished Deadman Wonderland.
Geez, what an indecisive ending that was. Didn't feel like the series ended at all, golly.
I enjoyed it, but it was too fast paced/rushed, in my opinion. They put a story that easily could have expanded into 48 episodes into 12...
It should have been made longer. 24 episodes for sure would have been perfect.
Oh well. That was my only objection. Great Anime. Might even bother with the Manga of it, but not likely. ^^

Hm... all caught up on everything and finished my new series, too. Feels weird, but woo. Edited my list to include my finished thoughts on No. 6 and Ao No Exorcist as well as my analysis of Anime 45, Deadman Wonderland.

I hear good things about Gintama and I have been thinking of picking it up but it is frickin' 200+ episodes, I am barely on episode 200 of One Piece, so I think I will pass.

Re: Q's Anime/Manga List
I doubt I will catch up on One Piece anytime soon, I think it has taken over two years to get to episode 200.
