but you need corps around for you to live....if not then you would be growing food in your back yards again....want that?? and then you would have no bars or hospitals....so i guess we are living in the 1702 again?

hehe yeh

mtv, starbucks and WALMART are not the only corps

people never think about damn vegetables and fr uits!!


damnit!!

and cars too! i doubt anyone would want to give up their cars... or their computers! lol

Agreed, fluffo. It does do some really positive things, ill admit that. There is SOME good in corporations, and to do away with them ALL would be stupid as shit, as they do provide many of the things we need/take for granted.

But what we DONT need is lobbiest in CONGRESS to cut these companies breaks, paying congress members to sign laws that help them, AND the super rich in this country. Let's face it, this country has been skewered towards the rich for SOME time, and the more it goes on, the more crooked and corrupt the entire system becomes.

Especially Americans, lol. For god sakes, there are millions of kids around the world starving to death, dieing of mother-infant passed aids, disease, hunger. But us go without are HUGE Gass-guzzling SUV's, popostrous!!!

gov't is crooked and fucked up but ya know what? what can we do about it...? nothing cause they would laugh at us and arrest us so fuck it i say thats JMO

lol arioch, you have no idea

well i hate bringin in the phillipines, but its where i was born and all i got.

see right now they have a good ass president. a woman at that. anyway, what happened before was the previous president was a movie star. of course, noone there can read and all they know is movies so he got in. LOTS of write offs, he'd spend the tax payers money gambling, take gifts from his corporate friends and fly first class all over the world, hookers, the works. while the people continued living on the streets, jobless, ignorant. however, somebody finally got the smarts and they impeached him, bringing her in

well.. next election is coming up (ttrying to be all democratic and shit like us), she is running again butwell.... lets just say the first dude was ben affleck and this next one is sean connery. as in, a BIG ALLMIGHTY dude. its VERy depressing, becuase of course all the uneducated people are gonna vote for him and theyr e gonna be fucked again.

so yes we do have issues but LOL just when u think we've completely fucked up well take a look around! u should be thankful

all i remember is sitting in my big ass house with the marble floors and court yard with fish pond. id look across the street (like 5 feet away, it wasnt really a street i guess) and there was a woman in a house no higher than your waist. the floor was dirt, she slept on a towel and her door was a piece of plywood. well the whole house was plywood. she had 2 kids. now picture that...

lol gore, this is the US, not afghanistan (or iraq.. i dont know which one anymore) you so much as turn on a radio with 'western' music and your pretty much dead

here, unless you make it violent, you wont get arrested. didnt they teach u that in civics? lol

You can change government is what you can do, Politicians number one fear is they will loose their voters.

THERE IS NO GOOD IN CORPERATIONS, you can have eveything a business does and have it not be in a corperation or big business. Chevrolet wasn't always part of GM, it was absoarbed into it. Regular business can do anything a corperation can do, and benefit the customer while doing it, more competeition equates to lower prices and better product. If all are absoarbed into one company there is no reason to lower prices, or improve your product...example.....MICROSOFT...what reason do they have to improve their product...NONE, they can improve it or not and were stuck with it ( at least the vast majority) because there is no readily available alternative. Had Apple become a majoy player in the PC market I can GARUNTEE you that Windows would be 200% better/faster/more effeciant and less taxing to a computer, and bee 100 bucks cheaper at it.

In the 1940's Tucker tried to challenge the Big Three US automakers with his new design of a car that featured seat belts and shatter proof glass....IN THE 40'S. He went under because the Big three baught up all the steel in detroit and he couldn't make any cars.

You can have a good economy without corperations, They serve no purpose to make money off of other people and themselves.

yes i did learn all of that but look at Howard Stern he said he didnt like Bush and he is now off of the air in a million places....you gotta wait what you say about the prez and gov't or you will be missing and not be found IMO lol

LOL on that last post Fluff, shes right about that Gore, if you really cared, you can do just about anything you WANT to make your point driven home, its supposed to be the Land of the Free remember?

You had to add that in there didnt ya?;)

Dont you think that in and off itself illustrates the difference in wealth and power america has to the rest of the world, and the way we are completely ignorant to the rest of the worlds needs, while being sooooo concerned with whats on "Must See TV" and who survived "The Aprentice". I just think Americans are completely turned off to anything unplesant that enters their security bubble.

In the words of Eddie Izzard, talkin to america "Do....Do you even know there are other countries?":p

i hear ya....but i just dont think you can change much....in my eyes....i dont see anything to wrong for me to take time out of my life to try and "change" something that wont change....that is what world leaders and political leaders are for....im neither of the two im a teen and a director :)

Any media is a great means of self expression, be it a personal, artistic, or politcal nature. Thats what it's FOR man!!

i know but im just not one to be into all the politics and shit i try to veer away from that

And in turn away from any choice in who controls you and limits your freedoms, IMO I would want the bastard who is trying to tell me what to do on a very short fucking leash.

i agree with you totally but right now no one is telling me what to do except my mom lol so im cool

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!! i lost my remote. lol hay beavis and butthead is on

thank you for breaking the mood and chaging the topic.....i was gettin worried we would talk about politics all night

do you know what i was just thinking? well i was thinking if we all did turn off our tv and didnt turn it on for a week well it wouldnt make a difference at all because we all would go on the internet more to make up for the wasted time. and im sure that isnt much better then the tv

well i not sure if it was clear but that scene i described was in the philippines. see thats how it is there, theres a mansion and right across is a shack

and it is true. it kind of angers me that people whine about how shitty it is here when they really have no idea. yes there needs things to be fixed but u should still be thankful!

i mean for christ's sake in iraq they made a man get rid of his birds that he was selling BECAUSE THEY CHIRPED MUSIC. WTF?????

i do agree though reality to people here is beautiful people becoming even more beautiful through plastic surgery, and mocha lattes. i tell my friends about the illiteracy problem and theyre like 'ohh i didnt know that. so you want to watch queer eye for a striaght guy to night' and.... grrrrrrrrr so ive just given up co mpletely on them and i try to stick to the girly, stupid crap. lol

its alot better then TV no fucking FCC and no rules lol yay!!!

:( im stuck watching (well, hearing) aqua teen hunger force since they took off WITCH HUNTER ROBIN for this shit.. for the next 8 mnutes

but afterward are my wonderful animes :D

animes are cool :)

see my sig? i am absolutely in love with cowboy bebop

mainl becuase 1) i like the anime style 2) its funny

i like funny things. my favorite character is edward. mainly cuz SHE reminds me of me a lot

i think im gonna get her tatoooed on me LOL.

sweet....that would be hella hott

im bad with names but i like the guy thats always smoking

LOl seee my avatar? thats her LOL

im thinking of on my left hip, in the front. like part on my stomach

i was thinking on my back but i cant see it back there and i have a friend that has a tat back there that first of all was drawn poorly to begin with (butterfly and lines cross, dont meet at all, completely go over each other etc) and 2.. well she wanted to make it bigger so she put VINES coming out of it? WTF vines out of a butterfly??? anyway i think shes fine with it cuz she never sees the damn thing so im like yeh forget back tattoos.

not to mention her tattoo is completel unoriginal whereas edward just ROCKS!!!!

last..that would be jet :D

BACK to the subject at hand, turn off your TV's slaves.

Spike, hes modeled after bruce lee, and Jeet kun do (dont know if i spelled that right) he makes the show tho, i also like Ein, the dog. Hes cool, all the characters in that show own.

ya thats the guy
ok this is really off subject but arioch are you a dude or a guy?
dont meen to offend

damnit, i always get spike and jet mixed up

there are so many animes i love, many of which im burning LOL but this one im actually gonna dish out the $200 for.....

god im crazy

i had no idea though that he was drawn after bruce lee. thats pretty cool actually. i like to think that faye was drawn after me LOL yeh right. but in edward i really do see myself which is a bit scary. i love watching her though, which is why im not paying so much attention to the episode now

sad that her character is so minor.

need i say, how absolutely HORRIBLE the last episode was? i mean come on i wanted to cry... lol

and no it wasnt horrible but seriosuly i hate when my fav characters die

Edward doesnt die does she?? I thought she just left.


!!spoiler!!






Spike does tho, but he kinda has too, as Vicious is is alter ego and complete equal. You have to admit that the last fight scene was incredible, and completely satisfing. Remember when they both got eachothers weapons and then they stop for a sec. then Spikes like "Julia is dead. Lets end it", and Vicious is like "Alright" (or something not sure what he says) and then they throw eachother their weapons back and keep fighting. FUCKING AWSOME, not to mention spikes death scene, "bang" and the music after that is great, so sad, so fullfilling.

Remember what it says at the end, where it normally says "See you space cowboy", at the last episode it says "Are you gonna carry that weight", fucking hardcore, really makes you think.


We dont have the serious, but we have the Cowboy Bebop The Movie, with Vincent. I was lucky enough to see that in the threaters, i really love that one too. Cowboy Bebop owns.

Evangeleon owns it tho.
My Evangeleon Avatar > Your CowBoy Bebop Avatar:p

Don't think that the ironey of this thread is lost on me. Talkin about TV shows in the "turn off your TV week" thread;)

yes its really funny.....BTW did anyone here watch Chappele Show the other night with wayne brady.....HE OWNED

ya that was goofy shit

Funny as hell, Is wayne brady gonna have ta choke a Bitch

i like the one where eddy murphy is playing basket ball vs. prince.

its eddie murphy's brother.....

BTW IM LIL JON

WHAT!!!
OKAY!!!
YEAH!!!

OMGOMGOMGOMG I CANNOT BELIEVE WHAT I JUST READ

lol. actually, up until recently i didnt care much for anime. but what i'm talking about is the, well this is probably the incorrect term but 'old school' style. you nkow with the big eyes and when they get sad that tear comes up. the mouth thats just an outline.... that st yle just never did it for me

even now i didnt jump at cowboy bebop. i happened to have it on w hen Edward was playing chess against Hex and she was SO hilarious so since then i've been hooked. i also like big o, and to a lesser extent witch hunter robin. i like bebop especially though just becuase of the zaniness. the other 2 are somewhat to serious for my liking.

the end WAS incredible. but doesnt mean it wasnt INCREDIBL INCREDBILY SAD!! seriously i was about to cry lol. i mean come on, i was WAITING for him and faye to hook up.. GRrrr

anyway. ive never seen evangeleon. and if its not on tv, i probably never WILL lol. we have some random japanese type stores carrying anime, ALL run by white men so u know prices are ^^^^^. i could just go straight to japan but im not sure id get the english versions. yes, the japanese versions are supposed to be more accurate or some shit but i LOVED the voices they chose for big o and bebop and would much rather watch than read.

i also watched reign last summer, the peter chung one. i happen to love his shit, although ive only seen that and aeon. actually, ended up buying the reign set :D

and sadly, i missed the chappelle show.. *opens up limewire*

Evangelion owns all over anything else period.

Evangelion = Greatest Anime ever
Cowboy = ehh mildly alright, far from Evangelion though.


SLAVES!

i just like any kind of japanesse anime that has blood and fighting lol
