Rant time .. yay
Jul. 15th, 2004 05:38 pmAppearently my friend Bret thinks I should rant on here instead of to him .... >.> <.< Eh. Fine. Here I go. -.-
Topic 1: Bush
I hate him. Why? Because he disapproves of gay marriages. I don't know where I stand on it but it sounds like he hates gays or something. He was fucking DISSAPPOINTED when the ban didn't go through. What the hell? If he can't accept ALL types of people, then he just shouldn't fucking be in office. If I could vote (I'm 17 people...) I'd vote for Kerry. He seems better than Bush anyway. On the subject of the war ... eh. That's a rather picky subject and I'm not gonna go too much into that because I know I'm gonna piss off a LOT of people. -.- so .. if you want to know what I think on that ... e-mail or IM.
Topic 2: Dubbing of Animé
Yep, I hate this too. Because of all the STUPID jokes and the butchering of many good shows. DragonBall Z? FUNimation REALLY did it's best to fuck this one up. But there are a lot of people out there who hate DBZ anyway .. so eh. Yu-Gi-Oh is not meant for kids damnit. Trigun? It's ok. But that's ALL it gets .. is an OK. Why? Because it could've been better. And shows like Yuu Yuu Hakusho .. ruined by dub .. IT WAS BETTER WHEN IT WAS ON ADULT SWIM. >< Why move it? WHY?! Gundam Seed is just as bad. I say, if you can't dub it correctly, then don't do it at all. Release it to DVD FULLY UNCUT and don't throw in any stupid ass jokes and show it how it was MEANT to be showed.
Topic 3: Juno and other phony ISPs like it
.... I could just leave a LONG stream of swear words over and over here. But I won't. Juno is shit, plain and simple. Anything for $9.95 a month that claims to have the BEST internet ever but you get cut off every 4 hrs or you have some horrible banner... isn't worth a penny. Why do I use Juno? Because I can't afford anything else right now. If I had known that Juno was the shit it is, I would've stuck to being internetless for another 3 months ... or atleast tried to get something DECENT (and kick ass, according to Bret...) like Cox Cable's High Speed. But nooooooo I was so eager to get back ... bah. I swear ... one of these days, I'll be gone for like 5 weeks because I told a Juno employee off and they suspended my account or something. >.> <.<
Topic 4: Censorship
I guess this goes in with Anime dubbing but whatever. Censorship is going too far ... ok so most of us probably saw Janet Jackson's breast on TV during the Superbowl (aww ... I missed it. haha) and I'm sure we've all heard/seen the famous Britney and Madonna kiss (or was it Christina and Madonna ... whatever). Know what I say on censorship? We are exposed to that kind of stuff every day. Look at the news, they cry over stuff like at the Superbowl but they show people dead on the news? They show carbombings on the news. The world isn't a nice place all the time and we cannot shield kids forever. I agree, kids are too young to hear "swear words" but if they hear it at school and see it when they watch the news or whatever ... why censor at all? It's just trying to prolong the obvious. Just stop. Oh ... why do people censor porn? WHY? It's PORN you do not CENSOR that. AT ALL. Don't censor porn ... just don't show it.
I think I'm done now. Please add comments if you have something to add or say. Thank you.
Oh ... here's a funny quote from IRC:
