Rant time .. yay

[okageryuu]

Appearently 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:

[05:50:17pm] DragonAtma - "Today Lesbian forces invaded...no, sorry, that should be Lesbianese." -- From a news report in UK, on a Lebanese conflict.

Alot of dub jobs the suck on anime is becaaaaause...

It's on kid's networks. They dub it to suit the target audience, and, make more cash thuswise.

It's capitalism, ruining everything again, now, this wouldn't happen in a socialist country..

Topic 1: I hate Bush too, but not just for his gay marriage thing (that's not even one of the big reasons why I hate him.) Wanting to drill for oil in Alaska, going to war with Iraq and putting together all these crappy plans to take away peoples' rights and make the US a crappy country... all without even caring what the people of the country think. Ugh, I hate him.

Topic 2: You forgot Digimon! The first season of Digimon was just awful when it came to crappy little jokes/puns. Ugh, it made me wanna kill the head writer of DIgimon that put them all in there. -.-

Topic 3: I dunno about Juno, my old dialup ISP (Mosquitonet) was actually really good, for about $15 a month I believe. But from how you put it, Juno sucks. Indeed.

Topic 4: Censorship. I hate it, it's stupid. These uptight parents that want to shield their children are doing more harm than good. When these kids turn 18 and get put into the real world, they'll just be shocked. Kids need to know about stuff like sex, drugs and violence, otherwise when they eventually encounter it on their own, they'll be at a -HUGE- disadvantage. I don't even think swearing around children is bad, 'cause they'll be exposed to it sooner or later. (The earliest I remember those words was when I was like, 7, so it really doesn't matter.) I don't think censorship should be up to companies (like TV, radio or video game companies), it should be up to the parents. Or there should be like, settings on TVs and such that'll censor or uncensor things so parents who want to control it, can. *shrugs*

We all need to plan a take over, kick Bush out, put in a communistic goverment, which we'd have control over censorship, and, take it all away, re-dub the first season of Digimon so it isn't crappy, and, execute every employee that make sJuno the crap itis.

Heh, if Bush is re-elected... I can definately see a revolution going on. I swear, this country is like an aristocracy. The rich have all the power, and get richer, while the poor are defenseless and get poorer. The people will revolt if things continue this way, I just know it. "Unemployment levels are high! Lets bring in some foriegn workers to take the very few jobs that are available!". Bush is the worst thing that could happen to this country, but there are so many people that are just too stupid to see that...

[okageryuu.livejournal.com]

Yes, Bush is evil. :/ How about one of us runs for president later on and like .. we ban all bad dubbings unless they are uncut and put on a channel that ISN'T on satelite. >.> I'd like that
