    Every human looks like a monkey if you look at them real closely

    Interesting observation I've noticed. But Human Beings are evolved bipedal primates afterall, that's why they call the human race Homo Sapiens. But sometimes I wonder if true "beauty" actually exists. I mean, every human monkey is 2 eyes, a nose, and a mouth when you come down to it. I think the...

    Spring 2010: Place your bets...er views

    Serious question: with Japanese anime companies ability to produce so many different shows (and many with such out-of-left field concepts), how the heck do they manage to produce a profit? Cause a lot of those shows look extremely niche, I highly doubt most of those shows will have a lot of...

    If you had to pick.

    Are anime/manga spin off works/merchandise sexist to women or not?

    Hmmm, I'm going to chime in with my own 2 cents. I've been to Japan before, and for anyone who thinks Japanese women are "docile/subservient" or are neutered or whatever, that is simply not true. Japanese women really act no different from women anywhere else; there's plenty of strong-minded...

    Agree: NBA/NFL hardest sports to reach the pro's at, but MLB/NHL the easiest?

    But soccer is so un-American J/K :D Soccer is also difficult to reach the "top" leagues at, like those in Europe, cause soccer is the most popular sport on the planet. So you have the most kids playing the sport. Maybe not in America, but certainly in Europe, South America, and across Asia...

    Agree: NBA/NFL hardest sports to reach the pro's at, but MLB/NHL the easiest?

    Scenario: Let's say you had a kid. If you were to pick one of those 4 sports for your kid to one day become a pro at (longshot, I know, but bear with me), wouldn't MLB or NHL be the most realistic options? I'm thinking of a major MLB pitcher like Tim Lincecum who has your typical college...

    TMNT Talkback "Turtles Forever" (Spoilers)

    This was an awesome movie. I randomly caught it on TV, and at first, I was like "What is this?" But the homages to the first 80's cartoon, and then the original Mirage comic... as Michaelangelo would say, COWABUNGA!!!

    Having dreams that you're constantly back in school?

    Yes, had this last night about my high school days, even though I've long since graduated from college.

    Will the web make colleges obsolete?

    The only real point of college is the prestige factor, so if the Ivy League & other similar prestigious universities like Stanford allow their names to be placed on online-degrees, then maybe I can picture some future 18 year old in Nepal taking all his classes online. But I would imagine the...

    About World Population Growth...Food for Thought

    Another huge problem is the Earth is not evenly populated. You have sparce places like Idaho, then highly congested urban centers like New York City. I don't know who decided that all the good paying jobs have to be in highly congested metropolitan areas, but a big thumbs down to that...

    Revised Formula, One in Six Americans in Poverty

    I agree with everything Hobbes829 said. The standard for "poverty" in America is too lenient. I think there's a huge difference between true poverty (not being able to afford food, shelter) and "lower class." Many poor Americans are lower class. Obviously they're not going to be able to afford...

    Who is better at dubbing another country's cartoons: Japanese or English VAs

    Ooh boy, this sounds like it'll turn into another dub vs. sub war or something along those lines whenever you bring Japanese vs. English-type arguments into this. But with that said, I do have one complaint about English VA's: All the companies seem to use the same ones! I swear, there must be...

    What do you think of an Asian version of The Cleveland Show?

    Not to mention movies like "Kung Fu Panda" that play on the whole Asian mystical kung-fu mystique. But I wouldn't mind seeing an Asian version of The Cleveland Show, but it'd have to be handled by the right people. I don't think Seth McFarlane does Asian characters right, just from the few Asian...

    What's your height?

    Yeah I think that was a typo. There's no way any healthy person can be 6'11 & 110 pounds. That's even skinny for a person who's 5'1, never mind someone who's almost 2 feet taller.
