Which is cheaper?

<< < (4/5) > >>

kitamesume:
i consider anything thats addicting, costs money and gets you ruined "drugs" that includes animes(just look at those poor hikikumori otakus), games(drains your pocket right outa the house), alcohol(this ones gonna kill you eventually), food(not so bad but can get you fat and broke excluding dying from overeating) and so much more.

Edit:woops, bumped an old thread.

Burkingam:
I wanna say anime is less expensive than drug because I don't pay for my anime, I just download it on Internet, but I don't take drug, and I do pay for Internet. So I guess we could say anime are slightly less inexpensive for me.

TMRNetShark:
I think a couple of you guys are on to something here... Let's look at the correlation of drug users compared to anime... uhh... users?

Similarities:

* Disconnect from normal society
* Hours spent while "on" the drug
* The need for always wanting more
* The need to hide it from family members or spouses
* Going against social norms (preference of subs versus using dubs)
Differences:

* You can't smoke anime (as much as I know most people want to smoke Tagia, but you physically CAN NOT)
* Drugs can kill you, or make you lose an arm...
* Only anime makes you curious if you can "rub one out" while watching it... and I don't mean killing a person... :P
* Drugs can make you curious about "rubbing one out" and I don't mean masturbation...
* Watching uncensored hentai is clinically proven to be 8.4 times worse than shooting up... and slander runs you more jail time than smoking weed... soo the moral of the story here is... uhhh... rub one out?

datora:
.
False equivalency.

There is no requirement for anime and drugs to be mutually exclusive.

Given that I could grow my drugs of choice for very cheap (NOT including legal fees should I get caught  ::) ), "experience enhancers" are far cheaper than blu ray collections.

Dunno, man.  First time I plucked one of these lovely flowers out of the morning dew, I had serious urges ...



Had nothing at all to do with harming anyone.  Just sayin' ...  ;) ]

A night out getting drunk usually costs me £70-100.
An 1/8th of half decent coke for the night runs up to ~£60, if you know the right guy (more if you don't, less if you want to snort sawdust).
A draw of skunk is about £25, twice that if you want the best stuff, and it depends on your tolerances but I wouldn't have said it'd last most regular smokers 24 hours (thats 24 hours stoned, not 24 hours where you're at work or asleep for 16 of it).

Tbh, anime still sounds cheaper to me, unless you're one of those fanboys who seeks out the rare hentai crap and then buys the figurine for good measure. I don't think I've spent more than £30 on a season...
