Finished watching Eden of the East. Great anime! It had English songs used in its opening and closing themes, which was a first in an anime for me. I Definitely recommend it.

* dropped Naruto

you win at life. anyway, if it's english op and eds, Ergo Proxy, Black Lagoon, and Ghost in the Shell has you covered.

What the hell does Naruto have to do with EOTE? Just try it again, it was good. What did you not like about it?

Kyrdua · « **Reply #25701 on:** April 30, 2011, 10:49:55 PM »

^ nothing, lol. just went to your MAL and saw that you dropped it.

i dropped it too, mainly because it's fucking long and won't seem to be ending anytime now. this is also the main reason i dropped bleach and one piece. though i didn't put those on my MAL's dropped list.

TiYlER · « **Reply #25702 on:** April 30, 2011, 10:56:54 PM »

I have no where near updated MAL to what it should be. Naruto got WAAAAY to long and I lost track of my Otaku life for 2 years (7-9th grade) and so I never started watching Naruto again.

Kyrdua · « **Reply #25703 on:** April 30, 2011, 11:01:07 PM »

^ lol. took me a few hours to put in at least 80% of it back on december 2010.
now, it's up to date because of MAL updater.

so in estimate, how many animes have you watched actually?

*Rumages through Videos\Anime folder
~20 something (that are on my computer ATM)
(Check my join date. That is technically when I started fully enjoying anime [besides the obvious ones that would show on Adult Swim and Toonami])

Kyrdua · « **Reply #25705 on:** April 30, 2011, 11:31:50 PM »

^ 20 plus toonami stuff... i'll just assume 40 something. though this is a little late, welcome, to the world of anime.

Wouldn't the number of days spent be a better indicator of how much anime a person has watched? :/
I mean, do you count an OVA as an anime? Only if it's standalone? What about movies? Does a 24 episode anime count just as much as a 12?
The questions are endless!
I would much rather hear a person's combined view time, mine being 16 days(according to an updated MAL)

Found on the wikipedia article Rationale for the Iraq War

"Divine inspiration
Nabil Shaath told the BBC that according to minutes of a conference with Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas, Bush said, "God inspired me to hit al Qaeda, and so I hit it. And I had the inspiration to hit Saddam, and so I hit him." Haaretz provided a similar translation of the minutes. When an Arabist at the Washington Post translated the same transcript, Bush was said to have indicated that God inspired him to, "end the tyranny in Iraq," instead.

In a 2003 interview, Jacques Chirac, President of France at that time, affirmed that President George W. Bush asked him to send troops to Iraq to stop Gog and Magog, the "Bible’s satanic agents of the Apocalypse." According to Chirac, the American leader appealed to their “common faith” (Christianity) and told him: “Gog and Magog are at work in the Middle East…. The biblical prophecies are being fulfilled…. This confrontation is willed by God, who wants to use this conflict to erase his people’s enemies before a New Age begins.”"

I'm just shocked. Sorry but I don't know that to think about that. The idea that Bush could have tried to convince the French president to go to war because of an alleged Biblical prophecy, it goes to far for me. It just blows my mind.

What do you guys think? Is Chirac lying?

The war tyrant was trying to enlarge his empire using any means possible, the Iraq war says it all, he saw that the city was going to tank at any minute so he sent his troops there to gain control of the area, i'm sure 9/11 played a big role in Saddams quick demise but it looks like the act was just an excuse to gain control of another oil reserve.

It's safe to say that without Bush's intervention Iraq would have been in civil war right now but thanks to his stupid militia it is nothing more than a barren wasteland.

When the rebells do go and set up camp at Iraq what are the American troops now lead by Obama going to do? They better not do something as utterly stupid as trying to play police with a kamikaze nation.

The General Chit Chat Thread eh? Well is it just me or do days just seem to blend with each other in a never ending cycle of shit that just keeps repeating? Am I the only one who finds it hard to find a motivation to get up in the morning, night or whenever it is I wake up? As you can see extreme boredom brought me here. I mostly don't post in the forums unless I have to. But when bored, I do unusual things. <_< So many many useless things run through my mind at the moment. Things like: When will I get out of here? Why are lolis so cute? Where did my uncle hide his vodka? xD Or where is the nail-clipper? >_>
Yea this is a random rambling message. Oh well. Give/Take what you want from it.

Dear god this question again. >_<
All I know is that she is from Touhou. I don't know her name or from which game/manga adaptation she is from. I got the avatar from Enzedder, and made the sig myself from a wallpaper in Konachan or Moe a few months back. All I did to find that, is searched touhou in Konachan and Oreno Imouto (I cant remember which one it is I got it from) And went through all the pages of wallpaper/images on a day I was VERY VERY bored <_<
Enzie.. maybe you can tell him.

Kyrdua · « **Reply #25714 on:** May 01, 2011, 05:57:10 AM »

trying to relearn Java now.

I feel like a dipshit reading through these tutorials. The fact I went through all this basic bullshit 3 years back just pisses me off... but I figured I should stop rage quitting and actually relearn shit so I can help some of my friends program... ugh

kurandoinu · « **Reply #25718 on:** May 01, 2011, 08:36:59 AM »

I still need to do that at some point. Working on a logo for a satirical site about the devil. Lol
