Quote by shoujoboyI tend to believe
that a good part of the community that actively takes part in that section do a
bad job at representing their various camps. It's very hard to maintain my cool
at times when speaking with some of these others, but your willingness to hear
all things even with your own set of beliefs is a welcome change to an otherwise
lackluster religion section.
On this, we agree. The state of things there often frustrates me as well. I
sometimes try to figure out whether I am more annoyed by others making
ridiculous or ignorant claims about my religion, or by those of close religious
beliefs who seem to know about as much as the others and can't make an
intelligent point.
Quote by shoujoboyAs of this point, I
give up ever trying to understand a single damn word you say. Sometimes I can
make out some kind of point, but that's rare. Instead I'll just provide the
community with "The Guide to Life: Priincess Edition".
God created man, woman and beast. He created them as they are today no questions
asked. Even though evidence on his existence is severely lacking, his existence
is true. Live your life by exactly what the Bible says... even though some of it
isn't literal, you kind of have to figure that out. The 10 commandments are
supreme, gays shouldn't marry, there's no such thing as evolution, scientists
are liars... OH GOD MY BRAIN HURTS!
Thank you and good night.
LOL to that, shoujoboy.
Well, I predicted - from my track record as well as with others' - that your
discourse with priincess would end something like this. Nothing gets through
that girl's head except her religion.
Looks like you finally discovered what I discovered a long time ago; its near
impossible to convince Christians in the Religious and Science boards that their
beliefs are flawed.
Its a fruitless argument to be honest, considering how "religion is serious
business". Anyway, I'm bored and up for some intelligent conversation so do
drop me a message when you have the time and I'm sure I'll have fun playing
Devil's advocate some way or the other.
Why do you have to watch out for me? Sure, I might come in and say something
negative about a review, but so what? I'm like a dog with no teeth. Sure I can
bark a lot but it isn't as if I can bite you. I'm just a lowly member who can
come in a shake my cane at you, but not like I can do anything about it.
Awww, don't describe yourself like that. We enjoy all your cane-shaking moments
in the reviews. Well, I do. The review section wouldn't be as better and lively as
it is now without you two.
Don't ever stop shaking your cane, shoujoboy. They boost my morale to write
better. I'm really sorry if I offended you in some ways.
Quote by shoujoboyOk, ok... I gotta cut
ya some slack now. After dealing with the countless threads of that LVman, I
just gotta step back and say "Damn". What is the over/under on him
posting another eerily similar to the ones we've already
seen?
I have no idea, not the first time I've dealt with this sort of thing. Most
likely won't be the last either. Just another day in the life of a mod.
(Examples: DBZ, InuYasha)
If you suddenly get the urge to try to go SSJ4... well, feel free to it... but
I'm sure you can't fly... and you're likely to burst a blood vessel.
Or, if you feel like you're the reincarnated guardian of a sacred jewel... you
start shooting mutant animals (demons) with a bow, don't blame me for being
incarcerated for animal cruelty.
There was actually a guy in my school years ago who thought he was Goku. So much
so, people actually started to call him that. He would walk around with his
chest puffed out and his arms out like he was trying really hard to be buff. He
wore DBZ shirts everyday (cause I guess as Goku he needed to self-promote). And
I kid you not, while waiting at the bus stop one day, someone asked him to
summon a spirit bomb. He stood there with his hands in the air for like 10
minutes.
You know, that reminds me of this middle aged guy with a receeding hairline who
always came to work in his Highlander jacket (even in summer). He'd strut around
like he was "all powerful" and was going to kill us all in a
heartbeat... the guy just looked like an idiot. Makes me laugh just to think
about it.
There are some people who are just too funny by themselves. They don't need any
help.
Btw, how old was the kid? If he was younger its not so bad, but if he was in
High School... ...perhaps he wanted attention?
watch everything I mean up to 12 then make your judgment.
Quote by shoujoboy
All I had to do was watch through the second part before I knew he was full of
crap. Sure, he does sound like he knows something we don't, but any good science
fiction writer could come up with that stuff too. But here is where he shot
himself in the foot. He said these extraterrestrials had no crime then went on
to talk about their court system. How you couldn't lie because everyone had ESP.
Why then would a court system be necessary if there was no crime? Once you
contradict yourself, you lose all credibility.
This subject links to a number of movies and animation. Where did the directors
get their ideas? Nothing comes out of nothing it's always based on self
experience. I think that I leaped too fast I should have started with the
basics. So I understand why you consider it full of crap anyway I
tried.
Truth be said I AM feeling rusty. Not just feeling, I slowly rusting away. I had
the feeling that its beginning to deteriorate early this year but naaaaaah, I'm
not going to use that as an excuse for this time's review.
Yes, I realised that there are lots of errors. I edited some parts of the review
now and hopeful its not too obvious.
Thank you for the feedback, shoujoboy! I will try
to improve on my writing skills, and yeah, like they say "Watch out for
shoujoboy or jakulito!"
Quote by shoujoboy1. What the holy hell
is Kiniro no Corda? I'm a colossal dork who gets burned by the sun in 3 seconds
flat, and I have absolutely never heard of this show?
2. Don't you hate writing reviews for shows that are average? Finding words to
portray the middle road is so much more difficult than "it was
amazing" or "it sucked hard". I personally know I am terrible at
reviews that hang around in the middle.
3. What the holy hell is Kiniro no Corda?
Uh... by definition? A total crap ass of an anime I spent watching three days on
my ass which revolves around nothing but a male harem and music. Um, do take my
advice and stay away from this series. Seriously. I have this ominous feeling
that if you ever watched it, and intended to review it, a heavy mass butchering
would explode.

Wow, for a crap ass anime to get middle of the road scores... I'd really hate to
see you write a review of a show that you threw some 1's and 2's at. I'll take
your advice and not watch the show, that I had no idea existed until
today.
I don't think I've ever watched an anime that deserves a 1 or 2 though. Yeah,
maybe some 3's or 4's... but 1... *shakes head* if it sucks that much, I
wouldn't even bother reviewing it in the first place.
Quote by shoujoboyYou beat my comment
on that review by 51 seconds. It's good to see that my comments have gotten to
the point where they deserve warnings.
Lol, hope you didn't take that comment the wrong way! I lurk in the review
section and I gotta say that your comments are always a pleasure to read
Quote by shoujoboyI have to know, is it
really moderating the community that you care about or just the title of
moderator? It honestly seems to me that you love flaunting that colored name of
yours more than you actually care to keep the community clean. Seriously, unless
the person just blatantly did somehting stupid, I usually just give friendly
reminders, as was the case in the return thread. She didn't seem to have a
problem with me simply telling her that so why did you? To be honest, I'd think
that instead of coming through deleting posts and accusing of mini-modding,
you'd want to instead reinforce my message with the fact that you are a mod.
Besides, I've reported far more threads than I used to after your last mini-mod
accusation, I just figured this one didn't deserve that kind of
treatment.
If you think I only care about this title you are wrong. I didn't become a mod
just to have the power, I actually care about this site which is why I still
come here daily.
Now as for your comment. There wasn't a problem in the past since you were only
trying to help members. I actually wish more members would step forward and
help, but that doesn't happen. My problem with your post was that it sounded a
little too condescending. It was helpful don't get me wrong, but I just felt it
didn't come off as a friendly reminder. It sounded more like a here's the rules
learn them post.
Perhaps I saw more then there really was, if that's the case then I'm sorry. I
will say though I have seen what mini-modding has done to other sites. I'm not
about to let that happen here. As far as not backing you up on your point, I've
already stated why. I will back up any member if they are genuinely trying to
help others. If I feel they aren't and are just trying to get browny points (I'm
not saying you are but some members have tried in the past) then I will correct
them.
Quote by shoujoboy"Why does it
feel like, somebody's watching me?" Children of the 80's better get a
catchy tune in their heads after reading that line. I was born in 83... one year
before the song and I know it, so you have no excuse 80's kids.
Anyway on to your... uh problem. It's obvious you believe in ghosts, which makes
the problem more difficult to address. I personally don't, so it's kind of a
foreign problem to me. I guess you are certain that it isn't some human at this
point right? Is there any reason you'd be paranoid right now, like something
that recently happened that would have you on edge? Is there a reason you'd
believe there was a ghost or spirit following you, like someone you knew or
something?
To be honest it seems like you have a Boogieman problem. Nearly everybody as a
kid was afraid of monsters under the bed or the closet, so we had those things
that protected us. In my case it was a nightlight, because monsters don't mess
with nightlights. That being said, what exactly wards away ghosts besides
ignoring them? Just find something that makes you at all comfortable, even if
it's maybe sleeping in the same bed as a relative until the fear subsides.
That's really all you can do.
That is of course if someone claiming to be the ghost whisperer comes in here
with different advice. If they do, just ignore it...
seriously.
Thank you for you input and advice. I apology for the late reply. You were right
I do believe in ghost, after all it is part of my culture belief. It has been
two days that feel I have is gone. At first I try to ignore it, but it got worse
to point where I hear some one or something call out my name. Good thing I
didn't respond because in my culture if you hear some one or something call out
your name. u not suppose to respond because if you do. they know that you know
there. In other words it make them essay access to control you body or follow
you. Anyways thanks again.
Quote by shoujoboy
I appreciate your input, and it's that kind of rational discussion that I was
looking for with this topic. I was more than aware of the fact that there would
be a great deal of people who likely had no way of changing their beliefs, but
it was interesting to see that was not only true of those who are religious, but
also of those who are not. Ultimately I wanted insight into why people thought
the way they did and to get a better idea of whether or not it was strength of
belief or just people being stubborn. I'd say it's a combination of both at this
point. Regardless, you put across good points without flaming others as many
members in this board typically do.
Oh, well thank you again ^^ Like I said I don't usually participate in those
discussions, but I thought the topic you made was an interesting one. I was also
interested in the answers of people who didn't have the same beliefs I did.
Thanks for letting me participate.
Nah, I'm not the flaming type...flaming is just another case of people not
really thinking ^^'
Quote by SulibresWhen I get a brain
transplant, my beliefs will change.
These are the kinds of comments that scare me. The fact that there is no
conceivable way to convince you that your way of thinking is wrong, is the type
of thinking that creates extremism and hate. Were I to have been your parent, I
could have taught you that all black people want to steal and rape. I could have
drilled that into your head and made you believe it. And beings that your belief
is absolute, nothing would be able to convince you that you were wrong in your
thoughts aside of a brain transplant? I guess no matter how much logic, proof or
discussion some people just assume they are right.
Hey, it was just a joke. Lighten up; I always believed you were the humorous
kind. To be honest, changing my beliefs would require, like you stated; logic,
proof, discussion, reasoning as well as events which turn everything I
understand and know upside down.
I was a former Roman Catholic until I found that whatever questions I asked
(Where does God come from, who made God, etc,etc) were brushed aside. As I grew
older, the notion of worshiping a man crucified to a cross (quite...gory and
sick if you ask me) became rather morbid and disturbing.
So I quit my religion and once my peers discovered my abandonment I received
more and more calls from them asking me to return or downright condemning me to
Hell and saying Jesus would punish me for I am a grave sinner. Then it struck
me; I was, according to them, to be persecuted by Jesus! The one man who would
have known anything and everything about persecution.
How's that for irony? Oh well; you can't have everything in life but at least
you still get your good moments. Vice may go punished and virtue unrewarded but
being the greedy little human beings we are, we'll find ways to reward
ourselves.
yo. sorry to hear about that kinda stuff. i don't know what it's like to go
through any of that stuff myself. you're not getting pity or sympathy but you do
have my regards man.
Quote by shoujoboyWell I'll leave it up
to you guys how you want to handle my info on this page. We have inactive
members still in the group and still up in the top, but at least they are still
confirmed alive. My reviewing and MT days are done so I guess a confirmed loss
can be done away with. Either way, I'm on Yahoo under shoujo_boy (Jak already
knows this) so keep in contact (if you actually care to). Keep representing MT
Review crew in that oh so defunct review section and remember; "What is
popular is not always good. What is good is not always popular."
Out.
Mate, I wish you well in whatever endeavours your future takes you and I'm sure
your ongoing critiques will be missed.

Quote by shoujoboyAzumanga Daioh was a
funny series to me. Not funny haha, but funny in how it could go from hilarious
to laborious over time. Initially I thought the humor in it was hilarious, but
as the same jokes were recycled and I was on the third school festival, I found
myself completely out of it. Having your hand randomly bitten by a cat = funny.
Having your hand bitten 1000 times by the same cat = not
funny.
Fair point. I agree with your point about the anime being recycled, but the
manga has slight differences with the different years (as in different events
being portrayed). As for being bitten by the same cat 1000 times, someone must
be obsessed with trying to pet it and not learning from a painful experience. I
agree it got a bit tedious by the end, but one could not help but hope that
things would turn out well.
Quote by shoujoboyFun fact, this series
sits at 95th all time... on my personal list consisting of 109 series. Yes, that
is a fun fact, fun because I'm an idiot that keeps lists, a fact in that my
reality is the only one that needs to matter.
Wow, you have a list of your favourite anime? That is impressive (and you are
not an idiot - just organised and you
have well-ordered priorities). I am impressed as my preferences tend to change
at will and I doubt I could derive a list as comprehensive as yours.
Quote by shoujoboyOh and you get no
actual comment on the makeup of your review, but that's because I'm
simultaneously commenting and surfing for dirty pictures, and my time has simply
run out.
Fair enough. I doubt there's anything more you could say that you haven't
already said previously - so I'll take that as a compliment. Besides, you had
your priorities and only a limited time to do them in - so multi-tasking was a
bonus.
Quote by shoujoboy
I don't know how many of my past reviews you've read, but I almost always have
an opening paragraph that has very little to do with the review itself. It's my
way of setting the tone of the review with either some kind of humor or history.
I just like to write loose and freeflowing so it's more conversational than it
is an essay. I will chalk your opinion of that style up as "Do not
like." Ha!
nope, that's the first one I read. Well, it's a rather interesting style but
don't like it a single bit...what you said :P
hey, i apologize for what I said to you in jakulito's thread.
I thought that you were dead serious about that joke *i can hardly say it's a
joke since you used foul words against me*
at the same time, i wanna thank you
I suppose you aren't used to my sense of humor. "English mother f***er, do
you speak it" is a line used by Samuel L Jackson in Pulp Fiction. I guess
for those who may not have seen the movie, know my sense of humor or that I'm
friends with Jak might have been confused. I do, however, think I was at a
disadvantage from the start. I saw Jak's guestbook and saw that you already had
a negative view of me... calling me a bully and even gay. I'm not sure if those
opinions were just borne of anger or if I had previously done something to you
that would lead you to that kind of conclusion. I don't recall ever having much
interaction with you in the past, so I'm not sure where you would have drawn
those types of conclusions. Either way, what's done is done.
that's why i'm asking for your forgiveness. i'm really, really sorry about that.
i didn't mean to say those words. i just got annoyed but got ashamed in the end
after knowing that it's just a misunderstanding. please don't mind those words,
the world heck knows you're not one of the "association"
one more thing, i don't know that movie since i'm not a fan of samuel L. jackson
and, by experience, guys call me mother f*****, bitch, so on and so forth when
they bully me or whenever i treat them like a stinkin' trash *like when they
want me to edit their mistakes in a quiz and i didn't*
once again, i'm really, really sorry. i won't do it again
