The only way to successfully get rid of religion at this point would be something crazy like removing all memory from it from everyone everywhere. People are too attached to it.Hey, I didn't say it was plausible

Also, it's possible that some people need things that would rationally be considered large scale lies to continue on with their lives. Things like religion as well as concepts of love and universal justice; all the little things people seem to hold on to in life that give meaning to it. Most people could not live with absolute truth, they simply wont accept it, and if they did, they'd just kill themselves.
I agree with you so far. I often compare religion with the matrix. "Some people just aren't ready to be unplugged. Some will even kill to defend it (religion)"

Maybe not true for everyone, but it seems true for most. Of course, the people who live without these lies probably wouldn't consider it such a bad thing if everyone who needed them to live killed themselves or generally gave up on life.
But it would be most of the world.
I like where this train is heading.

And FPOD, if you said that you're an Atheist, as a religious person, then one thing in my mind: "That's normal." Because you believe that you have enough "power" to go on in this world. Hmm... Make sense?You can say I have the "power" to go alone. I say, I don't need a crutch. I don't need to think "Karma/god will equalize the universe" or "God will punish the bad guys". I have a very "Nothing is going to change unless you MAKE it change attitude". God isn't going to help you get a job. YOU have to go out and get a job. That guy stole your girlfriend? Break his nose. That guy stole a lot of money from you? Break his leg. I don't mean solve every problem with violence but, you get the idea. Nobody will get punished for anything unless you MAKE them get punished.
I also don't rationalize my failures or my hardships as "God is testing me". I see it as "I fucked up. Make sure to not do it again"[/quote]

No way, then why was she always so angry everytime I said something sexist. Guys don't get that angry at guys who tell guy jokes. And she(he) definitely held a grudge against me.Maybe he/she was "sensitive"?

most television shows are paid for by advertising dollars, the rest is just gravy... and since it's licensed the "artits" have already received their "cut" so in reality the only person benefiting is the store you buy it from and the big man who sold it to the stores.It may be a shit deal but the artist get their money one way or another, don't worry.
The amount of money going back to the original company is minimum at best
If you guy a dvd at a store. The store gets it's $25 but, in reality it only paid $20 for the dvd from the original company. The original company only took them $15 to make the dvd. So..the original company got it's $5 the store get it's $5 and you are out $25.
As Waar already said T.V. shoes are paid for by advertising dollars. Ever wonder why "24" has a bigger budget than NCIS? 24 is more popular thus more advertising dollars go to them which gives them a bigger budget.
While I generally have nothing against Yaoi. I feel that I must vote against it. Normally, I would be fine with it but, the demographic that would be attracted would include a VERY annoying group.

Welcome to Fakku Investigates
Today we shall investigate the dreaded "Yaoi Fangirl".
"Yaoi Fangirls" are girls that are rabidly obesessed with yaoi. some yaoi pairings are: sasunaru (naruto), roy/ed (FMA), kaworu/shinji (NGE), miroku/inuyasha (InY), yuki/shuichi (gravitation), and many, many more.
If one happens to enter the vicinity of a yaoi fangirl. Do not mention certain shows with disdain around them. One will be clawed, or at the very least, never seen from again. Though, if one treads around carefully, one will survive an encounter with a yaoi fangirl with relatively few scars...that are physical. Psychologists should be standing by.
The best possible method when dealing with a "Yaoi Fangirl" is to avoid them at all costs. If you are caught by surprise by a yaoi fangirl or worse a group of them. Remember to never criticize ANY anime in any way shape or form. If you do accidentally set them off. I'm sorry but, kiss your ass goodbye.

As I said there will be no positive outcome unless religion itself is destroyed.I view religion through a Durkheimian lens. Society begins with religion; religion is a primary reality. So, religion is the encounter of society with an ideal; religion simultaneously creates and gets created by society. It is created by community as the symbolic self-manifestation of its own depth; and in turn religion creates the community, since it teaches the members common values, initiates the new generation into the living tradition, and confronts the entire community with the highest ideals present in its history and thus acts as an impetus for social change and renewal. In fact, he wrote that one "[cannot] be a social being, that is to say, he could not be a man, if he had not acquired [religion].”
It's just that, to reiterate, culture and historical conflict change the practice of organized religion; something pure can be corrupted. :(
Sounds like convoluted nonsense. I see religion as a tool that explained that which couldn't be explained in any other way. Modern Day religion I see as a mental disorder. A mass hysteria if you will.

As of this century religion serve no purpose in my eyes. Any "morals" that people claim that only religion can teach us (such as not stealing, killing,etc) we can teach our children to do because it's the right thing.
When I think of religious people I can only think of 1) the people who shout me down because I'm an Atheist. 2) the people who want to stripe away my rights for being an Atheist and not one of "god's children" 3) the people who want me to live on my knees with my face in the dirt and pray to their god otherwise they will kill me.
Without Islam or Christianity there wouldn't be a "holy war" no "Jihad". No suicide bombers because "Allah will reward them", no abortion clinic bombings. The list goes on and on. In my eyes the world would be a lot better if religion was abolished

Because the different of the power between the booms used by Israel, and the rockets used by Hamas. Different power can attract symphathy.Also, Mulsim is spread too much in the world, not like Judaism. With this condition, "religion" can raised their voice. Also, on what "some" Muslim usually think, "We Defend our Religion"...
Something bad really happen here in Indonesia. Some Stupid Muslim blockade American restaurant, goods supplies from U.N., and roads.. I know, this is a clasic move that they always do whatever happen to other Muslim in this world, but this is really disturbing.
Ah yeah, some muslim here also want to join this war, to help Palesninian. No wonder, because they are already brainwashed by something like Hamas here, it's called FPI that always destroy and destroy whatever to "Protect the religion". It's just like Al Kaeda, or Hizbolla, or whatever, if they exist in your country.
Interesting to say the least. People around me often wonder why I view religion with such disdain.
Though with methods that they (muslim extremists) have been using in France and various other areas around Europe to basically make the stupid/uneducated side with them. I remember reading a while back about the ten steps that some terrorist or sympathizer gave out as a way to non-violently take over the world. Basically, use our freedoms and ways against us. Due to past events and the information I know I can't see a positive outcome to this without massive bloodshed. Though unlike a standing army that can be met in the battlefield. We will have groups that will live amongst us then attack. As I said there will be no positive outcome unless religion itself is destroyed.

What's up with this Chuu!!? What did he do anyway?Posted a thread about his plans to kidnap and rape his friends sister, along with other shit.
Don't forget the time he said he would blackmail (or was it ruin) a little kid for shooting him in the face with a rubber band.
Don't forget the fact that he was the heir to the troll kingdom.

Well in light of this information. I think I'll retract my attempt for Nemu. As I didn't know those ladies existed. So for list purposes I'll remain with only two waifu for the time being.
Edit: ugh, fuck it. I'll stick with Nemu. I'll use rounds 4-5 to grab others after I watch the respective anime.

The Hamas = cowardly flies. Yet Israel's response constitutes the raising of a sledgehammer that also destroys the innocent in its pathway, and harms others indirectly, while giving rise to greater enmity from the Middle East.
The Hamas needs to be extirpated, true-- but not like this. Palestinians are people too.
Hamas buries itself amongst the population. They don't act as a standing army. They wear civilian clothing during their attacks. So what is Israel supposed to do? Israel tells the target ahead of time when it will launch an attack. It repeatedly warned Hamas to stop firing rockets otherwise it would retaliate. Now, that Israel is tired of being Hamas's punching bag the world condemns Israel for trying to protect it's people.
Palestinians may be human too but, the majority protect Hamas. They send their children to be soldiers in Hamas. Civilians store weapons, ammunition in their homes, their schools, their hospitals for Hamas. Clerics store the same things in their mosques. The schools and mosques in Palestine teach their children that the Israeli people are murders who should be killed to the last man. Thus they should be treated as members of Hamas. They should share the same fate as Hamas.
It's not like Israel doesn't want peace but, Hamas and other Palestinian groups have constantly broke any agreements. Nobody should shed a tear for the Palestinian people. They choose to elect Hamas as their representative government knowing full well that Hamas wants to destroy Israel. If you want to talk about the poor conditions in Palestine you can blame Hamas for its ineffective and downright pathetic attempts at infrastructure. It's economic situation can be blamed on the trade embargoes against it due to it's decision to refuse to accept Israel as a state.

I wouldn't say it's that unpopular... >.>Although, would Nemu really be considered an introverted bibliophile?
Not really but, I only know of three bibliophiles in anime. Nagato Yuki, Tabitha and Yomiko Readman (though she is just shy rather than introverted). Since I can't snatch Yuki I went with Nemu due to the introverted "emotionless" quality. Though if rules permit I may divorce her if I come across someone that is better suited before the 4th round starts (if it ever comes)

she was created by kurostchi and has been poisnd all over making sex a very dangerous thing indeed 0_0I thought she was poisonous on the inside, not on the outside. Either way, she carries antidotes for various poisons on her person. I assume she would know which poisons are in her body so she could provide an antidote ahead of time.

Hamas is the real criminal here, he's letting the civilians die just so that he can survive and continue to hide like a wuss. The Jerk! IF he was playing halo3 i bet he'll be in hidden league gamer something.Hamas isn't a person. It's an organization with several "branches". Each in different areas from Charity (accepting donations mostly), politics (the Hamas political party. Considered a fundamental extremist group what is common in the middle east), the terrorist aspect and a few others.

Lucky Star is one of those series where personal opinion is all that matters. Some shows are good, despite personal opinion; they're usually called "classics" and the only people who don't like them are trolls trying to start a fight. Then there are of course duds, which are horrible and shouldn't be viewed by anyone.A lot of series either fit into one of the two categories or swing closely to one or the other. Lucky Star is a series that takes a shit on both categories and is impossible to define.
You might as well flip a coin whenever you meet someone, and that will tell you whether they'll love Lucky Star or hate it.
But even if a person doesn't like watching the show, he'll usually like the characters, because they're fun and cute. You can hate Lucky Star but love Konota.
Personally, I enjoyed the series, but as it went on, it did get harder to watch. Every time I thought about watching an episode, I would think to myself, "Okay, nothing's going to happen, and there are going to be some jokes I like and some jokes I don't like. Do I feel like wasting half an hour?" But I was watching the series in bulk, with all the episodes on my computer. I think watching one episode a week would be much better.
The point is, it's all about personal opinion. If a person says they didn't like Gundam 0079, I'll get pissed and ask them to explain themselves before I pop a cap in their ass. That's to be expected. But if a person says they don't like Lucky Star, I immediately understand. The person doesn't have to give a single bit of explanation, because I can already think of a ton of reasons why a person wouldn't like the show. But it's not a bad show, because I can also think of a ton of reasons why a person would love the show.

Sadly, The UN lacks teeth, so they do a poor job at enforcing resolutions. Meanwhile, Israel has restricted food, medicine and other supplies to the strip as a way of trying to starve out Hamas members, but as you can imagine, this is having a terrible effect on the rest of the population (there's about 1.5 million people living in Gaza). While I agree on the fact that the U.N. lacks any real ability to enforce resolutions. I disagree on the restrictions of food, medicine and other supplies. Either earlier today or late yesterday (I forget the difference in time between here and there) they opened up the boarders and sent in truckloads of food, and medical supplies.
Something I would like someone to answer is: Why does Hamas a known terrorist group get sympathy over the bombings when Israel has been bombed and attacked repeatedly for decades and barely anybody even raised their voice? Can somebody please explain this to me?
Hamas has already stated that they will not agree to a new ceasefire.
