I'm in love with Tegumi. The funny pictures she posts, her witty sarcasm, her disdain for morons, that tsundere attitude... I consider her to be the perfect woman. I'm too shy to tell her, and scared that my girlfriend will find out I love another woman. Plus I couldn't handle the rejection. So for now I will just admire her from afar in hopes that one day she'll notice me.
Joker from Batman is the greatest villain ever. I would of said that even before all the "why so serious?" fanboys jumped on board after Dark Knight. Batman gets all the greatest villains - almost any of his villains could be the main bad guy for any other hero's story. Sephiroth killed aries so he gets a nod too.
What is the most epic betrayal you ever witnessed in anime or manga?
Mind your spoiler tags.
For me, there was a certain somebody in F/SN...

Ace Attorney is awesome - despite how they fast foward Phoniex Wright into middle age in the last game. Probably wont pick up the ports unless there is extra content though.
But I'm getting Edgeworth's new game the day it comes out. About time the prosecution was the one actually sending people to jail instead of the defense...

Yeah... water can't really disappear... and neither will oxygen... since most of the oxygen comes from alge living on or in the water...

Music gives the "Feel" and passion to movies, games, and etc etc.Without music this world wouldnt be anything more than Environmental sound scape.
This thread falls into one word when you say why does it matter.
Mute~
It is easy to see that music adds "feel" to other media, but the question is why and how?

Personally I'd much rather try to educate the public and politicians before resorting to an armed march.[/quote]
OR.... it could be a peaceful armed march. We all strap ourselves with Assualt rifles and peacefully march down to the white house. The secret service will freak... "Well technically it is within their rights..." "Yeah but the got rocket launchers man!!!"
Rights are like muscles, you got to use em or you lose em.
I think I'd be civilized and so would a lot of others. My first thought would be, "oh shit! Zombies!!!" but then my second thought would be "Okay, lets not panic... we can get through this together people! We've all spent time on the internet discussing how to survive this day!"
I think everyone else would think the same way. The Zombie outbreak would be over fast, and people wouldn't be interested in zombies anymore. Horror films would go back to giant monsters destroying cities.

Buff gay guys seem to be the running joke here lately. I dunno why, but there is now a stereotype of buff naked dudes showing up in Tv a lot.
Nope, there may not be much like for mainstream music or a playback electronic device. However, a person playing a western or classical melody on a recorder (the instrument) or a flute will be able to properly convey if they are playing a happy or negative tune. (James M. Henslin; Essentails of Sociology)
That is one of the mysterious about music - while there is an subjective view, as there is with any art,there seems to be an objective one too.

Just because some wars were masked under the ruse of being in self-defense, it doesn't mean every act of war in the name of self-defense is illegitmate.

As for what Tanis Half-Elven said, I'd have to disagree entirely. What one perceives as sad or happy does not depend on absolute criteria such as the pitch of a note, or a certain chord progression, but the upon social and cultural imprint of a given individual.That is why the same piece of music may be interpreted differently across cultures - or even individuals.
I agree that music does contain a strenght in describing more things in it's own language more "ambiguously". However, that music evokes emotion upon social and cultural aspects is not completely true either. Among all cultures - and even all individuals - there is a universal understanding of certain musics such a "scary" music in a horror film or celebratory music like a parade or wedding. Even different cultures can recognize another culture's music that is meant to envoke "fear" or "celebration" - so culture and sociology does not answer all aspects as to where or what music taps into when we hear it.
Also, any person is able to recognize "quality music" over "generic" music. Not to say everyone knows what is "good and bad" but even a aborigine can tell that Minuet is of higher "quality" than evelator music. The same is true that we can innately tell that a drum beat at a pow-wow is more complicated than a native american woman humming while making dinner. What makes us deside this - regardless of our culture?
Actually, I don't think it is that people get used to it. I don't think the general populace ever cared in the first place. That may be a sad truth, but that is just the way it is with hot topic issues. For all the strong opinions each side may have, the silent majority isn't talking because they aren't listening.
sv51macross you point out to me 2nd amendment violations I would never of heard of or believed if you didn't post about it though. Maybe because I'm from the south, I can hardly imagine anyone taking away our guns. I think the day that happened, there would be many dead Feds - and I say Feds because I think the local police would back us on keeping our guns. Too many hunters down south in love with their guns.

@Tanis Half-Elven LOL:
So are you implying that music evokes emotions based off of the different keys and pitches (and a combination thereof) that the listener hears?
But music does not only consist of notes or keys. There is precusion music which relys only on rythm and beat. Also, there are those that consider sounds like the rain falling or frogs croaking to be music. Native american music can invoke "happy" or "sad" and it does not contain pitches in it. Plus, different music evokes different emotions - such as Canon. I think it is a very somber tune while my girlfriend thinks it is very uplifting. Why is that?

There is something deeply mysterious about music. Why does it affect us so powerfully? Is it like a language, telling us something? A subtle form of communication? Are there universal interpretations of the emotions that various pieces of music expresses? Or does one need to be part of a music "community" in order to appreciate musical expression?
Still, despite it's prevalence in our lives artist and scientist agree on this - we know so little about music, and the more we learn about it the less we know.
Can any sound be considered music? Does it have to be in the right context to be "real" music? And what classifies "good" and "bad music? Or more importantly, "Happy" and "sad" or "funny" and "scary" music?
Let's start by trying to define music and then give your philosophical thoughts on how it plays part in our lives and why it is able to do so.

Other than that, Ash needs to go train. He doesn't give all of his pokemon a lot of chances to gain experience points.Ash doesn't need to train because pikachu is level infinity.
Then explain why he can't beat simple beginner trainers with Pikachu. There have been a few instances this has happened.
Pikachu is like superman. He never unleashes his full strength even when he is losing. Look at the final episode of JLU, superman is like "STFU darksied! I'll kick yo ass when i'm damn well ready Bitch! I've been holding my punches anyways muthafkucer!"
Pikachu has the same mentality. He rather lose then let lose his full power for god knows it may very well destroy the world.

NONE. Gets in your eyes. How the heck am I supposed to drive, my sun visor doesn't go that low!If only there was an occular device that could shield your eyes from the sun... perhaps some glasses that could reduce the amount of sunlight you see... and as an added bonus they might also protect you from UV rays...
Alas, such technology must be years away from being invented.
