On second thought, it doesn't look like it's worth it. All they're going to do is screen the DVD.
However, there is a petition for Sega and Crypton to do a Project Diva world tour. I already signed, but you can take a look at it if you want.

Bigbadron was a Nazi among Nazis way back when. He would ban people over the slightest infraction just because he didn't like them (i.e. they never sucked his cock). I was one of his victims.

Often times, website rules are not totally clear and mods will interpret them depending on how well they like certain users. I was permabanned from the Clock Crew last January for no stated reason other than "EIGHTYSIXIN DIS BITCH!"
More recently, I had my account "suspended for 30 days" for posting like a sane person on a website run by absolute Nazis. I still have not had my privileges returned.

Care to elaborate?
The recent anti-vaccer craze can be traced back to one man, Andrew Wakefield who, in 1998, published a study that linked the MMR vaccine to Autism.

Operative word: recent.
There has been opposition to mass forcible vaccination since the 19th century, when syphilis was rampant due to mandatory smallpox "inoculation". Most of the literature that exposed "Dr." Jenner for the crock that he was has been lost to history, but the little that remains is highly incriminating.

The study was published in a reputed medical journal which immediately caused a shitstorm. Study after study failed to reproduce Wakefield's results until, in 2007, he was taken to trial for possible professional misconduct.

It was found out that he misreported the results of his study which HE HAD BEEN PAID TO CONDUCT BY LAWYERS REPRESENTING PARENTS WHO THOUGHT THEIR KIDS HAD BEEN HURT BY THE MMR VACCINE.

He has since lost his medical license and the study has been redacted.

Here's a website with a body count and a more detailed history: http://www.jennymccarthybodycount.com/Je nny_McCarthy_Body_Count/Home.html

TL;DR the government shut him up in order to protect their investments.

Did you ever consider the fact that many people who forgo vaccines are not even worried about autism? There are more pressing concerns, such as allergies, asthma, diabetes, other autoimmune disorders, Guillain-Barré syndrome, meningitis and death, just to name a few.

It's not really anime, but it was animated by Toei Animation.

More like Republicans in general.
Some of the supporters of these right-wing groups are highly educated and hold powerful positions in business and politics. Tokyo's controversial governor Shintaro Ishihara is one of these supporters, and has been likened to U.S. Senator Joseph McCarthy for his attempt to rid the Diet of Japanese society's "undesirables", which includes the Burakumin, an ethnic Yamato Japanese group descended from feudal outcasts.
So it's not just foreigners they pick on; there are groups within the natural-born Japanese population that face discrimination.

We still haven't moved past some of the prudish aspects of the Victorian era, when modesty was heavily stressed (so much so that even doctors couldn't examine women's genitalia with their eyes, only by sticking their hand up her dress and looking the other way).

The problem is people actually espouse these ideas in real life.
Ever heard of the Church of Euthanasia? They preach that human existence is the bane of the Earth and demand that human beings not reproduce in order to keep the population numbers down and conserve natural resources.

It does violate human rights as well as cause unnecessary suffering, which sometimes entails permanent disfigurement and death.

Hello. Over the years I have become more natural-minded.
You're right; there are people who go overboard with natural remedies and end up hurting themselves. With any sort of medication, be it natural or artificial, you have to be careful because the excessive use of certain ingredients can prove disastrous. Just because it grows in the ground doesn't mean it can't cause trouble; for example, kava-kava, a plant once recommended by naturopaths as a Tylenol substitute can cause liver damage if used on children.

On Crunchyroll (where Fairy Tail is being simulcast), they have restricted the series to premium (paying) members only. So logically you have to have shelled out quite a sum of money to have seen the series.

Yeah, Acta will probably give more bitching in removing videos from popular channels.

And then some.

Circumcision will end within 5 to 0 years, cause young people now are getting smarter about not forcing tradition on their kids.

Maybe where you're from.
Here, there is pressure from the medical industry to keep the knives and skins flying and the cash flowing. For almost a year now, there has been talk that the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) will issue a statement recommending that all baby boys be circumcised at birth to prevent HIV/AIDS, in response to a set of studies I'm sure everyone here has heard about at one time or another.

Obama administration won't poison our food and farmaceutical companies will cure cancer using legitimate research, possibly involving genetic manipulation and surely animals will be needed, though.

But before that, they'll shoot us up with mercury, squalene, formaldehyde, antifreeze, aluminum, peanut oil, MSG, monkey kidneys, pig viruses and aborted fetuses and claim it'll ward off every disease known to man.

The eggs are actually banned (illegal to sell) in the United States.
There is a food safety law on the books dating back to 1938 that states that non-food items cannot be enclosed within something sold as food. The ban was made official in 1997 with a "recall" on the imported eggs.

Upon reading a few threads in the General forum and many threads and articles on other sites, I have come to this conclusion. Our collective goose is cooked.
ACTA plans to silence any potential government critics by falsely accusing (potential) dissidents of copyright infringement.
The CDC and AAP are prepared to issue a declaration mandating circumcision for all boys at birth.
The Obama administration and Monsanto are actively working to put poisons in our food supply.
Underregulated pharmaceuticals and sadistic medical practices run rampant in our health care system.

I'm overwhelmed by it all. Worst of all, I have nowhere to seek refuge. Should I just kill myself? (I know some people would want me to do so.) Or is there hope? (I doubt it.)
