You see the nazis would never let him in. The nazis were all about filtering out what they deemed to be "inferior" Not Jewish, not gay, not having a mental illness, not gypsy, not inclined to speak out against the nazis, not Jehovah's witnesses, not a twin, not being white. They called it "Eugenics" I call it "Übercracker" I can say that, I'm German. That type of thing should never happen again.

Saying:''Barack Obama is a nazi'' isn't an argument...
Oh and what you said that it's a bad argument because the nazis would have never let him in, is pretty stupid too. You shouldn't take it too literal.
I completely agree with it being stupid, since Obama doesn't have ANY characteristic of that of a nazi.
But your argument saying it is a dumb statement, is kind of dumb.

I wish you knew what you were talking about but you really don't. I have spent my whole natural life having to take shit from The Republican Party to have an exceptional understanding of them and I can tell you they are truly xenophobic, idiotic and arrogant enough to truly, honestly, literally believe such a statement to be true. I know. The Republican Party is the most xenophobic, idiotic and arrogant party on this planet called Earth with the exception of one: The Third Reich. Next time try actually reading the previous pages of a thread like you should if you had you would know this is a debate thread.

This has been used against porn, video games comic books, rap rock and roll, crime novels, movies, TV etc. etc. etc.

Also used in porn with the implication that 'men are idiots who will think most women behave like strippers/are sex objects if they ever watch strippers'.

It's so head smackingly stupid

Well met indeed! Good on ya! That is one of the most trying aspects of the creative process as a creative individual I welcome anyone and everyone who refutes such an argument! As a creative individual I support any and all art forms no matter how controversial unless they're xenophobic. There are two things I, a creative individual cannot stand in any media outlet: Censorship and the Republican bias.

Are you still there, Yaguchi? I know you're busy but you seem like you've quit this thread. I hope you're alright and I sincerely hope anything that most likely was offensive, or that anything I've said was offensive to you of which I am truly sorry. I was brought up to have tolerance and acceptance of all peoples of the earth and I do. I am not Xenophobic. I'm really not unlike SOME PEOPLE but rest assured those people always get their comeuppance that's Karma. One of the first things on my list of what to when and if I receive an exorbitant amount of money would be to travel the world and Japan is a very high priority. I hope this clears up and previous discrepancies.

1) What is the literal meaning of the Japanese woman's name of "Suzuka?"

2) What are the correct japanese characters for "I Love Anime."? I understand you don't like it, I do and we're ok. I'm an American and I don't particularly like our Daytime Talk Shows as in Jerry Springer and Ricki Lake. It lowers the status quo of America and all decent Americans giving decent Americans a bad name.

3) It would seem technologically Japan is decades ahead of America and that's ok I have heard you are also sociologically ahead of America and most of the world as nudity and sex are not as much taboo in Japan like you said but I've heard in some places they have coed bathrooms and locker rooms. Is this true?

4) How much cigarette smoking is done in public places in Japan? In America before that legislation that made it illegal to smoke in all public places and I voted for that ballot, before that it was like walking into an out of control fire at a textile plant minus the fire. That seems to be the long standing American tradition; but I still love my country. Is this different in Japan?

5) Which side of the road do we drive on when driving in Japan? I've been told it's the Left like Britain but I just wanted to be sure.

Nah you got that the wrong way 'round it is YOU who doesn't know what the word vicariously means! Get a dictionary. Read a dictionary. Literacy is a wonderful thing for all sentient beings in The Universe. Literacy can even save The Universe.

And maybe I'm missing something, but noone I've seen here has said anything of the sort.

On multiple occasions here on newgrounds skeptics have flamed myself and others dry. Last time I checked, flaming is not allowed. Unfortunately these boards do not have a report option.

If you have specific examples of such an argument that you believe follows that line, why don't you copy it here and we can dissect it and figure out how it could have been done better.

I do. Many times I have been called retarded and crazy because I believe in Aliens and UFOs here on newgrounds and many places in real life. They believe I wear a tinfoil hat. I DO NOT! On multiple occasions skeptics as they declare themselves to be have the audacity to group conspiracy theorists and The Rest of Us (myself) who have a flair for Unexplained Mysteries of The Universe. What's the difference? I'll tell you: Conspiracy Theorists are completely and utterly insane and just want to be famous and get their face on TV/Cable/Satellite/The Internet. The Rest of Us are perfectly sane and do not seek fame in that manner. As for me I am an Artist that is what I do for a living and I hope to work for Dark Horse Comics indeed that will make me famous but I'm in it for the purpose of telling the story because it's my true calling.

Further incursions have been with various pieces of information and I do have a lot of it but I don't know everything. These same people are skeptical and from what I can tell they believe themselves to know everything therefore if this is something they don't know automatically it's untrue. Such an assertion is arrogant as goes my signature wise words indeed. They have continuously flamed myself and others dry.

I have seen multiple incursions on Discovery Networks and History Channels with the arguments provided by the skeptics some from Skeptical Inquirer that are indeed Dicks. On multiple occasions they find a gogolplex of pseudonyms for the following statements:

"There is no evidence whatsoever."
"That's outrageous!"
"Anyone who believes such shall be crucified!"

To the extent of The Real DaVinci Code: They continuously do such especially 2 and 3 and fill anywhere from 45 seconds to 45 minutes of those pseudonyms. In addition they can't site precedent or page number, merely say what the symbol doesn't signify and not what it does signify. Pending further they don't have one iota of actual evidence to the contrary all this is just flaming of the individual and/or Community whereas there's mountains of evidence in support of. To which I say: You people are not a qualified source at all! As The Great Bob Marley said "You can fool some people sometime but you can't fool all the people all the time." Further you can't fool me.

To the extent of Aliens and UFOs:

-On Alien Abductions they bring in multiple eyewitnesses who say they've been abducted and present their testimony. I do believe they are telling the truth. How Do you know? If you're smart enough you can tell the signs to look for are: Increase in heart rate, profuse blinking, and incocistentcies in the story they tell. The Eyewitnesses show none of the above. They always bring in the skeptic to show the other side. It's always a Psychiatrist or Psychologist they claim to be and according to them Hypnosis can fabricate memories into a patient that were never there in the first place. And they go on to prove themselves to have a small, narrow, and closed mind and I refuse the testimony of anyone who has anything but a big, broad, and opened mind. And if they ever actually read about these Alien Abduction cases they would know the perpetrator is a violently disturbed psychotic individual and if indeed it's the fabrication of a "Psychiatrist/Psychologist" it is they who should be in the chair not the other way around.

-On generic Aliens and UFOs they bring in an "expert" who is a skeptic who once again make the same 3 arguments. Once again I declare in actuality there's mountains of evidence in support of whereas they have not one iota of actual evidence to the contrary merely flaming of the individual and/or The Community.

-On Ancient Aliens they have multiple experts on history, archeology, and symbols who are also Ufologists that talk about the availability electricity and the means to power machines in the bronze age. On multiple occasions there have been multiple archeology sites finding multiple "Bagdad Batteries" that's what they call them. In order to create them you take a clay pot fill it with an acidic fruit juice like orange juice rig up a clay top to the pot with a rod in the middle wrap pieces of copper on the top and bottom of the rod and place the cap on top of the pot. Indeed the experts were able to get a strong electrical charge. The skeptic came in a writer for Skeptical Inquirer Magazine and Declared: Well so what? They power bronze age machines? If there were any they would've found them by now. To which I declare: Oh, I see! Just because haven't found them YET automatically they never existed in the first place at all ever! By your logic King Tut, his tomb, his treasure didn't exist at all ever until 1923 when Carter made the discovery! Really! You're a Dick!

To Democrats: GROW SOME FUCKING BALLS!

To Republicans: LIGHTEN UP/LOOSEN UP! GET THE FUCK OVER YOURSELVES ALREADY!

Answering some questions a few people seem uncertain or misinformed:

Does smoking marijuana give you a condition like Schizophrenia or Bipolar Disorder?

Absolutely positively not. No substance can give you a condition, however, most substances can and will cause severe brain damage if taken in excess. Marijuana in moderation won't but in excess it will like every other substance if done in excess. There is absolutely positively no means you can contract a condition like Bipolar Disorder through any other means other than being born with it it is not contagious and trust me you wouldn't want it anyway I have Bipolar Disorder and it's not fun at all! What does cause it? We really don't know. It just happens in some people from birth. We do know what is not a factor: Use of Caffeine by the mother during pregnancy, substance abuse and concussions to the head. It is however possible to pass on the condition to your offspring. Substance abuse can make a previously existing condition like Schizophrenia or Bipolar Disorder worse.

Does smoking marijuana shrink your penis?

Absolutely positively not. Nothing shrinks your penis. I myself have never heard of this it is however possible to cosmetic surgically shrink a man's penis if said man feels it's too big much like women can have breast reduction surgery, again I've never heard of it. To which everyone would say "WHY THE FUCK WOULD YOU?! If you're huge and natural that's even better than huge and fake!" Marijuana does, however, cause impotence as does all substances, Alcohol and tobacco do not. It's a solid fact. None of the hemp enthusiasts will admit it but it's true. The only substance that comes close to shrinking anything is steroids it will shrink men's testicles and women's ovaries and in women will wither their breasts. Steroids also cause baldness, liver damage, cancer and grow your head bigger they do not increase penis size.

Does smoking marijuana give men breasts and increase breast size in women?

To men: Absolutely positively not! WHAT KIND OF ASININE MORON TOLD YOU THAT???!!! A REPUBLICAN TOLD YOU THAT! THEY ARE WRONG!
To women: I'm terribly sorry but no it does not. However, if you start the daily birth control pill that does increase your breast size but it takes a while. This is true. Men should stay away from Women's birth control pills otherwise you will develop breasts. In Europe they've succeeded in making a men's birth control pill that lowers sperm count but it is not available in America the FDA has yet to approve it.
Is marijuana safer to smoke than tobacco?

Not exactly. One joint of marijuana contains as much cancer causing tar as four cigarettes this is true. The difference is marijuana doesn't have the nicotine additive and nicotine is the single most addictive substance known to the human race. Marijuana may not have nicotine but it can still be addictive. There is no such thing as "Non habit forming." "Non habit forming" is an oxymoron. Anything and everything that is pleasurable can and will be addictive. The difference is up to you and all of us to enjoy in moderation. Moderation is a very good thing.

Which is more dangerous Alcohol, tobacco or Cannabis?

The correct answer is all of the above when and only it falls into the wrong hands.

Alcohol-If consumed in excess in one sitting you will die of Alcohol Poisoning. If done in excess over time it will give you Cirrhosis, Heart Disease or severe brain damage. It is unwise to get behind the wheel of a car if you have consumed too much it's not always dangerous if you have consumed very little, however, even one drink can put you over the limit and when that happens in a DUI, Driving Under the Influence of Alcohol people have died. During intoxication people become less able to make decisions and if too much blackout and lose memory of what transpired. It is unwise to consume during pregnancy. So please, enjoy in moderation.

Tobacco-If smoked in excess you will stink, sad but true. Your lung capacity will be greatly reduced. Your teeth will go bad. Your skin will wrinkle faster and moreover, sad but true. If done in excess it will cause Lung/Mouth/throat/Stomach Cancer, Heart Disease, even Alzheimer's Disease that's what happened to my Grandma D who smoked well into her 80's she did not get cancer or heart disease but she did get Alzheimer's Disease and she was as wrinkled as Darth Sidious I shit you not. It is unwise to smoke during pregnancy. So please, quit while you're ahead.

Cannabis-If smoked in excess it will give you cancer, sad but true. It slows your reaction time. It makes you less able to make decisions but you don't blackout or lose memory of what transpired. It too is unwise to smoke while pregnant. People have died when it fell into the wrong hands. There was a group of Raiders in Turkey a long time ago called "Hasshasshin" and their reputation is where we get our modern word "Assassin" and like their namestake they were the purveyors of Hashish. It is unwise to get behind the wheel of a car when you've smoked too much and yes that still qualifies as DUI (Driving Under The Influence of Marijuana and people have died this is true. So please, enjoy responsibly.

Well then tell the people about your experience we want to know. I can handle a scary story. I can't say the same about the rest of NG but I can handle it. So tell us. Unless it's too traumatic for you then I'll understand if you don't want to. ;)

I once knew this girl in elementary school who was a total bitch. Day in day out every day she wouldn't stop harassing me and if you could hear her laughing you would say "Punch that bitch in the face! That's the only way she'll stop!" Worst of all like most of my enemies my whole life they had two marketable skills: Talking smack to people who don't fit in with their eugenics scheme or so they thought, and kissing ass to their superiors! I don't what's worse falling the kiss ass routine or playing to it! I never did hit her from grades 2-6 and I deserve a fucking medal for having to put up with that bitch and not hit her.

I do believe that there has got to be some other form of life elsewhere in the universe. To assert that in all the vast constantly expanding universe that it's just us is so arrogant. And I do believe Aliens have visited The Earth. I mean the evidence in favor of Aliens on Earth there's just mountains of it. Then along comes an "Expert" declares "All evidence is merely circumstantial all hear say." whilst not providing a single iota of actual evidence to the contrary all this can be attributed to is Harassment.

Anybody who honestly believes The Weather Ballon SNAFU over Roswell is just another tool for The Machine. Like all tools they are useful to The Machine. Like all tools they maintain The Machine indefinitely. Like all tools their only purpose in life is to serve The Machine. At any rate if you're smart enough you can tell when an individual is lying. The signs to look for are: Profuse blinking, increase in heart rate and inconsistencies in the story they tell. The Air Force's official explanation is they have no official explanation it's a constantly changing topographic map. Clearly they are lying. Their latest explanation is that the Alien bodies were misconstrued as Air Force crash test dummies. Thing is their own records confirm officially those weren't in place until 1956 testing first wave jet fighters with rocket powered ejector seats 9 years later. Well now...let's take a look...

Crash test dummies
Roswell Alien allegedly

As of now that picture has not been disproven by any media circuit or individuals coming forward saying "We made that." We ALL can tell the difference between A CRASH TEST DUMMY and A LIFE FORM! What kind of morons do you take us for?! You pin us as such and you in all your capacity sat on your asses and chain smoked while the Bush Administration was committing war crimes doing absolutely nothing to impeach and convict! Give me a mother fucking break!

I got a nice rolex for my birthday from the two hot lesbians that live across the street but I think they misunderstood me when I said I wanna watch.

There's these 3 guys: A fat guy who really liked pasta, A rich guy who really liked money, and one guy who really liked anal sex. They all die in a horrific car crash they go to the gates of heaven and gripe that this was too soon. Then St. Peter declares: Ok, you can go back but you can only stay if you can avoid that which you desire most." So they agree. They go back down to earth and are hungry they go to a restaurant with an all you can eat pasta special. The fat guy who really liked pasta receives his order takes one bite and POOF! He disappears! Now the only ones left are The rich guy who really liked money and the guy who really liked anal sex. Suddenly the rich guy sees a hundred dollar bill on the sidewalk. He picks it up and POOF! They both disappear!

The solution is Mac OS. No viruses whatsoever. None. Period. End of story. Game over.

Naturally, as I've said before and I say it again: Only women can and should wear freakishly tight pants whereas men should not because it squeezes our testicles too much which is quite painful and cuts off the circulation to our penis which is not healthy whereas with women it's much easier because their testis are on the inside and there's far less constraint and it's a fact women have a higher pain tolerance than men, that's why they have the babies.

What would you call a person who is too uptight and seeks joy in other peoples misery in Japanese? Not that you would or I would it's something that I'm sure most people of the world have a word for it. The French say "Bourgeois" The Germans say "Schadenfreut" we say "Republican" what would the Japanese say?

This was my Halloween bit as Jack The Ripper with a sideburns and goatee combo. Ironically enough the reason I shaved it all off was because people were makin' eyes at me like they'd seen me on INTERPOL's most wanted list.

"But I didn't know the gun was loaded! I took the clip out but it still went off! OH GAWD!!!"

surprised nobody thought of that sooner.

"We're hip, vicariously we won't wear a seatbelt when driving or riding in the car."

"We're hip, vicariously we won't wear a helmet or pads when skating."

At what point did being hip become finding a gogolplex of means to be reckless and irresponsible?

Surprised no one brought up Bob Lazar so I will. Bob Lazar came forward in the early 90's laying out a diagram of his alleged involvement with working with Area 51. He told an elaborate story about his engineering background from MIT and CalTech why he was chosen for reverse engineering Antimatter Propulsion. He spoke of a site called "S4" which is somewhere south of Groom Lake I'm not sure the exact location. There he claims to have found a Flying Saucer described as pretty small that people the size of human children would be more suited to fly it designed as such. According to him he was instructed to reverse engineer The Antimatter Propulsion system. For those of you who don't know Antimatter is exactly the opposite of matter we know how it works in theory we just haven't discovered it yet. What it does is a high energy output that all you would need is a teaspoon of it to run a car for 1 year. In recent years Bob Lazar has dropped out of public life, but his friends have maintained the public figure. Some have contended he's full of shit. There's one of two possibilities: 1 He's telling the truth because every previous time he told the story it's relatively the same with very little differences or 2 He's lying but damn good at it so good he should run for office in 2012.

Any previous indications as to that Area 51 has been moved to a site in Utah has since been proven false. There was this guy on Discovery Channel who went inside there's nothing there site's been abandoned if there was at all.

What is the deal with so many white people who insist I take my shoes off at the door?

He got what he deserved I hope he dies! That's what you get for turning your back on the city of Seattle and State of Washington and becoming an Asshole! That's karma.

Also, how do they transfer the peoples 'souls' (or 'ghosts') into robotic bodies without, in some cases, moving the entire brain? And lastly, where do the original bodies go?

Thanks

I believe that's what makes for the appeal of Ghost in the Shell os that no one is meant to have the right or wrong answer it's what you the viewer make of it. That's what we call "open ended."

I don't understand how anyone can openly hate Anime yet love The Matrix. The rest of us who cherish and know Anime can tell you The Matrix and all visual effects were nothing new, bullet time, running on walls indefinitely, city Night lights illuminating your body as you fly like superman, and the coup de gras Big Fucking Robots as the means to destruction AND Salvation of the human race provided they can be controlled which will ultimately illude you as control is an illusion all taken from previously existing Anime features the only difference is The Matrix was done in Live Action with CGI effects that before were either impossible or too expensive but in conventional animation anything is possible. The biggest one of all was Ghost in the Shell 1. There is talk of doing a Ghost in the Shell Live Action movie but it's been done: The Matrix. Jacking in to a computer network through a plug in the back of your neck, taking cover from a massive deal of gunfire behind a stone pillar that's getting shot to pieces, everything you believe you've experienced to be the fabrication of a sadistic machine mind: All Stolen from Ghost in the Shell 1.

I prefer to think of Ghost in the Shell 1 as the quintessential Anime instead of Akira. Akira was THE MOST overrated Anime ever! I always preferred the premise of "Heroic females, exhibitionist or otherwise." And you'll never hear the hardcore Anime fanboys complain about hardcore gratuitous nudity! Ghost in the Shell 2: Innocence was just awful! Like most sequels are! The real winner is when Major Kusanagi essentially "lives on" as opposed to "dying" and I'm sure you understand why I use quotation marks. That's why Stand Alone Complex was so successful.

What are some of the practices of gun control vs. Actual gun violence vs. depictions of gun violence or otherwise graphic violence in Japanese Anime/Manga, TV, Movies and Video Games? In America when some violent act occurs somebody always blames it on violence in TV, Movies and Video games and I want to know what it's like in Japan, because there's a lot of violence in Anime/Manga, TV, Movies and Video Games. I mainly ask this in defense of such art forms, all of the above because as a professional artist I have even less tolerance for censorship in the media than I do for the conservative bias which is none.

The gist of it is: Justice is about sending people to county Jail, Revenge is about sending people to city morgue.

"What's your point?"

Dumbest argument ever. Just an idiot's means of trying to deter the guy who's point is perfectly clear to the other heads in the room except this individual just declared "What's your point?" with a room temperature I.Q. I guess that's even lower if you measuring in metric! That's what they're really saying is "You're using complex sentence structure and big words that confuse and scare me and I need you to dumb it down for me so I'm gonna be a Dick and say that instead."

I came up with a better name to replace my initial name reminiscent of a certain popular video game that had I used for flash animation would've warranted a copyright infringement suit. So I came around with a few weapons hands tried "Tiger's Claw" that didn't work because of punctuation Then tried "Tiger Claw" turns out that was already taken then arrived at "Iron Claw" which was original, I think and now I have something to accent that Claw Emblem I'd been working on for a while.

I got a Rolex for my birthday from the two nice Lesbians across the hall, but I think they misunderstood me when I said "I wanna watch."

You shouldn't give a FLYING FUCK WHAT EVERYBODY THINKS OF YOU unless it's constructive, of course.

I could reload my flash animation software on my new computer! Would that make you happy?

you still haven't figured that out yet? Well you're new you'll get it soon enough. ;)

I'm 6'2" and 267 pounds. I need to lose weight. You don't. End of story.
