I've never really heard a good argument for blocking websites. The two basic arguments are that 1) School computers are for learning and working only, and 2) Surfing the web can allow malware to be dropped on the PC, at best only using up more resources (processor cycles, memory, etc.) and at worst ...

A lot of your questions depend heavily on the Anime and which character dies and how. There are some death's that really open the flood gates of passion for a character and add to the art of the medium (ex. Nephrites death) and others that just seem like a cheap sensationalist stunt that offends eve...

Anyone think that Toei is trying to pull a "Disney" with SM? For those of you that don't know what I'm referring to: Disney routinely removes their movies from store shelves for a period of time (I think its around 5-8 years, but don't quote me on that). This: 1) gets people buying other new propert...

As much as I would love for it to come back on TV. I'd have to vote no for [adult swim]. Here's why: 1) They would use the DIC and Cloverway dubs which, needless to say are, cut up like an Elm Street child, and Americanized like an Elis Island avrivee. 2) Even if they did an uncut dub its still not ...

Regarding your spoiler, Tiff: [spoiler]It's my belief that the time spent in Davey Jones' Locker messed Jack up even MORE than he already was, and so he kept the whole "multiple Jack" hallucinations when he left. This time, though, they weren't there just to give him the illusion of a crew (somethi...

I commented on one of the Bratz's "songs" on SongMeanings a while back, and recently I got a rather amusing response: http://www.songmeanings.net/lyric.php?lid=3530822107858584583#73015168746 HEY!

I saw Pirates 3 today. It was awesome! It left the door open for a sequel, but can also work as a bookend for the series. The story had a lot of plot threads, but I didn't find them hard to follow. It also wrapped up nicely in the end (I'm not sure how they did it though...Sea Turtles I guess). Alt...

I can ALMOST understand the second one, to a very far extent. I'm knowledgeable in the fact that spent ammunition belts ARE sold as fashion accesories, but others aren't, and may have jumped the gun a bit to prevent a disaster. But the FIRST one is...dear GOD.

if they do a gun-control resolution... My thought: You don't need AK-47's or M-16's. or sniper rifles... basically, just don't allow current military weapons for sale. Anything else, go for it. In many ways this already happens. Usually military surplus has to be striped down before being resold to...

Some people blame access to guns, but some of the most violent regions in the world are ones where guns are band, because only the criminals have guns (thanks to the black market). People will ALWAYS find a way to gain control of a weapon, whether it's guns or something else. Very true, a weapon is...

This whole incident has got me thinking. What really could have motivated his killings? I thinks its overly simplistic to just blame his mental illness since there are plenty of people with it, and they don't go on a rampage (in fact he himself had it for years without acting out). Some people have ...
