      Hey you're welcome for the rep and thanks for giving me some. :) It's fun to make parodies, lmao. I actually like ZEXAL a little bit. I don't have a problem with the setting or the Numbers plot. What I don't like however are most of the characters (particularly that idiot Yuma) and the execution of the plot. Oh and Yoshida of course. That guy can't be trusted ... Plus, so far the manga isn't any different from the anime. Why does Yoshida have to write both? What the heck does he have to prove?

      IDK, but I somewhat like the look of the edits you do, retro like.

      That added to hope that they so badly need that the war is coming to an end is resulting in an extremely happy and patriotic attitude. From a psychological and sociological point of view, America's reaction makes sense. Guaranteed there are people taking that way too far though. Way, way too far.


      To attempt to sum up my views again, this comes down to "ding-dong, the witch is dead."

      I do wonder how organized they will be without Osama, but unfortunately I assume they already have a successor lined up.

      And on related news, it's downright amazing how many news stations keep mispronouncing Osama as Obama.

      So it comes down to this. I think arresting him would have been best, but I understand that they probably had no choice in killing him. Ideologies aside, it's just outright hard to capture a dangerous man alive. As for celebrating his death, there are many reasons for it. He represents a sign of oppression, and he is now gone. He represents what America considers pure evil, and he is now gone. Why not celebrate the end of all evil. People need closure when a loved one dies. Some get it naturally, some require some outside factor such as revenge. Culturally, America believes in revenge, even if at times moderate. In this case, such a cartoonishly evil figure allowed people to let go of all their restrictions and regular needs to follow social norms in order to express themselves as much as they wanted to. They are happy he is gone, feel like their enemy, the one who hurt their friends, family and pride is now gone.

      I don't buy conspiracy theories that he was dead a long time ago or that he is not truly dead and Obama just wants to get reelected because of human nature. Someone would eventually be bribed into giving out evidence of the lie, which would then break the party completely. It's far too big of a risk, and no one truly wants to take a risk like that for no reason. Obama is just a person, the democrats can throw him away and get another toy for the next election if needed. If Bush killed Bin Laden like some people are saying, then he would have revealed as much before the elections to boost McCain's popularity, lord knows he needed it. .
    6. Detective
      They have reported that Bin Laden resisted arrest, and that's why he was shot. Frankly, I don't doubt that's possible. Leaving ideologies and politics aside, the actual battlefield is a different case. We can talk the political ramifications of what they did or the ideological aspirations we think they failed, but we have to remember that it's very unlikely that a man like Bin Laden would go down without a fight. If someone tried to arrest him, he would fight back. If at all possible to merely put him out cold then arrest him, I would have preferred that option as would no doubt America, even if only so they could parade him like an animal. But based on the logical assumption that Bin Laden would rather die than to be arrested and would more than willingly try to take people down with him, I realize that bringing him back alive would be extremely hard and give chance to allowing him to escape. All in all, I don't blame the government for the decision to kill him.
    7. Detective
      Sure, I don't mind talking about them.

      Basically, my political views come down to "assume the worst out of everyone." And assuming the worst out of everyone, I don't think America killed Bin Laden out of revenge, but our of necessity. I don't think that they tried to do the right thing because they told us, but because Osama was more of use alive than dead. And I don't just mean about how much he could have given them information to wipe out the rest of the terrorists, but that putting him on trial would be simply better revenge-wise. Remember the Hussein trial coverage? The execution videos popping out on youtube? America loved that and would love to have a repeat performance. The only reason why they wouldn't have it happen again is that couldn't. Which brings me to my next point.

      Sunny Huddersfield :D I think it may be the only place in the country that does a BSc in Textiles whereas most courses are BAs. We did all the testing of the fabrics so technically, I'm a scientist pfff!!

      Hey, I wasn't really mad at you, okay? It just, you know, seemed like kind of a random topic. I guess dueling on tanks would be pretty awesome.

      I see its potential. I am a very optimistic person, seeing beyond, in ways. I saw trailers for True Blood, seeing past the whole "Vampires and shit" facade. With a new Yugioh series, there is always potential.

      I also got a bit tired of seeing an old teenager play a kids card game, most of the people who play the game are around Yuma's age.

      Thank you master. I believe my signature will spread the idea of equal power to everyone. It is a political statement.

      Hey YaminoRPG,

      I am sorry but I have to quit your YGO series project.
      I am to busy with other stuff, both in private life and YGO land, that I really can't have another project running as well.
      Good luck and I will certainly follow your series.

      May as well keep my end of the bargain... expect to see the whole ordeal thing soon.
      BTW, how do you change the ownership?
    17. 63cohen
      I knew that. I was trying to explain why I changed my user name.
    18. Primer_Face
      Yeah well, later...
    19. Primer_Face
      I mean take a break from the manga and anime and just stick to playing TCG. May as well too, I've got a list of things that I never got to do because of watching 5D's.
    20. Primer_Face
      Don't know about you but after 5D's, I'm pretty much gonna have to hibernate here.
