  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

hi Tiga, come join the anime club in 'Society' forum!

i've quite a few animes.... the miyazaki films, some old series like 'Wataru', 'Cyber Formula' and 'Initial D' (you'll like CF and ID if you liked cars), and recent ones like 'Slayers', 'Crest of the stars', 'Kenshin' (though this is kind of old) etc.

lots of things are distracting. (sorry, can't resist)
there're some really great animes, take Kenshin for example, the wondering swordsman who tries to atone for his sin for the war era. How is one to use power? what is justice? can one bear sin alone? what effect does the unpleasant past have on a person? what is the aftermath of war? how do you balance mercy and punishment?

(sorry, can't resist) While Kenshin may have indeed been wondering, I think the word you're looking for is "wandering." ;) j/k

And I agree 100% with Blessed-one. There are some really great animes, and some really bad ones-just like there are some really great Hollywood movies and TV shows and some really bad ones.

If you're not willing to denounce all of Hollywood and never set foot in a theater again (and throw out your entire TV and videotape collections) because of boorish, unartistic, and utterly pandering trash like "American Pie" and "Temptation Island," then please don't denounce all of the entire spectrum that is anime for the offensive parts. :)
