I Could Be Scathing....

Yes, but what are your thoughts on yaoi?* *fandom wank joke. figured you'd get it, if not, sorry!

Haha. Yeah, I could see making fun of Otakin. Umm... I was just teasing about you being scathing. If that's what sparked this. I think it's probably not, but your use of the same word in your title caught my attention. *giggles nervously* You have a good point, as usual. There are always excuses why people are mean to each other, and while some of them are easier to understand than others, they're still excuses.

Well friend why not lambaste people who take lifes of other for no rime people killed in blasts public places whwt have the poor people done.just few hours ago some one put a bomb on yhe train ,how can you justfy all thrse animals.

Totally, totally agreed with you! Specially on making fun of otakin.* apart from this you was absolutely right about 'us' we are the one who can justify being cruel to one group. Obviously everyone can but the fact is no one wants to be. They always make lames excuses, reasons, lie alot and spread cruelity amongst us! There is a strong recommendation to those to stop doing these things and think just for a second that we can really justify :)

Well never heard the term Otakin before but that made me smile. Sounds like they are a bit out there for me but hey if that's what floats their boat then thats fine for them. I agree, anything can be justified. People have been doing it since time began. All arguements have at least two sides and both sides can justify their stance until they are blue in the face. I doubt as a society we will ever all agree on anything. That's a good thing though in my book. If we did all agree on something I'd really have to wonder what was going on. When it comes to being cruel to others that too has been happening since man first began. Someone was always being put down. Do I like it? No but there will always be at least one person who thinks they are better then others. They will find a reason to justify it, whether it's because they did something, because they didn't do something, where they are from, what they believe etc. All we can do is make sure those who try to put down others know that we will not let it continue.

oh man this is fun..i love this place..i was just going to ask you who the hell otakin are..and you explained them very well lol..i will find my group to pick on today..i am choosing clonaid..they can only be nice if they make more copies of me lol..so when i am ill..my hubby can have another me as a replacement..now that would be useful lol..only kidding..

What you are saying is correct. It justifies the evil, condones it to themselves so they can accept it. But, it doesn't make it right, only to them.

Otakin? *scribbles down Otakin in the "people to make fun of in forums* list, right below Furries and PS3 owners* Thanks for the tip :-P

You are 100% right! I can remember back in the day actually saying, "The only prejudice that I have is against people who are prejudiced". Thank goodness my brain still had some active and alive brain cells and I was able to change that way of thinking ~Donna ps - great discussion topic

The problem with coming out and publicly condemning hate groups like the KKK and Nazis and skin heads, is that everybody is frankly a little afraid of them in a confrontation. They probably don't get half of the cruelty they deserve especially when they are at their height. It's easier to hide behind some misguided religious precept and condemn Muslims, Catholics, Gays, different races etc. Groups that don't professionalize hatred seem meeker and the bullies love to pick on them. Don't know about Otakin. That's seems a nice whimsical little approach and whimsy is always a good way to go. As far as I'm concerned it's the best way. (I just learned about these anime things from somebodyelse's discussion and it's fascinating.)

Oh, yes, Everything is justifiable... People can lie and we all know this, But i need to agree with you in part.. Some groups really are weirdos man... Like 'Otakin' as you have said... Come on man, Believing that a carachter lives inside of you?? oh my god -.-.. Also there are many other groups of people that i personally don't like.. Like Emos, they are .... emos. Oh well... I think some people just need to review what they are doing :X

well
