Another insult you've given to the British there White Wolf.

Maybe get the facts straight before making the assumption next time before you go and insult other members and get more infractions. Considering you have been banned a few times before, you do not seem to have learnt your lessons very well.

You said it. Not me.

If you don't want me to assume anything, try giving out your facts straight.

And stop taking everything I say to offense. It's getting annoying.

I don't have anything against The British, England whatever. In fact, I'd love to go there next summer.

But you would have never guessed that, would you?

Too closed minded.

Am I going to get banned now for speaking my mind? Or can you handle that much.

No one's judging anything. It's just shocking to see or hear something that isn't accepted where you're from. You can't blame people for widening their eyes at something that isn't custom. It's just being open minded that helps accept different cultures and different ways of living that makes you a better person. And not taking everything to offense.

Strangely enough, while you're on the topic of people swearing when they get angry. I swear I have a friend that no matter how angry she gets, no matter if shes boiling, she won't use a single swear word. Nor use one for any occasion. Totally against swear words, pretty much lives by it and in the over 6 years i've known her hasn't once slipped up and said one. So there's rare cases

i live in singapore... man anime ain't really popular here... but there are lots of viewers... lots of mainstream anime viewers.... but we don't have any website like this where u see singaporeans being the majority of the active users..

I live in the philippines ( am a filipino, and proud of it) now a small one in asia but the people here are great . I moved here a few years ago and basically grew up in NY. how it is here in regards to anime and the growing fascination for manga and anime well it is floushing. i know how we are stereo typed and censorship here is quite strict but the reputation of filipinas bec of what is commonly misconceived as true well not.i just dislike people who discriminate and stuff but all in all where ever i am and who i am i am proud of my heritage and who i am.

with regards to swearing not that i am totally against expressing one's thoughts and all but that is why i have a punching bag at home (lol). we are not encouraged to swear or cuss as most would say and try to live by it ... but that is just me.

I live in the U.S. that is about as much as people need to know about people... in America but hate America >.< GO Barack Obama

O.o well that is true... but i just have to say this.. *swears loudly* >.< sorry... but an anime convention is being held now in Singapore.. and i feel so bad i can't attend it... I live next to Singapore.. but over... 600 km or so away from it Im in Malaysia ^^ and here in Malaysia and Singapore... anime is taking over swiftly... i know many naruto fans all around here in my hometown.. and Bleach fans too

The US now, and im not realy that happy living here. I grew up in ireland, so im used to openly cursing, drinking, and the like. Its all backwards here in most aspects, and i dont really have problems with censorship, since they do a bad job of it anyway.

cultures are different because thats the way its always been, so depending on the culture and where you live. theres a multitude of different laws, and oppinions. Censor ship for some areas is no big deal, like in japan, its a huge deal in america because of what each thinks younger generations should be exposed to.
