Do you feel disrespected?

[pyro_256]

I know this is gonna sound strange in all (and if you haven't noticed I am strange!) but I hate being called a teenager. I don't consider myself part of that age group because I don't feel like one anymore and i never did. Like I said before, NO ONE can relate to me.

how can you not feel like a teenager anymore when you have never felt like one? do you know everyone in the world? if not you can't say nobody can relate to you. and it might be that they just don't want to try to relate to a person like you. and perhaps it's more that you can't relate to anybody else that makes you feel like you can't be understood by anyone.

... you're right.

Once again, I've dissapeared for a month and came back out of no where, (and once again, no one really cares about me).

I made a thread wondering where the hell you went, but it got locked.

Do you feel that people, friends, and family disrespect you because you like amine? Me? My parents continuously...

Nope. Might've been made fun of once or twice, but not disrespected. I run into more disrespect on the web actually.

I think japan makes better tv shows in general. American has no good sense of humer too.

Between anime/live-action tentacle sex, that weird music video with all those men wearing nothing but ONE fig leaf, and bukkake, I don't even know where to start on this one.

oh, you mean Yatta! Those crazy bastards...........

hmm, i dissapear all the time........ but no one really seems to give a damn...... then again, i wouldnt know............

I'm lost...What's this thread about?

[billy_wires]

Hey Black Dahlia: Just to get to you before the flamers do, I must say your sig is way too big. And your avatar also exceedes the allowed limit.

I think you're just an angst filled tweenager with some rather incomplete, half cocked ideas about life, pop culture, etc. *shrugs*

When you get older I think you'll find that although things can be easier/more convenient to understand when wedged into a stereotype, that it tends to make you look as unintelligent and unsophisticated as those you blindly criticize for making fun of anime. In all reality, you aren't much different from those people.

There are plenty of good American TV shows, granted things are a lil on the thin side right now, but it's never a complete void. Shows like Farscape, Buffy, Angel, Firefly, OZ, Law & Order, Sex And The City, the list goes on and on. I would imagine that you probably blindly criticize a lot of these shows just as your parents do with the anime series that you watch. Do you see my point? Stereotypes are bad, mmmkay?

I mean, there are some REALLY good anime series out there, but there are also a lot of REALLY bad anime series out there. If you ever took a trip to Japan and visited one of their high schools you would find out very quickly that many of them find most anime series to be rather "uncool", something that only Japanese nerds and little kids really like. Chances are they would make fun of you just as much as your parents do.

Not only did you just come out of the blue and repeat everything I just said, you managed to sound like a complete ass in doing so. For that, I offer you a round of applause. But much to my suprise, you are also making blind assumptions based on your own likes and dislikes. Tie into your first line. It seems to me someone is a bit of a hypocrit. Lets look at the third paragraph again, shall we?

You blindly assume that everyone likes these shows, or a selection of the shows. What you don't realize is that you just stereotyped American youth, saying that shows such as those you listed, many with similar plots and the like, are all good. Even if you love every single one of these shows, it doesn't mean that everyone else does. This whole statement is based on a stereotype. But I guess you worded it best when you said

Heck, even as I read your post again I see your whole rant is seeking some grand ego boost. The original post in question doesn't criticize anything, but merely suggests distaste. If he hates everything on TV and says it, he is simply discussing his own likes and dislikes, much like you. If he feels disrespected when people attack his personal taste, then more power to him. He even mentions in the very beginning two crucial words, "I think." For him to think in such a way is to display a particular belief. While he may be overgeneralizing Japanese TV (see my first post in this thread), he backs it up by proclaiming he dislikes most American humor. So before you ride your high horse into town again, I would suggest you read things more closely next time.

Not only did you just come out of the blue and repeat everything I just said,

First of all, I didn't repeat anything you said, further I hadn't even read your post until just now and...wow...you read like freakin stereo instruction, honestly get some style, buy it, rip it off, steal it, SOMETHING. o_O

you managed to sound like a complete ass in doing so.

You can dance about like a colorful lil fruit loop eating fag all you like deary, straight and to the fucking point is the way I post.

For that, I offer you a round of applause. But much to my suprise, you are also making blind assumptions based on your own likes and dislikes.

No, I really didn't assume anything actually.

You blindly assume that everyone likes these shows, or a selection of the shows.

Actually Sunshine, I don't. I simply state that they are good shows, I don't say ANYTHING about who likes them. Hell if we're going by who likes what that'd make like Fear Factor or one of those other idiot based reality TV series the best show on the entire planet, now wouldn't it? YOU are the one who is making ASSumptions about my post. When I say a show is good I mean that it has a plot, is well written, intricately developed characters, personalities, etc, etc, etc.

What you don't realize is that you just stereotyped American youth, saying that shows such as those you listed, many with similar plots and the like, are all good.

Cause Sex And The City and Firefly are *SO* much alike...did you even READ my post, Cupcake? I mean, no, really.

Even if you love every single one of these shows, it doesn't mean that everyone else does.

That's another ASSumption on your part, I never said who like what.

Heck, even as I read your post again I see your whole rant is seeking some grand ego boost.

Free cl00, lil one, if I was looking for an ego boost, I wouldn't act like such an arrogant asshole. ^_^

The original post in question doesn't criticize anything,

"American has no good sense of humer"

Seems to be a criticism to me my lil Ritalin deficient.

but merely suggests distaste.

*golf clap*

You can argue semantics, how wonderful for you.

If he hates everything on TV and says it, he is simply discussing his own likes and dislikes, much like you. If he feels disrespected when people attack his personal taste, then more power to him. He even mentions in the very beginning two crucial words, "I think." For him to think in such a way is to display a particular belief.

Do you have a point that you're trying to get to at, or what, cause really yer startin to bore.

While he may be overgeneralizing Japanese TV (see my first post in this thread), he backs it up by proclaiming he dislikes most American humor.

Now ya see, yer just as bad as he is, Sunshine. American humor, Japanese humor, I hate to smack you real hard with reality but part of the point of my post was to show that there's no such thing. There's humor and there are varying classes of humor, like slapstick, gross humor, shock humor, sarcastic humor, etc, etc, but it has nothing to do with one particular culture or another.

So before you ride your high horse into town again, I would suggest you read things more closely next time.

Wow, like ya know I was lookin ALL over the place for irony and, huh, here it was in your post the WHOLE time. ^_^
