Personally, I'd rather watch it in Japanese because sometimes the original meanings of the story are usually lost when dubbed into English (a fault that all companies have yet to see yet), but then again that usually occurs with any anime that's been dubbed after 2001.

Anything before usually tried hard to stick with the original japanese storylines (with the except of Cardcaptor Sakura, which they completely botched the first story arc), but I still go back and watch the japanese versions of it.

It should be established that the Detective Conan storyline has no set "timeline", so it bypasses all the whole "he needs to grow up or something!" rules...

... it's sad, unrealistic truth, but since the emphasis on the series is more on the mystery plots than anything else so it works.

The social stereotypes established today are insane.

Just believe in what you believe is right, and make sure your friend knows it. If she begins to treat you different because you have your own beliefs, then she really can't be called a friend.

Quote by DarthTofuIt's sad that it happens, but no country should be banned from the Olympics for any reason. I thought the Olympics were about all countries setting aside their differences and competing for the sake of competing.

I still cringe that Taiwan doesn't get to fly their flag during opening ceremonies.

I know the feeling, being a part-Taiwan native... the talk about the Olympics setting aside differences and having friendly competition was a dream in the past.

In that difference, there is still indifference even when countries participate... now-a-days it's not all about politics anymore. Steroid controversies, judging favors, etc. have plagued sports and the Olympics for the past recent events. How many people went into the 2006 Winter Olympics thinking of another Russia-sided judging controversy? There were people that were outraged by the judges decisions to even place Sasha Cohen at 3rd. You can't possibly say that politicians are the only ones to blame if it's for things like that.

In the defense of the United States and the Olympics, I suppose that in recent years public scrutiny for the sacredity of the Olympics has been brought on by the media, and we all know just how much they can botch something up.

While the wrong-doings of the past were, in part, wrong and they shouldn't have made stupid decisions to the extent of banning a country from participating the in the Olympics, we shouldn't base it on if a nation is at war, has been at war, or has done something at fault. They should be allowed to participate just in "fair game."

I can't exactly say that I'm "new" around here, just never posted in the forums and whatnot.

But anyway... Yo, I'm Joe. Procrastinator by trade and a student of life's idiocys.

If you've ever swung by "TheWaffleHouse" or "Yanime" scanlation sites you'll have seen my name... that's me! ^^-b
