I like to call anime "chinese cartoons" and kanas "kung fu letters" just to tick people off.

(I still browse /jp/ and play eroge/touhou every night [color=black][background=black]for the plot.[/color][/background])

[i]Also, Rena is yangire, Mion/Shion are yandere.[/i]

[spoiler=Not quite...]Actually, just Shion; Mion is sane in every arc we see. Sure, she probably snapped in some of the hundreds of other Hinamizawas, but we never saw any of them, so we can't be sure what made her snap - she may have been yandere in them, but she may also have been yangire. Of course, this is referring to the twins by the names they have used most of their lives, not their birth names, since the swapped early on.[/spoiler]

[spoiler=Well]We're saying "Mion/Shion" because both twins technically have both names. Yes, as you say the only real yandere is the girl recognized as Shion by everyone else in the story, but she's technically also Mion due to her birth name.[/spoiler]

[spoiler=But]Why would anyone use the ambiguous hybrid construction "Mion/Shion" instead of just referring to the girl by the name she as used for the vast majority of her life and by which she is referred to throughout the entire series that we see?[/spoiler]

When I point to the "Up" escalator and the customers turn around and walk up the "Down" escalator.

All cartoons are for kids.

NO THEY AREN'T YOU TROLL! Yugioh is a deep, meaningful story with dark, mature moments. No kid is mature enough to grasp the meaning behind spiky-haired cartoon characters on motorcycles screaming stupid things before placing a trading card on his duel disk or why a 13-year old boy with a plastic wig eats a riceball and jumps in a air and lands on his back! What kid can grasp the deep understanding of why the key to defeating a dark force that threatens humanity is available at your local Target? 4Kids is raping the most dramatic anime ever made! Yu-Gi-Oh! is for us mature people of 21 and over. Heck, the TV rating should say TV-MA, but 4Kids is racist and greedy and they touch children.

People who think everyone from my city says "Naw'lins" like we're a bunch of f***ing Rednecks. First off ya mother-- look. My point is this. The city's name is New Orleans. I'm not a hick, and you're an idiot.

But I know people from there that say that. O_o

It's a big city, it probably defers from area to area and person to person.

And most people do at least say "Neworlens," even people who aren't from there.

This much IS true. But a LOT of people mix the way we talk with our heritage. And it pisses me off.

That black people love KFC. I'm not black nor am i saying they all hate it but, it's just such a weird conception.

The KFC near my house ran out of fried chicken because a black guy bought it all.
