Seriously, even if you're someone who likes this show, loves it even, you cannot, CAN.NOT! tell me that the production of it isn't fucked harder than life itself.
I like Dragon Ball Super, and I completely 170% agree with you on the fact that the production was rushed faster than the transformers movies

I used to say that fans that talk about BS rumors and do clickbait videos and articles really grind my gears. In a way, they still do a little bit, but most of the rumor talk going around is from kids being kids. The same stuff happened when I was younger so I'm not surprised that the new generation is doing it.

What grinds my gears now is seeing high-profile fans calling other fans out for simply believing the BS rumors and calling them names on Twitter and stuff. The older fans who know better, check their sources, and stuff should behave better towards kids. Y'know, "Lead by example," and all that.

All the Dragon Ball clickbait in the world is less annoying than adults picking on kids.

That's easy to say for someone who doesn't despise kids. As far as I'm concerned, they shouldn't wade into our domain if they can't handle detraction, critique, the occasional shame, etc. that so many of them need and deserve. After all, the majority of kids on the internet act like total scumbags to anyone that tickles their nose the wrong way. We're lucky to have a place like this, where we're free from most of that.

I'm 13, i'm a child :twisted: , But I totally agree with you most of us shouldn't be allowed near the infinite void known as the internet, as most Children are a bunch of sociopath's masquerading as people. Before they evolve into people

Geez!! I remember being a kid and I turned out alright without anyone treating me so badly as what I'm talking about!

I'd rather not chase off any potential future VegettoEX types that'll be doing their own Dragon Ball retrospectives when I'm old!

I'm not a fan of gate keeping youngsters from the internet. We were all young on the internet once to. Don't see why standards need to be so high. There are plenty of grown people who are just as, if not more, immature and their higher age doesn't make them less annoying.

I was an annoying 13 year old on the internet as well. Then some dude on a forum I've long forgotten gave me a rant about my behavior that made me think about how I conduct myself online and how I should or shouldn't interpret the dialogue of others.

Kids need to start somewhere. But that might just be my teacher side talking.

Do you happen to be a teacher ?
But yeah, not letting kids online because they will ruin your super duper series discussion, is not only pretentious, but childish too. If they really bother you that much, just ignore them.

Agreed. Let them on. Kids can be kids. That's why we love them and sometimes dislike them. But we should expose the younger generation of fans to more informational parts of the fandom like here at Kanzenshuu. There's gonna be hard times, but I don't care. They're freaking kids!

Not to mention that, to VegettoEX, a lot of us here probably seem like kids to him when you consider how long he's been doing this. Having a few younger ones here at the site probably wouldn't bother him much.

That's pretty cool. Teaching is something I want to do. Next to being an editor or a Lawyer (runs in the family), it's want I want to do the most.

That's the right attitude to have if you want to be a teacher. I should know, since I am one - I teach Media in high school. A lot of people enter this profession thinking it's easy money just to stand at the front of a class, write stuff on the board, and have kids copy it down, but it's so much more than that. It's exhausting, time consuming and stressful, but it's also incredibly rewarding knowing you're making a positive impact in kids' lives, even if it doesn't initially seem that way. That said, it's certainly not a job just anyone can do. You have to be prepared to put up with a hell of a lot of shit, whether it's from kids, parents or your employer among others, and the pay isn't that great in comparison to just how much work you actually end up doing. Heck, many of my peers are alcoholics to a minor degree - thankfully I'm not that bad yet, although I do enjoy a few drinks on my Friday evenings. But despite all that, I can't see myself in any other profession.

My stance is: You say something stupid on the internet, people should be allowed to call it stupid. If you're a child (Like I was when I made my first stupid comment), then that just means you need to be told it's stupid all the more.

I love that yourself, Jinzoningen, & Soppa Saia keep using third-person pronouns, lol. I think there are quite a few notable users whom I wont name, on this site in their teens/late childhood years that come on here, & are probably especially well-kept & reserved. That is something that a ton of geeks have an issue with. We are probably lucky to have youth like that actually. It is on a spectrum of course - I'm only 20 & have been here nearly 3 years, & there are people similar to my own age that have been here 7-10 years at this point, El Diabeetus & one other IIRC, off the top of my head.

Oh yeah, in the grand scheme of things, I'm a kid, (I'm younger then the site itself) but they way MULE was using "kid" is was thinking 10-14 range.

You're still supposed to register in case there is a need for one, or else you can be fined. Although most people I know haven't and are just fine.

This is hardly the place to discuss that, though.

Selective service is not the same as the draft. The draft hasn't existed since the early 70's.
