You do realize that's the exact same mindset that funded the 9/11 attacks, yes? No, it wasn't the Chinese Mafia or Bootlegs. It was middle eastern terror groups and drugs. But at the end of the day it doesn't really make a difference. People still end up dead.
According to commercials if you smoked one joint ever. You caused 9/11. Do you believe this is a true statement?

That's partially why I asked for clarification as to what exactly the Triad is known to be involved in. The other reason had to do with comparing them to the Yakuza (who, by comparison, aren't nearly as bad).

Never, I must continue my needless bickering to make me feel tough on the internets!
That's fucking hilarious!

I think I'm gonna keep it!

Thank you for taking the Internet seriously enough to edit my head onto a Vegeta picture instead of countering my valid points.

Anywho, you have no room to talk. You make needless pictures of try and make fun of me (to feel tough on the Internets) and make me feel bad when all you did was make me really happy.
Butthurt.

Amateur. You don't speak /b/ here.

Now, seriously, out with the Saiyaman pic!

EDIT: Who's trying to be "tough on the Internets" now?

Please guys, this is the only anime-based forum that doesn't seem anything like 4chan...let's not allow that disease to contaminate Daizex.

Awesometastical! Also very funny! Matches what my offline friends think my personality is rather well. If I give you a better pic (without scouter) could you re-do it? If I'm asking for too much feel free to deny the request without feeling bad whatsoever.

Thank you again!

:D

Bootlegs are bad. You shouldn't buy them.

Surely you could just do this over PM's?

Also, use Photoshop for goodness sake.

I second the attempt to get this thread back on topic, and I agree with djkalteraphine's opinions. This seems like the only statement that can be agreed upon by everyone.

Well, I'm sure we would've gotten to agreeing on other things being that when this topic was derailed we were in the midst of making clarifications. It was also interesting in reading about exactly what kind of activities people who buy bootlegs are funding.

Bootlegs may be bad, but they wouldn't be so tempting for some people if the official releases were done better.

Re-railing this topic will be hard.
