Why, did God even put the snake and the tree there if there was bound to be a fuck-up?

Lol, this thread is the optimome of odd (is optimome even a word?)
God didn't put the "snake" there. The snake was supposed to be Lucifer.

That's a paradox. Either it proves God as fallible, or shows that he's a sadistic SOB to have let the Devil screw things up. :P

Anyway, back on topic.

Anyway, I just wanted to say that I don't care much about the little kid bottoms and *ahem* "wee-wees" but I don't really want to see a grown mans butt and *ahem* "penis". If I wanted to(which I'm not saying I do) I would just look in a mirror...naked.

Ok, I'm going to feel stupid for this but: What's with the "u"'s? Is it supposed to represent certain male anatomy parts?
Even I became a loser when I made one of these...

But what about the guys and gals that do want to look at a penis? :P After all, if they can show a woman's boobs, then it's only fair that they show off a guy's parts.

It's a reference to the way Toriyama draws the penis and testicals. That is; they're in undetailed "U" shapes.

I have no problem with it. There are ways to present anatomy in a sexually way or in a casual way and I believe Toriyama does it in a casual way. Quite honestly, I think too often children was getting the message that there's something wrong with their body. And there isn't.

Yes there is. Relatively few people on this planet need to run around naked.

I've always wondered why parents would allow their children to run around naked. It just seems unsanitary, and weird. I would never allow it.

Back on topic, I still don't mind nudity, (ironically enough,) esspecially in anime because I'm able to except that their culture is different then ours, and treats things differently as well.

I wouldn't say the same thing if an American cartoon came out with similar tones, however, but I'm willing to allow other cultures to do their own thing. And if I'm going to watch their programming, then I'm going to have to deal with its quirks. That's how I look at that. I also find it disrespectful to censor such things. Either watch it for what it's worth, or not at all.

But allow me to say that we created separate bathrooms for a reason people. 'Nuf said.

All I mean is that it disrepects their culture to edit it. In other words, don't take stuff out because you don't like it. If you can't stand it, then you probably shouldn't be watching it.

What's so revolting about that? :? (Assuming you're talking about what I said still.)

That won't stop them. Look at all the bad American dubs... :(. They just want money.

Exactly. Censorship is just a way of changing something to suit another culture's needs, which is stupid. Since when do people run around putting hammers to others heads? (Dub One Piece) People need to realize that sex, cussing, and violence happen in the real world, and you will deal with it eventually, so why put it off?

I love the Japanese. :P
