I rarely share editorials. Although I consider people who collect news to be "informed" on current events and their opinions valuable, they are just that, opinions. Early today I had the opportunity to talk to a middle aged Fillipina lady. I mentioned to her about the new Phillipine president...

Since Rodrigo Duterte became president of the Philippines two months ago, the country has waged a vicious war against the drug trade. The number of victims will soon reach 2,000, a horrific number. The mounting death toll should come as no surprise. Duterte campaigned on a law and order...

Oh. So you think this is normal behavior? I am not sure what media you are familar with or what media you seem to be implying is better than US/Western media but no, this is uncommon behavior on such a grand scale. People become reporters to report the truth and news agencies often seek to live...

UFC on Fox 21 I went 4 for 4, vindication. To be fair, I picked 2 underdogs too. Main Event Damain Maia finshed Condit by rear naked choke in under 2 minutes. Once again he called for his title shot. I think he will get it after the Thompson vs Woodley fight. I think he will win too. I...

A silly mecha anime almost entirely based on fanservice. What is not to like? Not sure how they got this past the censors to be honest. This is the cleanest smut I have ever seen but no matter how you shine it, smut is still smut. What is not to like about that though? There really isn't that...

Whats more it is clear the Republicans don't own Trump either. Everyone is scared of him because he isn't another bought and paid for politician. Not saying he would be a great president, maybe not even a good one but he wouldn't be a corrupt piece of shit that has been doubledealing the people...

If I share the torrent in the Hentai Torrent section no one will ever see it due to the spammer there (at least he always seemed like a spammer to me). So here:

UFC on Fox 21 I usually prefer to watch the weigh-in videos before I make my picks but I don't think I will watch the weigh-ins....well, maybe just to see Paige Van Zant. Demian Maia vs Carlos Condit Tough match-up. I would usually pick Condit but I think this is Maias' last chance at a title...

Gives the term "Mutant Ninjas" new life. Not a bad story actually, it has "Romeo & Juliet" overtones but plenty of interesting and imaginative fight scenes. It is not without fanservice but that seems mostly incidental to the story, there is more gore than nudity. The pace of this story is...

I thought you post was just fine. Hello and be welcome here.

The whole area is a bit murky but I would in all good conscience say that you are safe. Consider the infamous Traci Lords videos, even though these were clearly porn and when it was revealed she appeared in her early videos when she was 16 and the videos were removed from the shelves......I...

That would cover the demographics for most all anime though (keep in mind that the most popular games in Japan are Dating Sim games). Also a majority of anime, if not based on a manga series or a light novel series, usually have a manga or light novel based on them afterwards. I do agree that...

Depends on what you mean by "the rest". There are other anime on par with Titan. It is a pretty hardcore story though, American anime is generally anything but hardcore. It also shows a lot of imagination, which isn't unusual in anime but not something that American toons have in common as they...

Finally saw The Hateful Eight and the The Revenant. Poor excuses for westerns, more "period" pieces. Not sure how The Revenant ended up with Oscars but that whole process has been curropt and full of politics for some years now so I stopped following it. Neither movie was all that great and I...
