Comment on Look Who Owns The USA… by HouseLife:

I admit my mind shuts off as soon as I realize what the Tsunami and the power plant and all the repairs will do to affect that. Unfortunately, that shredding paper of an economy we have will continue to shred, but until we step to the side of it and acknowledge that it’s just a sheet, we’ll never let it be what it is, and it will continue to be what we make of it.

  @ Anon 14:57 You ignored the fact that the above was mentioning elections after the US had intervened and given them the chance to ACTUALLY have elections. Now if I’m not mistaken, of course, some of their old power plays that they were used to came into effect again and caused some issues, but only a fool wouldn’t expect that in some form in the initial days. Iran and Saddam-ruled Iraq were obviously dictatorships. In a very strange way China and pre-US Iraq and Iran are popcorn-worthy …

  Economy is all an agreement anyway. In the end, realistically, you could take the currency out of it and it’s still a trade in products and services, it would just require a change in societal perception. It doesn’t matter, this system doesn’t really work anyway. Those that don’t function will collapse rightfully, those that do will grow stronger, and then the smart ones will follow the ones who are doing things right and survive. It’s bar graphs that show increasing debt and all that are just …

  Apple isn’t doing horribly. That was much like facebook, where there was really nothing there but what you saw. Apple does deal in physical products (that happen to deal in air :P) so they actually do have merit in what they do, even though I dislike their products and their practices myself.

  Overcrowded is the problem. Unfortunately they’re trying to hop a trend as the trend is dying. They either must reinvent their social gaming to usher in a new form, or they’re going to go with substandard rapid creations like that crap that was posted here the other day and fail even further. For now they can blame Wada, but it really wasn’t him who screwed everything up.

  Anyone who knows anything about stocks knows that eventually a stock based on air will rise and fall like nobody’s business, I just didn’t expect it to crash so spectacularly in a few days. I am actually happy.

  Well, that depends. GITS had its affect back in the 20th century, however technically so did Evangelion, so it’s a little strange. I definitely see some decent presence in this list. Haruhi being high is correct, it redefined so much with its creation it deserves its place.

• Top 25 Anime Girls Love & Guys Hate:
  

  It’s not ruining it at all. This yet again is the same bullshit as with games. The series have nothing wrong with them. Only the fans. Nobody deserves to have their worthless opinions heard when they dislike a series because of the overzealous fans of that series, in either direction. Intense love and intense hate leading to mindlessness has nothing whatsoever to do with the show itself.
