On the front page of the newspaper today, I found something somewhat stupid. It's not so much that the subject matter is stupid, but rather, the timing. The main feature in the middle of the front page was about Internet bullying. Now, this kind of news is so old, it's grown mold on itself. Apparently, the writer of this article must have just discovered the world-wide web for the first time. Now, there may be a lot of parents out there who don't know of this Internet "past time", but they should have been informed of this matter much sooner if they were going to bring it up at all. At this point, it's really too late for anyone to do anything about it. Children will always think the only way to raise themselves is to stomp others down. Good parenting is a dead concept. Apparently, so is useful news.
A friend of mine linked me to a great page to denounce all of the jerks out there who give everyone shit about watching dubbed anime.

This guy constructs his arguments so awesomely that there is no way to refute them. The best part is that he makes it a point to try to understand the subtard point of view. Though most of the subtard arguments get owned completely, there are one or two that are legitimate, and he makes it a point to agree with them at least.
"You're no less a 'true' anime fan if you choose to watch anime in your own language."
Watching subbed anime isn't the curse, the curse is the assholes who make subbed anime into a religion that must be forced down everyone's throats. Fuck them, and good night.

I can't seem to go to any message board, or anywhere on YouTube, without seeing comments from children that tell people to die. I don't know anything about you, but I disagree with every truthful statement you have made, and you will go kill yourself because I told you to.
Are these idiots for real? Do they really expect people to just go and kill themselves because they were ordered to by a complete stranger? Why are they even wishing death on innocent people to begin with? Is it just some kind of superiority complex or jealousy?! What drives this kind of thought process?!
Humans must inherently be born evil. The only reason we fight our nature is because we also have a survival instinct, and trying to take on the world is about as suicidal as you can get. I suppose these children haven't developed a will to live yet. These are the only conclusions I can come up with anyway.

If only they could really make something this awesome!
For those of you who use Firefox as your web browser of choice, Here's a little tip I came across recently that will help you load pages (such as this one) a whole lot faster.
It's called pipelining and it allows the browser to open up multiple connections when loading a page instead of pulling everything bit by bit single file. Here's how to do it:
Step 1:
In the address bar type "about:config" (without the quotes)
Step 2:
In the filter box type "network.http" (again without quotes)
Step 3:
Find "network.http.pipelining" and "network.http.proxy.pipelining" and double click both to set the value to true.
Step 4:
Find "network.http.pipelining.maxrequest" double click and set the value to something like 30 (for 30 simultaneous connections).
Step 5:
Close and restart the browser for the changes to take affect.
