Dear Friends, I have just read and signed the online petition: "Don't Ban Anime In America" hosted on the web by PetitionOnline.com, the free online petition service, at: www.PetitionOnline.com/anime101/I personally agree with what this petition says, and I think you might agree, too. If you can spare a moment, please take a look, and consider signing yourself. Best wishes, Des |

Are there really a bunch of morons who are trying to have anime banned in The States? Either way, I signed.

Well, if it's banned, it can't be licensed, so it's free for download  Anywayz, when I hear 'US bans anime', the first word that bobs up in my mind is 'conservatives'. |

Now now...conservatives aren't the only ones that think anime is evil, perverted, porn (I know people that think this), etc. Though they're probably the majority of them...

Besides them, I think it's only individuals who think all that stuff. And anime is only porn to those who didn't even watch anime, but hentai/ecchi (and the average non-conservative doesn't even mind that stuff).
Here's a nice quote:
"Everyone knows that more intelligent creatures (humans, dolphins, chimps, ect.) tend to have sex for fun"
"But some people believe that sex for any reason but procreation is wrong"
"Put two and two together"

This petition has been going on since I started with anime when I was in seventh grade. I'm now a junior in college.
IT'S NOT GOING TO HAPPEN. It's against the law for them to ban it because it's covered under freedom of speech. Just like how Playboy or Hustler won't run out anytime soon.
I'm so sick of hearing this "OHEMGEE THEY BAN ANIME WUT SHULD WE DO". This petition has existed for at least EIGHT years now.
The bottom line is that they can't because if they COULD HAVE they would have and it's constitutionality is unsound.
Now go read the constitution before you get all in a huff about this stuff.

^This is the first I've heard of it, but I'll take your word for it about the petition being around for so long. Meh, I don't care either way, so I haven't (nor am I) signing it.

Wow, you sure know how to kill the mood, don't you? Yep - I try. It pisses me off that this petition has been around for so long. It also pisses me off that someone even wrote this up - the government can't just ban entertainment - if they could they would have banned pornography a LOOOOONG time ago. It's under free speech - if they don't ban girls doing it with horses they can't ban animated girls being tentacle raped by fictitious monsters. |

Now now, girls doing it with horses is wrong *hides horse porn collection* but yes, banning entertainment is wrong as well. Unfortunately, we have the very 'legal' countermeasure called CENSORSHIP to effectively achieve the same result. The series stays, but the entertainment is gone ...
