Under the law, you can use deadly force if you are in fear of your life. You never have to wait for a criminal to kill you before you are allowed to shoot him. This does not include verbal or non life threatening situations. Whats more under the law, you can use deadly force to protect the life of a third party. If I saw a man who was going to use a crowbar, knife, gun, 2 by 4, piece of pipe to off any one of you reading this, I could legally shoot him._________Any woman confronted by a rapist does not have to be raped first before she could use deadly force against the rapist.________But the issue on this forumn is the fact that in at least 2 dozen kids anime programs I have seen. The boys are using mechas to fight invaders. Little girls are using magic wands to fight a variety of creatures. And their average age is 10._________Minky Momo in the 1980 series fought gangsters, kidnappers, bank robbers, and other HUMAN criminals. Vifam saw Roddy Bart and other preteens, fighting a war. Raijin Oh, Ganvulgar, Gosawuer all saw 10 year olds waging war. Akazukin Cha Cha saw the preteens killing a wide assortment of villians for 52 episodes, whenever Liiya wasn't eating. Creamy Mami had far fewer fights. But the 10 year old girl was in love with a 13 year old boy. TABOO._________None of these shows have been released in the U S because they show preteens shooting guns and killing the villians. TABOO. And the magical girl genre shows with the exception of Card Captors have not been released in the U S because they show 10 year old girls in love with older boys. TABOO.____________I recall U S shows like Herculoids, The Impossibles, Frankenstein Jr. Space Ghost, and quite a few others being forced off the airwaves due to villians being blown up. The old PC crowd said this was unacceptable. As was Tom and Jerry, Speedy Gonzales, and too many others to mention._________The editing of Card Captors is infamous among CCS fans. They cry about Rika's crush on Mr.Terada being edited out. All the scenes of Chihara grabbing Yamazaki by the neck. The unedited Japanese version was much better._________The Japanese wonder why Americans find these things objectionable. Don't 10 year old girls fall in love? Wouldn't a class of 18 4th graders rise to the challenge if the earth was being invaded?________I can only speak for myself. If I was 10 years old and I had a digimon that could take out a gang, a rapist, or a single armed robber. I would do so. And I believe most kids would do so in a heartbeat. The Japanese are not white American liberals, and this means they are not PC. Their entertainment in Japan is not PC.__________I have had quite a few conversations with PC people on this subject. They consider anime to be subversive. SUBVERSIVE!!!!!________Anything they cannot edit to suit them is subversive.________So I call for unedited kids anime. U S kids will not be harmed by it at all.________I just hope they aren't ruining Detective Conan, ( Case Closed ) That is an awesome program.________On the subject of Huck Finn. I remember 10 or 12 years ago a college professor wanted his class to write papers on why Huck Finn should be banned. 5 students wrote papers defending it being in U S schools. The professor gave these 5 students Cs. All the other got As. Don't mess with the PC people. Unless you can take what they will try to do to browbeat you.
