Sorry about this, but my friend wanted the post to look like this...
 Not much difference if you ask me, but he wants me to re post this with
his "new" additions...

==============================

<I don't believe that's the definition of hypocritical.
Anyway, I'd judge *any* of the characters being rude, it just happens
that
it's Ranma under discussion.>

My opinion here, but I think that you're just typing to get people off
your
back, and not really gonna be behind your statement. Of course, I am
getting
paranoid.

<If you're someone's property, you're their slave.  However, if they just
treat you like trash, that means they simply hate you. <shrug>>

Sometimes people get treated like trash through accident, or because the
person doesn't know better. Konatsu was treated like property and like
trash. He was treated like a slave and was hated by his step mother and
(step?) sisters.

<Read the Battle Dougi story.>

Never answered the question.

<He deserves it, though, so I don't really think it's a bad thing that
she's
doing.>

Again not providing an answer. Just throwing out an opinion to back your
point.

<:P>

See! :)

<Yeah, shit does happen.  But just because everyone's doing it doesn't
make
it any less rude, you know.>

Also doesn't mean that since a person is challenging the status quo, he's
automatically right.

<On this ML, or in real life?  In both cases, the answer is 'yes.' :P 
(More
like when I say something obnoxious or extremely annoying.  The day
before
school got out for the holidays, I got a death threat from a schmuck I
know
who doesn't like me a whole lot.  Ain't life grand? ;P)  >

I get the feeling that it's your fault! :P

<Mousse apparently just wanted something as the stakes for the battle,
and
since Shampoo was off-limits from Cologne's say-so, he just picked Akane
instead.  But that's not the issue, nor the problem - the problem is that
Ranma agreed to it, thinking that she was his to give away.>

Convenient how you remember the situation isn't it? :P

<No, he didn't; he made faces at her while hanging on the rope.  It was
Cologne who cut them both down.>

As I see it; Both saw Akane dangling from the tree, and their reaction to
that was 'He can't have her!' and at that incident, Ryoga wasn't leaping
to
get Ranma away from her and keep Akane from hitting the ground. Ryoga was
still standing there, and was calmly waiting for Ranma to fly to him.

<At that point, I'd say he had a rather one-track mind; it's doubtful
that
he even noticed that she was there...>

And if it was Ranma, it would be 'he doesn't care', 'he thinks that she's
his to hurt and allow hurt to come to!'

I'm really fed up with your attitude on Ranma. Sorry I couldn't help from
letting my emotions from influencing this.

name... hiroshin-ken)
