I'm cool!  I spit on your geeky copy of Final Fantasy -- whoa, is that the 
anthology?? >>

			What's this? A girl flirting with me? Incredible! ;) 
Actually the Internet seems to make me more appealing to girls unfortunatly 
they usually live very far away. Arigato and welcome back to the ML.

			Kim:

				Thanks for calling me dear it was the first 
time since nineth grade since a girl called me by a term of affection or a 
pet name. If anyone cares when I was a freshman in high school there was a 
sophmore that called me "Funny Bunny" she stopped calling me that after I 
began trying to flirt with her.

			Jim: Thanks for the information about the Touch 
fansubs. I placed my order and hopefully they will get back to me soon.

			Religion:

				Since we are talking about Catholicism and 
it's laws, I read an article in the NY Times about a 1,100 Catholics in 
Rochester forming a new church because they were excomunicated with their 
priest for supporting radical reforms of the Church like the acceptance of 
homosexual couples and the belief that women should be allowed to become 
ordained priests. Since I am Jewish I am occasionally confused about all the 
schisms between the various Christain denominations (even though I seem to 
know more about the religion that a decent amount of the Christains I know.) 
However there are several assumptions that people say about Judisim that 
annoy me greatly. They are:

				1. "Judism is Christainity without Christ but 
it has silly dietitic laws." This is incorrect because while Judism and 
Christainity share a decent amount of philosophical beliefs, Judism has many 
important philsophical aspects 
that are different from Christainity. If you want details please e-mail me 
privately.
			
				2. "Jews are not a race and/or ethnic group." 
Also incorrect, since their is a genetic disease that only Jews can get; I 
believe Jews have every right to consider themselves a seperate race and/or 
ethnic group. I forgot the name of the disease but it basically kills babies 
who have the disease  (in order to get the diease both parents must carry the 
gene for it and if only one parent has the gene then the child becomes a 
carrier of the gene.) Until a few years ago, if two Jews married they had to 
be blood tested before they were married to make see if either or both of 
them carried the gene for the disease.

				3. "Jews have less of a right to Israel then 
Muslims and Christains" This is probably one of the most anti-semitic things 
I have heard in my life. Jerusalem is just as important and necessary to Jews 
as it is to Christains and Muslims. I know quite a few people who say that 
Jews have been acting like imperialstic bastards in Israel since 1948 and 
that they always shame the Muslims. Of course they conviently forget that the 
Jews had been exiled from Israel since 70 AD by the Romans and that the 
Muslims conquered Jersualem from the Christains and then did not treat the 
other religious groups in Jerusalem very well either.

				BTW to Bradster. I know I said we should 
avoid talking about such stuff on this ML. But people always will so I might 
as well get my feelings and opinions in. I recant my post about avoiding such 
subjects and I am very sorry for making it because I have not followed my own 
advice.

				Those who hunt elves:

						I bought the first tape of 
Those who hunt eleves to day. It was pretty funny but the review I read for 
it in Animerica made the episodes seem more hentaish than they actaully were.
