You know this is funny, because I just was at AnimeonDvD looking around and I found a big huge thread that Vicious started based on this thread. I guess it should have been obvious to me, but I didn't think a person who loved and supported R1's like Vicious does would even post on HK boards, let alone to the extent he is on them, like on ALL of them. but he said that he likes the dynamic of the HK boards and the information there, and I can understand his angle on that one.

And were you serious about being Muslim Vicious? Are you ethnicly muslim, or did you convert?

I don't necerraily love and support R1's that badly. There are certain companies I can't stand like Viz and sometimes Funi. Like I said in that thread at AoD, I think I just like arguing or debating more than anything else, since I was trying to somewhat defend boots on there and I 'm trying to defend R1's here. There is no real defense for them, but it pisses me off how people on AoD think that boots are horrible, but fansubs are OK. I got 2 of them there to say that they are both bad. so I accomplished my mission there.

I didn't know you're a member of AoD also. what's your username there? And I post at alot of HK boards, because I find alot of the people at AoD to be annoying. They all have this holier than thou attitude and think if they spend $1000 a month on anime, that makes them better than you or something. Also, alot of them are older people, and so they're not as fun to talk to as younger people. Also, I find the owners of the HK forums, JJ, Cashan, Bella, to not be as stuck up as Chris at AoD and to be much friendlier and much more accessible as well.

And I was born in Pakistan. And came here when I was 3. So, I was born a Muslim.

It's not the practice, but the attitude of people, who act like they are entitled to R1 rips, that annoys us.

For once, I agree with him. It's the attitude that bothers me more than anything else. I mean there are some affordable R1's out there. some that might only cost a few dollars more than the HK's. I just hate it when people don't even give the R1's a second thought.

If it bothers you that much perhaps you can donate some of the hordes of money you seem to spend on anime to me. Or better yet you can donate some those R1's to me.

I ain't giving jack away. You don't even know how broke I am at the moment. I probably have less in my bank account right now than you do. Actually, I can guarantee I have less than you do unless yours is negative as well. Like I said, I honetly could care less about peoples buying habits. It's just the attitude that bothers me more than anything else.

But anyways, this was just to say, you should buy r1s atleast once in a while,

That's basically all I'm asking. At least consider the R1's. See if you can find them cheap, and then if you can't and can't afford them, then buy the Hk's. But don't instantly dismiss them without giving them any consideration.
