Your favorite books.

[Longcat51]

Hello, I am here to talk about my favorite works of literature. Among my preferred books are A Clockwork Orange, It, The Stand, Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night Time, Survivor, Fight Club, 1984, Animal Farm, and Brave New World. Give them a read and you shall truly enjoy yourselves.

[cat_eared_L]

Hi, longcat.

Well...my favorite books are Crime and Punishment, Brothers Karamazov, Spring Snow, Heart of Darkness, Wuthering Heights, Brave New World, Catcher in the Rye, Hamlet, Catch 22, The Picture of Dorian Gray, House of Leaves, Lolita, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead, The Stranger, Chuck Palahniuk books, Nietzsche books, and well, lots of others.

[Longcat51]

Ah, you have interesting in books L, my friend, but I suggest that you expand your horizons to a wider degree. Your best bet would be to read something that would expand your mind, instead of this pulp.

[cat_eared_L]

I didn't know Dostoevsky and Shakespeare was considered pulp already.

[Uchiha Obito]

O.O.... I like manga.... lol

[Longcat51]

Ok, perhaps pulp was a tad harsh, my friend, but I believe that you need to read more. Your list is just not up to the right standard. If you need any good book recommendations, please feel free to ask, and I shall immediatedly come to your aid, I promise.

[cat_eared_L]

????????????

[cat_eared_L]

What would you recommend that is at a higher level than those books? Books about mathematics? Science? What? I assure you, I've read plenty of books on most subjects... I don't think I need your recommendations. Prick.

[Uchiha Obito]

..... wow. xD

[Longcat51]

You have deemed me to be a reproductive organ? This is an insult to my very character. I tried my very best to help you, dear, L, and you instead shun me! I am offended, greatly. I did not mean to say that your books were bad or inadequate choices; instead, I only wished to help you learn to read more. Dostoevsky is truly a grandoise writer whose prose is endearing to the eyes, but it matters not when you read so few books. You must be stronger; read more and more, L! Learn as much as you can; Become great!

[cat_eared_L]

....you've never read Dostoevsky have you?

[Longcat51]

But of course I have read Dostoevsky! His great writing, with its many ambiguous moral representations astounded me with their depth. Please, before you judge me, my friend, consider the possibility that I am extremely well read, which I am.

[cat_eared_L]

Well, then I ask you to kindly return the favor and please consider the possibility that I too, am extremely well read.

[Longcat51]

Certainly, L, you are quite well read, but not to my level just yet. I seek only to spread the knowledge that I have been gifted with. It is your choice to accept it, my dear friend.

[cat_eared_L]

Oh, I'm afraid you misunderstand. By consider the possibility that I am well read, I meant please consider the possibility that I am more well read than you. But it's really of no concern to me. Think of me what you will. heh.

[Longcat51]

Ah, how arrogant of you, L. I have clearly demonstrated that I am more well read than you are, but I have expressed it in an infinitely more mature fashion that you just have. If you wish to be my friend, please, put me on your level. I am being fair enough to you, am I not?

[RasenganWarrior]

How about we assume that you are both very well read.

That way we can stop the competition and consider talking about actual literature.

My favorite comment easily though.

O.O.... I like manga.... lol

[cat_eared_L]

That way we can stop the competition and consider talking about actual literature.



But becoming indignant is so fun.

[Longcat51]

Out of curiosity, my friends, I must ask one question? What is manga? Isn't it a comicbook based on cartoons?

[RasenganWarrior]

This is true, but it can also be equaly fun to have a civilized debate.....

Aw... Who am I kidding i like a good rumble....

This is my reply (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3TaPg5-KSFY)

Out of curiosity, my friends, I must ask one question? What is manga? Isn't it a comicbook based on cartoons?

No. Not necesarily, but it is similar.

Manga is a japanese style of comicbook that is generaly black and white. Naruto for instance, was originaly a manga that has been adapted into anime and translated into english and other languages. The point being generaly it is the other way around.

[Longcat51]

Ah, so it is adapted from a cartoon, I see.

[Uchiha Obito]

No, usually it starts out as a manga.. than if it's popular enough it eventually becomes an anime (japanese cartoon, just incase you didn't know what anime means).

[Longcat51]

Ah, I see, so the cartoons come from the comicbooks. Thank you very much for clarifying this, my dear friend.

[Uchiha Obito]

yuppers... I mean, uh-- No problem my dear friend. :)

[Longcat51]

Ah, thank you, so you appreciate cartoons like Naruto as well, I see. Truly one of the best creations to have come out of America.

[Uchiha Obito]

er.. Japan. lol

[Longcat51]

Please, do not try try to correct me with false information, I find it rather insulting. Please, do not let your obsession with Japan overshadow the fact that Naruto is American.

[cat_eared_L]

ｱﾆﾒは日本からきました。

[Uchiha Obito]

no dude, lol, I'm not trying to insult you. lol
I'm just saying that I thought that naruto the manga/anime came from japan. That's all. But please, explain, why do you say that naruto is American?

[Longcat51]

Because it is in English, and it is a cartoon.

[Uchiha Obito]

uhh.. no, they dub it over with English voices so that people in America can enjoy it to. It originally came from japan.

[Longcat51]

Actually, it was likely dubbed into Japanese, while it was English in the original. And, once again, it is American.

[Uchiha Obito]

lol, no, I'm pretty sure you're wrong. But, I'm not trying to make enemies here. Please explain why you think that.

[Longcat51]

But I am not wrong. It is an American cartoon, this is an undeniable fact. You must accept this as reality.

[Uchiha Obito]

No. It's not. If you have no proof to back it up, than uh... why should I do such a thing? Besides, everyone knows, anime generally comes from Japan.... If you continue to tell me I'm wrong about something I pride myself to be very knowledgeable in, than I will....... get pissed... xD

besides, this is getting very off-topic, why doesn't someone else say there favorite books?


EDIT:

read up dude... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naruto

[Longcat51]

Then, dear sir why didn't you reply with a post about your favorite books?
Additionally, we all understand that wikipedia is unreliable, often holding faulty information. I will not allow you to put a pro japanese slant on something that I am proud of my country creating. Naruto is a cartoon from America, you can deny this all you want, but it will be no use.

I am sorry to admit this but for once Uchiha Obito (aka Cameron is correct)

Naruto Is originaly produced in Japan by Tokyo TV it has be subtitled by fans and is currently on its 247th episode

Cartoon network has purchased the rights to it and is releasing the series with an english dubbing. But its origins are japanese as is the entire series along with its four movies and other releases that have gone directly to home video DVDs and video cassets

Please look into this before you acuse someone else of being wrong.

I'm sorry to contradict you but if you are mistaken.

[Longcat51]

It is disheartening to see that you still grasp onto this irrational belief that Naruto is Japanese. It is an American cartoon, and that is a fact. Do not let your obsessive love for Japan cloud your judgement. Certainly, I have my obsessions, too, but I do not let it interfere with the facts that I utilize in conversations.

[RasenganWarrior]

You are correct in only one thing

Naruto is released in America

everything else not so much how about i show you episodes of naruto that have never been shown in english.

will that convince you

you have no proof for your claim so allow me to give you some to mine
this is episode 220 the last episode before the 2.5 year time skip to shippuden

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TZaj4btA99M

[Longcat51]

Whoa, they dubbed that into Japanese ALREADY? Quite amazing, really. Sorry, but it's an American cartoon, that's it. The facts hurt, but that's life.

[RasenganWarrior]

how can they dub it into another language if it doesnt exsist in english anwser that

here this is a sight you should trust read the titles

http://www.talknaruto.com/forumdisplay.php?f=6

[Longcat51]

Everybody can make a mistake, the forum mods included. It is your own choice to remain blissfully ignorant of a reality. It already exists in English and was dubbed into japanese; albeit, fairly quickly. Please, don't turn American cartoon treasures into Japanese heirlooms.

there go there

[Longcat51]

Nice try, wikipedia is full of lies, and would never be accepted in a scholarly institution. Read the source of the article: Wikipedia.

[RasenganWarrior]

that is not wikipedia

[RasenganWarrior]

here this is an acredited site

skip the into and go and view the credits

[Longcat51]

The website has wikipedia listed as a source. Nice try.

[RasenganWarrior]

why wont you listen to reason
i dare you to find a sight that says that naruto was drawn written and originaly produced in america that can be sighted

http://naruto.viz.com/site.php

that is Vis Media click tv then cast and crew yo can skip the intro

sorry forgot to put that in

or here

[RasenganWarrior]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K3QftE_ZrUc

this is footage of the credits of naruto's english translation on the very first page it says produced by TV tokyo

[Longcat51]

English translation? Then it is not the original, because it is originally in English. I am now falling for your tricks.

[RasenganWarrior]

just watch what you consider to be the original and read the credits thats all

[Longcat51]

The original has no credits. Regardless, I know well enough that it is American.

[RasenganWarrior]

the original has credits aswell but they have been chopped of because no one watches them

all im saying is watch it on cartoon network and read those credits it is a product of TV tokyo thats it nothing else to it

[Longcat51]

Yes, you finally understand that the original is American, I have inferred from your post. About time.

[RasenganWarrior]

no i have not im sorry if gramaticaly seemed that way but if thats the case that is not what i intended just watch the credits thats all

[Longcat51]

But the original English version does not have credits, so, why?

[Uchiha Obito]

Give it up Brian... nobodies this stupid... He's just messing with you dude.

[Longcat51]

Look, I am being very serious. This is an American cartoon and that is all there is to it! Face the facts already. I am not making this up, I am not playing the fool, I am being as serious as I can be.

[Uchiha Obito]

wow... Than let's just say Anime isn't your best subject ok dude? lol

I'm saying "dude" allot tonight aren't I? lol xD

[RasenganWarrior]

but wrong w/e

cameron if he wants to be wrong let him be thats all

[Uchiha Obito]

but wrong w/e

cameron if he wants to be wrong let him be thats all

I came to that conclusion about a page back... lol xD

[RasenganWarrior]

sorry i just like people to have accurate information

i allerted the administrators of this sight of your false advertising and claims that naruto is actualy american they should be in touch with you shortly maybe they will listen to you

[Longcat51]

Quite full of yourself, aren't you both? If you are wrong, at the very least, don't say that your opponent is, too. Just admit if you're wrong, there's no shame in it.

[Uchiha Obito]

LOL! your a persistent one aren't you? It's over, you lost.

[RasenganWarrior]

the funny thing here is that cameron is right and someone who speeks as eloquintly as you is wrong

[Longcat51]

Really, you both are so arrogant. It's ok to be wrong, I will not fault you in the least. But be honest about your faults, and they will surely turn into something great.

[Uchiha Obito]

Maybe he hates Japan.... Maybe that's it.. lol

[RasenganWarrior]

the same goes for you im through with this

you claim so much yet have no founding justification other than your word

[Uchiha Obito]

you claim so much yet have no founding justification other than your word

lol, just like my little sister. (no offense, this just reminds me of an argument with her)

[Longcat51]

And your only sources come from wikipedia and pirated youtube videos. I just do not care enough to look for evidence. But I know that I am right, so why should I care? You are both making a huge deal out of this. It's silly, really.

[Uchiha Obito]

... Or maybe he's insane?

[Longcat51]

Do you continue to insult me just because you are wrong? It's really silly now, and immature.

[Uchiha Obito]

Do you continue to insult me just because you are wrong? It's really silly now, and immature.

oh.. I apologize than. :)

[RasenganWarrior]

[Longcat51]

What are you talking about? Can we get back to the situation on hand.

[RasenganWarrior]

[Longcat51]

Can you honestly please tell me what you are talking about?

[RasenganWarrior]

the site you sent me to

i forwarded the message to a moderator

[Uchiha Obito]

You are truly messed up... As a human my first reaction was to hate you... But as a Christian I know to have pitty on you. I'm sorry.

[RasenganWarrior]

dont worry cameron he wont be around much longer he just messed up big time after posting that link

[Longcat51]

Look, I really don't know what you are talking about. I removed the website when you complained. A friend of mine gave me the website saying that it was direct evidence. Can we get back to the matter at hand, gentlemen?

[RasenganWarrior]

put it back up then so an administrator can see it then lets see what happens

[Longcat51]

If you want me to, then, fine. But don't click it.
http://halflife2.zoy.org/ warning, do not click.

[RasenganWarrior]

that is because its got a virus or something in it

[Longcat51]

Really, I apologize. I had no idea, none at all. I am not friends with the person that gave me this anymore. He has lost my respect.

[RasenganWarrior]

well then any other "evidence" to support your claim and plz click on it your self first

[Longcat51]

My evidence is a lack of your evidence. I don't want to search it out; I only used the link because my (ex)friend said it was evidence.

[RasenganWarrior]

*sigh* in a real debate you would loose and also well there would be no debate because its hard to debate fact

me: the earth is round
you: no it's flat
me: its round its a fact
you: its flat and i can prove it
me: lets see you try
you: i dont have to

[Longcat51]

I'm sure that I would loose. Your evidence is just not solid. And I really don't care enough to look for evidence. Fact is that it's an American cartoon.

[RasenganWarrior]

you have been reported to an admin. that is currently on so ide get your story straigh pretty quick if i were you

fyi you are now on my ignore list

[Near]

My favorite books? Tasty ones.

[Mikaya]

Naruto did not originate from america. It was created by TV tokyo.
