You really don't know what you're talking about, do you?

I'm not really embarrassed.

The first site you listed specifically goes into how Buddhism is NOT a religion to many people.

I wasn't asking about the amount of money requested, but how it was utilized.

It's not, actually. I'm not a monk in a temple, nor do I have to practice the tenets of the philosophy to believe in nirvana, reincarnation or bodhisattvas.

Buddhism isn't a religion. And, as an agnostic, I very well can believe that atheism is a stupid practice. It's utterly fatalistic and undeterministic.

"You" people? I'm an agnostic Buddhist. I don't subscribe to Christian theology. I just don't feel the need to interpret it literally, nor believe that one translation suggests anywhere near the original intent.

Just because the English translation uses the term "serpent" doesn't mean the original intention was in reference of a snake.

The Bible never states that the creature from the Garden was a snake. Also, parrots can speak.

Atheists are stupid.

Actually, Jesus specifically said that he wasn't going to change anything. The old Laws are still in place.

I just don't see the difference between a group personally paying for costumes and having other people help pay for costumes.

That's not true at all. There have been dozens of fan projects, including films and comics, that did not require licensing.

The reason these small, independent groups film established characters/properties is because they would get an enormous amount of attention for such a project that they wouldn't get otherwise.

I have a serious question here: Is there an instance where a Kickstarter for such a project would be considered okay?

I just don't see the appeal of this show. It's just very derivative, and not in a good way.

I'm a member of Jacurutu, the largest Dune web forum, with over 600 users and the consensus is that God-Emperor of Dune is the best. Even those that don't necessarily like it recognize it for its status.

The solution isn't about saving rupees, but no longer having to sail back to Tingle after every Triforce piece just to translate it.

I am circumcised and I consider it mutilated, so your opinion is just that.

I used to watch this show. It was consistently a poor representations of victims, perpetrators and crimes. The lead characters are all horrible, emotionally-unstable individuals who have ruined and sometimes ended lives with their vigilante justice.
