Hmmm...so, I work in the anime AND game industries...putting me on top...but I also cosplay sometimes...putting me way at the bottom. So if, say, Miyamoto went to an anime convention as a guest and dressed as Link to get a laugh (never mind that he would never do this) would he be lower than the non-costumed geeks in the room (absurd, I say) or in-between?
And where do amateur J-rockers fit? Also, people who have heard their favorite bands play live may have heard them at anime conventions where they were...possibly...dressed as them.
Well, Miyamoto did that mostly for buisness practices/a good laugh, rather than really thinking cosplay is a really deep subculture. I'd say people who like Japanese music as a genre are probably at the rank of Anime people who demand... and video gamers, but I'd hate to imagine anyone more scary than that.
Wow, I'm pretty high on the Geek Heiarchy chart, amazingly.
So...how about those...things....

Muhammad Ali is incredibly conservative? Now, that might make more sense if you just meant cracker converts. Still, in a lot of folks' minds, I'll betcha John Walker Lindh is seen as a product of liberal moral bankruptcy, and all that paranoid martyr complex bullshiznit.

Well, maybe it's a stereotyped view of African-American radicals. Anti-Semitism does seem to be disturbingly omnipresent there. That, or it's some Israel/Palestine thing. Actually, that does sound right, if only because those asshole neo-cons keep calling all Palestine supporters racist. If nothing else, that's why I won't vote for Bush. And I like Bush, don't get me wrong, he's a genuine optimist and good guy, but when Paul Wolfowitz goes out and says many negative reports from Baghdad are just rumors published by fearful journalists afraid to leave their hotels, it's as if I were Khushnood Butt and I heard the rhythms of samba. But in a bad way.

That would be even better if you had said "ghey."

Did Lindh actually convert, or just go over to the Middle East? I just figured he was a spoiled, rich kid trying to rebel in an the most outrageous fashion he could find, then ended up in the wrong place at the wrong time. Either way I think that generally converts are more radical in their beliefs or at least they have been in my experience and that Islam is generally applied as a pretty conservative philosophy.

Don't really want to get into politics again (since it always ends with people pissed off at each other), but just to throw it out last time there was an animal abuse thread (Japanese dolphin funtime massacre) I was heavily left of the center here. Also I donate money to PETA (LOL yeah I'm an idiot for supporting PETA laugh it up) so that's worth something at least.
Mind if we end this here? These threads never go well, and I think I've proven that I am a crazy liberal on at least one issue. I don't think I have any rightist beliefs that go that far in the opposite direction anyway.
