why are some anime's released in the united states and not dubbed in english?

why are some anime's released in the united states and not dubbed in english?
i don't buy anime that is not dubbed in english primarily because i can't speak japanese i will learn japanese one day mostly to watch anime that is only in japanese but i can't find logic in not dubbing an anime in english there are not that many people in america that speak japanese fluently i find it kind of lazy of them to not dub it it seems like they wanted to make money without doing the work but i could be wrong it could be a japanese company licensing it in america which would make sense that they wouldn't dub it. i know a lot of american anime fans like to watch anime in japanese but i also know they like to watch the english dub first so they can get a understanding of the story because when your watching anime in a language you don't understand you have to use subtitles and with subtitles it's either you look at the subtitles and have no idea what's going on or you look at the screen and see very little of the subtitles. so anyways what is the reason they release some anime's in america without dubbing it first. i could understand if they were to dub it in spanish because a lot of american's speak spanish

Because the company that licensed it believed they could sell the anime for more profit in Japanese with English subtitles instead of dubbing it, or the company didn't have enough money to actually dub it.
2 :
The reason is simple, money. Releasing a movie with subtitles costs a fraction of a release dubbed in English. I actually prefer subtitles, for some reason I get a better feel for the spirit of the film when I watch it in the native language.

Could legalizing marijuana lower gun violence in the United States?

Could legalizing marijuana lower gun violence in the United States?
I am a huge supporter of the 2nd Amendment, and i am also very much for legalization of marijuana. America has about 10000 gun crimes each year, is it because of my AK 47, of course not, that is absurd. It is because of the huge amount of drugs on the street, which leads to the animosity between gangs. Most of the money used to buy these hardcore expensive drugs, comes from the most used illicit drug in this country, marijuana. By taking this away from drug dealers they will not be able to spend money on expensive drugs, and that it there only way of making money to buy illegal drugs. Am i saying that this will stop hardcore drug use and gun violence, of course not, but it will however make the drugs and guns much harder to get. But my question to you is, do you think legalizing weed could have a large impact on gun violence, and har drugs? If so, why would any sensible person be against the legalization of weed? Remember the drug business is just like an ecosystem. Say you take grass out of nature, many species would go extinct. Marijuana enables dealers to buy other drugsand guns. Also, if you know anything about drug dealing and drugs, you know you don't just start selling crack and cocaine.

remember guns don't kill people people kill people, this means that there are more murderers in america than europe don't change the law, change countries

I doubt it as the illicit drug trade for harder drugs will continue with or without the profits from marijuana... (and there is a lot more money to be made with the more expensive, easier to transport and distribute "hard drugs").... But I think there are plenty of other great reasons to legalize pot, like the taxes that could be collected, less dangerous drug than alcohol, etc.. funny how the wrestler hood guy assumes that "drugs" are a "black" problem when statistics show that the average pot smoker is white...
7 :
Yes. <sarcasm alert> Think of all of the shootings that occur over purchasing legal substances like milk, bread, cigarettes, and beer. The papers are FULL of milk violence. Chocolate milk gangs are among the most violent. Almost every day we hear of a couple of people being gunned down, when a back-alley bread buy goes wrong. People getting shot in the head over a dozen bagels. It is sickening. Well, we DO have to scratch our heads and wonder why only ILLEGAL substances generate so much crime, don't we? Actually, I suppose the intelligent people don't have to wonder that. Sadly, the idiots will never question the United States' failed, illegal, unconstitutional scam called the "War on Drugs". When Prohibition ended, alcohol violence stopped over night. When Marijuana is legalized, the violence surrounding it will stop just as quickly.

I don't see weed as having a major impact on violence. All it ever did for me was make me hungry and very mellow. What I do see is the Crack cocaine users going ballistic in a heartbeat and if they haven't hocked their weapon, they are willing to use it. That and heroin addicts in need of a fix. Crack heads will steal from you then hang around and help you look for what they stole!
3 :
It's ridiculous how the gun lobby tries to blame gun violence on everything except guns. First it was violent movies, then video games, then sentencing laws, then cigarettes, and now marijuana. High gun ownership = high crime. You can be in denial all you want, it's not going to change basic facts. As you said, America has about 10000 gun crimes each year, and only a small fraction of them have anything to do with marijuana.
4 :
I strongly believe that there would be a lot less crime of every nature if everyone would just get up and smoke a joint in the morning!

is there anywhere in the united states where a person can liveoff the land without buying it?

is there anywhere in the united states where a person can liveoff the land without buying it?
i am considering (probably will never even try it lol)taking one full year of my life to live as simply as i can, kind of a walden like experience but maybe not quite so crude or secluded. i am thinking of buying an old school buss converting it into a motor home selling all my possessions to pay off my debts (lucky for me i COULD pay off all my debts) and just trying a new way of living. no time card to punch no work stress no major commitments no horrible debt to try to pay off,just live day to day and find ways to make enough money for basic food clothing and fuel. it would also be nice to be able to plant a garden and maybe make some of my money off of the sale of produce but that is where the problem comes in, where could i settle down for a growing season and use the land without having to buy or rent it? people used to be able to do that, that is technically the "natural" way of things, is it possible in America to do such a thing? if so where?

I think you have the US confused with a free country. Yes, it's possible to live off the grid, so to speak, but it's becoming harder and harder with every passing year. Just don't get caught.

I think it's a great idea. But you'd probably have to save up some money to lease some land.

I guess not......considering a man in Seattle who has lived in a treehouse for the last two years is being evicted from his treehouse. He didnt bother anyone...was an asset to that community...but we arent free. Im so saddened. Thoreau! What a man!!!!
4 :
There are such places, but not many in the lower 48. One of the necessities is water. You can find plenty of open land owned by BLM out in the desert of Nevada but any place even close to water is going to be privately owned. You could make arrangements with a larger ranch to stay free for a year, in exchange for some duty like looking or stray cows.

What do you think of the United States capitalistic system?

What do you think of the United States capitalistic system?
Personally, I think it's bullshit. Made for the rich to get richer, and the poor to get screwed. I think the fact that the richest 1% make more than the lowest 95% combined is the most ridiculous thing imaginable. Corporations are beginning to turn into our government and the making everything private is making it so that the middle-class are turning into the poor and no one else has near the same rights as everyone who can afford it. The corporate greed in this nation is taking over our ethical values and what we know is right. Capitalism is far more deadly than any murderer or convict. It leads people to an addiction to money, far worse than any drug (which I happen to think aren't bad in the first place... but that's another story). Capitalism has lead to the destruction of America and all that it represented, in my opinion. Reagan lead this country into a whole that we cannot get out of and killed everything America was and everything the forefathers and ex-presidents gave us.

ummmm, we are not really a capitalistic country anymore. the government is in charge now and caters to the lobbyist who have the most cash.. no matter what a small business owner in the US does (or even a home owner) the government interferes in many ways.
2 :
it is very unethical and brings out the worst in us. i dont think there are any poor people in the u.s. the real victims are outside the u.s.
3 :
We don't really have a capitalist system. In a capitalist economy, everyone has equal access to the market and our government has allowed that to be blocked by the megacorporations.
4 :
Thanks for the propaganda, but America's Founders intended for us to be free. What you want is for the government to control who gets what and that is the opposite of freedom. I live in a mobile home but it's because I've earned it, and I'm proud of it. If I'd gone to college I'd probably have something better, but I didn't because I didn't want to. I'd die before I'd submit to a totalitarian marxist governemnt that has the power to make all my decisions for me. I'll keep what I earn and I'll let others do the same

When you start to particiapate in it then your opinion would matter but since you have a psydo education on economics I am sure you think the govt is benevolent and actually cares about you as an individual but that belief will come crashing down when you are denied the drugs that could stop the spread of cancer in your left breast then you will have denial then you will die. Commies like you give marxist a bad name and as for the Capitalistic System Of America it was killed off two years ago officially.
6 :
I agree with you Capitalism does ruin peoples integrity and moral values of people, and capitalism does cater to the greedy and rich. But we have to look at the bigger picture it is very difficult to create a political policy that does not cater to the rich. The only system that does not cater to this is Karl Marx system but even that does not work. As philosophers say it is in peoples nature to be greedy which ever system you choose there will always be a group of rich people.
7 :
Did you look at the other side of the argument before you vehemently backed Marxism? You obviously need to look at your history textbooks, or you would now that history has shown that capitalism has been more efficient, produced more prosperity, and given a higher standard of living to more people than communism ever has.

I need legal counsel or an accountant who knows the laws of the state bank and the united states?

I need legal counsel or an accountant who knows the laws of the state bank and the united states?
Greeting I'd like guidance on something, it happens that my friend was looking for work in the USA found an Internet about being the personal assistant to a person who was outside the country, the man said in his work that would send a number money for him to make a purchase and send it to the country where he was because in America it was cheaper and I was going to make a payment for each order that you did, also informed him that the check would arrive to send him, it happens that the man told my friend that was going to send a check in which my friend had to collect their pay and send the rest, when my friend get this check, he had come to name him, but he sent someone who was not the man who hired him, he spoke with U.S. police on this man who hired him for the job taught him the checks but did not say it was another person who sent it and they said that it was confident of this legal thing my friend went to cash the check with a personal speech for a nurse bank and they say that all is well that one day the check would be transferred in cash to your account bank, spend a day and my friend check your account and check the money is in it, seeing it comes to withdrawing money from their account to withdraw their pay they were $ 400 and transfer the remaining money that was left of the check, as 3 days later my friend is going to withdraw money he had saved and going to an ATM to withdraw your money and says he can not see that the bank calls and tells them what happened informs you that your account has been closed because check that the tank had no back, I had to pay the amount the check cashing in 110 days had to pay, also said they can not have more account to any other bank in USA, and this will lower your credit. Now my questions are: 1. because the bank is charging you money on when they should collect it from the person who wrote the check? 2. because the bank before depositing the cash will not be checking on that day gave him the check had no background? 3. it was the duty of the bank before giving money to check why did not they? 4. It is the fault of the bank that this happening? when I ask this question I mean that they ought to review before making a deposit? 5. to be my friend to do? already sent a message to that contract, talk to the police and told them to look for information from the gentleman in the bank where the check came, and unless the Lord appeared in 15 days I had to make a statement and were going to find. 6. In these cases, so does a bank, where the person retirement check is not at fault and was the victim of a hoax, and if this person is not listed? 7. there is not any way that this will not affect your credit?
