Here are things that the ass Soccer Moms of America don't want their kids to see on DBZ:

- "Kami" is literally the Japanese word for "God". So for the purpose of Dragonball, God isn't an all-seeing creator, God is a mortal person who was apointed to watch over things.

- Kaiosama (King Ki) is a God ranking above Kami. So not only is there someone higher up than the God everyone on earth prays to, but he is outranked by an overweight blue dude with a bad sense of humor.

- Dai Kaioshin (Grand Ki) is a God that ranks above Kaiosama. So the overweight unfunny God is outranked by a scrawney biker.

- Kaioshin (Supreme Ki) is the top God in all the universe. Yes that's right moms of the western world...the be-all and end-all of Gods is a lil purple kid with a mohawk.

- The entire concept of Majin Buu's history is that he blew up several planets, and killed Gods with lil effort at all. That's right, a pink blob of goo was able to take out four of the most powerful Gods in existance without trying.

- Goku, Vegeta, and Gohan all surpassed Kaioshin's power. That's right, mere mortals completly dwarf the most powerful God in all of creation.

...there are more I'll add later on...take that conservitive moms of America :p
 
Simple, by taking the time to look. I don't know how the admins here feel about plugs, but the MB at http://www.planetnamek.com/ is an excelent place to go for info on the un-altered origional version of all things Dragonball. The site itself has some wrong information, so plese don't go by that. For the real facts, browse the MB. There is a wealth of members there who know their stuff.

...it's currently down, waiting to get a new server, but should be back up soon.
 
Cool. I'm a member there, but havent been for a while. I think I posted one day and never went back cos I'm always here! ;)
 
Cool. What's your name there?

...and I just checked...after 2 weeks, the MB is finally back up.
 
it could be chibi_goku, or videlsatan...i belog ot 2 MBs, and can never remember which name goes with which :rolleyes:

Sin :rain:
 
can i jus add a bit
ru du kiaoshin
the over all god and creater of the 4 kaioshins. so the scrawny lil kid is out ranked by an old pervert who has a sexual attraction to bulma!
 
Eh, what about HFIL? And Mr. Satan?

Home For Infinite Losers? Please! It is HELL, H-E-L-L, hell. Cell, Frieza, and the Ginyu Force would be more suited in HELL than HFIL (well, except for the Ginyu Force, they are a little flaky). But we can't have kids learning the concept of infinite pain and torment on televison. Nope, have to have some bible thumper explain it to them in Sunday school.

Mr. Satan... Satan City. What do they call it in the US? Surely not Hercule City? Sorry, but if we have to edit a person's NAME because it 'imposes Christianity' on everyone, we are truely going too far. If you are SO concerned about this kind of stuff on television, DON'T WATCH IT! All these people must watch is 'Davey and Goliath' and 'Touched by an Angel.'

I'm suprised feminists haven't protested the show stating that it casts females in a negative light (pushy, ditzy, mean, witches, and ugly) and males get all the glory. Obviously people today can't accept that is is only a cartoon (anime actually, but let's not argue semantics).
 
wellll........in the dubbed version of DBZ,they wont say anything romotely bad.I mean goku continues to say oh goSH instead of oh god..but thats mostly b/c its suposed to be aimed at younger kids.Its really Just stupid that they wont say stuff like that.And all the stuff about Kami and kaoshin thats stupid that ppl wouldn't want there Kids to watch it b/c of that.I mean the whole thing is just outta someones imagination and as long as kids know that *Not to mention most little kids dont know Japanese to know that Kami means God* It shouldn't make a difference.
 
Japanese children are far less sheltered than American children. They can handle mature things far sooner than kids in the US can. Why? Because US parents are tight asses.

When Namek blows up, the dub has Goku yell "Oh NO!!!". His line is "Oh ****!"
 
i know its really stupid if u ask me....Especially since most kids do know about stuff and curse and shi* at like the age of 5 here. Its just parents r stupid here.They think as long as they dont teach us... no one else will...
 
Yup...then guess who gets blamed when their "perfect lil kids" do learn this kind of stuff? TV, movies, music, videogames, excetera.

Parents try to baby their kids, regardless of the kids' age. Everything violent and sexual is "bad", and everything animated is for kids.

...it makes me sick.
 
i know!Its absoulutly horridable!~!~!Like if i was a tight assed parent id be more concerned with the violence in DBZ instead of The fact that Kami is someones name on that and kami means god.I mean......How many lil' kids would know that??geez. Fer being tight assed parents they aint to bright.But ur right everything that happens in the real world is too harsh to be handled by these ppl.Its like they're all sheltered till they're 18 or outta the house then its like BAM!Reality hits.Anyways its stupid theres just no other word for it
 
I fully believe that the only reason Kami's name was not altered for the dub is that the average american doesn't know enough Japanese to know what the word "Kami" means.

...and if parents were so damn concerned with what their kids pick up, they could try to actually take an active roll in their kids' lives. But do they? No. They go off doing their own thing, and expect TV networks to pamper and raise their kids for them.

Parents suck.
 
Ummm.....parent here!! Can we put some qualifiers in these posts? LOL...as in, some parents suck, or some parents are tight-assed??

My kid watches DBZ, Batman, whatever, and I don't think she'll end up warped because of it. Some people just want to blame everything but themselves.

It's stupid to blame a cartoon for a kid's actions. Whether it's Bugs Bunny dropping anvils on people's heads or Goku beating the tar out of someone, it's obviously a cartoon. She knows that, and knows it's not real.

I do draw a line with live action tv and movies though. Obviously, she shouldn't be exposed to The Sopranos at a young age.

Common sense must prevail, but unfortunately a great percentage of people either don't have any, or don't use it.
 
Yeah SOME parents sux but bummer here ain't.
She's a crunk friend and a parent to her lil' daughter!!
