Technically, the youngest sibling of the Abrahamic faiths, by definition, has great difficulty abiding the existence of its elder siblings (Judaism, Christianity) because "they're wrong and because they don't see the One True Way, we don't like them". Christians mistreat Jews because "they killed Christ and they won't admit he was the Messiah". The *real* reasons for conflict (resources, economics, water supplies, etc) may be drivers that the leaders think about but what gets the "people in the street" outraged (via manipulation by their leaders) are the fundamental differences in which doctrine of the "desert sky god" you opt for.
If you ask why... "man in the street" will go on about "who killed who" but few of them have a deeply analytical grasp of *why* they hate the 'other'.

I don't really warez anything anymore, so it's not a big deal. My actual bandwidth use is pretty heavy these days, but it's all legit.
The only gray area left is my obsession with Touhou remixes, but I doubt the RIAA cares much.

Well, I did stream DBKai 'illegally,' but I DO own every VHS of Dragonball Z from the 90's so it doesn't count as much. |

For American viewers of most "mainstream" shows, in which I include the vast array of shows targeting adolescents, they can satisfy their desires on the streaming sites. My problem is that I enjoy obscure shows aimed at more mature viewers like Hyouge Mono and Shouwa Monogatari which will never get streamed or released on DVD/BD in R1. For those I have to resort to torrents. Unfortunately both these shows appear to have abandoned by their subbers, so I'm pretty much out of luck. I really wish that some of the current fansub groups would turn their attention away from producing redundant subs of shows on the streaming sites and focus on the more obscure shows instead. Doubt that will happen, though.

You said it brother, do we really have to have to have 5 different interpretaions of (insert otaku wet dream show here) every year?
It is true though, thanks to streaming becoming more high quality I don't feel compelled to download crap anymore. My bro has been watching Bleach via hulu for months. |
