Okay guys we need some happiness.

Whenever I feel sad, I just watch FLCL again. The world could die in the violent fire of a nuclear armaggedon and I swear that show would still lift my spirits.

Anyone know a good place to go to watch the rest of these?

You can watch the English dub and sub here [http://www.animefreak.tv/watch/fooly-cooly-english-dubbed-online-free]. If you just want the English version, this site [http://www.animeratio.com/anime/flcl/] has proven pretty reliable in the past for me.

Whenever I am down I always watch this youtube video:



A bit creepy, but I find it hilarious.

I know I'm going to sound like a troll for saying this, so I want to apologize for it right now because I'm not, but I actually felt a little bit of disappointment when I saw that video.

Why can't some people just accept that some things are impossible and deal with it? The only reason that took place is because she was a child. If it had been an adult, nobody would have given a flying fuck.

If some 35-year-old wanted to see his dad before he died, nobody would have given a shit, but OOOOHHHH some little girl wants to see her daddy, awwww, how sad. *rollseyes*

It's not "innocence", it's called "lack of intelligence". What's the point of innocence anyway? I must say that the people who don't have it anymore are the ones who get things done! That's why children slobber all over themselves and eat paste while the adults get things done! Just the way it should be ...

Sorry for the late reply, I've been unable to get online for the last three days approx. Anyway, it evidently wasn't impossible for the little girl to see her dad again since it happened, and it does matter if it's a child since children depend completely on their parents or caregivers unlike adults do. Only the lowest sort of scum want to hurt children and denying a dying child a last chance to be with one of the most important figures in their life is pretty deep on that scale. I wouldn't want anyone to do that to my 7 year old sister, so I won't stand for it happening to any other child.

Innocence itself doesn't need a point, does everything have to have a point? Sometimes things can be beautiful for their own sake.

Don't worry about it, it's cool.

Yes, you do have a point, but here's something to consider: Her dad was in minimum security for drug charges. How long has he been in jail? She was ten years old. If he was in jail for 3 years, that almost half of her life she hasn't seen him. The last time she would have seen him was when she was 7. How close was she to her dad?

That's one thing that was never exactly said. Did she want to see her dad because they were close or because she hadn't really known him? All the video said was that he had a drug conviction. That's pretty vague. It could mean that he was selling drugs, moving drugs or doing drugs. If he was doing drugs, what kind? It could mean cocaine, marijuana, LSD, mescaline, meth, angel dust, Valkyr V (Max Payne reference ;-) ) or anything like that.

My points are this: 1.) The news media has always twisted things around and, while they may have not this time, they may have made something look totally different without telling a lie and 2.) If he was an addict, it is a known fact that addicts either are abusive to their family or are always away from them.

Since I don't know the family in question personally, I have no idea whether the dad was a good or bad father and what he was convicted of. However I wouldn't refuse a little girl's dying wish solely because I didn't know that, even if he was an addict that doesn't mean 100% certainly that he was abusive or absent. It doesn't really matter to me whether he deserves to see her or not as I support it mostly for the child's sake, though I do feel sorry for him too as losing your own child is a terrible experience that very few if anyone really deserves. The media might have twisted some of the story, but I wouldn't risk causing great distress to a child solely out of suspicion for the media.
