		<description>Uwaa~ I thought it was supposed to be anonymous! How mean~!

@ Question B - They&#039;re 2-D, fictitious characters... so the ass-hole factor is kind of neither here nor there. That&#039;s the only way I can explain it. Maybe they&#039;re easy to slash? I don&#039;t know, I don&#039;t watch Gintama. 

Anyway, I have to go flirt with a PFC now so I can get over my SECRET BLOGGER CRUSH/get my ass (and other body parts) &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Article_15&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Article 15&#039;d&lt;/a&gt;.</description>

		<description>Dang! I should have picked better questions...I didnt expect my mail to make it through the hundreds of mails send daily to you...Okay errrmm...To be honest I chose the Gintama Question cause I had to include an Anime Question.
In fact I do love Gintama and its characters and probably the term Assholes was a bit strong (well except for Okita)

The Gintama maincast may be good and honest men when the plot needs them to be but that doesnt change the fact that they are rather irresponsible slackers most of the time and treat alot people like shit (well except for Hijikata,he just has a Mayo Problem).I do know that this attitude is for the comedic effect of the series and the humor that derivates from their antics is what I love about the series but still I cant see whats attractive about them?Sure they rise and shine from time to time in the Shounen Arcs but thats imho once again for the comedic effect.

But lets take a look at the list:
Okita(the sadist) at #5
Hijikata(the good guy with the mayo problem) at #10

Out of the whole cast Id say that Hiikata is the pretty boy so it cant be the looks the girls chose.The fact that Gintoki whos considered to be ugly is at #2 proves this thesis.So did they go for character?
Why the hell does the most honest guy (Hijikata) once again end up last then?
Girls like Slackers (Gintoki) or Sadistic Assholes (Okita) more?

Okay...Thats my answer for a question I pulled out of my you know what when I wrote that mail.
Its late over here and I need to head to bed.Ill be glad to answer more stuff tomorrow.

And once again :Gintama is good stuff but theres no husband material among the cast imo</description>

		<description>@thekungfukid: In conclusion, the surveyed girls are shallow for liking Gintama characters and the surveyed guys are shallow for liking Mio.

@Zantetsu: Back in college I toyed with the notion of having female friends. They were all girls my roommates were attracted to but too scared to ask out. As such, I had no choice but to tolerate them. There&#039;s always something nice about hanging around people who like you, but aside from that, they were boring as shit (then again, that&#039;s how I feel about most males). Here&#039;s how the friendships ended. Girl #1: I forgot her birthday. Girl #2: I pushed her off my bed (top bunk) after she tried climbing on it for some reason. She hurt her knee.

@Omisyth: It&#039;s anonymous in terms of leaving out real names. An oline names will be used if they appear in the body of the email, unless of course I&#039;m requested not to use it. The first email didn&#039;t put his online name in the body of the email, so it remains anonymous.

@Rakuen: DAMNIT! For some reason I had a really hard time thinking of a likeable parent with an unlikeable child. Now it occurs to me that Watanuki feels that way about Doumeki &amp; Doumeki&#039;s grandfather.

@Sapphire Pyro: True, death would be too easy an escape from the punishment a truly hated character deserves.</description>

		<description>@ Question B
Loving dudes with mental disorders don&#039;t make women sluts!!! Oh that bashing on Gintama characters . . Pfft! You&#039;re just jealous! Mwahahaha!

@ Ass-hat Life Question:
If you still can&#039;t find the courage to say it already when the opportunity comes for a very very long time and go emo/angsty about it for not being able to do so like what you&#039;re saying in that mail. GIVE UP.

@ Non-ass-hat- Life Question:
Pretend that your ex-friend is invisible. If that person doesn&#039;t let you see his/her parents, prepare a deadly weapon and threaten him/her if he/she doesn&#039;t let you inside the house. If he/she doesn&#039;t want to die, then he&#039;ll/she&#039;ll let you in the house and meet the parents you like with no problems. He&#039;ll/she&#039;ll hide himself/herself for you =)

@ Anime Question:
It&#039;s most fun to fight with the character you are certain you are going to win. It sucks to lose in a battle.
Baka-raptor has a nice suggestion (beating those you hate). But when it comes to characters you hate, it&#039;s more enjoyable to torture/abuse them, not just fight/defeat/beat them.</description>

		<description>@2nd sender on Question A:

You could pretend that your ex-friend isn&#039;t there-- like how Doumeki does it, then have some great time with the parents. Then, if ex-friend starts to get to your nerves, ask ex-friend to cook you a roast leg of lamb and not listen to any bullshit bawling.

Or ask the parents to kick their kid out. Maybe your ex-friend&#039;s already bugging his/her parents, and they&#039;re already fucking fed off with it.</description>

		<description>@Question A:

Women are weird creatures. Either straight, lesbian, bitches or even those that pretend that don&#039;t like sex, they&#039;re all particularly sensitive when it comes to critique from a man. It&#039;s completely alien for them to receive comments from a guy in something they&#039;re interested in and it never comes without consequence when you screw up with what you say.

Having actual female friends is harder than watching a boring-as-shit slice of life anime as you bite your tongue attempting to leave for greener pastures and the deceased hentai that has yet to be born due to lunatic Japanese cults.</description>
