Sort of similar to Joi's Emergence Democracy wiki! ^_^ It's too bad there's not more cultural diversity here in the South. My girlfriend and I love the Japanese culture (I happen to be chinese, and she's caucasian). It's difficult to make people understand how much the Japanese culture (through anime, manga and the like) has changed the
way kids view things. Pop culture rocks. ^o^
