"Any fool can criticize, condemn, and complain but it takes character and self control to be understanding and forgiving." - Dale Carnegie

Funny that this quote works both for the anime as well as this thread. 4laugh

YOU! *points to Gin Petenshi or what ever her name is* *trys to act smart for my age put its not really working* I will try to be calm for this one.....Ok it aint working.....I WAS JUST ASKING REALLY FOR YOUR OPINIONS! NOW I FEEL LECTURED AND YELLED AT AND CRAP LIKE THAT....*calms down* ok....I'm done...does any one have anything to build on that?

Kuma: I can assure you that I was in no way yelling. Lecturing possibly. But giving a supported opinion does that. As for my quote, I simply found that it helped support my opinion that it takes real character to be understanding and forgiving (like Kagome). As well as my opinion that you are being very quick to critisize Kagome for such trivial (and untrue) reasons. No offense, but I do find it very foolish.
I am not a Kikyou hater myself - she is a very important and well rounded character. But I do find her to be very selfish when it comes to love - though I do not HATE her for it. I just find that you make all this noise about hating Kagome and how she's a "slut" but give no real support to your opinions. How is it you find her to be a whore? You really are just tossing words in the air. Annoying, I can understand. Some people are annoyed by certain qualities. But a slut? That simply baffles me.

gody12: I'm not taking this seriously at all. I find it amusing really - this thread really is a debate thread. All I'm doing is giving supported opinions/facts. And, I'm a girl sweet heart. 4laugh

I have to disagree entirely. You can't force some one to love you - and if you could, Kagome certainly isn't going that way about it. If she was she wouldn't allow Kikyou's presense near Inuyasha. Instead she sympathizes with both her and Inuyasha. There is no force there.

As for the uniform, I can only say that I don't know what's up with it either. It is quite inconveniant. But I suppose that it is just something that she feel comfortable in - she does wear it nearly everday at home as well. Or perhaps it has to do with her not wanting to look like Kikyou any more than she has to - that certainly is a possibility. Either way - wearing a short, impractical skirt doesn't make you a slut. Nor does it justify a death wish towards her.

OR she doesnt have time to change. I mean...Inuyasha is always telling her to go at the last minute....*hugs you anyways* Well put. *nod nod*

Yes, well, you think she's probably a slut as well. If I remember correctly, her school peers have skirts just as short.

gody: sweatdrop You obviously know nothing about social phycology. Social norms change - skirts that short are apparently the norm and therefore not considered indecent. And really, they arn't all that bad. I've seen girls wear much more revealing attire.

And it seems you still havn't learned the definition of 'slut'.

Slut:
1. a dirty, slovenly woman.
2. an immoral or dissolute woman; prostitute.


Slovenly:
1. untidy or unclean in appearence or habits


I know the definition well enough to know that a skirt a little on the short side doesn't make you slut.
