Quote:So you're saying that Geno (and the rest of you) aren't uninformed in this case? So you have seen a good number of Samurai movies? Because if that's the case then I have no problem with your opinions. It's when you're ignorant about something that I have a problem.
You can't expect everyone to do everything you have (no one should)... and when you think about it isn't it obvious why Ninjas are more popular in America than Samurai? Sure, there's a lot of ignorance shaping it. But the concept of 'Ninja' an American would think of isn't realistic anyway, so who cares?
Think of it like how you and GR talked about Bo Jackson. Not based on any facts or real-world data, just fun and 'that could be cool'. And really, is there somoething so wrong with that? Sure, it's not quite the same issue you're talking about, but it's more pertinent to the actual discussion.
Oh. a question... if to understand Samurai you think people should watch Samurai movies, what should they be watching to really understand NInjas?
