Welcome to the AnimeFuel Community Forums, I'm the owner of this website Demon fox and lucky for you I'm not here to use my ninja skills on yah, plenty of time for that later I assure you. Instead I'll be telling you a little about this place.

As you should be able to tell by now you are not registered with us as of yet and probably need a good reason to do so. Between you and I we both know you're a lazy bastard and so if you don't even want to listen to the rest of my introduction speech you may as well just go register.

Otherwise here's what you can do on our forums once you've registered. When you register you will be able to chit chat in our forums, entertain yourself with games and share videos with other members. The forums allows you to get access to free downloads shared by members, fast and direct support with video problems from members and staff and make anime requests which are priortized above anyone else's.

There are many more things you can do but our aim is to bring together a community of video fans where you can feel comfortable and make lots of friends around the world. God knows you need them.

So get your butt over to the registration page and join my I mean OUR community. Oh and one more thing watch out for a crazy guy with a gun he's wandering around somewhere in these pages and you'll probably see him if you become really slack with the forum.

This message will self destruct once registration is completed.

Default which will get you farther

I have a very simple question that i will ask. which will get you farther in life? what you know, or who you know? please post your answers and your reasons behind your choice. for me, i think what you know will get you farther because using what you know, you will gain inluence over other people. but what do you think?

Theres no question to this. It's who you know. Look at Bush. Common, he's a freaken dumb loser but yet he's the president of the US. If you happen to be smart it would help you out but its most definitely the people you know.

both are to their own positions. to network you have to have either a lot of money and sway, or a solid brain otherwise people won't deal with you. The less outstanding you are in your field, the less others are going to want to associated themselves.
they both do their part but relying on just one is like rowing one side of a boat, you'll just go round and round in circles never getting anywhere.

uhhh.... I can sense such an intense adoration and respect of yours towards our beloved Mr. President... ahh! shame on the rest of our society they don't show their love as greatly as you! / haha joke ;)
Yeah, but you are completely right on this one ;) And I personally believe it takes both to conquer something in life, especially if you are a typical mr. Smith and not mr. Bush.

Yea but knowing people takes precedence. Being intelligent is a plus and will help greatly but if you don't know the right people you aren't going to be able to go far.

I'd rather choose to get farther on my own, without knowing powerful people, it isn't possible. :/

but is anyone going to accept you if you're not all too bright? bush got his cuz his daddy knows people, not him. everything's been handed to him pretty much. methinks he's not the best of subjects when it comes to this topic.
in many cases I'd see this as a chicken/egg situation.

isn't it the case that the more intelligent you are, the more people you know in your subject area? i would have to agree that it's the people you know that gives you more of a power status though... i've met some INCREDIBLY intelligent folk who can't get very far because of their socio-economic status... it's about money and connections.

I think that what you know is the same thing as who you know cas who you know is apart of what you know so its more inportent on what you know.

It's a fine combination of both... someone maybe just playing dumb in order to get what (s)he wants...
