Okay, here's what you do for this game: You have to "ban" the person who posted above you for an outrageous, silly, or funny reason. Got it?
banned for that is an untruth
some want that full free market
others want a carefully regulated market
most of us want a market that is regulated to a point but is free in others
Banned for how about a market like what we have.
All major companies in the Caribbean except Communications are partly owned by the goverment. However, it works the other way too. Every service is partly privatly owned even 'public transport,. ie everything is expensive 
Banned for hybrids.
Well, I dont quite agree with that, but I think that since English is our Universal language, people should at least bother to learn some English, so they can communicate with most people properly.
If one doesnt want, or cant afford to learn a foreign language (considering that English is not their native), then thats fine. But there are many people that already speak English, but dont like to, because they feel that it is demeaning to their native language and culture.
Ahem....*French*....ahem 
All in all, if someone doesnt speak English, I will try to communicate with them any way possible. Believing that if you don't speak english you aren't worth speaking to, is really pathetic

Banned because I needed to take out my rage on someone or something, and Draak gave me that opportunity.
Well, you cant really take anime as an example, because they are mostly made for kids, and like I said, a kid doesnt (or even cant if they are really young) want to read much, or even have trouble reading the subtitles.
Dubbing the kid's (animated) movies is done for convenience purposes only.
About the accent, the Greek voice actors dont change their accent, and they usually have funny voices, so they do their job pretty well in kid's movies, imo.
Yes, that is true. Some movies even have the option of subtitles and/or dubbing, but....are you going somewhere with this?
Yes, it was legitimate question. But I wasnt pissed of at that. I was pissed of at this:
And no, dont do that. A fair warning
"Cute Pokemon always get Parahax!"
Meh, who am I kidding? 
I dont care, Draak. Go ahead and tell us a few boy-lover jokes about Greeks 
Tbh, I kinda hate my country. But you knew that already, didnt you? 
Banned for Greek politicians.
"Cute Pokemon always get Parahax!"
Banned for, can you really blame me for that?
"Cute Pokemon always get Parahax!"
Banned for hating your country. The politicians are the real source of hatred and, luckily, they come and go.
And actually, anime is a good example. I don't know about the 'majority' of anime being for kids. Have you seen Gantz, Perfect Blue, Akira, or Vampire Hunter D? These are not children's films. Yet, still dubbed.
All in all, I was just wondering if voice actors make the same effort at fake accents everywhere. I thought about this because Russia is one of the biggest players of Fallout and thought, "It takes place in America. I wonder if they have a Russian language pack, but the voice actors do Russian in American accents." You are just teh most at hand source of similar information.
As for the Greek jokes, they are a cheap shot.
Banned for politicians note eating enough Gyros, when did they become popular by the way?
Banned because that is rather ironic, considering that the purpose of a politician is to try and make himself popular.
The politicians DONT come and go, they can be re-elected again and again and again. In the US, the same president can only be elected once, right? Well, guess what: In Greece, the same party, ergo, the same Prime Minister, can be elected again and again and again.
The party that wins the elections, and takes the role of the government, can pretty much screw everything up, and then act all innocent, and put the blame on the previous government, ergo one of the opposing political parties.
"We didnt do that, it was P.A.S.O.K. that did it. We are just trying to clean that mess." You get the picture.
And I dont blame just the politicians, I blame the whole %^%#%$#ing system, and everyone who supports it.
I dont know about the films you mentioned here, but arent most anime Japanese? Thats why they are being dubbed in English obviously. I dont like watching movies/series in Japanese, and so do many people like me.
But I wasnt talking about anime only. I was talking also about movies like Shrek, Ice Age, Over the Hedge, etc. Kids stuff.
I think you got your answer. Most Greek actors dont do that.
Banned because politicians eat Gyros OF COURSE, as you can see from their body size:
Theodoros Pagalos:
Euaggelos Venizelos (on the right):
And what did you mean by "how did they become popular"? The Pita-Gyro or the politicians?
What made you think that? Politicians were always popular, duh 
"Cute Pokemon always get Parahax!"
Banned for taking "pork spending" literally.
Well, they can serve a maximum of ten years, if they were a vice president that moved up more than half way through the previous president's term.
And in Japan, cartoons are as much for adults as kids. And I know many adults that prefer dubbing, especially with more action oriented films. Hard to read and watch shit fly at the same time.
And back to the politicians, I was mocking the ambiguous structure of the sentence.
Banned for mockery.
Twice. And he only comes up for reelection once every four years.
Banned for taking "pork spending" literally.
Twice is still too much. And banned for taking it metaphorically.
