Everyone should have a hobby. Hating Shampoo is a good hobby.

Hmmm, maybe I can transfer some of my Akane hating to her....

Good idea!

	I don't really see how hating Shampoo can be a hobby.  I just ignore her 
completely.  Of course, debating with a Shampoo-fan, that's another story.

I know that will never ever happen just as no-one will ever, ever get me to
like Shampoo.

	Well, time can change anything.

You should read some of the manga near the end, then. She and Ranma get nice
and sweet in some of them... especially that dougi episode, but Ranma was
being a jerk in that one to her, untill the last moment. And the ending was
very sweet. I just love all the ones where they almost kiss.

	So I'm that the only one that thinks the kawaii Akane scene is the best! 
I like the ending of that story, but the part where Akane looks really kawaii is 
still my favorite (currently my wallpaper).  Now if only my Chinese version of 
volume 33-38 would arrive sometime within a year, I'll be very happy.

Hmm, maybe she knows what ranma smells like?...

I wonder how... Maybe she and he sneak around at night, making love or 
something. Or maybe Ranma just gets off by being bashed up by Akane, and
she gets off by bashing him up, and they do that all night in private.

	WHAT!  I really don't think the first answer is even a remote 
possiblity, and the second answer it not really much more valid.  Shouldn't 
there be some obvious explanation, like Ranma's pigtail or the fact that Akane 
has known him since forever and her love lets her see through Ranma's disguises 
easily or that simply Ranma's disguises are not so good?

Well, if you stop hating Akane and just 'don't like' her to yourself, that
would make me happy. ^_~

	You can't change the world!  It has been historically proven that it 
isn't possible!  There will always be some people out there that are beyond 
reason and that they actually hate Akane and like Shampoo!
