If you checked the dates you would see that I stopped arguing. Why bother when you are rightright.

I am the Queen of Snark, TStopped said so. And I have groupies, Atomic Girl said so.

If You are grown then why are You arguing on the internet with "childish" people? This makes You look like more of an immature moron to them.

I think you might find her grave a trifle uncomfortable and when she was alive, she would have been just too much woman for you. Also my father would have kicked you into the next street for trying.
I have to let you into another secret, I'm a grown woman and childish tantrums and insults don't work on me and simply reveal how very young you are.

I am the Queen of Snark, TStopped said so.

Oh dear. I have to let you into a little secret, there is a big world outside of the door to the basement.
The same basement i sleep with your mother.

And an awful lot of people just see what they want to see.

Oh dear. I have to let you into a little secret, there is a big world outside of the door to the basement. That world has more countries in it than Japan. Now I know that you don't want to face it, but it's true. Now I come from one of those other countries, it's called Scotland and your little tantrum is not very impressive.

I am the Queen of Snark, TStopped said so.

You are an US-centric moron. BR was a HUGE success in its country of origin (aka JAPAN) and is a cult for otakus in all the world. All of it (manga, book, film).

No she didn't. Your just bummed because her book is a HUGE success and BR is a flat failure. Yes I know, there is a group of about 3 BR fans in your home town and you all love it. Like I said a flat failure that ripped off an old movie called 'Wedlock'.
Never say Never.

The BR people would have a lot more credibility if they would limit their accusation to "Collins stole the central idea of Battle Royale". When they post things like "Hunger Games imitated BR from the from the first frame to the last", they just look stupid, because the beginning and end of Hunger Games focus on the character of President Snow, who has no counterpart in BR; furthermore the first third of Hunger Games has to do with the wierd cult of celebrity surroundings the tributes, which also does not occur in BR. Plus there is no sense in posting the sentence "Hunger Games is a ripoff of BR" over and over and over; it just looks like a couple of hackers spamming the site.

The idea/premise has been around since Ancient Rome, that's a bit longer than 17 years. It's more like 2000+ years. Plenty of tiime for Japanese authors/film makers to rip it off.

This^
I really don't know how much Battle Royale influenced hunger games but like Bollywood_Bonertime said the idea has been around since 2000.
The premise is cool, and I would love to see what can be done with it, but I personally just don't like the books or the movies, I tried reading them but couldn't get into it. The narrative was too simple and the characters got on my nerves. The books are intended for a dumbed down, slightly illiterate audience though so that's probably a large part of it.

That's because she never heard of it, just like everybody else including the population of Japan.
Ah Dippy, your dream world must be so boring, You have been living in it for so long now. And it must be so lonely all by yourself.

I am the Queen of Snark, "I Shine, Not Burn".

She has publicly stated the she never read/saw either the film/book of BR and I have no reason to accuse her of lying.
False. To date, Collons has made no mention of Battle Royale 2: Requiem whatsoever

Actually people can say whatever they like about eachother, weather it be true or false.

Why would she admit to something she never did just to please you? She has publicly stated the she never read/saw either the film/book of BR and I have no reason to accuse her of lying. And if you don't have evidence that she did then you cannot call her a liar.
Never say Never.
