Most people that say the dubs suck are dead-set on hating it before the even watch it because they prefer to experience it as it should be. They just prefer to hear the Japanese dialogue and have the correct titles (kun, chan, sama, sempai, etc) in the characters names. They also don't like the modifications or American culture or the cuts made and occasional english names given to the characters. Dub haters just don't like these minor changes cause they're so nit-picky about it. That doesn't make the dubs bad or stupid. However, there are some animes that do have very bad dubbing, I'll give you that? Ever see the dub of Angel Sanctuary, now THAT was bad dubbing. Some dubbings are even better than the Japanese, like DBZ.
Me personally, I tend to prefer the dubbed versions because, even though certain things here and there are changed, I don't like having to read the subtitles, it breaks the atmosphere (I guess you would say), and makes me very aware that I'm watching something rather than experiencing it. Ah, I don't think I worded that right, but you get what I mean. Having to read the subs are a distraction that I don't want.
