My STAR WARS Thesis; I need help!

I share Lucas sentiment in that Campbell was far more powerful as a speaker than a writer. I can't stand his books; I sold my copy of Hero a few years ago--it had Luke Skywalker on the cover actually.

 For the few I know his writtings, I'm not that surprised. I found much better food between some great book on Scandinavia ancient Runes and a few other mythologic / symbolic subjects I've been interested in... Not mentioning the great Lord of the Rings wich looks like the closest blueprint of Star Wars I know.

Sorry for the "ignorant" enthusiasm in my first post above. :/ :P

About Campbell, as far as I know, Lucas using his stuff when writing the first SW is a bit of a myth, actually I think Lucas hasn't actually read Campbell's works until after the 1st SW came out.

 Ah, maybe. I've been told once by an old friend of mine who's a fan of Campbell that Lucas didn't especialy read him but rather met him asking for help. But this is to be verified indeed.

I don't know about this above case, but how the hell industry wouldn't be able to figure out long term effects or diseases due to new techniques or the technologies they use (or spread), notably when they hire specialised scientists to study the whole thing ? Like in the tobacco industry...

... Still, these industrials pretend they have proven their products to be innoffensive. The effort for building those evidence, against all common sense, is astounding.

 

 

As much efforts are spent to hijack and chut down free energies, or in the "best" case arguing about disadvantages (costs, adaptation).

The 21st century will change, or won't be.

this can also said of bingo, but to a lesser extent than abc

 I totally admit I may have gone too far pointing at something that I should have left alone concerning Warb's behaviour in the past (though the whole discussion here points it again, and not especially in my posts).

You can't help someone who doesn't WANT it, and that's how something that could be helpful turns as a big mistake poisoning the situation. Maybe Warb shouldn't have asked others's opinions in many instances though.

So, I'm not plaiding "innocent", still many innocents posts of mine that weren't even adressed to him turned in real catastrophic situations as he used to interpret for himself the worst of anything I would say, hijacking any word out of the context (the multi quote adding to the effect). You know how to lead Rotweillers attack, really guys. ;-)

 

PS: Leonardo, stop lurking !

I used to rather like you and cared to take time to read your drivel and try to understand it. Every now and then, I still take the time. I speak multiple languages, and I think that goes a long ways in finding understanding through the language barrier (especially when it comes to syntax). It really isn't worth the effort because so many of your posts are just judgmental BS touting your impressive level of enlightenment over the rest of us.* Darth Ender summed you up perfectly. You really do pick Warbler to shreds, then you claim to be perfectly innocent, any fault to be found belonging strictly to Warb.

 

1) So, I was ok when you used to like me, and now you don't anymore. No big deal but it is unfortunately what drives your judgement toward my case.

I for one put my personal preferences aside, and you sure woudn't understand if I said I don't prefer Bingo over C3PS !... I just don't care the difference ! I like being on the forum from time to time and that's all.

2) I suspect Darth Ender misinterpreted one post in the previous page and I clarified it right away. You see attacks where there aren't any, and I don't claim anything.

Just read that carefuly please:

You are in your right to think whatever you want about me or any one else anyway. As for starting a crusade about who's right or wrong accusing me of telling bullshit, judging people and being condescending: it's all yours !

You could be ten or twenty against me, so what ?

Sorry if I go on posting thoughts, ideas or reactions a way you dislike.

While I'm all with you Bingo, reading you and reminding the mentioned thread (I don't even need to read it again), I think the discussion has reached the same usual point and the rest will be a loss of time.

Best case: Warb unignore you... until next time when he'll decide to take some ununderstood humor as an offense, or something of that kind.

When he'll understand he's no right to JUDGE any of his fellows mostly when he's based on his own temper and sensibility, there will be hope and all his relationship will evolute.

Enough said... We make too much interferences trying to clarify (while some think they offer better help with commiseration) and he's too exercised using all of it for reinforcing his own prison. He has unfortunately always refused a hand when it didn't comfort him in his usual same reality.
