People who don't believe in the concept of good and evil have never been on the recieving end of true horror. Do you think the iraqies would deny the existance of evil? The dipute on evil is the handiwork of stuffed up philosiphers who have no true concept of the horrors of the world.


So what's the point, if we'll never live in a world that is worth living in? What's the point, if we'll forever live in a world filled with war and "evil"? Let's all kill ourselves right now, there's no point in continuing this madness called the human race...

By "no evil" I meant that "evil" people have motivations. They are not BORN that way. They don't do what they do so they can laugh while rubbing their hands, there's ALWAYS a motivation for humans acts, Freud himself said that.

I hate Marlyn Manson and his "music", but he's not "evil" nor a pervert, he only poses that way so he can sell albums, it's all publicity. The only truly fucked up artist I've seen that sold albums and made some money from his "music" (and I use the word music with extreme care here) is G.G. Allin.

LOL at that website, Little Richard or Richard Pryor...

These dolls reminds me of when I was around 10 or 11, I used to do some crazy stop motion sequences with my GI Joe toys, complex battle sequences with 6 or 7 action figures at the same time... And the vhs camera could only do about 5 fps, so it looked kinda shaky and weird. I remember one where you could see the shadow behind the toys slowly moving, as it took a whole afternoon for me to do one of those... And now their gone, I have no idea where those tapes are.

I wish I had those Solo/Lando toys, I'd get back to stop-motioning (with computers this time).

Not really, the entire reason that the US dropped the bomb, was because the Japanese were know to be so tenacious. You only have to look at the kamikaze pilots to get an idea of what fighting of Japense soil and man to man would have been like. The casualties that the Japanese inlicted in battle were huge. Taking the war to japan would have been to high a cost in men for both sides. They wouldn't have been a third world country, nor would there have been a country to impose sanctions on, they would have wiped themselves of the map. I mean they still thought that their emperor was God at the time. Think Jihad and then turn it nationalistic and religious. It would have been a massacre. The bombs prevented that. (on a side note, there was no way that Japan would have become communists, for the same reasons as above)


Berlim was bombed and took over by the soviet army at the end of the war. Is Germany on the map? Last time I checked, yes it was. Japan was ready to surrender, as it became clear the war was stalemated, but unfortunaly people give more reason to the "Enola Gay" than to that simple fact. And no, they didn't think their Emperor was God, ever heard of the Meiji Era revolution?

The OT.com Acrhitect (a.k.a. Jay): You have two choices Neo. The door to your left leads to the database wipeout. The door to your right... leads to the database wipeout too, uh, there's not much of a choice sorry... Oh but that little door right over there leads to the starwars.com virtual store, where you can buy the SE DVDs anytime!

Hey I'm just kidding. You will succeed, the OT shall be released.

Darth Chaltab, one of the few conservatives it's worth talking to.

First, it's stupid because it's a childish definition. There is no evil, not even in SW, there's always a motivation, a reason.

Second, I'll never EVER stop believing in peace. I mean, what is your definition of an ideal world? A non-ending war? I'm fighting for the ideal world, the world I want our children to be raised in.

Exactly. The problem with the prequels is that we try to compare it to the OT, and it's useless, because the OT "feels" kinda different. I have this theory, if GL had filmed episodes 1, 2 and 3 during the 70s and 80s, and filmed the sequel (4, 5 and 6) now, we would hate the sequels, as we would be trying to compare it to something we enjoyed.

AWESOME show. Only made 12 episodes, so it's easy to see them all, and they're SO funny!


I always wanted to see Faulty Towers, all I've seen from it is about 45 seconds of footage that is in a documentary on the Life of Brian DVD - which features Cleese impersonating Hitler while doing the silly walk!
