in the shell

I wasn't sure if I should put this in here or in the Philosophy section but I was wondering what this quote meant:

"let a man walk alone, let him commit no sin, with few wishes,
like an elephant in the forest"

Thoughts?

She had volumes my friend, volumes. And yet it was all still believable. Like the line about how she didn't want to dissapoint anyone by saying she didn't really want to do it. It was great that the movie was left open as well.

I don't think it was that bad. I lost my virginity when I was 13. The age wasn't as bad, but 13 year olds are exactly that innocent. And boy would I have loved to have done it with someone who looked like Motoko.

I just watched this DVD called Memories that has 3 episodes of short stories. The Episodes are called Magnetic Rose, Stink Bomb, and Cannon Fodder. It's presented by Katsuhiro Otomo, who is the director of Akira. I'm not sure it's a classic, but I enjoyed it very much. I also just watched Perfect Bl...

Actually, the reflection in the gynoid was the gynoid itself. It was meant to show that the gynoids had a soul. Y'know the saying, "The window to a person's soul is through their eyes." More than anything else it was foreshadowing.

AlphonseVanWorden, I'm glad you responded and did in the way you did. Showed I probably should have come a little more detailed. How does power- and relationships involving domination must involve power- work in the present capitalist system To take capitalism to the most basic sense, it's the idea ...

(The existentialists believed that there was no "meaning of life", in other words that it had no point)), You're thinking of Nihilism. Existentailism is the idea that man/woman can only be judged my his or her actions. So to existentialists it's not that there is no meaning to life, but t...

I read this in a Stephen King short story. But in the story this guy went around recording interesting/funny etc.. things that he'd see on bathroom stalls. And one of the things he wrote down was "My mother made me a whore." And under that someone else put, "If I supply the yarn, will...

From what I got from the movie, it went the opposite way which is why they can be related. Change and evolving was a big theme in the first movie. And in the end it was all brought together when the Major and the Puppetmaster merge together, performing some type of new intercourse I guess you can ca...

lol. The post was partly for Sylphi haing read it's not Sylphi's cup of tea. I thought I'd add sime balance into the mix. But to add to my list: Samurai Champloo and Cowboy Beepop are too ill. Hiphop, Jazz, Anime. What more could you ask for?

I gotta say.. I LOVE Ninja Scroll. And yes, at first I was only intrigued at first by the whole Ninja part of it. And it's not even that sexually explicit to me. I was even surprised to hear someone offended by it. But that's just in comparison to hentai that I've seen which can be REALLY bad. But a...

The names RealFact#9, as in Cipher. Those who know, know. I'm a newb to the whole GitS universe but heard a lot about it from being close to the cirlces (I've always loved cartoons/anime/manga/comics etc.. of any kind). So I decided to get the SE about a week ago and I liked it a lot. Because I like...
