Until now I've held off posting on this particular thread. Mostly because I've grown up in an area of the country where people are exceedingly devoted to their religions and it looked like the views expressed on this thread were of the same caliber. Everyone rooting for their own beliefs and unwilli...

I don't know I think your giving some adults to much credit. I've known many 18 year olds who would believe there was a flying spaghetti monster if someone told them.

This is a little odd, but the GITS movies and series do feature a lot of action in them just with a lot of intellect throne in. The thing is you have to look at it from a marketing perspective. A point and click adveture wouldn't sell nearly as much as an action adventure game which is probably why ...

Yes I am an odd person, but I do "fit in".


One thing I think you need to consider is what you define as odd. In a wierd way what defines us as odd could make normal.

If I'm hunting for a manga then I'll try to find it in graphic novel format for the simple reason that a graphic novel is a little easier to keep up with, however if I see a single issue manga that I think I'll like I'm not adverse to buying it then. Its all a situational matter.

What the terrorists hate is, as far as I've heard, the glutonness American culture. We are this way because of our technology. All that they hate in our culture can be tied to our advanced technology.

Yes but at its basest levels what they hate in our culture is how advanced we are which is equated with how advanced our technology is. After all a culture in many respects can be well understood by looking at its level of advancement in technology. The fundementalists are just that old literal dogma.

If machines do reach a similar creative peak who's to say they won't do what a good majority of humans do and simply not be creative. I mean think of how many truely good authors have written in the last year. You make it sound as though with all this free time we as humans are creating new amazing ...

Your idea about the conflict between increasing machine based society and old mythos is an interesting one. I agree with you idea about altering religon to suit a society. If you look you'll notice that the conflict between technology and old religion is already underway. At its basest level aren't ...

What would be cool would be if we could get those Laughing Man pics that are on those t-shirts as iron on patches or stickers. Then we could put them on anything and start this "marking" trend.

And then there's Eureka Seven, it's kinda....well... not perfect, but it's okay.
The only issue I have with that series is the one I stated earlier. I'm amazed at the stupidity of the main character. I end up watching the series just to laugh at him.
