What you are seeing is just another steep of evolution, a tragic one maybe, and even thought evolution might bring many tragedies, it has also lead to our existence. I consider that to be quite an accomplishment.

I’m sorry for the late reply; I have been gone a lot lately and been very busy. That is if anyone reads it. :) Hmm, I don’t see why someone would not want to read it, the fact that it is well written alone make it of better quality that most of the information that can be found on the net. I would b...

Why are there spam bots with 25+ posts that are not banned yet? I’m in no way questioning the dedication of the moderators to tackle this problem; I just think that the measures taken are not sufficient and not sustainable. I think most here are in consensus with me here when I say that some measure...

I agree that simple music can be good as well, but much depends on the intended propose of the music, I generally consider music that fulfills its purpose good. I think that what kind of listener you are determines a lot about what kind of music you are likely to enjoy. For casual listening lighter ...

What is "progressive metal"? What is progressive about it? No, it's a serious question... What’s progressive about it? Well, as a friend of mine nicely put it progressive metal is a wastebasket for metal that is not “sufficient” to create its own genre, but still does not really belong in...

That was unexpected, I almost expected to be flamed (this is after all an anime forum) or perhaps someone telling me “you don’t get it” or something.

This makes no sense to me. It seems you are saying that you somehow believe but not believe something at the same time. And it makes it so that I at least cannot make heads or tails of what position you represent or want to argue for, or what your real opinion is on anything. And it makes my previo...

I guess I have some explaining to do. First of all I apologize to anyone feeling offended by anything I have written, to offend is rarely my intension and if it is, it will be pretty obvious. I don’t apologize because I think that I have done anything wrong, but rather because I am a nice person. He...

The American approach on death sentence is inefficient in the sense that its more expensive to have a death sentence than letting someone stay for life in prison if I recall correctly. It could be done with the approach that it is cheaper to have death sentences that to deal with the criminals, and ...

Well as I see it, the world in the manga is not really materialist (the impression I get from the puppetmaster dialogue near the end) so I think the body and spirit are more of separate things. Now in the movie and in the series it’s a bit harder to tell, but I think they still have some influence f...

And all the nonsense about the war on terror and liberty and democracy.
Seems like the terrorist have already won, they attack as a reaction to the western way of life, and they are already on their way to ruin it.
Who said that terrorism was a bad approach?

Seeing that you post is feeling lonely, and if no one minds some grave digging (more than a month). I watched someone play through the second game and I must say I was slightly disappointed. I had heard a lot of good things about that game, and I think it started great but did not become as intense ...

Purpose

I just finished watching an anime series (Madlax). I don’t know if it was from supreme boredom or if I somehow subconsciously desire to know how retarded fiction really can be, that I watched the end. I thing I know however is that this series has it all, cliché shallow characters that seem to act a...
