As for identity, I think who we are is closely tied to the matter we are made of, or at least the matter that out brain is made of. If you were to die and a copy of your brain were exactly replicated, down to the last molecule (including neural connections and the memories and aspects of personality...

I would think that being a woman would most certainly be worse when you are being acousted by thugs. They would see you as being an easy target, someone not worthy of their fear and theirfore respect, they may even rape you. A tall, powerful looking man is much less likely to be mugged, and more lik...

I probably should have mentioned it initially, but my interpretation is based on the mangas (only the original incarnation will do for me). It was also a major gaff on my part to leave out that Ghost in the Shell is about the qualification of life, or more precisely when is something considered to b...

By the way, was the new Appleseed film good? I did not get around to seeing it yet. I read something weird about it starting out with Deunan waking up to discover that her human partner Bri is now a cyborg (instead of one all along from the moment you meet them, like in the manga)!!

Best Buy is only good if you are looking for fairly common fair, otherwise I would suggest Suncoast. But, since most of Miyazaki's movies are fairly well know, you should probably be able to find them at Best Buy. The Suncoast at the mall nearest to me went out of business, I'm so distraught.

The meaning of Ghost in the Shell
From a philosopical point of view what do you think that Ghost in the Shell is about? What is its primary theme? I think that GITS is about life and what it entails, being born, changing in order to survive, reproducing, and dieing. It is about birth in that it is about the birth of the combined Mot...
