Evil Genius

istvan: "Why do you think that he projects himself" I'm mainly deducing what an intelligent wizard would do, if it were me in this position, and using similarities in the D&D fantasy paradigm with berserks. I might be seriously wrong in my deduction because of this. Changing yourself i...

Hmm.. this all depends on 2 things really, how well is astral projection known, and how much pride does zodd have. If griffith doesn't know how the astral projection works, then what just happened seems logical, as he's testing the defense of the emperor to find any weakness (of course there isn't a...

Ah, thanks guys.. Although I was a bit disappointed by the deus ex machina ending of that twist, but it was to be expected.. just didn't expect that the emperor and gutts would interact, but that's cool. And I love gutts attitude, the enemy of my enemy is still my enemy, 'specially a god-durn apostl...

Lovely chapter, thanks for getting it out so quick :D What a cliffhanger! Can't wait 'til 275 for the resolution. I'm envisioning 3 possible scenarios: 1) mildly possible: the mighty kushan emperor has knocked gatts unconscious, and so close to death that he seems dead, so when something suddenly ne...

Just a quick Q for verification.. BAA - Last order is the story continued from the original battle angel alita right?

I delayed answering just to see if someone had something more to say on the topic this thread is created for, and as no real further input has been posted, I guess we've come to a conclusion. And regarding me not replying comprehensively to questions which have no connection to the topic at hand.. I...

panasonic: what do you mean? My dear fellow, for a complete reply to your vapid question, I must direct you to this thread Just read through my few replies until you get to the last post of the thread. vtwahoo: The two party system <snip> So the point is the same...unless you're ready to start from ...

Vtwahoo: What word would you choose? Hmm, I can't really find a single word which could sum it up like I'd want it to mean, I guess complicit will have to do, you know what I mean by it. (shall I say complicity) No, you shouldn't, complacency is a much better word. At what point does the US step up ...

killfile: So - any act of violence we fail to protest in a sufficiently public manner we are complicit in? Complicit is perhaps too harsh of a word, I think there is a need for a group to accept what has happened and to condemn it in public both to show the members of that group and the world that t...

See - this is what I'm taking about. I don't think it's that you're really a bigoted person; at least your recent posts don't read that way. I think you really just aren't a good enough writer to deal with the subtleties involved here (no offense). Oh, offense taken. See - there's a really big diff...

Killfile: Good to see we agree on the main points. Was it or was it not your intent with this, and other statements made throughout this and other threads to characterize all Muslims as either violent or sympathetic to violence? well yes and no, it was to point out that muslims have indeed done horr...

Killfile: No - it makes a human being and a human governance out of an artificial moral absolute. Hmm.. not as catchy as what I said.. could even be construed as meaningless drivel.. you need to work on that :) I don't contend your 2 points mainly because it's not what I've been debating about, and ...

vtwahoo: With respect to #1: there is a difference between "did they have the right to post the cartoons" and "was it right to post the cartoons." I would ask that you clarify which is your position. I'd be glad to. My position is that they had full rights to come out with the ar...

Killfile: but what you're doing is blowing one of the world's problems way out of proportion - and in doing so pretending that there's nothing else going on that is worthy of concern. No I'm not blowing one of worlds problem out of proportion, how on earth do you get that idea? we are discussing two...

You people amaze me.. Every single time I cite facts upon facts of crap the muslims have done you say "b-b-b-b-but those are individual cases and not meant to reflect the normal muslim". But then what should reflect the normal muslim? How about an easy example: What if the governments of t...

killfile: Well, don't forget Executions per capita, where sierra leone, kuwait, oman, jordan, saudi arabia, iran, yemen, kyrgyztan, egypt, lebanon, and afghanistan have a higher rate then United states. And what is the difference between executions per capita and murders, rape and assault rate? Offi...

Wandering mystic: Before I even start, let me ask you this: Do you actually support restrictions on free speech? A simple yes or no will suffice. Of course you seriously want to make this about racism and other -isms.. Well I don't. You know why? Because I have no real interest in racism, it's not a...

Eldos' quotes If the Muslims do not draw the prophet Muhammid because of their religious beliefs, I think people of other religions should respect that. Yes, I fully respect the fact that if I ask a muslim to draw muhammad, he will deny to do so because of his religious beliefs. But why then can't t...

Laiks' Quotes: only make me wonder how a muslim could possibly take it in a remotely positive way. to speak out against self-censorship is one that is certainly respectable but not like this. don't you ever wonder why people don't just up and slander each other all the time? Because it's wrong. Maki...

Were you aware that the same editor of the Jyllands-Posten allegedly refused to publish a Jesus cartoon (and one that was deemed as mildy humorous by some local Christian authorities, at that?). Why, yes. I am aware of it. Have you personally seen the cartoons? Why, yes. I have. Did it occur to you...

I don't know about the rest of you but I'm NOT Muslim and -=I'm=- pretty pissed off about these caricatures. I think they demonstrate two fundamental things: an ignorance about Islam and a lack of cultural sensitivity...both of which are appalling. Good for you.. But do you actually know the backgr...

Wow, those are some fantastically vast generalizations there. Well, you do make some prejudgements of your own. I'm pretty sure every Muslim is offended by the caricature How do you truly know? Talked to masses of them? Are these objections the objections of the masses of muslims or merely a few ri...

I just think that the irony of it all is so very amusing.. Most of the violent upsurge in objections against the cartoons has been because they portray an image of Muhammed, the content isn't really the mainpoint, the mainpoint is that islam bans pictures of muhammed and this clearly violates that l...

You'd do well to ignore the plotholes of 'why is there gantz' and the others like why are there aliens and why are there vampires.. Mainly because they are just a structure for the characters to evolve in and even though they are 'a' carrot to lure the reader onwards, structure is rarely if ever exp...

I'm liking what's happening, the elbow shot was completely hilarious and so sad at the same time, I love kurono as the fucking idiot, love to hate him that is, and I like the inner struggle he's having. I think it's interesting how easily the girl trusts her feeling and goes after kurono, and I wond...
