Re: Can I tell you how stupid… (about Abortion)

Is anybody else irritated by how we separate people into "pro-life" or "pro-choice"? IMHO it's a terrible way to frame the issue and it WAY oversimplifies the debate. Very few people fall into the cartoon caricature of either camp. Anyway, not to bring this point back up again, b...

Re: Evolution vs creation row ends in stabbing

Is this a consequence of blind faith? I think that faith was necessary but not sufficient for this particular incident to have happened. This guy was obviously an unstable human being (beyond his ignorance of evolution). As for alcohol, around half of the stupidity is CNS impairment and the other ha...

Re: 48% of Americans Reject Evolution

What you need to consider, though, is whether the Quran is the only ancient document that contains "predictions" of modern scientific discoveries. That is definitely not the case. De Rerum Natura by Lucretius is arguably more "inspired" by this criterion (because its correct pred...

Re: DEATH NOTE.

I actually thought the manga ending was brutal, poetic, and ironic. Of course, the final arc of the manga and anime did stretch my credulity to the breaking point. The intellectual dance became ridiculous (in a bad way). In reality a government would probably just assassinate Light or lock him up an...

Re: Newbie Berserk Discussion Thread

Although it makes perfect intuitive sense that Guts could not make a sacrifice as he IS a sacrifice himself I can't remember where in the manga this is explicitly stated. I do, however, have in my BotH scanlation a line that seems to indicate that it IS possible for Guts to make a sacrifice. Slann (...

Re: DEATH NOTE.

The dude was a hero, sacrificing eternal life to make the current one a little better Not to be argumentative, but the way I read the manga there is no such thing as eternal life in the Death Note universe. As my townl scanlation has Ryuk saying, "There's no heaven or hell. No matter what they...

Bears = "godless killing machines" -Stephen Colbert

But really, it's just that making Kozlov a bear is super random. It does provide some comic relief, though.

Hello. Long time and frequent lurker (to the point that I am familiar with almost all the frequent posters). I bought the TV series after DL'ing/watching it and immediately hunted down the manga (how could you not after the ultimate cliffhanger of the Eclipse?). At first I read all the BoTH scanlati...
