No offense taken whatsoever; it's always nice to learn others' opinions.

I was talking about the Communism Revolution, not the regime they founded. As for books portraying the ugly side of Mao after he gained absolute power, there are many of them outside of China, and don't believe everything being said in them. The authors are the very persons prosecuted by Mao. How can they be objective in their books?

I second Kate as Bastila, but Hurley's going to look better in Bas's clothes though.

The most horrible part: playing the remote on Malachor and running into Storm Beasts who can kill me with one hit before I even try to run and throw some grenades.

Walsingham - All governments cover up their dirty laundries, so I wouldn't be surprised if what you suggest escaped my radar. During the Communism Revolution in China, however, Mao and his party defeated an army of tanks, airplanes and battleships, who also happened to outnumber them 3 to 1, with muskets and very little help from the Soviet Union. Mao's strategy was to gain the support of peasants and workers, and obviously he succeeded. The Chinese Civil War was a struggle within one nation. I just can't see the connection to terrorism today.

Mao did attack the infrastructure and police during the Communism Revolution in China, but the Nationalist Party at the time is quite corrupt. Mao never preached attacking civilians to cause chaos, unless landlords who take peasants' wives and daughters are also considered civilians.

There's no shame in that. Purple was the color of royalty once <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Interesting. Purple is also the color of royalty in China during the Tang Dynasty, but the emperors of China only wears gold. Coincidentally, purple and gold are my favorite colors.

Nice new sig, Jodo. I would take the Ravager, just to hang out with Visas. Plus, there is always something on the ship for Bao-dur to fix.

I was thinking about drawing a scene from Brianna and the Exile's 'combat training sessions'. This is what turned out : I don't know if it's just me, but the piccy looks a little weird, maybe a bigger knife?

I don't know if the suffering part still applies today. The Jews live on a land that's surrounded by enemies and so far has only kicked their enemies' a$$. Think about it, the terrorists are fighting Israeli's missiles and tanks with bombs tied to their bodies. I wouldn't call that war, more like a one-sided a$$-whopping.

Glad to see another fellow fanboy! Just one more pic , I can't resist it. Ancient Chinese clothes turn me on.

Way too few pics of pretty girls! Here is a newcomer among Chinese actresses: (Somehow, a part of me still lives in anicent China .)

Meta - My understanding of Chritianity is that there are minor and major sins. While harming another being is considered a major offense, masturbation and homosexuality would be considered minor sins in Chrisianity. Educate me if it's otherwise.

I love the smell of petroleum, that's why I never let my friends or family pump the gas and they all think I am just being nice .

I think what Mothman is trying to say is that he respects homosexuals as creations of God just as he does with everybody else. Homosexuality is a sin in Christianity, but so is adultery, which many Christians commit. Christians are sinners, too, so they cannot claim superiority in their soul over any one else's. They can only claim that they are more enlightened than others, but that's just my understanding of Christianity, and I am not part of it.

Sneakers (Reebok mostly), US 14 (48.5 in Europe), which proves lucky for me since sports stores always have leftover big shoe sales when they drop the price by more than half sometimes. p.s. Steve - Don't worry. Your feet's size is actually normal. I think US 13 is where they cut the line.

Are you planning to kidnap George Lucas? If you are, tell him I want a Twi'lek romance in Kotor III.

Interesting... I think if a person's heart is filled with love: love for the creator and love for her creations, then that person's actions would be benefiting this world and what he is doing would be called 'good'. When love becomes absent in your heart, the thoughts of greed, jealousy, hatred, etc. would sneak in, and your actions would become 'evil'. In the alternate universe described by indarkestday, if acts of love such as self-sacrafice is called 'evil', then 'evil' acts are what benefits all creator's creations. It doesn't matter if you would be going to 'heaven' or 'hell' for performing the supposed 'evil' deeds, you will still be rewarded for loving your fellow beings. So even if the creator is twisted and teaches her creations to hate each other, as long as we are offered the choice to interpret the creator's teachings as we are in this world, and as long as we have the choice to obey her or deny her just as we have today, that alternate universe won't be much different from what we have today. The force may indeed have a will, but it cannot impose its will on the beings in its universe. It only serves as guidance. That's just my take on the issue. Feel free to comment.

I actually liked Carth's voice: it's so young and vibrant. I really liked Jolee's voice too and can't figure out why some people would think that he's annoying.

Cheer on, fangirls. Though I am curious, how come nobody talked about the voice for Carth Onasi yet?

At first, I thought that homosexuality is unhealthy enough for us to look for cures, since I had a friend who was suffering greatly from it. Now I realize that the actual enemy is abusive and irresponsible sexual behaviors. If any one was angered by my ignorance, I apologize.

Hah! So homosexuality is not as unhealthy as I made it out to be. (It's still somewhat unhealthy though). I guess I was worrying too much. Meta - I am just wondering if the rate of infection is actually higher among heteros. I know the rate among heteros is growing faster, but is it already higher? p.s. Never mind. I guess it is already higher. p.s. Wait a minute! That's only the total numbers, not the actual rate. Heteros have a much larger population.

Which one is higher, meta? p.s. I am a lazyass.

Nope. Since I am not religious and don't have a universal moral standard to judge all humans, I have no right to say it's wrong or right. I just want to get the facts straight. Thanks, Darth Flatus, for the actual name of the condition.

Just because you never heard of it doesn't mean it's nonsense. Some one else pointed out that no.3 happens quite frequently. First two only happens to some of the straight people, but all homosexuals suffer from it.
