most here in Denmark are concerned .. but few know what to do.. I think we are waiting for you to resolve what you can .. while it would probably be the most wise action to force you president of the "throne" with international pressure .. I believe most European politicians are afraid of the reprecussion of that - you are still a democracy and as such it's hard to politically gather support for any actions .. probably because we still believe it's best you handle this yourselves .. every early democracy will have it's hardships (and of course older ones will as well)- but how they prevails tells alot about how they view liberty and the rights of both enemies (domestic and abroad) and citizen.

I don't think you've watched BSG with an openmind (although that would probably depress you more since it's even worse once you dig down through the waste of human deprevation) .. but this show is actually about the nature of humanity - asking the simple question - why should we survive? It's also a show that looks very seriously at human flaws and somehwat celebrates them, since it is our flaws that enables us to surpass ourselves.. it is the fact that we sin, cry, despair and fail, that makes it even more glorious when we rise to the challenge in spite of our shortcomings .. and the only reason that we rise is because - essentially it would be suicide not to.. But now it's a discussion of something more than just entertainment.. it's a question of what we want to believe in - and why... I don't need a posterboy with a few cracks in the facade - that depresses me - because few are like that (very very few) - and it's an unrealistic ideal - we are above, and below, heroes these days .. it's time we face the truth and start dealing with reality instead of mellowing in idealistic and unrealistic selfglorification.. and maybe alot of people can't handle that, which makes me sad - fairytails are for kids.. Don't be naive just because it's easier .. I understand why some need to escape - and why some can't .. but a choice needs to made and questions asked.. what do I believe in? what will sustain me when reality consumes all the fairytales that kept me warm? I say.. even if the glass is half-empty - at least it's not empty.. yet...

then it's our imagination that is lacking .. although I would argue that it's our will to face reality .. I don't use these things to escape - only to enrich .. which is why I hardly watch TV anymore.. There's plenty of things that makes me forget already..

as others have said; If there's a difference when playing a female, compared to male .. I play both, but if there isn't - I only play male..

maybe those who are corrupted by the force is actually just corrupted by themselves.. as they gain more power they get more afraid of losing it, and greedy .. more emotional as that increases their power - and all of a sudden, they are completly lost in themselves.. and the darker parts of human natur.. (at least darker in SW terminology) When it comes to the physical manifestation my theory falls short.. as this is, to some degree, a clear sign of The Force's ability to corrupt. But in the whole of the SW universe you have seen Grey Jedis who, while still following their emotions, does not succumbed to total egoism.

well - it did spin off an interesting discussion (imo) - so even if it wasn't what you intended, it still served a purpose..

Yeah I'm personally really tired of happy endings.. and let's face it BSG is still a happy ending show compared to reality! I like it when something questions my moral, my way of thinking and generally forces me to take a stand instead of just entertaining me .. TV is just as good a media for Drama as theatres imo, since it can do things theatres can't - create entire worlds and sets in full 3D ..

He clearly doesn't know what real pain is.. But sure, we all need every-day pain and remorse to keep us focused ..

I used to alot .. watched SG-1 all the way to season 7 and Stargate Atlantis season 1 .. but then I lost interest - the story is repetitive and badly written, it has imho opinion outlived it self.. it's time to wrap it up! But I thought that Richard D. Anderson was pretty good .. he made the show a little less serious (in a good way) and made the characters seem more alive.. But it was BSG that made me turn away .. it outshines SG/A in every way and is by far the best Sci-fi show I've ever seen!

alot of people are already taking drugs with some pretty extensive sideeffects.. in the end it's about choosing the lesser of two evils.

I absolutly agree.. Jedis are selfsacrifising and pacifistic - like any good Christian is supposed to be.. and the evils in SW are like the evils in Christianity - Greed, selfishness, lust for power and the disbelief of established authority and creed..

and what's the point - of pointing that out? - which was my question.. again methods are inert - it's how you use them that that determins turns the wheels of morality and perception (along with the context).. if I pull a gun and kill some random person it would be considered evil .. but if I killed someone who just raped a 10 year old girl - I imagine a whole lot of people would consider it just - even if, from a perspective of common morality, it's wrong to kill! the situation is essentially the same - I kill a person .. but the context determins the perspective .. DN just pointed out that the gun itself is not evil.. I'm just wondering why that was worth pointing out?

let's not argue methods .. "Good" people toture as well .. they kill as well and equally hurt - the tools of war, death and misery is used on all fronts.. and we are still arguing Christian morality .. as in self-sacrifice = good .. and using this terminology we are all bad/evil sinners.. one of the real question (imo) is .. does the end justify the means? --- I kinda agree with you Nightshade .. but I don't understand your point - SW is not some universal truth, the characters are as black/white as the universe they inhabit.. they are evil and good because they are constructed that way.. your perception is just as false as that which you attack.. since you are trying to cramp reality* into SW - where it doesn't belong.. (* meaning your reality)

don't forget cheap booze and hangovers..

tried again today.. (fully rested and without any kind of alcohol in my blood) reaction time of ca 1.6 (edit of course that was 0.16 .. doh.. ) and a memory score of 100/95 ooh yeah! ^_^

with experiance comes wisdom..

Yeah I actually think it's a very good thing.. mostly because it allows you to focus on your studies and let that be your job - which many of the more serious students do! they consider it work and therefore put extra effort into it .. but working a regular job with similar hours you can earn up to twice as much.. so if you are in it for the money - well then you are an idiot! ^_^ But it's not easier to get in .. you have to have a certain grade to be admitted.. so there is a filtering process - but even the poorest kid can attend college, if he's smart enough.. and that's a really good thing imo! What they are learning about? I don't know what you mean .. it's College - there's like a thousand different classes.. The braindrain is a starting trend, yeah.. but our goverment is trying very hard to stop it .. mostly it's because of the high taxes! when you reach a certain income threshold you have to pay 60% ... but then again, in our own way we are very patriotic - so alot of them stay in spite of it..

Printscreen ftw eh. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Shame on you for not trusting me. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> lol ... I looked at the average score instead of my own... hahahahaha

http://www.bbc.co.uk/science/humanbody/sleep/tmt/ try testing you memory.. I had a 98 procent succes rate in remembering who I saw.. but only 68 in placing them in the correct group.. (I'm tired dammit)

considering the fact that I just woke up, still drunk and beginning hangovers .. I think 0.1956 is pretty good.. ^_^

depends on alot of things.. but it's around 900-1000 $ as soon as you turn 18 and is attending school (double if you have kids) .. although if you earn more than 500-600$ on the side (pr month) you have to pay full taxes (51%).. That's in Denmark though.. I would imagine they get more in Sweden or Norway - since things are a bit more expensive there.

which is why I love Scandinavia.. Schools have no tuition and you get paid for attending.. :cool:

true.. but neither is there a reason why things not included (and this poorly supported) are in fact sub-plots .. I would consider it, the fact that Nihilus and The Exile being the "same", a major importance to the overall story .. I mean Visas and Kreia would suddenly be much more interested in The Exile as both are affiliated with Nihlius.. But this theory just screams "The Matrix" in my ears - where Smith and Neo are in fact opposites of an equation - or in Christian terms - The Christ and Anti-Christ .. I adhear to Ockhams Razor in this instance - the most probable intepretation is imho that they simply share some of the same abilities.

This is only a perspective that you have proven .. the same arguments could be used to argue that Nihilus is a product of the terrible event The Exile caused at Malachor .. which would explain how TE is linked with the Sith and Nihilus and would explain how s/he and the Sith both share the same characteristics (hole in the force). Since they all experianced it personally.. Nowhere does it say that The Exile and Nihilus are the same, but if you want to find proof for it - of course you are gonna stumble across certain phrases or pieces of dialouge which can somewhat support the claim .. but then again I could "prove" that The Exile and all the Sith Assasins are the same in much the same manner.. since they too share his ability to feed off the force.

Which is why I stopped playing MMORPG .. sad really.. that said, I would probably fall under the deathmonger catagory .. ... what? I'ts perfectly okay to vent your psychotic rage in a FPS all by yourself - but as soon as you do it in an online game you are a wacko!!?? I'll kill you!!
