Deus ex Machina: the Will of The Force ...
this has probably been mentioned .. but I'm too lazy to search 6 pages to see if that was the case.. first of all, just because, or even if, the Force has a will doesn't mean it's ultimately evil or good .. it can be both or neither! That argument is false .. since God may just as well not care, or ultimately let the decision belong to the human in question! if you choose to be evil you must face the consequence .. he still punishes you at the end, hence he is not without power to control you! you can't escape your ultimate destiny in Christianity .. it's either Heaven or Hell at the hand of God.. unless you view it like, since God is all knowing everything must be predetermined .. hence there is no free will! but since every decision can have a multiple outcomes, you can also just say that God can see every outcome, and let's the ultimate decision be up to you .. hence you have a free will and God is still omniscient.. I believe that the Force in SW is intented like the guiding hand .. the one that grants you the power to change your world .. and has a destiny for you that you can approach in different ways! so it's like a predetermined destination, that you can travel to by which ever road you like!

Um, so? Why should he be granted US citizenship in the first place? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> so you have no problem with them using his desperation and sending him to war to fight their fight? ..

Your view on Politics
Half of the US Government system was based on the Roman system and plus Every Army in the world was based off the Roman military. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I know .. I should have been more clear! I meant the part where you promise citizenship and benefits afterwards ..

Your view on Politics
well if it's then use like a carrot where you 'lure' people by promising them benefits and/or citizenship .. the whole idea kinda looses it's value imo! you present people with a kind of shortcut which they could have achieved by studying longer.. and then you boost the nations army in the meantime.. I just don't like the idea of drawing people in under such promises and then sending them off into deadly situations! I know it's ultimately their choice, but still! and in the situation with the mexican it may be his only choice to gain citizenship! and their using his desires against him ..

Your view on Politics
The reason he got the good job because he had 20 years experince of leadership, mechanics, and management skills. Working in the Army and going to work at a office is the same thing. You go to work, have 10 min breaks every 2-3 hours, lunch, and works end at 5 during peacetime. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I can see the logic in some cases .. But from what I hear (from family living in America) .. if you have been in the army you have a better chance to get any kind of job, since it's generally regarded as a good character trait to have served your nation .. and that seems militaristic to me!

Your view on Politics
something that always worried me a little is the fact that if you join the army you are in a much better position to get a job afterwards .. that seems a little .. well .. militaristic to me!

Your view on Politics
well that's the attitude! it's just my observations .. as I said in another post, your country was founded by pioneers, who made their own fortunes .. so that's kinda rooted in your culture..

you said socialism .. which kinda means communism.. but Social Democracy wouldn't work in USA I think .. you need another mentality for it!

School life in Japan
I think we all do .. but my friend is a declared homosexual .. so it's kinda natural for him to grap male-butts .. like any normal guy will squeeze a female buttocks while under the heavy influence of alcohol!

Your view on Politics
And who are you to set conditions on what a woman can or can't do with her body? How would feel to have something growing inside you and be told that you can't have it removed? It's astonishing that in the 21st. century men still think that women's bodies are public property. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I agree with you Steve .. but like B5C I still wish abortions were rare .. It's still sad that one foolish and unthoughtful moment can led to the death of an unborn child! but nonetheless I would rather (even though I can't make that call and won't pretend to say I can)) have the girl take the abortion instead of that said child growing up and being mistreated (which could be the case) .. and if the girl thinks that abortion is the right thing and has made her mind, then it's her decision, and no one (except the father) should have any say in the matter!

Your view on Politics
Yes, I believe forcing democracy by war is doomed to fail. Also, I don't believe in the american version of democracy. Actually, I wouldn't even call it a real democracy, but seeing your view on so many other things, I just know that explaining it to you would be fruitless. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Acullay you are right. Were not a democracy. Were a Republic. So do you think Dictators like Saddam, Kim Jong Ill, Castro, and others acullay good for the world? You dont believe democracy can work. Then you are not for freedom. Democracy is a government that every person in the world right to have. Without democracy and the America pushing the ideals of democracy. This planet will be full of Kings and Dictators. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> who made you the King of this planet? how do you get to choose who is better suited for democracy? how about all the dictators in Africa doing far worse things than Saddam? why haven't you even warned them? you are attacking people who are threatning you, that's a wise move in some regards.. but don't try to justify it with "we are bringing Democracy to the world"! I'm so sick of that attitude .. you are running around like an 8 year old child who found a gun and want's to change the world .. not every country on this planet is ready for democracy! Europe just got it 200 (and in some cases 50-100) years ago .. and we had to change some very ugly fundamentals first! I mean it took us so many years to even get to the point where we could do it right .. and you want to force it on someone, who has never had freedom, in less than 2 years!?? (I'm gonna go kick something, very hard, now)

Talk with foreigner
I don't think the immigration to Denmark is a problem .. and I think DF is too extreme .. and their policies only hurt us in the long run, sure it's bad that the elders aren't being taken properly care of, and that should be corrected! but if we start paying much more to them in pensions and also cut taxes (and then take the money from education and young people), then we will face an ever bigger crisis in 10-20 years! plus we need the "input" of foreigners .. without them our economy will collapse due to the fact that we won't be enough people paying for everything! but I'm SF .. not Radikal .. don't worry!

What are your Ability Scores?
I just deleted my previous post and decided to be honest .. and I give myself an average of 20/3 in all scores .. I didn't want to admit it first .. but I'm the next step in the evolution of man .. (but since the human race is degenerating that's probably not a good thing)

Talk with foreigner
hmm ... everyone I know feels the pretty much the same way .. But then most I know live in Jylland (along with me), so maybe it's more widespread here, due to the lesser concentration of immigrants .. but the few people I know from Sj

Well, it looks like it totally blows.

Talk with foreigner
limited here?? where do you live in Denmark? we've changed the word immigrant to "guest worker" and then to "new danish" .. it's considered very unpolite to say "turkish" to someone from Turkey .. we even have very detailed laws against various kinds of discrimination .. I mean if we aren't the land of political correctness (gone too far?) I don't know where that is! (and don't even want to) and I think this is a bad thing .. you don't make something go away simply by inventing new words.. that's just avoiding the issue! it's become unpolite to even talk about immigrants .. and people will call you a racist for even bringing up the subject (tried that several times)! ghettos are forming in Denmark, but everyone is so afraid to talk about that nothing is really being done ..

Taks .. you'r Christian right? most republicans I know are.. and most of them fiercly defend their christian faith.. how come then, that you would rather have the poor guy die because he can't afford anything .. rather than helping him, like your good books tells you too!? and pyramid scheme .. what are you talking about! it's not the politicians that are getting all the money! it's equally diveded out between those who need it! poor and rich .. get real yourself!
