never underestimate the powers of Photoshop! ^_^

Lucius .. the best you can do now is simply back away .. don't show him any fear! he can smell that!! :D

2. hmm you seem to focus a tad too much about refering to sources .. that's cool with me, and as long as you are doing the work for me .. who am I to complain? :D "Calvanism: (who are we to second guess God -- but I thought we were talking about The Force?)" .. yes well since we are talking about The Force as a a kind of sentient being, it's normal, albiet not correct, as a western, to assign ceartin Judeo-Christian ideas to the properties of such a force.. 4. http://www.angelfire.com/electronic/bodhidharma/mu.html

then it's good it is my face!

hahahah .. no .. it's me! :D (Never knew I looked like a transvestite!?)

yes .. wonder why?

Its because they are christian republicans. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> you must be intentionally trying to piss them off then .. since the 'formula' can be applied to any society ..

why so? it's what democracy is all about .. pretty simple ..

very informative .. and he raises some good points! as I understand it he says that it's important for a society to approach "it's" idea of an ideal state .. and never stop striving for it, even though it will never be achieved .. hence the mix if philosophy and politics.. and that such should be discussed openly and not in secret!

and you, my lady, is ugly .. But I will be sober in the morning!

next time remember to add some mistakes .. it was too perfect (for the short amount of time you used to write it) so I suspected foul play! (takes one to know one I guess! hehe )

---- 1. And we have seen, in the universe of SW, multiple beings trying to take ultimate power .. but thus being consumed by their own desire according to the well known quote of what power brings .. Is The Force involved? Who knows .. 2. Well Rasputin wasn

nicely copied .. unless you wrote that of course? http://www.parascience.org/PoliticsandPhil...eyreallymix.htm remember to quote next time!

yeah .. and that Sith guy with the blades crossed is really popular .. those kind of posters lose alot of identity to me, since they all use the same avatars ..

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? ..

few of them venture in to the dark and foreboding "Way off-topic" wasteland anyway ...

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 ..

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 ..

right now you are a lightsaber wielding legofigure ..

yes like that .. seems alot like the old Roman system doesn't it?

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!

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!

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!
