Heh. I'd actually like to see them try with the opposition of France and (perhaps) Germany. Hey, perhaps the new European Union will be led by Turkey! (w00t)

Can't tell you how happy that makes me.

Of course not. I love his creative talent, his vision, and his creations. But his directing skills are probably his weak spot. That doesn't mean I could do better, or most people could for that matter. It takes a lot of work and skill to create something as outstanding as SW. But if anything, he could probably benefit from a few pointers from others in the trade.

No, you don't. You just say that "poverty and stuff" should be eradicated, but you don't really give any specific solutions to terrorism. That's the same stuff everyone would wish was true in a perfect world, but that is just that, wishful thinking. I thought we had already gone over this. Their might gives them the right. The US have worked their way to the top. Nobody gave them anything for free. They are today's "Roman Empire", with everything that entails. You don't like it? Then get into politics and try to make your country an alternative. But no, all you people do is whine and moan about how Evil the US are.

And those horrible, horrible close-ups during lightsaber fights...

War might not be the way to fight the terrorists, but I don't see you offering a better alternative. Sorry, but what we have came at the cost of bloody wars and revolutions. If the rest of the world can't keep up, it's a shame, but that doesn't give them the right to point the finger at us and use it as an excuse for terrorism.

Not for me. I can't bear the thought of ever being wrong, and that's why I hold no beliefs, at all. "

No. The war is officially over. The democratically elected Iraqi government is not in a state of war with the US. No amount of criminals trying to sabotage the democratic process is going to change that.

Isn't stupidity an opinion, too? As per usual, you have failed to write a coherent post. (Didn't I tell you to let your dog write your posts for you?)

"Shock and Awe" could indeed be considered a terrorist doctrine. However, war (as in an army against another) always has had a strong psychological component. I'm not sure every tactic aimed at decreasing the enemy morale is terrorism, but I suppose that depends on the standpoint. But at any rate, the war's over.

Yeah, but that meant you no longer could build their kickass budget Torch vessels. And in order to exterminate the Druuge, you just need to wait until the Kohr-Ah win the Doctrinal War and begin their "cleansing"... I think the Druuge were one of their first victims.

Demagogy at its finest. A widely extended practice to be sure, but taken to an absurd degree in my country. Oh, well. I'll stop now before I'm accused of being a fascist.

It's always nice to see that despite one's best efforts to illustrate a standpoint, somebody always manages to dumb it down. It's illogical to think that the Universe "just is" and it has been like that forever. Causality is a constant in our reality, and thus, it makes sense to think that there must be a cause for the Universe as well. However, if we conceive a "God" (or a creating force, or whatever you want to call it) that is outside our reality, it no longer needs to be bound by the rules that usually apply, causality among them. Is it a leap of faith? An assumption? Indeed. BUT it is applied logic whithout ruling out the possibility of a system that doesn't obey logic. You believe in the infallibility of logic. I, while having an unshakable faith in logic, do not believe that nothing can escape it.

Ariloulaleelay pwnz j00. And the Thraddash kick some serious ass, too. I just don't get how could they get raped by the Ilwrath.

Yeah. All I have to say about that is: " Well, Lucas is SW, with all that entails. The bad parts, too. SW being cool does not mean it's flawless and that does not make GL a god. I like SW overall, but I reckon that without Lucas directing, some parts could have been better. The horrible way the lightsaber fights are filmed in E3, for instance. Lucas went for a close-up approach to the fights, which results in the spectator not really knowing what the hell is going on. However, there is no guarantee that with a different director the overall result would have been better, or even that good.

So much coffee will give you an ulcera.

True enough, but that still doesn't account for the relation between space and time. Considering them two sides of a same coin, if you will, works better. My concept of space is not a vacuum with particles floating in it. I tend to consider it more like a "fluid" together with time. Perhaps the discovery of such "gravitons" will lead to the prediction and discovery of "chronatons", but that is science fiction right now. The universe of stars isn't infinite. It has a finite, calculated mass. However, if you can conceive the infinity of time, can't you conceive the infinity of space, too? I think that the farthest we have managed to look is the infrared background noise, which is assumed is the remnant radiation of the initial Big Bang. That would indicate where the boundary of space is, assuming that space began its expansion at the beginning of time, and assuming space expands at the speed of light. Lots of assumptions there. I think I read something about the expansion of space, but unfortunately that's beyond my knowledge. But anyway, I think that the Universe being infinite has more to do with the curvature of space than the euclidean concept of an infinite space.

No. Read again, and execute the instructions in the order they are given. FIRST, get rid of your prejudices, THEN, watch HF movies.

Of course it is. And empires protect their interests before anyone else's. Why should they do otherwise?

I have not said that space is finite. In fact, current theories sustain the opposite. But you are still applying a mundane perspective. Why does it have to be anything outside space, even space itself? But at any rate, it is still possible that there is something outside the infinite space. Those are not mutually precluding statements. Infinite units or sets can be contained within other infinite sets. Yes, yes. That's great and all, but it's not what I meant. I know that scientific laws are reliable enough. What is not a self-evident truth is that science will be able to explain everything. You said so yourself in a previous post, in a quote of Stephen Hawking, I think. And even if we do what Hawking proposes, there is still no guarantee that reason can find answers for everything.

I suggest the two of you get rid of your prejudices and watch a few more HF movies.
