Quote
“Political philosophers have often pointed out that in wartime, the citizen, the male citizen at least, loses one of his most basic rights, his right to life; and this has been true ever since the French Revolution and the invention of conscription, now an almost universally accepted principle. But these same philosophers have rarely noted that the citizen in question simultaneously loses another right, one just as basic and perhaps even more vital for his conception of himself as a civilized human being: the right not to kill.”
 
-Jonathan Littell <<Les Bienveillantes>>
Quote

"The chancellor, the late chancellor, was only partly correct. He was obsolete. But so is the State, the entity he worshipped. Any state, entity, or ideology becomes obsolete when it stockpiles the wrong weapons: when it captures territories, but not minds; when it enslaves millions, but convinces nobody. When it is naked, yet puts on armor and calls it faith, while in the Eyes of God it has no faith at all. Any state, any entity, any ideology that fails to recognize the worth, the dignity, the rights of Man...that state is obsolete."

-Rod Serling

Still wonder what Bohemia or Codemasters (probably latter) was on when they used this music in the game. The "dieeeeeeee!!!" at 3:16 is epic :lol:

Another case where I would have never heard of this song/band if I hadn't watched a movie. I love it.

Looks like some crazy travelling in that video

It probably is like any other sports anime. It starts out somewhat grounded, if unrealistic, and eventually becomes a martial arts tournament show with basketballs. Tiger Flip Dunk or Falling Leaves Three Point are probably thing that come up.

Or they face a team coordinated by some computer program. Or... something.

No mind to think. No will to break. No voice to cry suffering.

I have a soft spot for old English rock bands... Black Sabbath, Fleetwood Mac (yes, they're originally from England), Slade, Pink Floyd, Queen, Status Quo, Led Zeppelin etc.

Just some interesting music I ran across a long ago and forgot about, until Youtube's algorithms for whatever reason suggested it

^ We all thought we were so cool (style), in the 80's. We were wrong.

I know I've posted this before, but I really like it, 'kay?

Civilization, in fact, grows more and more maudlin and hysterical; especially under democracy it tends to degenerate into a mere combat of crazes; the whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, most of them imaginary. - H.L. Mencken

I wasn't liking it all that much at first, but then for some random reason I put playback at .75 and it suddenly became much more my speed (pun intended).  Now I must try this with many songs.
