So women have a different purpose then men? Women shouldn't be fighting?

 

.....Nope. Nope. That speaks for itself honestly. I could say something, but it'd just detract from that.

Ideally no one should fight, but that's not happening. We also have different views of the purpose of humanity, just because I believe one thing regarding holiness and eternity, and you believe another. Next, define fight. I could argue that a woman like St. Catherine of Siena did a better job fighting than most men, even though she never touched a weapon in her life. Fighting doesn't have to involve matter or weapons.

Of course, it's obvious that you were referring to physical fighting. I could most likely make a long case for why I don't like the idea of woman in the military, or why I believe that men should fight in wars rather than women, but not only would it be rather edgy regarding BZP rules, but I also feel it would detract from the purpose of the blog entry. To add to that, this is not a position I can fluently defend. Defend, yes, but not fluently.

Oh, hey Kraggh. I just wanted to let you know that I will be very mad if the other most beautiful female characters do not include Eponine. >=(

I cannot say how much I agree with your points on the woman warrior concept. That, especially in the case of Black Widow always turns me off. Has some good elements, but overdone. I very much agree that how Catwoman is shown, or for that matter Snow White from Snow White and the Huntsman is a much better way of showing it; their nature and goal in life is not fighting. It's more like they fight because they're forced to. Yes, you may call me sexist if you want. I will laugh if you do.

And of course, in my defense, male characters whose whole character is fighting also bore me.

That would be Colm, not the Bishop. I think I'll go with Cosmic Titan's advice (what I was actually kinda planning to do in the first place).

I have to almost second DV. It's a decent movie, but I'm not overfond of it. Still, it has good quotes.

Oh my word, welcome back! I hope you stay longer.

I popped back in for two second on behalf of Aderia.

Aderia willed it!

But anyways, bye again.

While Colm does a good job, He cannot match the emphasis Alfie makes (seriously, if I was voting for which Valjean's singing I'd match I'd vote for Colm, since I'm about as bad at adding emphatic emotion as he is). What Have I Done decided it for me: Alfie's version sounded like a piercing cry from the heart (I have finally found music that matches my emotions at times!) and fits well the phrase "...Nothing remains but the cries of my hate" while Colm's version sounded like a stunned murmur, although not bad. But Alfie's pierced to the heart, while Colm only cut through a few of the outer layers.

So yeah:

Dan Brown apparently I write like.

But Suzanne Collins apparently does not write like herself. :|

Thankfully cuteness is very subjective. :|

How do I bump a blog entry? On the old forums you had to draft it, edit it, then publish it again, but that doesn't seem to work here.

Are elephants and donkeys natural enemies?

Because I totally see an inter-animal war about to start.

I USE SHIFT

WHAT IS THIS NONSENSE

AND I USE TWO HANDS TO TYPE WHILE DOING IT

HA

Not days, but definitely moments.

The only nitpick I could find was that the left arm looked a little too long, and the right a little think. Aside from that, excellent picture: I especially like the penciled/engraved texture it had.

No, I like to know who people are. Too easy to misuse....

Actually, they do: search for the banned members group, you get about five results. Hapori Dume isn't in it.

Ow, the importing of the old notepad gave me a ton of '<br />' things, but I easily solved that by copying the notes from the old forum and replacing the glitchy ones. Aside from that, great to see this back, thanks!

Well, if you think about it, that axe is so massive it'd spend most of the time dragging on the ground...

Well, I'm certainly looking forward to seeing whatever this is. An Issues tab? Sounds issuresting.

Which was caused by the person on fire throwing gasoline around and hugging people. Same end result.

That explains the smell of gasoline and burned flesh lingering around me blog.

Anyone have a few spare air fresheners?

And on that lovely note, I think I shall enclose this entry within walls of stone and living thorns, so that none save the great mods themselves may foray in to comment.

Is that cat gasping or licking the window?

Good Lord, what did I just wade into?

Let me put this in context: whenever I read something that I view as heretical, or even writing refutation such a belief, I periodically stop in the middle of things, and with burning eyes fixed on heaven either verbally or mentally refute the entire thing. If the writing is particularly irksome, I will seriously loath and utterly detest it.

Anyways, after I read through all these comments I'll probably just roll my eyes and lock the thing.

Also, hyperbole is awesome. I like dryly overstating things: it would probably take an entire book by Dawkins to make me feel sick to my stomach. One excerpt will just leave me with a bad taste in my intellect.

Also guys, I am used to reading opposing viewpoints, anything from Protestant tracts to people arguing for machine rationality, or denying the existence of the self. I just really don't like Dawkins.
