Philosophy

Hi guys, We have been discussing about how debates are handled here and we have decided some guidelines are needed. please note these are not ultra strict guidelines, as you all know, we are usually pretty flexible with these kinds of things. this is what we have drawn up, any questions pease go ahead. these guidelines are liable to change during initial stages of implimentation. (we will let you know if we change it.)

First off, I'm not really sure if I am posting this in the right section. Please feel free to move or delete should the contents be inappropriate or offensive. Well, like the topic says, why do jerks and creeps keep getting the girl when they are totally annoying or irritating. I may have a theory on this. Of course this may not be 100% true for all, or may not be true at all. I thought that maybe for some reason, those girls wanted to stay with those kind of People is probably insecurity. Not in the sense that the guy could protect the girl, but rather the girl would feel secure that the guy they are going out with would repel certain competition. That perhaps the…

zeo, I'd like to understand your reason for saying XD is light for its size... because the way i worked it out, he is insanely heavy for his size. gigantic height to weight ratio is 1.45 whereas the XD height to weight ratio is 517.31 . if we take that ratio and apply it to Guyver 1.. normal Guyver 1... that would make him 90 tons. shouldn't XD be 7 tons? I dunno, it seems like maybe height to weight ratio doesn't work in this fashion? i mean.. i just checked on elephant, and a large elephant can weight 10 tons... so how does this work? I thik we have to work in 3 dimensions don't we? ok hold on....

Ok, it seems this is a subject not talked about much but is very noticable in the Guyver universe. What are some theories about female optimization when a woman wants to become a zoanoid or a zoalord? One topic that is of current interest is pregnancy and optimization. If a woman gets optimized, then would she loose the ability to reproduce and in turn just become a type of lost number? Or, would there be any special precautionary measures taken during processing to make sure that this doesn't happen? Everyones thoughts?

so when a zoanoid transforms into it's battleform, it seems to gain mass? well first off I think we need to confirm this factor. what evidence do we have that a human form does not have great mass? (the only one i can think of is mizuki helping fumio... but that may or may not be reliable. there may be other factors involved.) can we come up with some way of explaining how a human form has the same mass as his battleform? if not, and there is really a mass discrepancy, how can we go about explaining it? we have already had some idea, but maybe we need to clear it up. while we are talking about this, I think that a good subtopic to be involved in this maybe at …

I was reading on M-theory a while back, and how some versions of it suggest how we might survive the death of our universe. How not only we might escape into an alternate dimension, but how we might possibly create a new universe with just and ounce of energy (all the positive and negative energy almost cancel out, leaving just an ounce worth). That's very interesting when I started reading the bible again last year, when some of these crazy theories start stirring some things that most would say come from science fiction. Things like this: If this universe were created, and -this- planet were added in later through a dimensional gate way... if it's core were a di…

This topic was made by a member from my own forum http://beyondword.forumotion.net/intelligent-debates-f15/has-the-west-lost-their-creativity-t321.htm#1778 He thinks that the media has lost its creative juices in movies.etc Discuss this

Me and my cousin play a lot of games. rpg and heroclix and such. So we wanted to add the Guyver into certain Games and we came up with a few questions and a few brain teasers. at least for me. We got the basics mostly covered but when how his powers worked it came up with a few problems during gameplay. so my first question is this... His sonic busters. Are they similar to the powers of the mutant banshee? The Manga showed he can use it to atomize targets by resonating to their resistant frequencies, and it showed him using it as a means to escape by letting out a distorting pulse. like a really high pitched wail. Ok, now in the new series it went a step further. Wh…

responding to a picture that kenji chan posted, i wrote this :- god is able but not willing to prevent evil. that does not make him malevolent. that makes him loving. because to love somebody is to trust them to make the right choices. god trusts us. god loves us. he therefore allows us to be excposed to evil so that we may grow stronger. people with closed minds will always come up with such things to attack others beliefs.

Now we've all seen the data of the Gigantic Exceed says its the form of the true power, but... ...I believe it's not just limited to the Giant. Remember, Caerleon is believed to refer to Archanfel when he says there was one who could use powers of the other zoalords. Now if the Gigantic armor was designed to defeat Archanfel, and Sho was linked to all that data(probably Archanfel's data as well) in the advent ship, the armor couldn't be limited to a giant mode. I believe if Sho fought other zoalords in Exceed mode, the armor would adapt to their abilities. Example: If Sho fought Li Yentsui, Sho should be able to see his portals and possibly maybe able to create to hi…

I am so ashamed to live in California right now. And this after Obama's election, too. I hate people; it's like every time I figure I can trust them, they go out of their way to prove that they're scum.

First off this isn’t a…boys are better then girls or vice versa, thing! It’s a childish argument and its not worth having. Anyway, now that we officially have a female Guyver on the cast (I don’t count the OVA) what do you think the differences between a male and female Guyver are? Just to get the ball rolling I’ll point out that the physical structure of the female Guyver is different (other than the female body frame). For instance, some of the armor plates are different shapes, there are only two side rib structures connecting to the megasmasher’s protective plates and the joints at the hips seem to allow for the better range of movement. This is a common trait t…

Ok, so this is old news, that happened a couple weeks back. But I just can't believe that this happened in the States. I never thought I'd see the day that christians, or any religious group for that, would get arrested for going to a public event, trying to spread the word, and get arrested for it. Its really kind of shocking to me. But here's the video of the four who got arrested. Keep in mind this is not the whole footage, you can see it though on youtube.

Okay, this may be controversial and the subject of name calling (or racial terms) is not why I posted this, but it is this conversation in the comments that people were having and things that were being said back and forth to each other that really was just mind-boggling and I've known quite a few people who feel this way too. I'm so sick of all this racism crap, people need to get the focus off of race and onto the situation in the White House (or main body of government). Stop focusing on skin color and focus on ethics, focus on the laws, focus on the political scandals. Racism serves nothing but to divide the citizens of the country. Don't play into those games. HA…

I started the exact same post back on WG and the responces where intresting so I'm curious to see what everyone here at japan-legend. As for myself, I don't believe in any god. I've come to the conclusion that god and religion alike are nothing more then instruments of human concence and the fear of death.

Alright, let's stop griping about what I do for work, and more into real philosophy. What is the meaning of life? What is your raison d'etre? What is the proof that humanity deserves to exist? It's something that everyone thinks about every so often. It's pretty unlikely any of you have come to a conclusion, but I'm interested in discussing what you've come up with so far, so that we may pool our experiences, and maybe form a cohesive construct of what life means for a middle age person (age 15-40), which is the age range of this thread, if not this board. By no means am I asking you to reach a conclusive end now, however I'd like to know what you think it is at …

How do you think a Zoalord's zoa-crystal would react towards a control medal over it?

I've been reading a lot about converting energy into matter. I know that certain reactions can convert matter into energy, like fire. But what about the other way around? I've read that it can be done in super colliders but on a very small scale and at the expense of a lot of energy. Does the Guyver have the capabilities to pull this off on a more practical level? The Gigantic has plasma jets but as far as I understand that uses collected atmospheric gases in its reaction. Is there anyway a Gigantic could use this ability in total vacuum without charging up with matter first? If it could possibly be done, how? I ain't looking for any canon-official stuff here, just th…

I've always wondered about femininity and masculinity, and the standards that have been set, and why I don't think that they work. Take me, for example. I'm into cars, history, weapons, weather, traditional guy stuff. Yet I like to write, be creative, and if I had a girlfriend, I'd go shopping with her and do her hair and nails. That's the feminine stuff I'm into, and I also like to cook. I really think that the broad standards of femininity and masculinity are kinda crap and don't make a lot of sense. What works for one person probably won't work for another of the same gender or anything like that. Everyone's different. Personally, I like women who are…

Okay, this was posted as a myspace bulletin, and I found it too interesting not to pass on. Before you flame me, remember: it's not mine. I didn't write it. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- The vast majority of Americans believe that God exists, that Jesus is his son, and that God himself gave us the Bible and the Ten Commandments. In fact, Supreme court Justice Antonin Scalia has said that "Ninety-nine percent of Americans believe in the ten commandments." He has also said, "What the commandments stand for is the direction of human affairs by God." If 99% of Americans believe in the ten commandments, how can the Bible be repulsi…

Hello there, i've been thinking about this for a while now, if you look at Aptom and his ability to absorb other zoanoids powers, then look how he is evolving with each new power he takes into himself, is it me or does he look more and more like a zoalord! dont forget how he looked when we first met him, just like a Guyver only not as powerfull. my idea is this, the Guyver is a highley adaptable bio wepon, with some powers just like a zoalord, ie gravity control, teleportation ( when the Guyver first appears ) telepathy, ect. now if aptom does eat a zoalord and absorbes it's powers, then i beleve that he will become the Guyver only without a control medal. ie the perfect …

Okay, just checked back on an older Manga issue... the advent left 20 MILLION YEARS AGO! I was under the assumption they left only a million years ago. I don't care if they increase their technology at snail speed, they must be ludicrously advanced by now. Alcanphel is banking on numbers and his hopes he can bond with a Guyver unit... else they stand no chance in an all out attack. It also makes me more certain that apollyon is not directly involved with the Advent. Twenty MILLION years and they give a damn now? Looking iffy. ************************************* This topic was getting out of control in the orignial thread topic that it started in so it has thus been m…

I was wondering about that.And by God i mean a specific god,a god with a name,doesn't matter if it's the Christian one.I believe that there is a high power that created all.Now i'll go a little aside from this topic and recommend you the movie - Zeitgeist *torrent link removed by admin, because it potentially infringes copyright* (oh man it has 58000 seeders...) .It's about the Christianity,does it really exist,does Jesus really exist?The movie changed my believes.The next part that the movie talks about is the war.The airplane crash on September 11,the WWI,WWII,the war in Vietnam and how that impacted selected group of People that are currently governing from the shad…

It's interesting when something dreamed up inspires someone else to take the ideal and make something real from it... http://www.treehugger.com/files/2007/09/an...athin_anime.php
