Philosophy
let's figure out how things work. whether we're coming up with theories for how our favourite characters do what they do, or talking about real life science and belief systems, we can talk in here.
There is a specific rules for this forum, inside. Read them.
I think it goes without saying you have to have an open mind.
If your mind is closed or you are devoutly faithful to your own beliefs it is advisable to skip this area.
This place is a discussion board.
If you show a repeated refusal to listen to others views, it ceases to become discussion. You will then be barred from this area.
So discuss your ideas, think up new possibilities, be creative and have fun!

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/08/21/anonymous-arrests-fbi_n_3780980.html#comments I thought I'd share this. What a laugh. Nice try and an epic fail federal pigs. Anonymous is like a hydra. Take out a few of us and more of us come. They've no idea; but we're all laughing since they're either stupid or just covering it up.

I was talking with Yuki in her blog about this earlier, and I though that it would be a good topic for here for us to discuss. We can also cite fictional examples, but I'm mostly looking at this from a "human" or "real life" POV. Here's a couple of things that I posted in her blog that I find disconcerting. One is that I have a fear of crowds and strangers, and the other is some of the disadvantages of living where I do. To quote: "Oddly, one of the things that I don't have to put up with where I live is a lot of people being around. And I hope that you didn't take my comment as "the whole human race is worthless because people are prone to acting out of fear"…

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…

Well, as the saying goes, ladies first. This is ridiculous. I really can't believe that this political group has this kind of power, and that they still believe they're oppressed by the "patriarchy".

I was thinking that since this is still a loose subject of science fiction. I think advanced prosthetic bodies that are fluid mechanical and look human and are more durable than the actual human body itself with real skin that feels real and looks real would be amazing. You could pretty much change how you look and even your gender. I think full prosthetic would allow people to live longer and would help us achieve more medical achievments today. Help us fight cancer, AIDS, and other horrific diseases both genetic and deadly. people who are dying could have their brain put in a brain case of some sort and brain case and placed in a prosthetic body of their choice.…

Whatever.....they apparently have civil marriage confused with religious marriage. The two are very different in terms of definition. I'm not sure that they understand what a marriage is. Marriage is different by definition with many cultures and societies. For some people, it is considered a religious activity and to other cultures it is completely different. Basically, in my opinion, marriage means different to other people. I think anyone should have that right because marriage is different in every country and with people. Here is a great definition that I found on the wiki.

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....

I have had this on my mind for sometime now. I know some people actually think that we are going to drown because heat waves are melting the polar ice glaciers and we have to do something or we'll die! Ok I understand that, but what gets me is that people are blaiming vehicles and factories for the problem. Its like they are all pointing fingures and not trying to solve the issue. My brother has this shirt from hot topic, that has a picture of an ice pop melting with the sun in the background, and it says "I Hate Global Warming" thats pretty much how I see this issue. I have gotten in debates with some students about it, because we had an assignment to persuade me to beli…

Ok, so before i begin talking, i want to first say, if you are religious, I’m not challenging what you believe as part of your religion. I'm not saying there is no God, and I’m not saying you should believe so either. Now, this is kinda long, but i feel there’s a huge area of discussion here, so please bear with me. So the topic is pretty self-explanatory, how do God and the Big Bang work with one another, or does one disprove the other. Some of you might know that last Sunday Discovery channel had a new show on called Curiosity that talked about this very topic. After watching it, it raised some questions in me that I’ve thought about before, but now have a little mor…

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.

I been following Guyver for a long time and I understand how almost all the powers of the zoanoids, zoalords and guyvers work but theirs one power I can't fully rap my mind around, gravity control attacks. I don't mean attcks like Guyot's Gravity Crusher or Black Hole' those I can easily understand. I'm talking more about attacks like the Pressure Cannon, Gravity Bullets and Gravity Halo. I have a rough idea how some of these power work but I was hoping someone would be able to give me a better understanding of them. P.S. I have read the data files but I find them rather vague on these types of powers.

if an object gets more massive as it approaches the speed of light... it must cause a big gravity well. because gravity is usually proportionate to mass. and you need more energy to create that.. but i was looking at ionocrafts.. and what happens is that the voltage crates a gravity well that the object falls into... what if you could combine tejh two effects in some way? or what if you could split the mass of an ogject.. what if you could concentrate that mass along 1 dimension and aim it at a black hole.. teh mass could attract each other and the object would move faster than light.. it would be warp drive. what about a hill? if you have a heavy object a…

At the moment Agito has two navigational spheres which Sho used to create the gigantic armour, what if Agito or Sho were to use these spheres to create a new upgrade armour on top or the existing Gigantic. Could this new Guyver exist and if so how strong would it be?

So I was wondering what it would be like for a Guyver to be placed in a space type environment? Could a Guyver space walk? Does a Guyver have any oxygen stored somewhere so that it can breath in a vacuum? Can a Guyver survive being hit by space debris? So many things to think about. What is the Advocacy's opinion on this?

Yeah, I know I haven't been around in a long time. But, this is a question that's been bugging me. Now, due to the difference of laws in different universes, some beings show a potential to withstand the weapons of a Guyver Unit. So, I want to bring some of my questions up to get some opinions. If U have a question that you would like answered, feel free to use this thread for it, as long as it relates to the topic at hand. And I put this in the Science section due to how science might play a role in some of these answers. Question 1 In relation to DC Comics, could a Guyver's Megasmasher or even a Giga Smasher vaporize Superman, Supergirl and/or Bizarro? …

Sorry i may repeat myself via changing the words and such if i do. Well really silly question and i am sure somewhere someone has asked this but i am not sure where, but what would happen in the world of the Guyver if it was crossed with say x-men or x-men evolution. Like i know that humanity was created via bioscience and though selective breeding with the aim of survival of the fittest, like with the other creatures the Creators made that way but humanity had the best potential as from what i remember two three things that stuck out were; 1) adaptability- changing and improving when need though there bodies did not do this but the way they went about the problems? …

I read an article written by Ryuki that the Guyver has two of everything; namely eyes, sensor orbs, and megasmasher. At first, I didn't understand why the Guyver would need two of everything until I found this. Here is a quote from a site "Flatworms are bilaterally symmetrical, with "mirror image" right and left sides, probably a development that arose during the evolution of a front end - if an animal tends to "lead" with the same end all the time, it will move most efficiently if both sides match. A preferred front end also leads to cephalization, a concentration of senses and processors in the front. A preferred front end becomes an actual head end. In an interes…

I've always wondered this, I've never had the privilege to read any of his books, but is H.P. Lovecraft's deities, old gods and so on based off of actual religious, pagan or demonic entities/gods or are they all created from his own imagination? I always thought it was interesting but the sources on his creatures seems limited to describing them within his own universe. I'm not really looking for more info with regards to their existences within his own stories, but anything referring to them outside of them. Like their inspiration or where he got the ideas for them. This may seem like an odd topic to many, but I actually really enjoy studying religions, belief system…

So this thread is about the historical records regarding the Crusades and the events that developed around them. I was very tired of always hearing how terrible Christians were, because of what the Crusader's did almost a thousand years ago. Well, I knew nothing about the Crusades at that time, and started doing my own research, I was amazed to discover how woefully ignorant the West is regarding the Crusades. I will post three Documentaries (of which I watched first) and will later post other videos and articles regarding the Crusades. Feel free to post links, or leave comments about the Crusades. =) withought further a do, lets begin, the History of the Crusades! The C…

I have always wondered how a Guyver "hears". I know that the VDF states that the Hyper Sensors are three dimensional compound sensors, the Hypersensitive Magnetic Field Sensor captures movement of mass with the Gravity Sensor and that the Quantum Magnetic Sensor can distinguish the brainwaves of humans and Zoanoids. In the new anime TV series, they worked differently, and worked on sonic vibrations. I know that to be false. So how can a Guyver hear? I think it's by either two ways: The Guyver's skin is sensitive to vibrations, similar to a snake, and can choose which part of the body "hears" vibrations, or that the crest on top of the Guyver's heads is the sole funct…

With the digital age, everybody can now be easily heard. Now that social media is the norm, everybody can freely express themselves. But is this a good thing? The ease of communicating also brought about lesser inhibition. Introverts are now a thing of the past. People now are easier to offend. I wonder how this came about. Were people really easy to offend to begin with and was just amplified by the digital age? Or was it because the boom of the internet failed to prepare the emotional state of a person? Did parents then fail to realize the effect of leaving their children to the internet that paved the way to those kids growing up to be emotionally fragile?…

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…
