  1. An armorer of Chu once boldly claimed to make the best spears and shields.

    "My shields are so strong; they cannot be penetrated by any weapon," he said.

    "My spears are so sharp; they can pierce any shield," he further said.

    A man asks, "If your spear is thrown at your shield, what then?"

    The armorer had no reply.

    By logic, both an unpenetrable shield and an all-piercing spear can not exist at the same time.

  2. that's one of the more interesting crossover vids between the two. I had another one where the Enterprise crew just fled. Funny as hell too with Picard taking shots of liquor while under fire. A shame star wars would probably lose because of technology from a long long time ago.

  3. thanks to bio-boosted dude, I got an idea. This was the end result of the experiment.

    well here is, and the steps in case anyone would like to experiment themselves.

    original image, and yes it's pretty tiny...

    Edit: Having trouble adding the rest, will be up in a minute.

    Edit update: Done! :)

    resized image, made black and white, then contrasted.

    moon/planet from videogame I plan to use as backdrop. I had already resized it for use with the image.

    doodle some blood, yeah it looks bad, until you...

    guy_moon_doodled.png

    ...use the zoom effect.

    guy_moon_effect.png

    decided to go back and ad an arm, to see if it would turn out good, seems empty with Sho having all that blood but no source of the blood. so I took am image of a toy of panadyne.

    panadyme_arm.png

    recombined it with the image before the blurr zoom, and added a little more badly doodled blood.

    guy_moon_arm_doodle.png

    and then re-zoomed blur effect. Yes it's still amateurish, but it gets the idea across. And this is indeed the end result.

  4. it makes sense. I also find it interesting that Louise is indeed so incredibly rich that She's one of the main financial backers to A-Laws. Her immediately family must of been very rich to begin with, with her family and extended family dead, she most of been the sole hair, or one of the last few alive and must of gotten a horribly large inheritance from them combined.

    Try vampire first, it's got a nice quality to it, though it's an unfinished and abandoned project. It's got some nice music, distinct animations, and style kinda like Dracula X.

  6. that's one of the problems. Not everything is clear in the bible, so some people try to read the words. Sometimes that's good, if you didn't read the words you wouldn't be able to understand some of the terms, or passing of events. For example, they mentioned. Cain's weapon when the killed Abel isn't a common word anymore, so I looked it up. Turns out it was a pole with a metal hooked end to pull apples and other fruits off a tree, and it could be turned into a makeshift weapon (and often was in ancient times) by hammering the metal at the end into a crude makeshift spear.

    On the other hand, reading the stories often is pretty clear, but then there are some points that just confuse you. In any case, most people come up with their own understanding of the bible that differs a bit from others. Heck, people used to use the bible as a justification for slavery, while others say it does otherwise. To each his own.

  7. lol you beat me too it. Nothing more creepy then two identical people cross dressing as each other... Also the Innovators have much more in common with the New-type's then shown before.

    So about the chicks arm? Transplant, cybernetics? It's really got a faint honeycomb pattern across the arm where it was severed.

  8. You are suggesting we are arguing over a being that may not exist. I guess you can call that a waste of time, but this topic does serve other ends. Even if God and religions are false, they still serve people by providing emotional security, as well goal.

    My ideas are opinions, true. Your beliefs opinions too Zeo. No point to either, maybe some merit to both. I see not a point, so giggity giggity goo! Let's continue on.

    God can take plenty away without free will. He could take away disease, take away hunger by having food grow everywhere, he can take away fear by teaching us about the unknown, and he can certainly help take away or lessen war by eliminating the above... and he can take away fictional characters like Jar Jar Binks who's sole goal is to torture star wars fans, what no go... who right, we're talking about God, not George Lucas, sorry... None of that has to do with free will, just management of resources (via control of the nature which he has) and knowledge involving understanding of things. There are some things that can't and shouldn't be taken away like Death, limit in living space, and the ability hate. But at the same time there are things he can do that would help prevent any suffering and conflicts, he just doesn't seem to concern himself with it, if not actually advocate some war according to some teachings.

    There is a difference between our parents and God, God is apparently around all the time, and a parent on earth eventually has to let go of that child. God never let goes, but neither does he act as a parent. Thus he's not fulfilling the role people claim him too.

    You said you can't reform people who don't want to reform. What I was arguing is that there are better ways to convince people to reform... such as through example. I have no problem with policing, but if God is out there, then he can certainly help prevent the need for it. Also, killing every human on the planet should not be compared with arresting people, if you were to compare, then we'd simply have to kill every criminal on the planet, then then we can start comparisons. What I wanted was god to not have to resort to mass killing, which goes against the teachings related to him. Okay, so let's just say it's not gods fault for them dying, because they ignored his messengers (who I must remind you could of been confused for loonies) or couldn't hear him, then how is it hat different from a cop who shot a suspect that he knew was deaf and unable to hurt the cop as well (since God himself wasn't in harm's way) to stop a crime? Was it completely justified since the cop could of apprehended the criminal and just shot him because it was easier? IF you ask me, God took the easy way out by killing, and killing usually is the easiest way of removing something unwanted.

    As for hearing God, many people have heard them and not had their heads explode. Then there is the possibility these people were madmen, but then again Abraham is the father of the religion, so his head should of blown up, and if not, then he could of faked the entire religion thus wasting our time here and now. I find the idea that God lacks the ability to talk to people without blowing their heads up, seriously, he has other means of doing it like the burning bush, so why not use the unplugged speakerphone? Besides, I don't recall any of the texts stating that you'd suffer from such a fate, I think it's just an absurd excuse. Now there is something written about why all people can't hear God, and that is a hardened heart. Which apparently, you gain from lack of faith, but there are and have been people with tons of faith, and not a peep has been heard...

    There's some merit to the Cain argument, he had possibly not of given his best crops to God. Some say he had instead given God his least viable grown patch. That is why he is displeased, Very Good Zeo. But you failed to answer the question in the former of that paragraph I wrote. God knew what Cain would of done, and thus new Cain would kill, so why allow that. He could of re-declared or reminded them of this. By not doing so he allowed a murder by factor oh his "all knowing" factor.

    Yes there are those people who can't be reformed, but that's a very few in number, and those that can't are considered to have a mental illness. So what happens to the rest of the human population that would've been reformed. Or did God consider everyone to sick to save, which I again have to point out, that he had the power to whisk away children... don't say he can't, the guy floods the earth. makes talking bush's, and created this known universe (or the very least this solar system.)

    I don't see your point in the words of people when it comes to the bible, the entire thing was written by people with the possible exception of the ten commandments. If you use that arguement, then almost any teachings within the Old Testament, New Testament, Koran, and the several other jewish literature are thus hogwash that we shouldn't bother with. To suggest the passages I chose shouldn't hold merit any more or any less then other passages, then it doesn't work for you either. Though I am in total agreement with you in not taking anything from the bible into heart since God himself never wrote a book for us to follow. I'm not even using the New Testament much because we can actually disprove what's written in it more then the old testament.

    If you really want ot detract and have fun with the texts of the bible and it's horrible teachings, then please follow this old letter I read a while back. :)

    Dr. Laura Schlessinger is a radio personality who dispenses advice to

    people who call in to her radio show. Recently, she said that, as an

    observant Orthodox Jew, homosexuality is an abomination according to

    Leviticus 18:22 and cannot be condoned under any circumstance. The

    following is an open letter to Dr. Laura penned by a east coast

    resident, which was posted on the Internet. It's funny, as well as

    informative:

    Dear Dr. Laura:

    Thank you for doing so much to educate people regarding God's Law. I

    have learned a great deal from your show, and try to share that

    knowledge with as many people as I can. When someone tries to defend

    the homosexual lifestyle, for example, I simply remind them that

    Leviticus 18:22 clearly states it to be an abomination. End of

    debate. I do need some advice from you, however, regarding some of

    the other specific laws and how to follow them:

    When I burn a bull on the altar as a sacrifice, I know it creates a

    pleasing odor for the Lord - Lev.1:9. The problem is my neighbors.

    They claim the odor is not pleasing to them. Should I smite them?

    I would like to sell my daughter into slavery, as sanctioned in

    Exodus 21:7. In this day and age, what do you think would be a fair

    price for her?

    I know that I am allowed no contact with a woman while she is in her

    period of menstrual uncleanliness - Lev.15:19- 24. The problem is,

    how do I tell? I have tried asking, but most women take offense.

    Lev. 25:44 states that I may indeed possess slaves, both male and

    female, provided they are purchased from neighboring nations. A

    friend of mine claims that this applies to Mexicans, but not

    Canadians. Can you clarify? Why can't I own Canadians?

    I have a neighbor who insists on working on the Sabbath. Exodus 35:2

    clearly states he should be put to death. Am I morally obligated to

    kill him myself?

    A friend of mine feels that even though eating shellfish is an

    abomination - Lev. 11:10, it is a lesser abomination than

    homosexuality. I don't agree. Can you settle this?

    Lev. 21:20 states that I may not approach the altar of God if I have

    a defect in my sight. I have to admit that I wear reading glasses.

    Does my vision have to be 20/20, or is there some wiggle room here?

    Most of my male friends get their hair trimmed, including the hair

    around their temples, even though this is expressly forbidden by Lev.

    19:27. How should they die?

    I know from Lev. 11:6-8 that touching the skin of a dead pig makes me

    unclean, but may I still play football if I wear gloves?

    My uncle has a farm. He violates Lev. 19:19 by planting two different

    crops in the same field, as does his wife by wearing garments made of

    two different kinds of thread (cotton/polyester blend). He also tends

    to curse and blaspheme a lot. Is it really necessary that we go to

    all the trouble of getting the whole town together to stone them? -

    Lev.24:10-16. Couldn't we just burn them to death at a private family

    affair like we do with people who sleep with their in-laws? (Lev.

    20:14)

    I know you have studied these things extensively, so I am confident

    you can help. Thank you again for reminding us that God's word is

    eternal and unchanging.

    Your devoted fan,

    Jim

  9. I understand what you're getting at. But it conflicts with what I know about parenting and my ideas of free will. And I'm narrow in my view for good reason, I've focusing on Gods flaws, and I have yet to hear a response that works for me, in this case logical reasoning. For a super being to know everything, everyone, to be capable of changing everything as he feels fit, he sure fails a lot. Besides, I like being the bad guy in this conversation because though I'm no Atheist, I may learn something.

    For one, if he is a parent who looks over his children as some claim, then why does he not with us as a parent. You could say he's with us spiritually, but that's not really parenting. Sending some messengers to earth who can be confused as insane goofballs doesn't help in his parenting either.

    Also killing your offspring isn't at all that nice, even if their souls will come back up to you, life is precious as he claims, and yet he takes it when he wants. Even if he gave us life, it was a gift, it doesn't means he has the right to take it back unnaturally. Also, his actions can be called genocide in some ways... So if he were before us, should we put him on trial, because if it were anyone else, he'd be on death row by now. I have yet to hear an answer that justifies his destruction of most life on earth instead of just killing humans alone, or killing humans in general (even if they were wicked). If he chose he could of just killed all the humans by sending down an angel, no animals would of had to suffer. And I again I bring about my point in him possibility dealing with humanity in reforming them with proper guidance with prophets, or simply whisking away all the children and having them taught kindness and respect by Noah.

    Let's say he's set up earth as a great work or experiment. Then how can we allow this world to get corrupted by his other creations outside our plain of existence. Angels and entities not meant to be here still came. As a being of with eyes unclouded, he sure didn't seem to mind allowing this. So he should be held accountable for not stopping what he could of stopped if he truly is the all mighty being unequaled. If he couldn't foresee this problem, then he really isn't almighty. He's claimed to be able to see the future too, so murder, floods, wickedness, Satan. All of that could of been prevented with some effort, and he wouldn't of had to interfere so much later. Seriously, he could of told Cain "Oh, and make sure your sacrifice is more then just some hard grown crops, since it won't appease me." Cain could of then found a better tribute for him, like trading for one of Abel's cattle for the sacrifice.

    All this talk about Free will, if he wanted to truly let us go about without worry of free will, he wouldn't of interfered with humanity in the first place, just observe us. Free will means being able to choose what you will do, good or evil, and even which gods you worship, and how you live. Yet there should be a limit, as to prevent chaos and respect each others free will. However, he constantly interferes throughout history when it comes to matters about worshipping him, but never about preventing us from harming other people of different faith, he's so jealous of other God's that he'd have his followers wage war to kill and then supplement those people. So even if those different people were at peace and not harming anyone, he would grow angry with them and hold the in contempt for not worshiping him.

    "You shall not make for yourself a carved image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth; you shall not bow down to them nor serve them. For I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God..."

    I also find God Pretty mean and almost taunting of humans in his tests. He asks Abraham to kill his son, beats up Israel, Paul and his persecutions at the hands of others, and so forth. Then he decided to test all Hebrew's with hundreds of years of invasions, war, pagan gods, and suffering... wait, he did that as a test to us all? Sounds like a pretty crappy test to me. He can look at our souls but that's not enough for him, he wants us to suffer a bit just to see if we are any good as his servants. So much for a God who accepts all.

    "I will no longer drive out before them any of the nations Joshua left when he died. I will use them to test Israel and see whether they will keep the way of the LORD and walk in it as their forefathers did"

    Hebrew's claim the Babylonians were his servants, come to punish the israelites and Jews for their lack of faith... So he handed the Jews to the hands of slave masters again to punish them. Harsh dude, God's a pretty harsh being.

    If he could look into men's hearts, wouldn't he know just how great there resolve is, and predict their actions as well? So why bother with the tests to begin with?
