Talking about 300 tho, i just watched it again because i wanted to, and also because i havent seen it since the begging of the year and i often watch the films i enjoy alot (saw LOTR like 10 times :p). this time i really looked out for the storyline as well as the action and the story isnt bad you know...its a pretty well rounded film with action and plot, even if it is altered slightly.

I can't change your signature. That was an admin. Moderators do not have that kind of power, and even if we did, we would be in no position to abuse it.

I have no ill feelings against you, and obviously you took what I said the wrong way. By no means should you start questioning my ability to moderate a forum, nor should you start slagging me personally, just because you are upset. I'm arguing about something with you, and if you're going to insult me, AT LEAST BRING SOME FACTS TO THE TABLE along side them. I don't mind being insulted, but when you don't have anything to show for it, it just pisses me off.

My comment about communism being above you is 100% true. Anyone who uses the term 'communist' in a derogatory manner does NOT understand how the communist system works. It's unfortunate that propaganda has to spoil an opportunity for people to learn in an unbiased way about a legitimate philosophy. I don't pretend to be an advocate of communism. In the past, communist leaders (along with many other dictators) have brought great destruction to the world. This is NOT part of the communist manifesto, infact, military is nonexistant in a real communist society. Can such a society exist? I don't think so, because there will always be some other country out there to take advantage of it.

Communism is a utopia. A perfect society. I don't think it will ever be atainable (unless people can somehow rise above the corruption and greed that is naturally programmed into every person). It's not feasable, but it is still a proposed ideaology, and unlike fascism, the end goal isn't power and land and petty greedy things, the end is a perfect society, where no one has anything to fear, or to worry about. Everyone is taken care of, and everyone works for the good of the state in order to help make EVERYONE better off.

This sounds like the most selfless society ever concieved, a far cry from the world around us today, and does that really sound like something with evil intentions? Does making the common good your #1 priority make you an evil person?

I don't think so, but thanks to the last century, most of the western world does.

I was just angry that Communism was being thrown around in the wrong light. I did not mean that as a serious insult, nor did I intend it to be a slight against your intelligence, I merely stated that from what you have shown me here, you don't seem to understand the Communist system of government very well.

How this turned into a flame war and a personal bashing contest while I was away is beyond me.

I personally like the movie 300, I don't think the Communist system is evil, I don't think that The Last Istari is a moron, and I don't see how the topic went from discussing the movie 300 to questioning my capabilities as a moderator.

/Rantoff.

Can we finally get back on topic now?

I see, well then I apologize for my immature behavior, I hope he can put this behind us.

Off topic: Mods can't even edit people's profile? Wow, they literally have no power do they? Can they even lock threads?

And as for Communism

I'm sorry, I just couldn't resist ( ^ I really don't mean that, but it just popped up to me and I had to do it.)

Uh-huh, then how come he screwed with my sig and got rid of the third quote when it was just my opinion?

Good apology, WTG The Last Istari!

I can edit many, many things, however, I did NOT edit your signature:
Ralle ALSO found it absurdly simple to disable the scroll feature.

Excess signature file content is now just circumcised! [SNIP]
The Chieftain's new vBulletin script edited it auto-magically!

I believe Mods can close threads.

Please never bring that up again. Ever. That was extremely off-topic, especially considering that
  • The actual topic is supposed to be about the movie 300.
  • The hijacked topic was about communism, not discrimination.
  • The thread you are quoting has absolutely nothing to do with any of the previous.
After brad.dude03 spent all that time explaining why the (true) communism is so great, you go and do this. Off-topic, bringing back old demons, handing a medkit to the one brad.dude03 just killed.

Anyways, I can't wait for 300 to come out on DVD so that I can see it.

Once it comes out on DVD then I'll give it a watch, as we rarely go to theaters.

Last time I was at a theater was for Revenge of the Sith.

If the sig wouldn't cut me off, I would add that in.

Yes, the dvd release is going to be huge. As offtopic as that quote was, I couldn't help but smile :p

Mods can do plenty of things in their own assigned forums. Since I am not an off topic moderator, I don't have much power over here, but in the Writing and Sound sections, I can close, merge, delete, and sticky threads. And I can do about the same to individual posts as well.

Regardless, 300 is a great movie, and anyone who thinks otherwise, bring some facts to the table, and we'll send you back a 300 fan :grin:

Ahhh the Mandalorians, they're hard as hell to kill in Star Wars: Empire at War: Forces of corruption. It's a shame Jango died though. (If you think the game's name is long, I've got an even longer one.)

Explosions=amazing, Guns=Fricken amazing, Swords and Other sharp objects= Sharp and amazing, people dying= very good, Senseless fighting= Not so senseless and amazing, Slow motion= Amazing like the Matrix.
Thats how my brain works and maybe why im not so good in school from wathcing all of this stuff. But yet even though 300 has all of these things i still dont like it.
