OK, I am no mathematician, by any means at all. I just happened to be reading Revelation this morning, for lack of anything better to read, and I came across a curiousity in the numbers mentioned there. The numbers 144000 and 666 are referenced most frequently in this book. I got the bright idea to ...

OK, girls taking pregnancy oaths and teachers burning crosses in arms are not light items, but I feel particularly affected by the Kindergarten issue. Having been diagnosed with Asperger's when I was 11, I know what this child must have felt when he was singled out by the teacher and the entire clas...

you kids really need to read more Ender books, and that means all of them, like the forewords, afterwords and acknowledgements. Plus read OSC's other books, some of them explain things in others. A lot of the themes are repeated in a lot of his books.

How come it doesnt work?

I voted pro-life because that is what I believe. I did not vote for anyone else so I don't expect anyone else to have to believe the same thing. I believe that the child growing right now in my fiancee's womb is a life and has been since conception, since it was just two cells that met and became on...

(Someone may have said this already, but I didn't look at the other comments...so yeah) I believe that God could use evolution as a creation of sorts. It makes us feel more related to the creatured around us, like we have a place and we are part of earth. The reason he didn't put it in the bible is...

OK, it's easy to say something like this, I mean, the internet is abound with conspiracy theories. What I want to know is what do you base this assumption on? Do you have evidence that bin Laden was paid off by the US Government? And for what? What did bin Laden do that he would receive a reward fro...

I still maintain that the 'net existed when EG was written, and it looked a lot more like EG had it than it does today, making these predictions less impressive. But I get the feeling people are going to get tired of me saying that really fast... Well, technically yes, there was a computer network ...

Wow, this week can not get anymore hectic. I am only writing this down (or rather, typing) because I need to know what I have to do and for some reaosn typing it is easier than writing a list. 1) Pack the rest of the house 2) Call Shaw to transfer my phone and net subscription to my new address 3) C...

OK. The deal with POT. A lot of people have posted their views for and against it. No one is right, but a lot of you are wrong. There is no conclusive proof that pot KILLS braincells and the same can be said for Luminousnerd's assertion that it regrows them. The site lum cited explained that it is n...

I have met no one on the board. My Canadian address is just not really conducive to meeting people who are primarily based in the US. I know there are Canadian users like EL and JL and Zeroguy, but I live in Alberta and they elsewhere and we arent that good of friends. The onlyone who was ever from ...

Hey Bob. I don't come in here much, if at all really. I just needed to vent a little. So here it is. After looking for what seemed like forever for a place where the rent is a little more affordable than where were are now, we found the perfect place. Two bedrooms, huge kitchen, huge living room, al...

Aside from working most of the summer, I get a small vacation to Red Deer to attend my brother's wedding where my younger brother and I are ushers. (fun) Then in early September, or late August if it's anything like I was, baby should arrive. And for the rest of the year its the joy of parenting for...

wigginboy, sorry if you have posted it and I just happened to miss it, I noticed your avatar and wondered: do you know the sex of your baby now? Actually, no. Apparently the technician forgot to record the sex. The doctor was even quite bewildered. That's alright with us though. I didn't really wan...

Thats obviously the most adorable baby silhouette ever.

In the end, its really just a question of personal morals and values. Personally, I feel that premarital sex is not a phrase in my vocabulary. I do not feel marriage is necessary at all in this world. Why do you need a piece of paper and a set of guidelines to tell you you're married. A marriage is ...

Having never read the books or even watched the first movie, I watched this one with my wife's family last night and I found it entertaining. I was actually laughing at a lot of parts just to to the childishness of the scenes but that's just how I watch movies. I thought, however, that the plot move...

They needed and sought out children because children's minds are constantly changing, adapting to situations. The mind is not fully grown yet at the age that Ender was first recruited. Thus, in a full course of training at Battle School, their minds will be filled only with the information needed fo...

Um... am I the only person who doesn't really care for the cover art? My opinion is if a book has fanciful cover art, that means the publisher thought it couldn't sell on its own merits. All of my favorite books have nondescript cover art that only makes any kind of sense once you have actually rea...

wigginboy

You know DP, you have a point there. I've always felt that the art on the Ender books sucks. It shows absolutely nothing about what the book is about. I mean, the art for most of the Shadow books was a silhouette of a tiny Bean, looking like he was wearing pajamas. That doesn't really draw me into t...

I believe there MAY be a God. I don't believe there HAS TO BE a God and I don't believe there CAN'T BE a God. I believe in the possibility of a God. When you ask why I don't believe in the idea as a whole, I only have this answer: I believe there MAy or MAY NOT be a God as defined, as loosely as is ...

How did you find this site? I had just read Speaker and was hooked on the idea of philotic physics so i checked it out online and ran into the last incarnation of this site. That was 5 years ago What novel turned you on to the Bean/Enderverse? Honestly, it wasn't even a novel per se. I was on an Ai...

Lying. Bearing False Witness. If I was a religious man I would say that in light of all these lies about, we are about to be wiped from the Earth. Exodus records "Thou Shalt Not Bear False Witness Against Thy Neighbour," meaning that we are not to tell stories we know to be false. This is ...

Shadow-era Peter: I'd have to agree with the earlier poster who said Hayden Christensen, as seen in the movie Shattered Glass: Whoa whoa whoa. Do we really want Young Vader to be Peter Wiggin? Aside from that, not way, the guy looks too nerdy. Peter got where he is not because of nerdiness, but bec...

Silly Lethbridge person.

Actually I'm from Red Deer. That doesnt matter though. I never slept there either.

**spoiler warning!!!** I have read Treason four times now. I enjoy this novel very much. While it does not carry the same quality that, say, the Enderverse books carry, I would have to say this was the most enjoyable OSC book I have read. I love the character of Lanik and think that the book carries...

OK, i just checked out the member list. We have about 2400 members and the vast majority of these members haven't ever posted. Most of these members have been here since early 2007 or earlier. if we have a small post count or a lack of people posting it is because people join the site and then never...

OK. I do not know whether this would be better suited for Re+MP or for Milagre, but I decided since Milagre's tag-line said 'anything under the sun" i would post here. I see a lot about the American presidential race and know very little about it. I keep up with the broadest of news from the US...

I dont know what you guys are all pissed about? its not like he wrote it to be a sequel or a new book. Its just a novelette that he put together for Christmas. Fan Fiction it might be, but who do you think is his biggest fan? Probably himself. After all, who reaps the benefits more than him? Maybe h...

wigginboy

I finished the book in about an hour a few days before Christmas. I did not expect a story of novel proportions, I expected a good story about Battle School and the life that was experienced there. I think the use of religion and the way that, even at the age of most of the Battle Schoolers, religio...

Another Voyager? So that the crew of the USS Enterprise can find it near the end of the 23rd Century and think its V'GerII, some other alien spacecraft different from the one they encountered in ST:TMP and it will fudge everything up until they find it and enter it (stupidly) and find its really fil...
