Nice thread idea... Dear you, I have no idea how you may really feel, but I love you. ~!~ Dear you(s), I know you don't care, you never did, and that's fine with me. I'll be gone soon enough; eight years isn't as long as you may think. I'll see you all one day in the next world, and we'll discuss wh...

Aesculapius

Sarcasm is lost on you, eh?

Oh, I got the sarcasm all right, but I might as well use what's said. It helps get people talking.

Aesculapius

It happened in the book it can happen in real life.. Finally, I'm glad someone besides me is saying that, though that's different from what you were saying earlier. Nonetheless, thank you. Now, hypothetically speaking, what do you think the nations of the world (today) would do if we actually had a...

Aesculapius

Very good, I'm glad we're getting somewhere. ^__^ Now, let's expand on the crayon idea and try to come up with something that the UN officials will actually accept. Something like the crayons, yet something that will not make them look like five-year-olds. Personally though, I really like that idea....

Aesculapius

I always seem to get "occur" wrong, and "success" too.....

Aesculapius

Instead of focusing on why we can't have world unity or no more war, how about we start to focus on what can be done, at the moment, to make the world a "better" place. How can we start to get rid of poverty? Put an end to genocide? Try to stop terrorism? We can't just leave things up to e...

Aesculapius

Don't the movie and game usually come out near the same time?

Anyway, what should we look forward to the most? Seeing Ender's Game come to life would be amazing. Yet playing the game, you'd actually be able to experience it, sorta.

Aesculapius

I didn't read the stuff in the link, but if what you're saying is true, I can't wait to see it come to life. That would be great.

Aesculapius

I've heard of the Ender's Game comics that are under development.
Here's the preview link that a friend of mine gave me:

Aesculapius

I know World Peace is a good idea but its also really really cliche. I think there would be more cons than pros If that's true, why has the notion of world peace been around for so long? World peace is like a utopian world. It's the "ideal", right? So many people throughout history have w...

Aesculapius

Yeah, I greatly agree with you. That's one of the main reason's I love the Enderverse. The refernces OSC makes to the real world is amazing and you get another view of the events that occuring around us. With more people being aware and giving more support I think the soldiers who feel "tricked...

Aesculapius

Ender in Exile sounds very interesting, I'm getting the book this weekend and can't wait to read it ^__^

Aesculapius

Those are exactly the reason's why I want people to talk. No one person has all the right ideas/methods to solve all of the worlds problems. I mainly want to encourage talk about this. I'm not saying that I'm completely right, but I'd like more and more people to start to talk about this. If not abo...

Aesculapius

Okay, fine. It's true that the people for willing for war are the most likely to get their way with things. However, the only reason that the peaceful people get overpowered is because they unwilling to fight about it, correct? Because they don't have the "drive" to do what they want to do...

Nov 16th Please

Aesculapius

Everybody doesn't want that; everybody won't agree to it. I don't think your "everybody" counts as majority. As much as humans love war, they also want peace. I know just how much nationalism means to everyone and I don't want it to be dissolved. Nationalism can still exist even in a worl...

Aesculapius

Hmm, first time I've heard that. Very nice. You may right in saying that not everyone thinks a world government is a good idea, but everyone wants unity (maybe not world unity , but unity), so the idea is there. If they can see that world unity can work, they will agree on it. And in order for it to...

Aesculapius

The comments posted above prove that the way think about peace is very different from way we should think about peace. All of you seem to suggest that society can't achieve peace, and that it's like a far off world, running farther away the more we try to reach it. The only way we can make world uni...

Aesculapius

I meant to mainly use the Enderverse as an example of what can happen and as a reference for future discussions that may occur here.

Aesculapius

Of course it's fiction, but that doesn't mean that something can be done in the real world to help make things get better.

And what does it mean to agress?[/i]

i'm not so sure what you meant about that...

Aesculapius

[YES IT'S LONG, BUT WORTH THE READ. PLEASE TRY TO UNDERSTAND WHAT I'M SAYING, IT'S NECESSARY] I think Iâ€™m right to believe that the majority of everyone on this forum knows what the FPE is and what it stands for/represents. The FPE is the name of the campaign that Peter Wiggin uses to unite the w...

Aesculapius

I've always beleive Hell to be the place of complete eternity, where the souls cannot come back to visit the living, to "haunt" them, or, as many such as I believe, be reincarnated as another being. Though, that's only my opinion if there is no God. If there is a God, well, then, I think H...

Aesculapius

Isn't the only reason why dead bodies weigh less than when they were alive is because the bodies start to whither away and decompose. Of course, that would be after a considerable amount of time, so then: attribute any loss of mass at death to something mundane like gases escaping. I'd have to agree...

Aesculapius

Why? What evidence do you have? I'm not being sarcastic, I really want to know. Why? I cant say I have any solid evidence that I believe in. And, it's not as though I believe in it completely...I mean, the science nerd part in me is against believing it, so I guess it's more so I want to believe in...

Aesculapius

Well, I'm glad to know I don't have to believe that little experiment anymore....I mean, it was quite odd to hear about that. Discussing whether or not our souls retain our outward differences....well, I think, when the soul is reincarnated, it would inhabit a bewly born babe, either choose that par...

Aesculapius

Plus, not knowing how much pain you are going to be in before you die is a big clincher. If I get stabbed in the abdomen, how much pain will I feel until I die? I never thought about it that way before, but that does make sense; the amount of pain a person would feel during the time between getting...

Aesculapius

So, I've been pondering about this for a while.........well it popped up in my head every once in a while over the past year or so... What is "death" ? Literature often personifies it and portrays it as the grim reaper. But that's usually in classical fiction. We've been taught, since we w...

Aesculapius

I've heard from random people in my life that the only reason why people are buying Hybrid cars is because of the high gas prices (which are thankfully returning to 'normal'). Meaning that since the gas prices are indeed decreasing again, people will stop buying Hybrid cars. What do you think? In a ...

Aesculapius

I thought it was all about making hafl-coherent sounds. Like saying the words, but not really saying it. Kinda like how on MSN we say things " R,U, PPL, G2G" things like that.

Making sounds, but not saying the actual words.......

Or am I wrong?

Aesculapius

I'm pretty sure your question is a result of reading the first page of this thread and Jeebsy's post in particular. Yes, I was reading off that post in particular, but I didn't mean any offense by what I said; I guess I was just confused. I agree with you as well on what type of character Petra sho...

Aesculapius

Has anyone considered the fact that if they choose to make Petra more feministic, that'll completely ruin her role? I mean, have a look at Hermione from Harry Potter....I have nothing against her character, or the actress herself, but as the movies have progressed, the only role she acts out is of a...

Aesculapius

I very much agree with you; that would be great for Ender's Game. Usually, when books are being made into movies, they have to condense everything and that leaves out so many important parts (Eragon, for example).... However, since it's a new concept, it'll likely be very expensive, right? I'm not s...
