While I enjoyed the interspecial relationships and moral dillemas inherent in the Speaker series, I am more drawn to political thrillers, so the Shadow series stood out more for me. I really enjoyed the use of Achilles as the villain, although I think he could have used some more flaws. It seems tha...

I first discovered EG by way of Audiobook at Air Cadet training in 2003. I heard the story from about the point where Ender is transferred into Rose de Nose's army. It immediately intrigued me, especially when he took command of the new Dragon Army because on my course I was in Dragonfly flight and ...

Well, I am anyway. Found out on my birthday that I am going to be a dad! At our first check up, the doctor told us we're due on or about September 7th. I'm super excited, and at the same time super scared s*****. Anyway, I'm sure it will be a fun journey full of ups and downs and flats too. I am hop...

OK, breaking in to the convo a little late. Anyway. The Thread is about tolerance of fundamentalist Christian groups. From what I've read by skimming over the pages, most people think that people should be somewhat accepting of other faiths regardless of what they themselves believe. So I ask this. ...

Ender fights to win completely, to obliterate the threat; Bean fights to kill, but only in pursuit of the prize. Bean knows exactly what he is after and does what is necessary to procure it, only displacing the obstacles directly in front of him. Ender sees the end but knows that the end is only com...

I am growing to hate the snow. Every time I look outside it is snowing. Crazy person. Snow is great. *scoff* Your avatar says "Canadian Pride." That just PROVES you're crazy. We're crazy? OK, well, once your country switches to centrigrade like the rest of the civilized world then you can...

SPOILER if you havent read Children of the Mind or Shadow of the Giant While EG in itself did not make me cry, I must admit that two books in the Ender series, and a few other OSC books have made me cry in places. Children of the Mind, I cried when Ender died (yes im a pussy, i dont need fifteen mes...

wigginboy

Thats true. But seriously, at least read the book before reviewing it. That's what I was getting at

wigginboy

Obviously nobody who has ever seen that page before has read EG. I checked out a little descrition of the MD device and they had it listed as a Moleclular Detachment device. So I did them a favour and edited it for them.

wigginboy

what if a candidate who was that moderate is just what your government needs. someone with a bleeding heart, but who drives a hard line. just where each is needed. a sort of balance. EDIT: Not saying my country's politicians are much better, in fact i think sometimes they are worse. just saying idea...

no ordained member of the catholic church clergy can marry. this applies to priests and bishops. but that only clarifies my point

wigginboy

Maybe the Church should allow priests to marry. They may change their stance when it's their own wives and daughters being raped. Last time I checked, 'The Church' who makes the rules, and 'The Church' who follows the rules were two different things. The Magisterium, the principal dogmatic authorit...

So after much deliberation and general not knowing what I want to do with my life, a year after graduation, I finally know what I want to dedicate my life to. I am going to be a Journalist. I have always liked writing and I am quite proficient at it, indicated by my mark in English 30. I have been t...

*Shakes fist at Benjamin Franklin the founding father, not the escapee on Prison Break.* Um..., since when does Ben Franklin have anything to do with Daylight Savings Time? As I recall, DST was invented in Canada by Sir Sandford Fleming as a way to keep the trains on time. I may be wrong, but if I ...

it was my three year a week ago, not as impressive an achievement as five years, thats UBER long, but still something kewl. I remember people here from when i joined, have seen some people drop off, and others join. i wont reach five years for another two years, and i expect more fun stuff to happen...

I characterize 'favourites' as books that I can read over and over again and feel like its a new and amazing book everytime. I feel this way with many of OSC's books, but the few that really stick out to me are Ender's Game (of course), Pastwatch (which im currently re-reading for the fourth time) a...

Acid is great, FL Studio uses an interpolation of it as a file saving feature when rendering to mp3 format.

wigginboy

JL, I have to say I agree with some parts of your. It was a good book, that I enjoyed from start to finish, but the issue of the characterizations came up quite alot when my mother (also a Card fan) and I discussed the book after i read it back in July. The characters that were developed at the begi...

Bean is a leader, but not the type of leader that should rule the world. However, should he ever have risen to power, he would likely be an efficient leader. He is the smartest person in the world at that time, and leagues more intelligent than the next person down. There is no way he would not know...

Eri, what program do you use? I use FL Professional Studio Version 6.0.8. I have made 21 songs so far, two in conjunction with my buddy (OG666). Some of them are not so good, and some of them kick ass, and some of them are just meh. I like the program though, because it is easy to use and the effect...

Regardless of whether God created us or not, or even if he exists, we must look at this: we were ALL created with free will, and it is with this gift that we create good and evil. Just as Pandora was given a box containing all the good and evil of mankind, so have we, in reality, been given the gift...

From my Biology 30 Studies, which I'm writing the diploma for today, the technique of cutting genes out using restriction enzymes and reinserting them elsewhere using ligase enzymes is as yes restricted to plants, as in genetically engineered vegetables in supermarkets.

actually, luminousnerd, didn't you say in the marriage thread that you were "right" even though you didn't have any evidence? And then you said that -^. Crazy. They are out of context. If it is pure opinion, and it cannot be proved as fact one way or another, then my belief is always righ...

wigginboy

No, it cannot feel what is happening to it if is aborted. Funny thing to say after claiming that it is preposterous to state something that can't be proved. It might be proven that it cannot feel the physical pain, but it is not proven that it does not feel emotional pain. However, all of this is b...

I'm not talking about biologically alive, which seems evident to me. The topic is a question of whether certain things HAVE SOULS. That is the definition of alive that I have assumed we were discussing. I do not believe that it has ever been proven that the human body carries a 'soul.' Furthermore,...

Well aren't you a genious. Now that you're done citing scientific s*** about a word that has more than one meaning, understand that there is indeed more than one meaning. Actually I am a genius, with an IQ of 180. I didnt cite the scientific **** from anywhere, it is what I know from my studies in ...

I believe the consensus is that animals are not as developed as humans, and are thus inferior. By no means are animals, plants and insects abiotic. They have just as much life as humans and contribute actively to the biogeochemical cycles that drive our natural world, through carbon fixation, cellul...
