The Eternal Thread - Part #00000026

I'm inching towards 10 Billion. >.>;

Closing in on 2 billion.

Do you ever get the feeling that someone on here is someone you know from RL, and that they know who you are, but you don't know that its them?

Did that even make sense?

It makes sense. Never happened to me though.
Not until now.

Meh. I'm not suicidal.

Thats always good.

Mm. Preferable.
How's you, Horse?

[The Jahistic Unified Republic]

It does. My friends whom I know in real do not use NSG or any of the forums.

Yeah, how do you know?

I searched their names and nothing popped up.
That and they hate forum communities.

[Raziac]

^Yeah, but forums have a tendency to give people sudden urges to post.
(In sagely voice)
AND THUS, THE ETERNAL CHAT THREAD WAS BORN!

Did that even make sense?

It made sense, but the people I know in RL don't strike me as they would be here.

[Raziac]

Because. (I will type out a sentence-one word at a time. Be patient.)

[Akka-chan]

OH hum.

[The Jahistic Unified Republic]

OH hum.

hum ho.

[Erinkita]

OH hum.

hum ho.

Is the sickle gonna slice up the cross?

[The Jahistic Unified Republic]

hum ho.

Is the sickle gonna slice up the cross?

No. I thought it would better represent my nation than the traditional hammer and sickle.

[Erinkita]

No. I thought it would better represent my nation than the traditional hammer and sickle.

Cool. A cross is almost as good a blunt instrument as a hammer, especially if it's one of those big heavy ones.

. Ever wonder if the sickle is cutting the hammer or is the hammer about to pound the sickle?

I figure both. The hammer thinks it has the sickle at its mercy, but doesn't see the sickle rearing up behind it.

So much for "workers of the world unite". The farmers and the industrialists obviously don't get along.

As symbolic representations of agricultural and industrial workers go, I've always preferred the Scarecrow and the Tin Woodsman.

Ok, so I'm not the only one who drew that connection.

No, not at all. If you squint at it, that book is full of 1900s social parallels.

I guess I would know that if I read it today.

I found so many biblical references in Star Wars, holy fuck.

Keep in mind the controversy over the proposed silver standard. That's the centre of the allegory, if there is one and everyone's not just reading too much into it.

Really? That's surprising to me. I noticed them all over the place in The Matrix, but not Star Wars.

Episode III:
Anakin sells his soul to Palpatine for power, becomes an Anti-Christ figure.
Palpatine is Satan, obviously, leading him to evil with promises of love and eternal life.
Anakin is corrupted by what the Jedi sees as "sin" (falling in love, corruption by fear)
The Bible constantly repeats that fear of loss can hinder a Christian's faith.

Another alternate thing is, think of Anakin/Vader as God, the old testament God. Hateful and killing anything to destroy what he see's as evil. And think of Luke Skywalker as Jesus, leading God to become more forgiving and ultimately forgiving the Rebels and killing Satan once and for all.

I'm sure theres more, but I need to watch it again.

Hmm... seems a little shaky to me. There are lots of stories that have a hero becoming evil through temptation.
Vader didn't seem to think the Rebellion or any of his other targets were evil. I don't remember him ever voicing a moral opinion. He seems more nihilistic to me tbh.
Luke as Jesus doesn't really work for me because he didn't redeem the rebels for anything. They didn't need to be forgiven. He also never died and resurrected, even symbollically. It was more of a classic hero's journey than a Christ metaphor.

Sound awful in my opinion. Are NYC NSers safe?

I can agree that the matrix is filled with them. At the very least, admit that Darth Maul is the scariest motherfucker alive
