    And that scene was seriously unnecessary and out of place... it could have easily been removed without the plot being altered in the slightest...

    Nudity and Implied Material is a flaw... especially in shows targeted to the young generation.

      That is true, but sex sells. Don't you think that if one girl saw it and told her friends that she saw Keanu Reeves bare butt, that at least ONE friend would go see it BECAUSE OF THAT?

      Sex sells and as pathetic as it might be, producers use that to their advantage.

          Enoch dug this subject from the grAVE

          I think that the fight scenes sre what attract most guys to the movies. I'm sure that this is already known but I see my freinds and I going to go see some of the most violent movies and the truth is that I enjoy them. :idea:

              yeah. I trust some, Like GL here and Agatio. But people I've met in life, well, I trust GOD and i trust Jesus and all, well, srry for the religous reference. But anyways, I also trust my brother.

                You don't need to be sorry just because you mention religion, ya know. If you say "Science is pointless," then that's not allowed. But otherwise, religion talk is fine. Same goes for the other side.

                Trust? I don't trust anybody, because nobody is trustful. I only trust trustful people.

                  Yes, MW, that really rolls of the tongue :unsure:

                  What I meant was people who are not willing to trust in the first place... I... all throughout my life, I have trusted people. Some have been kind, others have taken advantage...

                  But that doesn't mean all people are bad. I still lend my items, help others, donate... I mean...

                    I live out in the country so I don't have to worry about trusting people :) Too far away from all that.

                      Trust eh? I trus most people from this forum because I see no evidence why not to. As for real life I guess I am a little too trusting at first towards people, which leaves me open to be betrayed, but then If I do get betrayed, I will fight back.

                          I suppose there's different levels of trust. I trust my closest friends the most, and even some of them are untrustworthy. When I first meet people I know whether i'm going to get on with them or not. I think I get on with and can trust everybody I know from forums.

                            Except for people like darksun, stfuwierdo's and platinum sun, I would not trust those users.

                              I read a few of Darksun's posts, and I can see what you guys mean. Even if he was here....I wouldn't trust him.

                                I think that trust is something that should be well observed. If I don't trust someone, then I will still most likely hang-out with them but I wouldn't be to relient or giving with them.

                                I feel that people that are untrustworthy should actualy be kept closer then trustworthy people. Just so I can keep my eye on them, in case they try something sneeky.

                                  I totally agree...
                                  People can be so sneeky...Anybody can do somebody and you wouldn't notice...
                                  That includes, talking behind someones back, sticking a whoopey cusion before they sit and so on...
                                  And when you think they did it they don't admit to it...total dishonesty...

                                      When people talk about you behind your back, it annoys me. That's why I just nod my head or brush it off. The people who talk about you behind your back are the kinds who only want attention themselves, and if they wanna spazz, then what do I care.

                                        Talking behind other people's backs is cowardly because they are too afraid to say it in your face...so I really don't care if people talk behind my backs, I know the people that do that are cowards...

                                            Dousn't everything in the world technially do that.

                                            The government makes you conform to their ideas,
                                            as well as religion.

                                              Exactly, you have now officially discovered two things I hate, Government, and deffinately religion.

                                                I do hope you aren't a supporter of anarchy. Without our gov't, you'd probably be dead. You don't have to agree with everything, but some fundamentals shouldn't be thrown aside.

                                                  Not just gov't and religion but others as well.

                                                  Anything with rules and guidlines makes you conform to some set of standard ideas. Wether it be school or even the internet. The olden days and the future. You can never escape it.

                                                    You can't deny that rules are good though. Like, if your mom didn't say that rule about "no running around with scissors," and you'd done it, you could trip and *squelch*

                                                    Or if there wasn't a law against murder, someone could just kill another person because they pissed 'em off, and no one would bother. He could be one of those sick serial killers, and he couldn't be stopped.

                                                        Well, then That means Religion, Games, Government, Street signs, dictionaries, encyclodedias, and athiesm. You say conforming ideas is a flaw, then Athiesm is a flaw(which I do believe), because athiest try to bring others to be athiests, like at my school. Everyting is conforming.

                                                          Actually, things such as games don't always conform, they state an opinion, opinion is good, forcing someone to follow your opinion when they have a different opinion, is just b*tchin.

                                                            Anyways, what you are doing right now is trying to make others conform to your ideas. That's all it is, realy.

                                                                          Now imagine taking those shows away...Kids would be crying...sad...and they can't escape from reality if that had happened...

And since science is getting close to cures for cancers and other diseases, expect the number of deaths to decrease and births increase.

Phobia's are extreme fears. My fear of GOD is not a bad fear, it's fearing that he can do something to me that can help or punish, a good fear.

Erm... The belief of something that is widely known without proof we can see every day is a world flaw!

Ruins, Towns, historical documents, while evolution only has skeletons and fossils and other scientific stuff. anyways, the bible can be seen everyday, can all those fossils and bones be seen everyday? nope, locked away d00ds.

The universe is the machinations of God. Therefore, physics is the study of the work of God. Creationism attempts to prove that data obtained through the scientific method is incorrect. This, in turn, must mean that the scientific method is incorrect. Physics studies the universe with the scientific method. Therefore, Creationism denies the work of God.

And there's evidence in the Bible that supports evolution.

Do you not understand that people can believe in the evolution way, but still not entirely doubt the existeance of god? :)

They're meant to represent God, but the do the opposite. If God was to prove his existence to me tomorrow, I still wouldn't even consider going to church :). Much of what the church does/has done is completely against what I think God would want his representitives to do...

Then how many of these must have occured to cause the millions of different animals on the planet. And how do you have evolution from plants?!

                                                                                                                                                                                                                  Evolution is an extremely slow process. That's what people don't get. They think that by comparing the human to the ape, and seeing how different they are, they prove evolution isn't possible. But it takes millions upon millions of years. And you're also mixing up the evolution process. We didn't evolve from plants. Plants grew via a different path. It's all about the climate and geography that decides how organisms adapt.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                  As well, if you are wondering why there are still apes around, it is because the apes that do exist still live in the jungles and rain forests. The reason we came around (in theory) is that a group of apes ventured from the jungle into what would now be known as the African Savahna plains. Because of certain needs that rose, the apes began to walk on their back legs, grow opposable thumbs, and their brains became more complex.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                  And again, there is evidence of evolution provided in the Bible, Genesis specifically. The Hebrew word that is translated to days would be translated better to an extended period of time. And seeing as God would see a day as a blink of an eye, then it would make more sense for the translation to read an age.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                  Oh yeah, and your appendix is also evidence of evolution. When humans still lived off of plant life rather than cooked meat and self-grown fruit, we needed our appendixes to process the plants properly or something like that. But now that humans don't live off of natural plant life, the appendix became useless. The reason it isn't gone is because there wasn't a need to rid of it, as the appendix wasn't a disadvantage in any way.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                    Look around you, look at all the "beutiful" things in the world, the miracles, how can it all be an accident, and the chances of evolution being true and actually are something like 1000000000:1, very low, considering you have to have the right atmosphere, mineral combinations, food supplies, everything has to be right for it to work the way it does, how can it be chance, an accident?

                                                                                                                                                                                                                    As easier way to explain it is that a higher power created it, me, I belive it was God. I can respect most other religion (ex. muslims/islam) but I thnk evolution is the biggest load of crap mankind has ever created.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                          Agaito, chances aren't a googleplex to one. There is only a few things for life to come into existence: A nice big dustball that would eventually condense, which would make a planet with an active core, active volcanoes, and solid surface. That's all that was needed for the Earth. Then it was just a waiting game until a couple of molecules came together.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                          As well, there are actually no set requirements for life for all we know. We've barely explored the planets on our own solar system, so how should we know that lifeforms wouldn't be able to survive on a planet bombarded with radiation? (****roaches anyone?)

                                                                                                                                                                                                                          All we know for sure is that ONE of the standards for the existence of life is the standards set here on Earth. Otherwise, we don't know it all. Which is also why people choose to just create a God, because it's the easier way to explain it. It doesn't require logic, or reason. You can just say that there is a supreme being. I'm not saying there isn't a God. I just believe that God didn't wave his hand and suddenly we appearead. I believe he followed his own guidelines, the physics he set in the Universe, so that things would make sense. With no logic, it would be chaos.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                          Another point I was hinting at is how SHORT our lives would be compared to him. If he's on such a massive scale (think macro and micro physics), then the evolutionary process WOULD seem just like a day.

Some theorists have produced several similar ideas, since there is prrof of evolution, but no proof that god does not exist. :D

                                                                                                                                                                                                                            On evolution, there is a well known case of evolution that im sure some of you have heard. There was a white moth or something that lived in the bushland in one area. They were white, becaue it allowed them to blend in with the plants and not get eaten by birds. Now, this area became industralized (like everywhere else, another world flaw) and the trees were covered in soot. The white moths were now being picked off by the birds. SOmewhere along the line a mutation in the genes of one moth lead to it producing black offspring. Normally, a black one would have died off, but in this case, it was harder for the birds to see so it was not eaten. The black moth went on to breed, producing more black moths. All the while, the white ones dies off and walla! In a few short years we a different type of moth.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                            It all comes down to natural selection people :).

                                                                                                                                                                                                                            Existence must be the worlds biggest flaw. If the world didn't exist, there would be no flaws :).

                                                                                                                                                                                                                            Holywood, American government, and mankind in general are the worlds biggest flaws. Oh, and classes. THe rift between the rich and poor is growing, and the middle class is being pulled to either end. Eventually we will have the very poor people, with no chance to go up in class, and the rich, self centered snobs with all their money. Everything repeats itself.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                            This means that time is a world flaw. Without time, nothing can become permanent, and the effects of one action will not echo for eternity :).

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    At a different perspective, perhaps it's our very minds- whether you believe in God or not, the fact is, we exist, and we have to live our lives fully- this challenge is met by our emotions and will, and how we choose to live it and the decisions we make are all a reaction, in one way or another, to the natural instinct of survival.

No one was created by themselves, their must be this high being that created us.

I believe in god and will not allow someone to convince me otherwise, but if they have a different opinion, i accept that, and would not think any less of them, unlike a lot of people i know *sighs*

Even if they believe in roughly the same thing ^_^. The christian chirch has done this many times, which is one reason why I think the church is utter bs. I'm not saying christianity is bs (though the 'christian extremeists' annoy me endlessly ;)), and i'm not saying god is utter bs.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            Those of you who think evolution is a load of crap really make no sense at all. Evolution is so logical it's almost amasing. I point you to this:

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            Quote

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            Quite possibly, evolution created man and all the animals, but God set it all into motion, and manipulated the result . Some theorists have produced several similar ideas, since there is proof of evolution, but no proof that god does not exist.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            Perhaps the bible is flawed, but that doesn't mean god doesn't esist. We could prove tomorrow that the bible is a lie, but that doesn't proive that God doesn't exist. It only proves that the bible is an elaborate retelling of past events, with possible truths hidden in with the rest.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            I really hope nobody took offence at that, since it's not meant to diss anything. I'm just trying to prove that nobody should oppose what other people believe, and claim that it is utter crap because they believe otherwise :D.

I'm just reffering to people who absolutely refuse to accept other beliefs, and claim that everyone should be christian or they will go to hell. There are people like that you know :\. Not really 'extremists', but then, that depends on the context...

DO NOT flame people because of their religion :P. You may not believe in God, but have some respect for others and their beliefs. I hate it when people claim that evolution (and other scientific theorys) is crap because it doesn't agree with their religion, but I hate it even more when people like you claim that God is a load of crap. :(

It's a belief. Just as there are scientific explanations for everything, God is what people (Christians, Muslims, Jews...) are willing to believe in.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              But Science can only go so far, no? Eventually, a limit will be reached ("before the creation", if you know what I mean): the source of existance, why we are all breathing and right now reading this. After that, anything may seem plausible (to a degree, of course).

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              Despite the fact that I believe in God, I respect your opinions and beliefs.

I respect whatever religon that you believe in, cause everybody has opinions, but atheistism has more freedom. In fact, just for fun, I will occasionally perform that prayer from FFX before I do PE at school.

I just don't care either way.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      Ah yes, The Bible is not necessarily gods word. he did not record everything himself, it is a translation of gods word, so to speak, written by humans, and humans are unreliable. Additionally. The Bible was translated into English from Latin some time in the late 16th century I believe. English goes not have words with the same meaning as latin words, so the english translation is incorrect with it's wording to a certain extent...
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      What i mean is, the words are translated as exact as possible, but the context with which it is recieved by the reader can be changed. This means that our interpretation of the english bible is not EXACTLY what the interpretation would be in latin :).

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      Anyway. Science is not an organisation who's purpose is to destroy the belief in god. Science is finding out how everything works. You cannot deny that physics and chemistry and biology and everything else is correct. However, it may be that God created the intricate workings of the atom and biological chemistry etc.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      Why is that there must be God OR Science. Maybe God created the intricate relationships that scientists study :). Proving scientific theorys does not disprove the existance of God. It only reveals to us how the universe operates :).

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      The big bang theory for example. There is some evidence to this in 'red shift' red and violet are different wavelengths for light. TOwar one side of a star the light is redder than the other. This means that the sun must be moving in that direction, and shortaning the wavelengths.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      Basically, the big bang may be what created the universe, but what created the big bang? God?

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      Think people before flaming other peoples beliefs. Because essentially, both beliefs are flawed, and one belief fills in the holes that the other leaves open...

(god made man, man made computers, therfore god made computers) therfore, the bible being on the earth means it was made by god...wouldn't that mean its by him?

You're mistaking my quote. I'm not questioning God. Geez, I'm bringing this up again:

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            Physics is the study of the workings and nature of the universe. The universe is the machinations of God. Therefore, physics is the study of the work of God. Creationism attempts to prove that data obtained through the scientific method is incorrect. This, in turn, must mean that the scientific method is incorrect. Physics studies the universe with the scientific method. Therefore, Creationism denies the work of God.

It's kinda like that with the Bible. You don't know if it's by God, or a translation of the words of God, but if the Bible states so, you'll believe it.

I am not saying there is not a god, I just like to question its existence.

What you believe one part truly means may be different to what it really should mean.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        Additionally, you have been reading english translations of a latin work, which was recorded from human retellings. Storys, whether true or not, get twisted out of proportion by humans, translation and interpretation. The bible you guys have read will be innacurate in some respects. To translate, you need to understand what the words mean, and find an accurate english translation. This means that you are interpreting the interpretation of an interpretation ^_^.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        Just to clear something up, I don't... entirely... beleive in god. I'm a science person, and lean toward the idea that everything is just chance. Unless you want to believe that everything can be predicted through complex mathamatical paterns. Which would only prove that God has created complex patters to maintain his creation, or that the complex patters are the work of God.

But I still doubt the existance of God. You could say I don't have 'faith'. I'm just keeping an open mind and effectively destroying everyone's arguments with my twisted logic :) :silence:.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              - Testweek. heh, currently in one, and it's breaking me. I am studying hours and hours a day. it's so demoralizing. the only thing that keeps me going is that Im going to Italy next week.

I don't mean names like asshole or ****, but worse ones, really words to hurt somebody. there aren't that much black people at our school, nor are there much people from the Islam. but I do hear people saying stuff to them, if not in their faces, behind their backs. this really annoys me, and I said that sometimes too. a few times it almost ended up fighting, luckily it didn't.

I'm racist in jest, me and my brother have a laugh now and then at the expense of other nations, but not the level of violence.

The debt has gone completely out of hand, it's over a trillion dollars now. The war is costing more money than anybody could've guessed, and people are dying. And yet they're still giving out tax rebates to win an election.

We would've been worse off with John Kerry. And if we didn't go to war, they would've just bombed us again and costed more lives than if we went to war. If your mad at Bush for going to war, then just think, you would've been mad no matter what the descision was, you would still be mad. You would either be mad that he didn't take any action, or mad that were fighting what some idiots (no offense) would call a "pointless" war. I think it was a good call. I don't like the fact that our troops are dying out there, but I'd rayher it be us fighting and dying to protect ourselves, then just sitting around getting killed off without doing anything.

The best course of action probably would've been to tighten airport security and keep a better eye on what's going on around us. Not only does this action avoid exhausting our troops, but it saves us the money we're spending on a war we don't even need to have, and it also keeps the relationships with other countries clean. Right now, Britain thinks that we're morons. D:

Originally, the Twin Towers got blowed up, so Bush sent out some troops to fight what we called the War on Terrorism, to search for "weapons of mass destruction". Now, five years later, we don't call it that anymore. Now we call it the War in Iraq. Right now, Bush is just trying to get the place stabilized and form some sort of government (I'm a bit fuzzy on the details here). Do you notice something funny about this change in objective? Personally I think Bush was planning this war all along before he was actually President. He thinks he's some god-sent hero bent on improving the world. He really did say that "God wants me to be President" before, you know.

The leaders and people of every super power gets over confident, and eventually do things they'd regret. I think it's finally time for a new super power and eventually China or the European Union will be this power.

And now the U.S. has Iran knocking on their doorstep.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          Also, they say that troops will be in Iraq for nine years, I'm pretty sure the American Government didn't want that to happen.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          As for Kerry, I'm not sure he would've made a better president, I would rather see McCain in there, but perhaps we will see him run in '08.

The leaders and people of every super power gets over confident, and eventually do things they'd regret. I think it's finally time for a new super power and eventually China or the European Union will be this power.

The best course of action probably would've been to tighten airport security and keep a better eye on what's going on around us. Not only does this action avoid exhausting our troops, but it saves us the money we're spending on a war we don't even need to have, and it also keeps the relationships with other countries clean. Right now, Britain thinks that we're morons. D:

Most people didn't want war but unfortunately Tony Blair didn't feel the same way. It's mainly the leaders people are annoyed with, not the actual country.

I mean, anything that causes the capture of one of the most dangerous people on the world can't be all bad right?

It's really not his decision, the government and congress make the legislative decisions in the U.S. So it is not entirely the leaders fault, though the opus is put on them.

And just tightening airport security isn't enough. You have to stop the problem at it's source, as well as put up defensives. And like ME111 said, we DID catch Sadam Husane (SP?). So even if there was or wasn't weapons of mass destruction, there could've been in the future. Sadam was, in a way, like Hitler. And you know how much better off we are now that he's gone. If we had only put up defensives, we would probably end up with car bombings. And then when we put up defensives for that, then there would be people walking into buildings with bombs strapped to them.

And WD, that doesn't mean that HE started planning this BEFORE he was elected, but I can see why they thought this, Sadam was like a modern day Hitler. Whether there was WMD there or not, once he stiked anywhere out of his country, someone should go in there and do something. Just think about what would've happened if nobody did anything to stop Hitler?

I personally believe that Bush simly used the Twin Tower incident to as an excuse to start a war in Iraq.

There is nothing great about people dying and killing each other and Bush is idiot if he thinks otherwise.

Bush did not have to specifically plan what happened on 9/11. By ignoring the information coming into his office specifically stating that terrorists were planning to attack the U.S. he set himself up. After the "failure" in 1993, did the U.S. do anything to protect from the same thing happening again? No. And we paid for that with 9/11.

With the ocean's temperature rising, it is easier for hot fronts and cold fronts to meet and create a tropical storm. It is therefore more likely we will have larger hurricanes in the future.

Why focus all energy on flaws? Like, why can't the News channels ever talk about GOOD stuff? The only good news that CNN and the like ever talk about is when somebody wins a game on the Sports section. Why can't we give ourselves a pat on the back whenever we do something right?

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    I suppose it's human nature for people to focus on the bad things. But still, I like a pat on the back every now and again.

Corporations are made for solely making money. Bad news makes people want to tune in. Without people tuning in, the news corporations would have no popularity in which other companies use to pay them for commercials. No commercials, no money. No money, no point. Sex, Violence, bad news altogether. It's all one marketing campaigne that will never grow old. That's my concern as toward the world's flaws: Greed. The want for money is greater than the want for putting effort into a successful product that everyone can enjoy.

I think ignorance is the worlds biggest flaw. People thinking they do things good but they don't. It's in my eyes the biggest flaw because people try to do something about it but they can't because they don't know what they are trying to prevent. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but so is uglyness I guess.

I hate it, people doing and believing things just because their told to or their friends do it. Also, TV seems to be a large issue. I don't have channels, and when we're watching a news cast about Katrina or some other disaster, I seem to be the only one who actually feels sad and depressed about it...Drugs are a biggie to, but that can be somewhat attributed to both greed and ignorance and TV.

Whenever something big seems to happen, the government is always blaming something else and never really taking responsibility.

And what's the point in saying there are people out there without greed? If there are, they certainly don't live in the United States.

But I definately wouldn't keep it all for myself, and that's a fact. Most people have greed, but there are people who can get past most, if not all of it. And thrusting money in my face and me taking it isn't greedy. Thrusting money in my face, me taking it, and me not sharing it is greedy. I admit, I still have greed, but I'm very generous and can get past most of mine.

And you can call me ignorant all you want, but I've decided everything I believe in on my own, without brainwashing or anything like that.

If homo's want to legally **** each other they can go to England. And I'm sick of your Melbourne *** capital crap. If you feel so passiontly about homo's in Melbourne go down to St.Kilda and make yourself someone money.
