So what we've got going here is some form of EM chamelioning more than invisibility. I do wonder about practical applications if scientists manage to ge it to work at lower wavelengths.

Worst movie ever seen... Dungeons & Dragons. Hands down. There was exactly one scene in the entire movie with any acting worth paying for. And the special effects were even poor for that time. Least favorite actor... Tom Cruise. Costner takes a close second; but at least I can tolerate watching Costner overact. And yes, they've both had one good success. -------------------- The Silent Assassin refuses to comment. -------------------- -Lenar Labs What's Your Destiny?

Skeleton_Archer: No. Emperor Tullegolar: Calm down. Dintiradan: Awesome. We need to compare specimens sometime. :P I have to hold with Nioca on this one in that while the antagonist can be a villain and while an evil person can be a villain, the antagonist can still be villainous without being evil; and likewise, an antagoinist can still be evil without being villainous. You can be a bad guy without being a villain. In my personal line of thought, I don't really think that you can be villainous without being antagonistic. Merely because in my experience, a villain makes quite the show of being antagonistic... But antagoinism is not enough... Perhaps, in some way, we subconsciously come to admire our foe, for one of many reasons. Perhaps dedication, intelligence, humanity, cleverness, creativity, or one of many other attributes can take hold of our attention, and make us slightly sorry to see our foe go... -------------------- The Silent Assassin only ever once went on a hunger strike.

Even Vahkohs has a vulnerable, sympathetic side. If you recall, his actions were in direct response to his torture at the hands of Lord Maynard. By the time the party enters the story, he's desperate, despite being heartless. Death, as an example for the other hand, makes a very poor villain because, despite his mysterious and destructive nature, he has no aggressive motivation, no soft side, no plot twist. He claims his kin, takes revenge, and then just hangs around to kill people. EDIT: I'd like to add, as an afterthought, that the best villians also make the best anti-heroes. -------------------- The Silent Assassin believes that even the most powerful Evil Overlord must have some sort of soul... Or maybe I'm confusing him with Ghandi again. [ Wednesday, October 18, 2006 15:14: Message edited by: Lenar, Inc. ] -------------------- -Lenar Labs What's Your Destiny?

I realize that this is probably going to drown in the flood of other sub-threads, but I need to take back part of what I said earlier... There is a major difference between causing harm and causing offense. Though I do maintain that you don't choose to be offended, only the principles that influence what offends you. -------------------- Eht Saltne Ississan spalltd cufftt un my ktybuird ind scrtwtd sumtehang op. -------------------- -Lenar Labs What's Your Destiny?

Definitely thought-provoking, ADoS. Hmm. Comprehensive feedback: This seems more about ethics and approach to life than moral principles (though you do include said principles), and that is frankly the only weakness I can find. You may merely wish to change your title. And if you think that that's MLA... you'd best be doing a bit more research on your form, my friend. Now then... a nice ramble in response to your content: The only hole I can find in your philosophy is the unfortunate fact that it is impossible to not offend at least someone. It would make sense, however, if you were a bit unexpressively utilitarian in that regard, so I'm not going to press the issue. I myself find it amusing, if not disturbing, how the modern concensus of principles of morality and/or ethicality are derived not from religion or good of the majority, but from outdated and expired social contracts stemming from the misunderstanding of religion, corruption of man's egocentrism, and a skewed view of the good of the majority. And I agree with you that "nature" is a poor reference for morality, in that nature is full of natural aberritions, and is constantly changing anyway. And to add to that, my theology dictates my belief that nature is corrupted, to boot. I'm sure that you don't agree, but I felt it a good idea to throw my rationale out there. I find CCD a good example of the perversion of principles: those in charge are so consumed by a schedule of indoctrination before confirmation that they do not teach their students the implications of the doctrine that they are learning (speaking from experience related to me by Catholic friends. I am a non-lutheran protestant who has never taken any form of confirmation class), leaving the students to draw their own conclusions. Your reference to "naughty thoughts" is an exceptionally good example of religious principles taken out of concept by the religion that follows them. Yes, Christ did indeed say that looking on a woman lustfully is sin. In context, he was telling off a group of religious leaders for divorcing their wives so that they could marry younger women. The sin here is not thinking naughtily, the sin(s) is(/are) being unfaithful, and desiring that which isn't yours. These are merely done though "naughty thoughts". Naughty thoughts are not necessarily a problem: a married man who doesn't have any about his wife is probably in a very poor relationship. But instead of differentiating between the sin and the act that causes it, the powers-that-be lump it into one taboo act and expect you to draw your own implications from that. In your case, ADoS, you concluded that the only way to avoid hell would be five years making up for all past offenses. Change of topics: "offensive" language. I think Dikiyoba has the best response to this: there are some words and concepts that are automatically offensive due to the social context in which they are used. A person cannot necessarily chose what they are offended by. A person can chose the principles that influence what offends them (such as the valuing of God's "name" being a significantly higher priority over the personal offense of some random listener), and perhaps, a person can choose to not be offended. But it appears quite obvious that the partiality displayed on the radio offended you. Did you choose for it to offend you, or did you not immediately and instinctively react? And I must also agree with Diki that there is an extreme difference between using strong language for emphasis and the casual "f--- that f---ing f---er for f---ing that f---ing s--- up". Some people will be offended by my example, despite its being censored. Do they choose to be offended because the nature of the message is crude? The easiest way to get someone's attention is to offend them. Does it make it right? Only if your priority is attention. Okay, summary of ramble: ADoS, you wrote a good paper on your personal ethics and approach to life. Some may argue with you, but they are your ethics, meaning that only you can decide on the principles that shape them. I agree with you that modern society is drawing its principles from the wrong place, but I do not agree with you on what the right place is. I furthermore disagree that people do not choose to be offended, but that they chose that which makes them suseptable (sp?) to offense. Logic, the good of mankind, and not hurting anyone are admirable and ideal goals, but make poor values due to the fact that all three are highly subjective. But it was definitely a good, thought-provoking paper. End of ramble. I hope it gets published. It's worth it. EDIT: I seriously need to pay more attention to the preface sometimes... -------------------- The Silent Assassin would like it known that granny smith apples make for good explosives.

In one of the lines at lunch today, the guy distributing dishes to the various buffets stopped and expressed condolances over Lidle to a man ahead of me in line who was wearing a Yankees t-shirt. The dish guy (who happens to be the senior class clown) then gave the sports fan a hug and told him that he had his respect for wearing the shirt, even after his team had been eliminated. The man in the Yankees shirt, apparently unfamiliar with said dish guy's infamous antics, was so disturbed by this incident that he left the line and walked away. What does this have to do with the MLB response to Cory Lidle? Absolutely nothing. I just thought it was a funny thing to happen. -------------------- The Silent Assassin claims that he is not doing anything. I'm worried. -------------------- -Lenar Labs What's Your Destiny?

"Lenar Labs" Comes upwith 266 hits, all of which deal with yours truly and/or his motley company. Most of them are from the Forums, Diki's fan work, or the Shadow Vale archives; however, I did get three hits on my own site. You know, the previews from the forum have a lot of the older stuff on them... I find it quite nice that people have just started calling me Lenar. "Lenar Labs" all of the time was quite cumbersome. And frankly, it's a bit more... um... friendly, I guess, than being called Grimm. -------------------- The Silent Assassin got 33,100 hits.

In the area of film and radio, we find it honoring if someone mimics our shots, technique, etc. Actual content, on the other hand (there we go, six), is the work of the writers and is owned by whoever is funding our little project. Point? If'n you're gonna borrow something, even for something as inane as creating a scenario from a book, talking to the copyright owner is part of professional courtesy.
