Copperfox said:
Concerning "liberals": that is one of the most ambiguous of words in modern usage. Four people could use this word in a conversation, with no two of them meaning the same thing by it. Two persons who both regard themselves as liberals might quarrel bitterly and come away calling each other Nazis.

But many of those who are nowadays considered liberals believe most or all of the following statements:

1) All religions should enjoy total freedom of expression, EXCEPT Christianity.

2) All cultures are equally valid and good, EXCEPT Judeo-Christian-based Western culture.

3) All criticism of people's customs or preferences is the same thing as racist hate speech, EXCEPT when the target has customs or preferences based on the Bible.

4) All extensive private ownership of property and wealth is wicked and evil, EXCEPT when the wealthy person is a liberal (as "liberal" is understood here).

5) Killing human beings is always wrong, EXCEPT when the ones being killed are unborn babies.

6) In every way other than reproductive functions, men and women are exactly equal, identical, indistinguishable and interchangeable--EXCEPT that all women are smarter and better than all men.

7) Governmental authority should always be centralized, and enjoy total domination over people's lives, EXCEPT where this would interfere with MY pleasures and privileges.

8) Every political viewpoint is equally entitled to be heard in the public square, EXCEPT any viewpoint that disagrees with the preceding items.

Yikes. thanks for that.
 
Of course I love Star Wars Saga, any why not? If it is a cultural inheritance for millions of people in the world. Besides, I say this:

Attention to all of you, in this forum...

I welcome you to Epic Earth

I, Maese Delta, have something special I'd like to share with you.

Well, first things first, if you really want to earn your love for such kind of stories, you'll do well to not only read the books, but also watch the movies, and more important, read the epics that inspired them.

As you might guess, this will be a long thread, but I have no time yet to explain all I want to tell you. But, I have something urgent now.

Here I go: I am totally an Epic Lover, it's the literary and film genre by excelence. I am writing a story of such a genre, and I've spent 6 years in the making, though I still keep on the work. My first and greatest inspiration was The Lord the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring. Since then, I've followed, read and watched as many epic I've found. And also, my story was conceived.

And now, here is the glimpse of what this thread will speak of:

What of the following epic movies have you seen, and which ones are your favorites? If you have seen most of them, how will you rank them?

Note: The order the movies are listed does not represent my preferences... well, just a bit, yet I don't remember very well how was my ranking for them.

Well... that was 'Phew!' for you. But, now you know, that shows at least a glimpse of my love for the Epic. On the next days, I'll update this thread and ask you about how many epics you have read. I hope you're interested to know more about this genre in both books and films. And, why not, perhaps to build a group which I call 'Glaerendilis', which means: 'Friends' or 'Lovers' of the Epic in Sindarin, one of the Elvish tongues of Tolkien in Middle Earth.

And don't be afraid of all of this, and please, do not feel offender nor scared. The Epic shows many things, you'll see... besides, what is the Epic about? It is always a long journey, and there many things to face. You are not afraid of such overwhelming things like this, and have you never felt once in your life like if you were in one of those stories?
