In my quick glean of the topic Qliver seemed to have his finger on the pulse. Let's face it, much of the points in this discussion can best be satisfied by things like listening to talented song lyrics or signing yourself into a mental institution. I...  [Read More]

My personal opinion is that euthanasia, abortion and homosexuality do not relate to the law in any greater sense than regulation in the strictest sense of health and safety (in the case of homosexuality subject only to common decency laws irrespectiv...  [Read More]

So the question is how do we solve the problems in Zimbabwe? An abusive government, runaway inflation and a national health crisis. Getting rid of Mugabe doesn't necessarily broach any of these issues, which would be one major consideration. I read...  [Read More]

Not so. There are defences to Murder. Some, like provocation, reduce the sentence to manslaughter, others, like reasonable self defence, acquit. Semantics. You still get charged unless there are special, very unusual circumstances. Under the justifi...  [Read More]

I'm noticing a real cultural divide between Americanism and Empire here, which goes back to how government is performed very, very differently between the US and British Parliamentary systems. Point one: it is not un-Constitutional to favour a relig...  [Read More]

I've got to say from a purely academic point of view, Garfield appears to have taken a piece of sensationalism and attempted to further that without an entirely independent research. This would be a debating tactic, not an academic research methodolo...  [Read More]

With the fanatical, murderous wiccan analogy I was merely making a point about public perceptions. Obviously the beliefs of a psychotic individual are irrelevent but where these beliefs are marginal to begin with (that is, not a mainstream traditiona...  [Read More]

Because Australia has no fundamental laws relating to religion (like the way freedom of religion is written into the US Constitution), there is no need for court rulings to determine that a belief is a religion. Legally there is nothing which says Ca...  [Read More]

Excellent, let us finally get started. According to mediaeval Japanese druidism, magic is a misinterpretation of mundane events. Most importantly Japanese warrior-monks in the mediaeval age were interested only in those systems or beliefs which were...  [Read More]

Since religious devotion ~might~ loosely be described as a form of political compass, I'll run with it a little, hope you don't mind Allronix. If it gets too involved as to command its own title, I'll start a new thread. As an Australian naturally I...  [Read More]

The eyes need to be bigger (give him an almost manga look) and the upper lip a bit straighter (more pouty effect gained on the lower lip). Putting in a bit of character to the face is what would give it the trademark "Anakin" appearance. Ca...  [Read More]

Nice. Looking forward to it. I like the angle on the True Sith. Always liked the comics best of all, IMHO they best Lucas himself. A bit more starship action is thoroughly welcomed, too. It was one of the things missing from KotorII, which gives but...  [Read More]
