Wonderful ! I've never seen a so perfect reply in Minitokyo unto now. I'm pretty
sure you're a genius, possessing a dramatic personal culture.
Indeed, I forgot to mention what reply in what thread I'm speaking of: Does
Capitalism represent the best economic ideology?
Sincerely, I'm incapable to cease my laudative regards at you and to restrain
myself from asking this following demand:
Would you become my electronic friend?
Please take attention: if you refused , respond to me; I infuriated to persons
who never respond. ^_^
Best regards.

Quote by AcyxHey Fluke, I just wanted to say
I'm sorry for having ranted on your "Should President Bush be
Impeached" thread. It was a bad manuever on my part, and has been deleted
so that others don't get carried off-topic.
No problem man, I'm glad to see that my thread has sparked some discussin
whether it's negative or not. I had noticed one of your posts disappeared. Well
anywho, seeya later!
I don't want to discourage you when we have our debates if you think I am then I
apologize.....you do bring up valid points worth discussing and I really don't
want you to stop voicing your opinions about it. Anyway, I just wanted you to
know that I believe you are a decent person and I have added you to my friends
list......if you didn't mind.
Quote by AcyxI think now is a good time to
apologize for being such an ass. Liger, Shin, I'm sorry that I lost it, Styphon
too. I'll be completely honest with you, I am no law major. Matter of fact, the
primary field I invest my time in is science, namely aspects such as chemistry
and biology. Well, all that and I've also been under a great deal of stress. You
guys are fun to chat with also, although I have a very bad habit of outwardly
projecting stress onto items such as writing, a flaw that I've been working very
hard to correct for a considerable amount of time. I will try harder in the
future so that things like this don't happen again.
-Acyx
Acyx, you didn't have to go and delete your posts.
What's said is said, and you did in fact raise some very good points. For
example, there are many policymakers who do believe that the AUMF does not take
precedence over FISA and as such all electronic surveillance for the purpose of
gathering foreign surveillance has to conform to all of the FISA statutory
requirements. Both sides have sound arguments, and in the end it's down to the
courts to decide which interpretation is the correct one.
I admit that in my response to your posts I may have gotten a bit personal; your
implied grouping of me and all other participants who held a different opinion
than you as "ultra-con fartknockers" and your suggestion that I am
getting material reimbursement for my apparent support for the President were
certainly offensive to me. I am a moderate conservative but not a staunch
supporter of all of the administration's policies. My purpose in participating
in the thread in question was not to support or contest the current
administration's policies, but to respond directly to the question at hand:
should the President be impeached?
Clearly, there is no legal justification for impeaching the President at this
time, as he hasn't been found to have broken any laws. Furthermore, as I hinted
to in one of my posts, I do not believe that President Clinton should have been
impeached earlier, as while he did commit a crime, I do not believe that crime
was heinous enough to be one of the high crimes and misdemeanors that would
justify impeachment proceedings. In fact, I do feel that Clinton was an adept
administrator, though some of his policies left much to be desired.
You said you were under a great deal of stress, and there I can certainly
commiserate with you. Best of luck with everything you're dealing with right
now, and hope to see you around in the future. I'm sure we'll find ourselves at
odds again, but I hope that we can reach some understanding that will allow us
to temper our words and ensure that any debates we may have in the future are
not manifestations of any mutual dislike but rather of honest differences of
political perspective.
Wow dude...wow. Interesting post I must say in my Impeachment thread. I
appreciate you taking the time out to write such a detailed comment.

Gotta say it again dude....WOW...you and shinsengumi sure know your american and
international laws I'll give you guys that much for sure I'd just
say I guess my reason's for believing Bush should be outta office aren't as fact
based as everyone else's. I just don't like the way he seems to run things be it
starting wars, invading countries...just not right. Oh well, thanks for the
comment again in my thread.
Quote by AcyxThe typified "white"
european-looking Jesus observed in most depictions and drawings has been around
at least since the fourteen hundred CE mark, as this was how Leonardo Da Vinci
had depicted him in pieces of his artwork, as well as had it also been painted
by many of his contemporaries in this same manner. Personally, I think the
actual Jesus was either Black, or Arabic, depending on which of the varied
cultures or ethnicities he may have been a member of.
People tend to forget that the middle east in this time was of course a bustling
nexus for trade amongst the Mediterranean, and that in fact there are several
ethnic groups that comprise this section of the world. More than likely the
white version of Jesus first showed up in around the late 300's CE, after the
Roman Emperor Constantine I (Constantine the Great) decreed Christianity as
Rome's official state religion, replacing the pagan gods and goddesses of eras
passed.
Though it's probably nothing more than a buffer created by the Europeans
specifically for the purpose of feeling closer to their own version of Jesus, I
personally do not care what skin color or ethnicity Jesus may have been.
Siddharta was Indian, he preaches on how to be good to one another, do not wrong
or kill one-another, do not steal.. Mohammed though being from one of the most
demonized (now) groups of people on this earth speaks of the exact same thing,
as does Jahweh, and of course his direct offshoot, Jesus.
Apparently a black man can break into your house or car, and steal your stereo;
or an Arab can strap bombs to himself and blow himself apart over his
overemphasized or overpublicised "religious superiority". But as soon
as either of them offer you a path of kindness toward one-another, and peace of
mind, body, and soul (I'm reluctant to say "Salvation", as that this
would probably sound Zionistic of me).. is when the red flags start flying.
It's not surprising really, many people tend to think of their various gods and
other articles of worship in such a three-dimensional sense. He who offers you
salvation has to look exactly like his specific race of people, because they all
know and realize subconciously that someone of a different skin-color or a
different ethnicity is not like them, and is therefore inherently evil as many
of their psuedo-reasonings would lead them to believe.
It's like when the first manned missions into space were sent up in the early
1960's, and people expected to see that of heaven when the astronauts cleared
the upper atmosphere. Though many of them were disappointed when they found
there was no heaven "up there", this demonstrates how shallow some
people's perception of God actually was, and still is. I personally welcome the
idea of Jesus being Black or Arabic as opposed to the traditional (and obviously
doctored through centuries of being passed around through European church
institutions) white Jesus. Teachings of these things should extend beyond skin
color, although most people can't seem to break free of their buried xenophobias
long enough to accept a fact such as that your religious leader may have very
well been of a different race or ethnicity.

Quote by SegurHe was white for sure,because
no black man could have had such influence over people for the simple fact that
blacks were slaves.Idea of Black Jesus is quite ridicolous if taken in fact the
period of time and place for hes life.Also all church relics portray Jesus as
white man,not as black one.
Idea of black jesus is made up by racist black people who dont have same type of
religious god-like person to look up to.So they claim that their idol in fact
shares their color of skin,wich is made up lie.
Alright, it's time for me to pick apart this quote from you..
Christianity was at least three hundred plus years old when the first of the
christians were able to live free of persecution from the Roman Empire, as did
slaves in the Roman sense comprise that of various persons from across the
empire. Many free blacks such as those from places like Ethiopia and others
abounded here, as that it was a trade hub for that corner of the ancient world.
The Catholic Church was established some three hundred years after Jesus' death,
and of course throughout it's history; The church has made some changes to the
original scriptures and of course more notably to Jesus as well. For example, as
opposed to the traditional all-male disciples, Jesus was historically known to
have had several female disciples as well, among these was the infamous Mary
Magdeline (who was also a very close and well-trusted compatriot) who the Church
tarnished and demonized as a harlot, the others were simply edited out, as that
the oral accounts had since vanished, and thus nothing was left to be found of
them.
My question for you is: Since when does a purely European-looking Jesus
naturally occur in that of an area that is populated exclusively by differing
ethnic groups of which none of the northern European traits are manifest? Those
so-called racists are probably right that Jesus was of a different ethnicity
than the cliche pure-white savior so elegantly depicted on your church altar's
crucifix, murals, or stained-glass windows. Horrifying thought, isn't it? A
black, or an Arabic man actually gave you your faith, and through some nine or
ten centuries of the Catholic Churches' warping and alteration gave you the
whitewashed image of Jesus you look up to today. Ah, how the feeble-minded try
to substantiate their narrowed notions of God or Jesus, or any other holy
figure, yet fail miserably to do so.
O_O you actually typed he whole thing...............I was
gonna do that.....
Hey dude! I just got done watching Cowboy Bebop The Movie again for the first
time in like a year. I was able to get through it OK but I still had a hard time
seeing Faye go after that first bounty without invisioning that freak cross
dressing dude you implanted in my brain. Just picture the scene of her/him
boping in her/his fighter to the music and it's enough to make me projectile
vomit all over the place. I really wish you would have never told me of this
thing but I guess you were just posting to my thread. Damn what's a person to
do. I think I am off to get some "eletroshock therapy". It's the only
way to get get rid of that horrible vision. Please God let it work...
Thank you for participating in my threads! Your insight was very enlighting, and
i agree we should focus on the immedate things such as global warming though
sadly many people don't belive in it.

Quote by AcyxSo in essence you've made a
quintessential particle cannon, pretty nasty weapon you've got there, although
how well does it work and does it have a practical application outside of pure
weaponry in this particular incarnation? Also, exactly how large is this device
and if extremely huge, could it be scaled down for use?
Sometimes it's better to stick with what's tried and true rather than what's of
the greatest technological advancement. I'm sure that once they perfect
railguns, those will be just as effective of a weapon as this particle cannon
you make mention of above. With some improvements on the technology, this will
probably exceed the projectile weapon in overall performance.
As a hand-held weapon, it's probably capable of developing
10,000 watts (or more or less). By the way it IS tried and true; they're used as
HPM (High Power Microwave) technology under the government (with rumors that
they're used in Iraq) and used in particle accelerators for experimentation at
CERN or other private organizations for particle physics. It can also be and
probably Is used in home-made rail guns/ gauss-guns.
Really I'm not trying to offend you or any1 else OR be an inconsiderate jerk,
but I dont think the shoe fits quite right on the foot to say ''better to stick
with what's tried and true rather than what's of the greatest technological
advancement'' when it
actually works and is used in industry governmentally and otherwise. PLZ
dont take this as an offence.

Quote by AcyxHey man, just wanted to get
back to you on your post in my guestbook. I'm not offended, not in the
slightest. Although what I meant to say was that a weaponized application of the
Ion Ray (particle cannon) is still a little bit of a ways off. Not to say that
there aren't already applications of the said device in industry and/or
government experimentation, these options are everyday practical uses of the
same core technology. Just that it's application as a quintessential anime or
Babylon 5-esque weapon has yet to be seen, and will more than likely not be seen
during either my or your lifetime. Feel free to disagree with me man, I don't go
off on tirades for legitimate tender (although there have been instances where I
have lost my temper over very odious comments, see the political forums for
details), nor do I hold grudges. There's no real need for apologies either, so
don't be intimidated.
Take care,
-Acyx
I do see what you mean; to get this kind of power for
an ION RAY is far off from present day. There Is a possibility it can be a
non-lethal weapon? It can also be used as a close-combat weapon; the peak of the
electrical pulse is too high for a grown male's heart to not burn from high
current and voltage.
Quote by AcyxHe who advocates mass genocide
or nuclear holocaust in lieu of peace or "freedom" is not worthy of my
admirations or respect as anything but a psychopath, and I stand by this prior
statement as being very well justified, thank you.
And there is a plethora of ways to attack the ideas advocated rather than the
individual who advocates them. Name calling is not a refutation of the idea of
genocide.
Your perception of him is your business, but it is my business to make sure that
the forums is a civilized place for civilized discourse. If you are unable to
discuss things without resorting to ad hominem, then I will ask you to refrain
from posting at all.
I just dropped by to comment on your post in the Clinton?
or Bush? thread and I've to say you got it, very well, detailed and straight
ahead *respect*
But I'm further interested, you quoted A.H. (I don't like to spell him) how does
that came to pass? Are you interested in these themes yourself or did you learn
it at College etc.
As well as the ending of your last post, it's an slightly changed qoute from the
german lutherian pastor Martin Niemueller. It seems to me as if you know a lot
of European history, philosophy and historical personalities, so respect for
your knowledge
Anyway I think your post is great and you're, at least in my opinion, very
likely to be an embodiment of what an American should be
hiya there Acyx-san! thanks so much for participating in my thread "The use
of racist slang on MT"! it was refreshing to see a response other than
"it's ok as long as it's not meant in a racist way".
well, take cares and hope to see you around!
Hello hello, Acyx! As you may suspect, I'm writing you in regards to the
discussion over in City Hall regarding the War
in Iraq thread. To be clear, I want to note that my response to your post
was mostly in response to the fact that you stated the idea of the Bush
Administration orchestrating the events of 11 September 2001 as fact (and strong
enough fact for members of the Administration to be put in a war crimes
tribunal) and not just theory. Besides the fact that international courts such
as the ICC do not have jurisdiction over nationals of the United States, I just
wanted to point out that regardless of the paucity of information in certain
areas of the official account of the events of that date, the data and
interpretation that yields the conspiracy theory has at least as many holes and
rests on some fairly shaky reasoning, and therefore at the very most it can be
considered as one of a number of possibilities.
Your response brings me to another point.
Quote by Acyx Shinsen, since you are a forum
moderator and of course of higher standing than I, instead of my usual criticism
of the administration's totalitarian policies and of course the widely-held and
widely believed "conspiracy theory" (as it could be called), I will
simply state that I disagree in the highest that it is merely a
theory.
Whether I am a forum moderator should have no
bearing on your response to my statements. I know that every issue can be viewed
from any number of perspectives, and that there is no one single monolithic
opinion that represents Truth. As such, I tried to make it clear that my
position was my opinion.
As forum moderator, my responsibility is not to force all members to see a
single point of view. In fact, as a moderate conservative, my views often differ
significantly from those of other members of the staff, many of which come from
particularly liberal areas of the world. Rather, my task involves ensuring an
atmosphere conducive towards intelligent discussion where multiple viewpoints
can be safely expressed so that we can benefit from the number of cultures,
backgrounds, and experiences represented here in this community for mutual
benefit and intellectual gain. I know that people disagree with me, and in fact
I like it when they do, as I've always found that the intelligent exchange not
only gives you insight into a different perspective, but it allows you to
further elaborate upon and perhaps even re-evaluate your own position.
As such, I ask a favor of you. In the midst of discussion, treat me like any
other member. I will not moderate any differently depending on your views and
arguments, but if you do put forth a particularly cogent arguement, or if you
manage to defend a particular point of view with particular tact and skill, you
will only gain respect in my eyes, and not emnity.
Hope that clarifies things! Let me know if you have any questions or concerns
and I'll see what I can do to be of assistance.
