You're looking at it from the outsider point of view LadyLorraine Send a noteboard - 08/01/2010 10:12:15 PM
the point of view that made it so damned obvious to Sully.

But from the point of view of the natives, the creatures are indomitable Despite whatever talents they have, they are used to thinking of the creature as something to be feared. It'd be like a rabbit thinking "maybe I should just bite this puma's nutsack". Basically, conquering one of the big dragons is not simply an act of skill or courage...it's an act of overcoming preconceived notion of fear. Is that not a trait desirable in a leader?

I don't completely agree, but this is similar to everyone retroactively hating Tom Cruise's movies. Zalis - 05/01/2010 08:47:19 PM 1011 Views
Which is just as silly, yes. *NM* ironclad - 05/01/2010 08:48:55 PM 455 Views

I always thought that was just stupid of people (and that includes 3/4 of my family) imlad - 09/01/2010 05:27:41 PM 895 Views
LOL...~hands Dannymac a clue~ damookster - 06/01/2010 04:51:43 AM 1127 Views
Just judging him based on what he writes... Dannymac - 06/01/2010 04:17:49 PM 941 Views
the point is... damookster - 06/01/2010 11:25:46 PM 907 Views

Wait...I support same-sex marriage. Just not all that other crap. Tom - 07/01/2010 06:18:40 AM 897 Views
trespasses against persons is subjective. LadyLorraine - 07/01/2010 07:09:22 AM 957 Views
Actually, it isn't. Tom - 07/01/2010 03:46:30 PM 861 Views
ah I wasn't aware you were referring to a legal term LadyLorraine - 07/01/2010 05:37:10 PM 922 Views
Considering that it's made-up BS, why should it be? Cannoli - 09/01/2010 11:01:31 PM 890 Views
what about those not capable of walking away? LadyLorraine - 10/01/2010 03:51:10 AM 826 Views
Who has the right to say a parent is abusing the child, and what prevents abuses the other way? Cannoli - 10/01/2010 09:13:45 AM 1094 Views
You are not wrong LadyLorraine - 10/01/2010 04:43:55 PM 895 Views
Re: trespasses against persons is subjective. Cannoli - 09/01/2010 11:12:57 PM 907 Views
but it is wrong to deny the legal ramifications of marriage LadyLorraine - 10/01/2010 04:19:02 AM 1033 Views
Civics & economics 101 Cannoli - 10/01/2010 08:47:07 AM 1021 Views
okay, I can agree on your points LadyLorraine - 10/01/2010 05:14:32 PM 830 Views
That's not Economics 101. That's practically Anarcho-capitalism. Ghavrel - 13/01/2010 11:54:22 PM 859 Views
Duh. Cannoli - 14/01/2010 03:00:56 AM 862 Views

Apaprently I misread your earlier post. Very good points. *NM* Ghavrel - 19/01/2010 01:17:01 AM 438 Views
I'll agree to the trespass against persons imlad - 09/01/2010 06:07:29 PM 925 Views
What bullshit you write. Tom - 10/01/2010 01:30:02 AM 832 Views
He's such a parody of himself, one wonders if he's not a fake identity created by rightists. *NM* LiterateDog - 10/01/2010 05:14:31 AM 461 Views
uhm...nothing in nature shares with all. LadyLorraine - 10/01/2010 05:28:04 AM 882 Views
So what you're saying is people shouldn't take movies to heart ? AgentOrange - 06/01/2010 01:39:21 PM 921 Views
That's just the point. Dannymac - 06/01/2010 04:15:48 PM 1030 Views
Precisely *NM* ironclad - 06/01/2010 04:45:58 PM 479 Views

I completely disagree with you about Avatar. Tom - 06/01/2010 02:18:22 PM 975 Views
would you have felt better if they were albino aliens? LadyLorraine - 07/01/2010 07:16:20 AM 902 Views
You really have a habit of missing the point of my posts in the name of snide remarks. Tom - 07/01/2010 03:47:36 PM 945 Views
Yes well, it's a habit I picked up from the rest of the posters. LadyLorraine - 07/01/2010 05:41:51 PM 1000 Views
It's just simplistic. Like a Disney movie, but no songs. What really bugs me is that the Company beetnemesis - 08/01/2010 08:48:32 AM 957 Views

That's totally what it is, hah beetnemesis - 08/01/2010 08:57:10 AM 1002 Views
See...that's where I'm different. Jeordam - 08/01/2010 03:33:30 PM 869 Views
I suppose the lesson is to not read about celebrities' politics? beetnemesis - 08/01/2010 06:22:10 PM 769 Views
But that's kind of the point... Jeordam - 08/01/2010 06:51:05 PM 882 Views
Uh oh, you used the "c" word... Dannymac - 08/01/2010 07:47:40 PM 981 Views
I hate it when you sound like an actual preacher LadyLorraine - 08/01/2010 10:03:28 PM 881 Views
Aw, I liked some of those sentences. Ghavrel - 08/01/2010 11:07:15 PM 819 Views
Isn't that a Bible quote? *NM* Legolas - 09/01/2010 12:33:51 AM 454 Views
I guess maybe from an epistle? *NM* Ghavrel - 09/01/2010 02:44:36 AM 440 Views

You have to admire the world building though LadyLorraine - 07/01/2010 07:27:13 AM 808 Views
Both of you are more or less right beetnemesis - 08/01/2010 08:59:34 AM 834 Views
He DID write the original screenplay, I thought? LadyLorraine - 08/01/2010 10:04:07 PM 853 Views
