Odd, I thought Starshiptroopers was semi serious political comentary (although it might have been misguided at times). The movie obviously was a parody but I am not so sure about the book.


The Forever War on the other hand was most certainly a jab at the folly of humanity and regarded by many as the counterargument to starship troopers.

I <3 Tacos in case anyone had forgotten. But I also <3 Chinese food cause its like totally sweet.

What about Fast Times at Ridgemont High or Animal House?

"Starship Troopers" was a parody. It was a jab at the folly of humanity. I don't think any quote from that book was meant to be taken seriously."

Even if the book was satire (and i don't believe that it is), the quote is historically accurate.


The movie is brilliant as well, because the scope of the political organisim is preserved nicely just beneath the standard packaging that you need to have in a movie to sell it to the american public.

All i remember is some big ass bugs eating some tiny people and stuff.. Oh and like they all got cool tattoos and I think there was a love story in it too...

Sorry, but our bard back then would outmezz you anyday Frec.


My posts in that thread are nothing compared to some of the trash on this board from many of you.


I'm glad you take the time to actually trace down all my posts and read them.


Fear it ^X^

Heinlen was a genious at taking the foibles of mankind and placing them in a futuristic setting. My take from the majority of his books was that no matter how advanced we became technologically, we would always be susceptible to the same faults we have always been. The underlying message being technology alone can not make humans better.


True about the movie, though. It was a more cartoonish form of parody.

Actually I provided him with that link X. I read the fighter forums all the time, go figure. Since you have begun posting there more often, I've noticed your propensity to stretch the truth to make yourself sound good. If you follow your posts on that board, when people question your knowledge, you point out that you were rank 8 and such n such time. It started out as 8 months in, and as time goes by gets shorter and shorter. Currently, according to you, you were Realm Rank 8 in January of 2002(4 months into game). That is a gigantic lie. I dare you to argue this point with me.


I really don't care what you claim, you can claim rank 10 on day 2 if you want, but it just shows that your word is meaningless. Your known for your chest beating and your casual disregard for the truth, why stop now?

<Most of the people calling groups copycats were from KoS. Nobody else really noticed or cared. >


thats not true Hyglec - most recognized this and posted about it. Even more midgard guilds as such are still popping up on all servers. Do you think this isnt true?


i think mists post came out stronger than he first wanted but his last post he clarified a lot of things.


I think your quarrel is with Mythic tho mist...Deleted wanted a change and for good reason. PLus they only have 1 savage so i have respect for them for that. Release on the other hand...2-3 saveges in every group.


One thing deleted is showing all the other tools on mid lance is that warriors are a great tank and can be used as such. I heard so many complaints about warriors it was truly funny. Also you hear so many complaints about healers...guess those were unfounded.


hopefully well have some good battles with Deleted and show them how to really play an alb group O_o especially be some good fights after they actually make it so casters can compete again since albion takes the largest loss there.


how did this turn into a release beat off party?

Altrax, how many wars have there been in the last 50 years?


How many insurections have there been in the last 50 years that have been resoleved without wars.


Case closed, please dont try and say wars and violence solves problems. They dont.


My point is that lately people on these boards have some extreme hatred, this is RL hatred to someone whom they never met. This is a video game, its made for entertainment. People should not judge others by their actions in a game. nor should people hold any actions from a video game against them personally.


People just grow up, learn that your playing a game and you win some and you lose some. In the end there you should be satisfied with your gaming experience, if not dont hold grudges agasint people, log off and play another game.
