He shapeshifted with clothing back on, boo.
Clothes mandatory? *Reads last panel* Are you sure? (http://forum.nfsunlimited.net/images/smiles/icon_surprised.gif)
He got the "shadow with glowing eyes" trick down. He's awesome in my book.
And quite the interesting mental image from the last panel ;)
Edit:
Even though, positioning-wise, that might just be himself, darkened for style. Still, glowing eyes in dark shapes are awesome. Dual-colored glowing eyes, too (as seen when Abel did the scrying trick).
... Abel stopped Pyro from saying what Alexi had been wearing...
*goes back to the "I hate Abel" phase*
On a more interesting note, I'm starting to see Pyro's whole dragon thing as being a bit more obvious in retrospect. That confidence he always has... it's not clairvoyance, it's just the standard dragon mentality.

someone somewhere in someway will make an answer for it. >.>
But for crying out loud, she brought him tea! Alexsi's so much cooler than before!
ooh! I wonder what dan's sister was wearing...or not.
Judging by Pyro's blush, I would say it's or not!
Well, we can speculate that she won't make a good sacrifice.
Etheir its a giant deal I have no clue yet or Pyro is a perfet scammer and pervert at the sidelines >:3

Wait a minute. Pyroduck is supposedly from the future. He knows a lot about what is going to happen. Did he let Alexsi, with whom he has a relationship, get kidnapped?
And why did Abel cut Pyroduck off?
hmm, I must consult pr0n for the answer... and I do need those tentecle monster refrences...Then agin maybe someone (not me) should ask the APF team what they think.

What, are you saying straight men always want to know the naughty details of someone else's relationship? Would you want to know the details of your friend's romantic relationships, even if you did find their partner attractive? That's just the kind of thing that doesn't need to be said in casual conversation.
Wonder what he meant about the 'not about race' comment.

Given that dragons as a whole don't tend to wear clothing, perhaps they prefer to appreciate the aesthetic of the body with minimal ornamental distractions? After all, we've seen some with jewelry and such, but never pants or shirts.

Nice strip, the discussion you all have, funny, I'm liking this place very much! ^-^
*blinks* Waaaait... Pyroduck asked her out while Dan was at the academy. Dan was at the academy for all of a day or two before being rescued. He's been home apparantly for again all of a day or two before she was kidnapped.
:erk ...Man, those two progressed through their relationship quickly...
I'm sure we are all wondering what, in deed, Pyroduck was going to finish his sentence with had Abel not interupted.
Through the powers of science, alternate dimensions, and photoshop, we have a window into some alternate realities where we may well see what, in fact, Pyroduck was about to say when so rudely interupted.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v33/Dragonne/A-Smile.gif)
(With apologies to Amber for degrading her art through use of .gif format.)
(If Amber, or any other moderator, desires, I will edit my post with a version lacking the third possibility.)
Hmmm... being the clever guy that Pyroduck is, the last option seems entirely/hopefully plausible.
(This is what happens when you mention anything obscurely related to sex on a forum... or anywhere else on the internet. I've seen it on every forum I go to.)
NEW PAGES LOVE ME! :3
Options thought in this thread, but not yet mentioned: thong, fig leaf, princess Leia slave outfit, t-shirt, whip, and full suit of armor. >:3
The hormone levels are skyrocketing...
Interesting detail note: before his transformation, Pyroduck's eyes were white with yellow irises. Now, they're all yellow with black iris-less pupils.
A possible explaination for http://missmab.com/Comics/Vol_598.php has surfaced.
Dan's brain is going to explode once he learns about Pyroduck.
"Pyroduck is a friend, but he is also a dragon, and I hate dragons, but he is a friend...@$% I'm not racist! %$#!"
Sides id be sure Dan's be scarred for life if he catches him and his own sister in..You know...Berry White?!
I'm not sure whether or not Pyro is Dan's friend, considering Dan hates Ducky's attitude, he even tried to assault Pyro the first time they met :<
also, when they got back to Lost Lake Inn, Pyroduck had "hogged" his room >:3
and now, he's a *****en' dragon. Possibly a dragon that he owes money, aswell, as we know that Pyro never loses a bet xD
(edit due to 'mean words :) )

Or niece.
Another possibility, as I don't think that Alexi would probably have moved that fast. Recall, it's only been a few days at most since everything at SAIA, when Pyro first asked her on a date. I personally think that Pyro is doing his own version of emotion-jamming, lying through his sharp teeth and making up a mental image that Abel doesn't want to see.
The thing Im wondering about is Pyro's comment "I owe Dan a great deal" Is is something Dan has already done? Is is some thing he's going to do? if it something he's going to do then could pyro being in the past change that ?
"My advice on temporal paradox's, don't think about them" :erk
Captain Janeway
One other thing is that it stands to reason that Pyro would be attracted to Alexsi in being/small creature form. Anyone here read two kinds? there's a discussion in the forum regarding a woman character who insists she actually a guy.
http://2kinds.com/
I will not comment on the relationship thing that seems to have scrambled everyone else's brains.
I think it's Interesting that Both Abel and Dan owe the Ti'Fiona line a favour.
By the way, the 'shadow' is more likely a silhouette, and Pyro's eyes might be the last thing to change in the transformation. It works nicely, though.

Yes please. I would like a nice wallpaper of Alexsi wearing whatever she was wearing when she brought Pyroduck tea. And if it's naughty, no cheating by putting her in a something like a Muu Muu or a trench coat and saying that she is wearing it underneath. Unless she was wearing a Muu Muu or a trench coat.

He seems bi to me, but he won't tell, so we're not going to find any proof for now. In any case, he's too scared of Alexsi to think of her in that way.

I've had years of experience with time management and I still have trouble with it sometimes, but the biggest secret is learning to predict how long each task will take you and how much energy you'll have after you finish it, and never offering/agreeing to do more than you can. That and planning ahead. And always have some backup plan in case something unexpected happens and you don't manage to do something in time. It may or may not involve muffins.
Interestingly... only one person has come up with the idea that Pyro may well be lying through his teeth in order to distract Abel.
... which, of course, leads one to wonder if he was lying through his teeth when he said he was from the future...
... and, also, if -anything- he says can be taken at face value...
Anyone up for re-reading the entire history, and seeing what he's up to?
QuoteHe seems bi to me, but he won't tell, so we're not going to find any proof for now.
Honestly I'd be a bit disappointed if it came out for certain that he was bi or gay. It would just be a bit too cliched for me, and would make him slightly less interesting as a character. Currently he's a pretty complex personality and I'm not sure we even need any concrete definition for his sexuality. It would just, IMO, be a cop out to go and say he acts the way he does because he likes guys. But what do I know anyway.
Okay, so they do know each other. Splendid!
Now, for to add some gas to the regularly schedualed bonfire of the theories: Could Pyro be spying on Jyrras for the Creature council? Hmm?
Probably not, since it seems like he was around before Kria presented them with a piece of Jyrras' work. Then again who knows. Maybe they already had their eye on Jyrras.
Insane Theory Time!
Here's what I think will happen:
1) Abel will hesitate to tell :mowdan that Pyro is a dragon
2) Abel will be forced via beating by Wildy to teach :mowdan how to morph into a girl
3) When Wildy has left and Pyro is occupied, Abel will spill the beans to :mowdan ielle
4) :mowdan ielle will be predictably ticked off and demand to be switched with Alexsi
5) At the last moment at the wedding, Pyro will burst as a dragon to save "Alexsi"
6) :mowdan ielle will show Pyro that it's him, then slap him for dating his sister
7) Pyro and Alexsi will use the wedding to get married as orderly as possible for this lot

You forgot to add the most important part ... after estimating how long .. *double* it :) (cough and some days even tripple) And an extra special secret when you tell someone else the time frame quadruple it (timex4)
You always look good when you are done early :mwaha
.. Back on topic .. i'm also wondering what Alexi was wearing
*Charline pokes Charles* See? Pyro didn't eat her, and it looks like he's actually falling in love with her. You humans and your speciesism! Just because creatures eat beings, that doesn't mean we can't love!
*Charles sighs and puts away his Acme dragon-slaying kit* I guess you're right. I shouldn't just blame people for being creatures.

It would be weird if Dan's great grandchild does turn out to be their leader though..
But eitherways he's not being entirely truthful, either to Alexi or Abel.

Now, for to add some gas to the regularly schedualed bonfire of the theories: Could Pyro be spying on Jyrras for the Creature council? Hmm?
The question is, which faction? Could they both (Kria and Pyro) be spying - Pyro for the dragons, and Kria for the council as a whole?
Which leads into wondering what's so important that so many people want to keep an eye on it? And what *does* Pyro owe Dan? Nothing that we've seen, and Dan sure as heck didn't know Pyro when they met, so... what's going on? Who's lying? What are they lying about, and why? And what *is* the truth? (you can't handle the truth!)
Should we be worried about what Pyro was talking about? Did he bring Alexsi up in order to throw Abel off the track? Are we all just flapping in the wind until Amber lets us off the hook? Should we be worried about it? :-)
... and that's probably enough questions. Unless I should go and ask them all in the APF thread? :-)
I got this weeeeird theory blasting up into my mind...
What if the whole "Biggs kidnaps Alexsi" is set up by Lex, Mab and Wildy?
Lex doesn't know about Pyro being a dragon, so she doesn't know if Pyro could handle difficult situations. Afterall, I imagine that Lex wants a guy who is able to stand his ground and be, well, a man :)
so they make up this great plot about Lex getting kidnapped by Biggs.
Dan receives this note just as planned, now going bananas and talking about going to rescue her, but Wildy intercepts and tells that it's her privilege to beat up Biggs..
They start arguing and ofcourse Pyro comes to do his usual thing when it comes to arguments :P
Mab comes along and makes a fixed toss of a coin, so Wildy gets to be the leader of the party. At this point, Dan is supposed to be left off the scheme, as Wildy chooses Pyro and Mab to come with her. Mab because she's part of the plot and Pyro because he's the one tested here.
I'm not sure what happens at the Twink Territories, but Pyro seems to notice that something's not right here..
ofcourse, the plot might get messed up due to Pyro having his own affairs going on and Abel showing up at the wrong time. Nobody seems to know that he's a dragon, afterall, save for Abel who might know. Atleast he knows now, if he didn't know it beforehand :U
very far fetched :B
but that would be some very unpredictable twist, huh?
I can't see Mab being in on something like that.
plus I don't think they'd do this right before magizine reporters are due to arive
unless that's part of the plot and isn't really gonna happen :)
But what about Pyro and Alexsi how did this romance got started? :mowdizzy I would like to know what was Alexsi was wearing we she bought tea to Pyro. But that's a typical Male fanboy question. Anywho I think maybe this is the wedding not with Biggs but with Pyro and Alexsi. It all makes sense here *PLOT TWIST* or maybe I'm mad as a hatter here..................
*Charles suspects the saucer people are involved... and perhaps the Rand corporation...* I know they're watching us... :mowdizzy
*eeriely calm British voice* They'll find you, Charles. They're probably on their way now.
*Charles erks* Who? Who's on their way?
*voice* Singing children, Charles. They're riding animals and singing.
*Charles acks!* They're not gonna get me! <.< >.>
And don't you just love the way Dan and Abel's mind-reading powers seem to kick in every time there is a disturbing image of a (probably)nude female in other's heads. :laugh

As for Pyro's clothes- there is a simple(minded) explanation: magic!
But there is something else that bothers me, the fact that Matilda seems to appear competely nude. All other character have some clothing on, even transforming dragons, but not Matilda. I know she looks good enough, but it's still weird.
did you know that the border between X rated and PG rated is a n*****, or two of them. One is enough, I guess.
Amber explained this fact about Matilda before. Somewhen. .. Just try searching for it. :P ;)
Really I didn't know that :tmyk So the clothing is magic then damn Pyro has that spell memorized every time his clothing is ripped apart when he's tranforming into a dragon. But about Maltilda I think in her species and as the way Amber draws her I think it's not an X-rated toon without the n*****s as you think. I know you are right on this one .......
Pyroduck's sudden repentant attitude indicates that he's been a bad bad boy, and Abel was/is more than aware of it. Abel may have reacted the way he did in an actually protective manner. The question remains however: whether Abel knew those intentions because of mind-reading or because of a past relationship. I'm suspecting the latter at this point though.
What I'm curious about is why Pyroduck can possibly feel obligated to Dan. Perhaps it's something that occurs in the future, rather than the past? It gives Pyro a motive to come out of the future I suppose, if that is in fact, the truth.

Dan's impersonating Alexei goes off well, and as a result Lost Lake becomes famous and popular. Pyroduck's mother hears about it and visits, and has an affair with a half-dragon who works the bar there, and Pyro is the happy result of that union. So without Dan, Pyroduck would never have been born.
Also, Pyroduck is his own grandfather, which is a requirement for the time-travel merit badge.

I still say he's probably not really a time traveller. It was probably either when Dan and company helped him get away from Twink territories or something that we haven't seen because it happened during someone elses storyline, Dan didn't know that it was a big deal at the time, and thus never brought it up afterward.
Bill, you obviously haven't seen the image in question.

You're joking, right? :yeahthat
Just because they're the same species doesn't mean they're related. That other dragon was just a cameo as well.
I second that Mana...For once I support ya for abits
it is possible that Pyro thinks he owes Dan because Dan saw "so much trouble" retrieving Lex's hammer from Twink territories, allowing Pyro to accompany them thus resulting in him meeting Lex.
hell, I'd think I owe a great deal to a person if the person in question made it possible for me to meet the woman of my life :)
I still go with the idea that Dan does something in the future, that Pyro holds him gratitude!
that sure would be cool :)
although I don't get the journal.. He claims to be doing documentary, so.. it couldn't be just a personal affair, right?
I still prefer the idea of her wearing something "Non-typical". (A lot of dragons have been known to have eccentric tastes.)
I mean, it could have been a spacesuit, or full Kabuki gear with makeup for all we know. :januscat
Well, as dragons live for many thousands of years, so Pyro could have met Abel and annoyed him during his linear life span in the past, travelled back from the future to repay a debt to Dan, AND marry Alexsi in the present and spawn some weird hybrid with super powers who plays a role in his future! BUT, he could have come from the future when he angered Abel too. We just don't know how many times he's travelled or how far back... if he is indeed a time traveller, which we only have his word for. I have yet to see his TARDIS!
*Alondro hmms* Well, the ring on his tail could be like the Time Ring given to the 4th doctor during the episode "Genesis of the Daleks". Perhaps that's why he's here! Jyrras may be like Davros! He may be planning to create a super mutant race that can conquere all the creatures! He certainly has the technology to do it, and perhaps can even invent shielding to block magical spells. That would explain why the Creature Council is so concerned about his inventions.
*Charline hmms, brow furrowing* A possibility... A much too dangerous possibility... I must do something about that possibility... *plots a way to worm herself into the comic so she can eat Jyrras and remove the threat to creature kind!*

Are you sure that's a shadow and not silhouette?
Quote from: Weleho Rogan on September 22, 2006, 04:54:47 PM
it is possible that Pyro thinks he owes Dan because Dan saw "so much trouble" retrieving Lex's hammer from Twink territories, allowing Pyro to accompany them thus resulting in him meeting Lex.
Nope. Dan pulled a splinter out of the paw of a big brown dragon named Ducky last week and doesn't realize that it's the same creatures as the bear/dog/whatever named Pyroduck.
Quote from: Fresnor on September 22, 2006, 04:23:31 PM
Hmm, I wonder if Pyro is in some way related to a certain dragon that a certain 'cubi owes 10 bucks to... >:3
If all dragons are related then maybe the brownish red dragon in Able's first grade class is Pyro's son and Dan can have a dragon nephew by adoption.
Time Ring possable....
But that dosen't explain the kidnapping of Alexsi if he's the one to be the father of the child that onday saves the planet then when are we getting the arc on this? But it will sometime along the lines maybe very soon we will find out what is Pyro's agenda is. Till then we will wait woth bated breath till the time aroses :batman.......
I can't believe no one has seen it yet. You guys have been dancing around the truth for days now. Well, here it is.
Abel and Pyroduck's past has already been partially revealed. Pyroduck and Abel had a very serious run-in centuries ago. At the time, Pyroduck was in a very dark mood, and had gone so far as to kill several dozen beings. He finally attacked the trio of Abel, Devin and Xander. Abel, seeing the blood of the first two passed out, and was taken for dead. Having survived this, he has been searching for Pyroduck ever since.
Pyroduck was captured by one of Dan's ancestors, and kept in a secret location, abandoning his dragon-form, for generations. Dan and Alexsi somehow convinced him to abandon killing and released him, under the threat that, should he ever misbehave, he would have to face Alexsi's wrath.
*Charline smirks* Well, only problem is those dead beings weren't squashed or mangled beyond recognition. The wounds looked far too small to have been inflicted by a dragon of Pyro's size. And he'd probably have eaten them if he'd killed them.
*Charles* AH-HA!!! So Pyro is an evil being-eater! *drags out the swords and spears*
*Charline face-palms* I said 'if'!
*Charles oh... glumly puts the weapons away again*
does anybody else feel that the phrase "nibbled to death by ducks" shall have new meaning now?
QuoteI remember not more then a year ago i was running for my life from bounty hunters, bandits, trolls.....and now this, id rather have the trolls back
Ducks of the damned!!!
hmm didn't dragons dislike the taste of human flesh?

He could have stayed in puny-mode while he did it, or perhaps it was a precision job. There was a lot of blood and stuff; they looked mangled enough to me. Keep in mind that in dragon shape he could still fit in the basement.
we can't know if he's even bigger in his actual size, afterall, dragons are extremely powerful race, so altering their own size and using magic with pin-point accuracy shouldn't be a problem for the strongest ones. Although some dragon races seem to be so damn stupid it feels like just looking at them kills your braincells :rolleyes
unless they are like humans- no races, only very different single creatures.. but with such a long history behind them, it would seem logical for them to have races. But they live a solitary life.. sooo that'd mean they prolly don't have races.
Also, even as long as the dragon history may be, they might have existed only for a few generations, considering no-one save for dragons knows how long they live :)
And I really hope it's something else that freaked Abel out, not the fact they've met earlier on.
What if Pyro has some psychic powers and Abel just felt someone very powerful in the room, deciding to back off for now. Before he was ready to make his move, Pyro came asking him to transform into a lady /to teach Dan do it.

Whichbrings up some other images
Images which you don't have to make apparent every damn time someone says something.
just shut up shut up :< dragons have always been my favvy fantasy creatures, I don't want their reputation turn upside down just like what happened to navy, indians, bleaschmannn.. and this is a harsh version of it xD
but yeah, I think pretty much every predator prefers sheep cow and pig meat over human meat, as humans have a lot of weird tasting chemicals inside them, plus I heard that humans are one of the filthiest mammal race there is :P

Well whats wrong with dragons loving sheep?
I can picture quite a lovely courtship bewtween them.
I mean I know a rabbit who married a wolf nothing wrong there
I know, but think of the stigma attached. It's terrible to one's image... That stuff's gotta be kept down, no?
I'm still waiting to see just one hippie Dragon personally. An anarchist Dragon that fights for people's rights and stands up for the little people who can't stand up as much as them because they're not quite as tall. The kind of Dragon who'd do his bit for any community and help out people in need.
Sort of like a Dragon Kevin Sorbo, then.
I just think that Dragons are conditioned whilst young in order to not think like that, so they actually can't think like that. There're no real exceptions and it's a shame. Pyro might be an exception, he might be a rebel! Then again, he might not be, one never knows.
Still, I can dream. I like conception breakers.
Well, we know two things about dragons and Pyro that you guys in particular probably should've caught on before:
a) They flaunt what they've got
b) They're cheeeeeeeaters!
I think Pyro is a cool Dragon and he could do things we at DMFA cannot do. So who we have the right to judge Pyro. But until we get the full story about it. We will Speculate more till our face is blue............
That's pretty much standard about Dragons, Ari. It's the nature of near omnipotent beings, sadly. Dragons and Gods alike. That's why I'm rather disappointed that we've never seen a really nice Dragon.
One day, I'm going to see a Dragon walk up to a Warlord and say; Dude, your bad karma is spilling out all over the countryside, you're like, so uncool. Lay back on the negativity, okay? Embrace the love, it's all around you. before wandering off without killing, harming or influencing anyone or anything.
When that happens, it'll be a real turning point for the Universe. It'll break one of the longest standing historic memes.
ahhh.. you should read The Dark Lord of Derkholm :)

:yeahthat
Well put I couldn't say it better myself. But as you look at it the Dragons depending on the characters is how they act towards people in general. But :meh that's me here...................
Well so far we haven't got any proof of Pyroduck being violent in any way, but I'd be disappointed if my favourite character on DMFA turned out to be a pacifist :<
But due to Pyro's current mission to recon about beings and creatures living in harmony /to some extent) he might want to refrain from violence. And that could be why he feels uneasy when he's asked to do things.
What would be so bad about being a pacifist? It takes an admerable degree of self control.
it's bad as being a pacifist is being a racist.
depends on what kind of pacifist is being talked about here.
That will be cool but I would like Pyro to be kicking ass and taking down names. Sort of the Wolverine type of personality. But hey what do I know about it I'm just a geek here...................
I think of Pyro as someone who feels that he's responsible. Very responsible.
Of what? everything.
but still he seems to doubt if he's able to stop certain things from happening, as it seems that something that doesn't go along with his plans is gonna happen and he thinks that he might need to hurt someone.
He might not enjoy hurting others..
... but he'll go ahead and do it anyway, if that's what it takes to bring his plan about?
Till then I want violence *chants violence constantly* Who's with me?
I hope not. Pacifist is the magic word for me and if Pyro is such a person, then it'd be grand.
Admittedly though, Furrae already has a pacifist, Aliyka, and I love her dearly. I wish I had the ability to get people stoned purely by the power of peaceful proposition and persuasion.
I could live without the stoning, myself. I -am- impressed by her ability to redirect the mows, however...

there just seems to be something.. wrong.. with pacifists.
ofcourse, refraining from killing anyone is all ok with me.. but choosing not to kill when it's the only option to survive and see another day.. that would be just wrong.
The reason why I don't have good thoughts about pacifists is that pacifists are cheaters :<
afterall, people kill an uncountable amount of other living things during their course of life.
Refraining from killing your own species is all ok with me, but I get sick when I see people who wouldn't defend themselves if it meant that they'd need to kill someone. It just plain goes against the "survival of the fittest" :tired
I'm so very confused when it comes to pacifists, as I think that most of pacifists just fake it to avoid something.
Also I can't see where the "pacifist needs a strong will" comes from, since when have you needed a strong will to refrain from doing something you don't want to do? :)
Not nice to say that, but it's a question that'll bugger me forever unless I get answer outta somewehre, might aswell start asking here :3

Iono, it's all about moral high-ground really. What's more important, who you are or your material existance? For some people, that's a much more difficult question than it is for others.

I believe the difference with pacifists is intent.
Quote from: Weleho Rogan on September 23, 2006, 07:08:54 PMIt just plain goes against the "survival of the fittest" :tired
Which is pretty much just an idea invented by Nietzche and folks similar to him. There are lots of different ideas out there and everyone is welcome to their own ideological methods, of course.
In practice, nature is a very complex thing and survival of the fittest isn't the only rule that I see. There are creatures (symbiotic creatures, for example) that manage to live quite peacefully without killing or really harming anything or dying themselves.

Objectively, it's hard to say what motivation each person might have but as I've said, when it comes to the cruncch, it's all just a bunch of ideas. Raising the roof, that's pretty much what humanity is.

I think it comes from the idea that if one has an enemy, their enemy is a threat to them. If one kills their enemy, one is granted an easier life by removing the threat. If one allows their enemy to live, it means that the threat will always exist and will therefore always loom over them. That makes life very difficult for a pacifist, one would imagine.

Just my thoughts on the matter, I'm a philosophical sort and I couldn't avoid this one. It called to me. :/
And now I feel all anal for using quotes ... <.<
Well we never know. *And Knowing is half the Battle GI-Joe!!!!!!!*
And now I have the theme to Extreme Heroes stuck in my head.
X-TREEEEEEEM *Guitar riff.*

I have the remedy *sucks music through your brain with a straw* mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm chocolate........
Good luck with that, I don't think there's anything in there!
* Rowne demonstrates this by partaking in his favourite party trick of feeding an industrial girder between his ears.
Zoop!
This, of course, explains a lot. I'm also reminded of Spock, all we need now is a remote control that makes cheap clockwork clicking noises.
Even the Doctor had to admit that the Daleks had to be destroyed! ;)
When you face an enemy of pure malevolent intent, pacifism is only the best way to ensure you get yourself wiped out. Someone must fight the enemy, so that the pacifists can live to protest war. A rather odd little set-up, that is. :3
But you can't help by destroying a few things explosions etc. Then you have a party *yeahhhhhhhhhhhh* *explosion heard in the background*.......................

OK, first off There is no form of defense that requires you to kill another being needlessly... unless you happen to be Allah's Bitch and that's another matter entirely.
Secondly, if you go back far enough in history every Race and Religious affiliation has at some point been at the mercy of another Race or religious affiliation.
The Ideal behind true pacifism has been lost. Pacifism was used as a form of protest in the south, people where "trained" specifically not to react while being brutalized and humiliated in public Venues that they were not allowed to be seen, so that people in the communities and the world over could see what was going on was wrong. By not fight fighting back they justified their existence by proving they were not animals and above the animosity around them. They where considered undesirables in a Eugenic society and were to be considered only ¾ human by the society around them.
And so we are clear I am a Capitalist and a Conscientious Objector, not a pacifist.

While we're on the subject of GI joe... I was in a busness class last year in college and almost everyone includeing myself responded to something the teacher said with "and knowing is half the battle!"
It was actually quite creepy and even the teacher was shocked for a moment. She said we scared her, I started to wonder about Subliminal conditioning and then I couldn't even remember what the teacher had said a few hours later.
Alondro: I understand that.
I'm not really a good enough person to uphold the tenets of pacifism (or anarchism) myself, even though I do try. I was basically just shedding light on the modern pacifistic view. I'm not Vash, I haven't figured it all out yet. Someday I might but I was mainly speaking ideologies.
Oh and destroyed is such a subjective word, the Daleks could be destroyed by being regressed to the peoples they were before Daleks came into existance. If given the option to 'destroy' the Daleks, I'm sure he would. The problem is that marketing sells a lot of Dalek crap so they won't let him.

Yeah, really. You should have been watching Rocko's Modern Life, Ren and Stimpy and Duckman.
you and your cable :P
In my day, we didn't have cable, we had rocks. and not even multi colored rocks like you get now adays. no-sir, we had black rocks, and you had to use your imagination. and we liked it that way.
(our house didn't have cable, so I could only watch cable when I was sick and got to go to grandma's house for the day instead of going to school. watching david the gnome on Nickelodeon, which was a better class of show than you get on cable now adays :laugh )
You've got a point. Network TV cartoons led by Hanna-Barbera single handedly destroyed animation in the U.S. Starting around 1960, the non-violent, politically correct, writen-for-preschooler cartoons took over for more than 30 years. Cartoons used to be written for adults as well as kids back in the 30's and 40's. Some of those old WB and MGM cartoons are banned or heavily censored even now. Hanna-Barbera made me sick, even (gasp) Scooby-Doo. The cable networks came along and saved us from that, and lo, the Horror that was Hanna-Barbera was crushed and is no more.
On the other hand, stuff like Ren and Stimpy and (especially) Duckman was simply not for kids. I watch some of the older episodes these days and I pick up on a lot more than I did back then, but all I was really absorbing in my youth was retarded crap. Rocko's modern life, while a great show, had a lot of adultish stuff that makes you wonder how the hell it got passed censors (and some of it didn't, as your page shows).
I think we've come a long way with animation and these days it's a good balance, though the asian influence is sort've boring after awhile.

some stuff changed later on as censors cuaght on
in the first season the resteruant they went to was called Chokey Chicken, in latter seasons it was named chewy chicken. then there was the eps when spunky fell in love with a mop... some of the noises were fairly sugestive and the white puddle under the mop head was just shocking
Scooby Doo ain't that PC at all- it's pro drug :laugh

Oh god...Not the HB GB...They didnt even do much XD
I think the evidence given proves that RML isn't for kids... Or most of it's humor will be lost on them.
RML was never for the kiddys..More like Teens or young adults
*Charles quips* I watched RML when I was a kid! Now I'm a furry... *puts on ears and a tail and runs around in a circle*
*Charline points at parents* Don't let this happen to your children! Watch something safe and wholesome! Like South Park... >:3
I was around that point ot see that show RML . It's very cool and dangerous in that time, but thats the appeal then I think in my own opinion that these show goes away when the appeal no longer is appealing anymore.....
RML didn't "go away because it wasn't appealing anymore", it went away because Nickelodeon wanted to add characters, make changes, and generally interfere with the show's creators. Rather than go along with changes that would have destroyed it, they ended their relationship with Nickelodeon before that happened. It wasn't some "cool and dangerous show for that time", filled with dated pop-culture references or attempts at shock value, it was a show with excellent writing, characters with depth and humanity, and timeless and univeral appeal.
*Charles nods!* Just like "Cow and Chicken"! There was lots of humanity in that! At least, people were always crying out "Oh the humanity!" whenever they watched it... :B
"Cow and Chicken" is a good example. Hanna-Barbera's last gasp, and appropriately, a rip-off of Ren and Stimpy with none of the good qualities of the original. Ren and Stimpy, may not have been the most intellectually edifying work, and tended to have a lot of booger and fart jokes, but they never caved in to political-correctness or avoided violence when it was ACTUALLY FUNNY. Plus, I don't think there has ever been a cartoon series that had the level of emotional intensity. Yes, Ren and Stimpy were stupid, but they were stupid in such an honest and believable way that you couldn't help but love them.

Same here that's why we love them as teens till we are adults. Memories that never fades very cool very cool indeed..................
Then there's some shows that are better off remaining memories... UPN apaprently aquired the rights to show the smurfs, and they run it in the mornings. I didn't remember them being that bad.
Oh yes very bad. OOOkay it reminds of me getting all medevil on them. Let go somewhere to plan a strategy to kill those blue b***ards.................
"Papa Smurf has a ****ing beard! They're mammals!"
I also remember the discussion on Smurfette in Donny Darko.
*Charles winks* Oh, there was some drug-culture in the Smurfs! They all lived in MUSHROOMS and the Smurfs were BLUE... Blue Mushrooms! And they were always dancing around singing like they were on some sort of acid trip. Yep, the Smurfs were all about drugs. :)
Yes defently mostly any toon in 70's had a retrospect of any use of anything..Though that didnt stop the creator making the Snorks at the same time...Sushi anyone? >:3

*Charles winks* Oh, there was some drug-culture in the Smurfs! They all lived in MUSHROOMS and the Smurfs were BLUE... Blue Mushrooms! And they were always dancing around singing like they were on some sort of acid trip. Yep, the Smurfs were all about drugs. :)

Bah! Muscular Beaver is nothing more than a pale, sanitized imitation of capitalist oppressor stereotypes!
For a true Hero Of The People, look no further than Stump! From his dirt-poor origins, to struggling among saps before taking root in show business, there can be no better success story to tell.
His performances were anything but wooden, and throughout the series, it was easy to see the rate at which his general acting ability grew and blossomed, and while Angry Beavers has been cancelled, it is easy to se that he has more thn enough ability to branch out into other fields.
Are we talking about Al Gore here can't get any wooden than that :laugh :laugh :laugh :laugh.....................

One of my favorites:

I really want RGB on a DVD box set. Why they haven't made that yet is beyond me.
I think the villian I liked most from gostbusters was Samhian
he was cool

No box sets, just a few random (and small) episode collections. Much like what they did with the VHS editions at least a decade ago (probably even longer than that).
On the topic of old cartoons... anyone here remember Mysterious Cities of Gold?
Gah its in my head now..GIant...Golden..bird!
I remember that... it was a sort of solar-powered aircraft,, If I remember right.
But how is gold solar powered? :erk
Ancient magical technology... or something like that...
Was that on cable? I don't remember this show.............
*sings* "Children of the sun see your time has just begun searching for your ways through adventure every day. Every day and night, with the Condor in flight, with all your friends in tow, search for the cities of gold.... Aaaaaa aaahaaahaaahaa..."
But yeah, that was a fun and weird show. Though I'm still not sure why the ancient fusion reactor (ie, the "Sun Power" device, would go wonky without its "control vase" (or whatever) inside)

Dun remember what chans it was on. I do know originally it was created as a result of some collaboration between French and Japanese animators, or something. Basic theme: 16th century. Spanish explorers are seeking El Dorado.
But under all the Mayan stuff is remenants of tech from some sort of advanced civilization (The Heva Empire)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LbVNZ-cghz0 Is this show? And plus the high notes are abit trippy and annoying!

Yep... that'd be the show in question.
how can they be trippy and annoying? there's nothing wrong at all.. o.O
I ment its good and bad at the same time..Cause the theme is stuck in my head
I think the technology in the show is based on "the Ancient Astronaut" myth/theory..
Seek out for "The Chariot of Gods" ;)
You know Im into anime for a very long time and this is only show I have not sen it hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.........
Chariots of gods has nothing to do with anime, really, it's just a theory made by Eirch von Däniken, that Mayans had technology to travel in space/ saw UFOs.
I am personally skeptical about this theory, as it has been proven false many times :)
BUT it still provides a GREAT base to build civilizations into fantasy stories, environments and such. A good example would be Flight of the Amazon Queen (old adventure game, I think it's a free download to use with ScummVM emulator nowadays) and Rise of Legends. In Rise of Legends there's this civilization that is called "Cuotl" and it seems to be based on the "ancient astronaut" theory.
Faith would be a power source that feeds higher beings? It has been in games and so far I've always enjoyed the idea. Even in Bible the people of Babylon attempted to rise into skies, so I think that there's always been people who hope to "overthrow gods" ever since the first religions came into existence.
Oh come on. The only thing Flight of the Amazon Queen had was a robot. Otherwise it was boobs.

If you ask me, boobs and robots constitute an incredibly vivid world, and a must-play gaming experience.
That must be a really lucid game
boobs :erk wth are you talkin' about? :B
there was a rocket chair, a power shield and all those nice uber-traps working on solar power :)

Yeah, until I had found fan sites online, the only thing that reassured me that I didn't hallucinate the whole thing was that my mom remembers me watching that show when I was younger.

I think the myth of this if you go to my home country in Peru South America go to Inca and rent a plane tour and see the lines of Inca there are very large pictographs of monkey, whales, a person. You could only see in the sky it was done thousands of years ago how do they did this I have no idea mystery? Who knows we will never know...................
