It's worth reading up on this if you think I'm overreacting.

Those statements are all correct.

The only lasting peace can be found with annihilation of the opposition. Freedom is an illusion and the pursuit of it enslaves beliefs. And knowledge leads ultimately to two conclusions: Divine intent or lack of purpose - both of which are soul destroying concepts.

There's no double-think about it.

It's just understanding that in any system you can achieve parallels and opposites of any idea by adjusting the scope away from the one used in the initial demonstration.

Freedom is a perfect example: Every man has the right to choose his own destiny - so long as he doesn't affect the freedom of others.

Extend the scope: Every man has the right to choose his own destiny, so long as it only affects him.

Extend it again: Do as you please, but affect no external changes.

Extend it finally: Conform.

Where's the freedom in that?

I kind of like your sig Maeglamor. "God, please save me from your followers."
True in every sense of the words.

I can no longer sit back and allow communist infiltration, communist indoctrination, communist subversion, and the international communist conspiracy to sap and impurify all of our precious bodily fluids.

I agree. Let's wear banana costumes and chant "Evoe!" while performing fellatio on an upside-down crucifix.

If you a nihilist, you don't believe in anything, not even nihilism.

it works untill you try to analyse it then it all falls apart. oversimplifying a complex philosophy is why the world sucks.

and who the f*** is darth nihilus?!?!? in all my knoledge of starwars i cannot find a nihilist sith. infact i find the entire concept offensive. voidance (nothing) != negitivity (the negative dark side).

There are no complex philosophies. In fact, all philosophies are purely man made. I would say that not oversimplifying the comlex, but rather overcomplicating the simple is "why the world sucks". That, and the fact that all women are not supermodels.

oh and AFAIK Darth Nihilus is the Sith villain in Episode 3.

You do all know the Euro has this technology in it, and that those sensors at the doors of most large companies in Europe can track your notes as you walk through the door?

It's one of my main arguments against having he Euro in the UK.
