--- Quote from: Howard_Casto on November 04, 2015, 03:06:05 pm ---If you are paying any attention to the news at all, it should be apparent that violence DOES NOT WORK against these nuts. It's like trying to squash out an entire anthill one ant at a time. So the solution? You do the bare minimum in offensive moves and build a stronger defense. Eventually they will die off on their own because that level of fanaticism/lunacy isn't sustainable. --- End quote --- As dkersten stated, that doesn't work. People aren't static. They reproduce, and when ideology is entrenched in a society, and that ideology include heinous acts of violence, it is passed on to the offspring. It is sustainable because we, as part of nature, always find a way. And the anthill analogy is a bit odd. I'm not sure how you deal with an anthill, but it sounds like you would advocate constant patrol of the perimeter with a magnifying glass on sunny days :). No, you deal with an anthill by soaking it in a flammable substance, burning it out, digging up what's left and doing it again. You go after the queen, and deal with the stragglers as necessary. Otherwise, it just comes back. --- Quote ---By your own logic the only way to get rid of evil is to kill evil off, the only problem is if you go to the same extremes as the evil, then you are evil. So if we go with your logic then it is impossible for good to win. Sorry but I'm more of an optimist than that. --- End quote --- Reality always trumps optimism. The effects of reality are a constant. Optimism can help to change the nature of reality, but on it's own it has little, if any, weight in a situation. It's neither possible, nor impossible for good to win. What is "good" is merely a concept. As humans, we assign specific criteria to both good and evil, and they usually end up being related to personal or societal, needs, desires and beliefs. When these opposing desires meet in conflict, it can be said that both good and evil always win. They also always lose. Your statement also paints police and military organizations as "evil", or at least on par with those who perpetrate your version of it. Without these organizations as part of "peaceful" society, chaos would reign supreme. It's no accident that Rick, the primary focus of the show, was in law enforcement. He represents what is necessary for a civil society to exist, and that doesn't mean he must remain "civil" at all times in supporting the endeavor. It simply means that he must operate within accepted boundaries. |

So, is tomorrow nights show going to be about Rick getting out of the RV? Or is it going to be another walk about episode? |

Horrible episode with nothing but commercials and soap opera ---That which is odiferous and causeth plants to grow---. Glenn's character deserved a better end then this ---That which is odiferous and causeth plants to grow---. And he better be dead, if you took his name out of the credits only to have him miraculously survive you are the biggest ---punks--- in television that have resorted to trolling the audience instead of writing compelling material. I seriously am at the point of abandoning this ---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- show. |

I can't really get that upset because I saw this coming but.... I thought initially that Glenn's ambiguous fate might have been an accident on the part of the production staff but after seeing tonights show.... nope it was engineered. That whole little speech with Maggie about how they don't get to know what happened to Glenn... that was directed towards the audience. It was kind of a dickish thing to say at that. The last minute line about a pregnancy was b.s. as well... it just gave them a cop-out to keep the show somewhat inline with the comics if they kill Glenn off. I'm pretty sure he's dead now, but we can tally him up with Otis, Dale, Hershel and nearly all of the rest as implausible and totally illogical death #369. Intestines don't come out of your chest and one guy shooting himself next to you doesn't make you trip and fall in after him. Also notice the fence, and the fire escape and how they don't even attempt to make it to either. |

Did I miss how Rick got out of that RV, ran a good distance with thousands of walkers behind him, and even some trying to intercept him? So is Rick going to hook up with the blonde and even win over her son who hated him? Is the girl who Carl had a crush on gone? Is Glenn gone? And what about Michone? Tune in tomorrow for the next episode of As The Walkers Turn. Yep, soap opera. This show needs to change its direction. Or it may be time to end it as the whole group turning into walkers. |
