Ah well, my bad than. And yeah, the 90s had a short of EXTREME phase where a lot of cartoons followed that style. By the way, you can say about Megaman what ever you want, but the German intro was miles better than the others.

Germans and electric music. A true lovestory.



I am sure the people of the 90s also said that the 80s had the best cartoons. Good thing is, if you grew up in the 90s you also saw the ones of the 80s! Talking about extreme stuff, I am sure you also Remember the Bikermice from Mars!

Hell yeah, Bikermice from Mars were rad as hell. I'm honestly amazed how some stuff got greenlighted back then...
Step 1: Pick an animal.
Step 2: MAKE IT EXTREME!
Step 3: Your show's done, congratulations.
 
Never liked those "Pizzas and Rock and Roll" type of shows. Didn't even like the Ninja Turtles or Biker Mice from Mars.

I do not consider myself to be either nihilistic or cynical, or even fatalistic, the first two don't care about anything, I do, and it distresses me to realize that reality is most likely something as I have descirbed. The last ones, the fatalistics, are not interested in finding aswers because they already decided what the truth is, I haven't. I mean, if there was nothing to life but being born, reproducing, maybe leaving some type of futile "legacy" behind and then dying, what is the point of it all? This does not mean I gave up living, as I intend to spend up to the last minute of my life trying to find a satisfying answer. Knowing that there are "unknown" things is not good enough, as I will be trying to know them and find an explanation anyway.

And no, just living not wondering about the fundamental questions is not good enough. I've been dealt a loosing hand no matter what I do and without even asking for it and I want to know why.
 
As I have my morning coffee (afternoon actually) I read the news to find some interesting topics...

I am interested to learn more about the United States involvement in the region. Are they are attracted to the oil reserves? I would assume so. I know they don't want a strong Russian presence there at least. Russia has some influence in the area, but I am rather uninformed on that topic, the geopolitical climate, and recent developments.

I am thinking that the US is trying to move in on the area, more so than before, much like they attempted with Cuba. Admittedly as I said I don't know enough to make such statements and present them as facts, but we know the US has placed "puppet" leaders into various countries, continues to do so, and may have tried to do that again, which brings up the next question; Is this going on in the Ukraine? It certainly seems to be. I see these conflicts and think of MGS to some extent. The talk of proxy wars being the main influence. These events seem to be "marketed" as being about democracy, but I'm not sure that is the primary motivation. It feels like rhetoric for the masses.

I know the US does this with the Middle East as well. It seems to be fairly transparent. Iraq comes to mind immediately. We seem to be greatly interested in Lebanon, Syria, Iran, and Pakistan. It is easy to see why with various allies in the region. I have no doubt that the United States strong-arms their way into certain areas to control the development of countries, destabilizing those who pose a threat, positioning the pieces for the inevitable Great War of the future. Who else has military bases all over the world, in such large numbers?

Are these thoughts unfounded? I have read a bit on geopolitics, the motivations of countries extending their sphere of influence, potential hot spots for conflict in the future, so on and so forth. I feel as if the imperialistic phases we went through in the past never really stopped. I have believed this for some time, but as I said before, I don't feel I know enough to claim this to be true. I know Russia is doing what they think best for their country, or at least Putin is anyway. I am attempting to see things from other countries points of view, outside the bubble that surrounds the United States, but I am finding it difficult to differentiate the truth from the bullshit. There are so many agendas at play here, when regards to media, as I am sure it is elsewhere across the world, especially in Russia and their state controlled media. I think the US does the same thing, although they are less obvious about it.

I really don't have a point in this wall of text. My main purpose is seeing what you think of the subject.
 
Yeah, let's not do that. Shooting shit is one hting, but if we start actively making this political it will surely turn into another crap fest like before.
 
Yes let's go back to how those teenage talking "radical" animal shows were dumb, and how Beast Wars was the best Transformers series ever.
 
Here fuckers, some sweet music that will make you feel better.

Not my cup of tea. Plus there is another tthread for that :P ;)

You want to switch from politics? Whenever I deam and I need to write something in the dream I find it almost impossible to write down the simplest things. Has that ever happened to you?
 
Politics is fine. I mean, TALKING about it, Not it, itself. But what happened "elsewhere" was NOT mere discussion of politics. If it was, it would've been much more like what we have had here thus far. What happened before was something very different. I think it's totally fine if we decide to discuss some more politics here, and clearly so does Toront, since he keeps bringing it up. The problem is just making sure the same mistakes aren't repeated. And for those who are having trouble following along, I'm saying no douchebags.
 
Maybe this suits you more, Gonzo? I am kinda in love with that music for now.

Click to expand...

Dreams are weird in that respect. It's a common dream-sign that simple things don't work properly in dreams. Lightswitches, for example. I can't remember if I have ever tried to write down something in a dream, though.
