Forum Overview :: Mass Effect :: Re: You used the movie to illustrate your opinions on Halo

[quote name="Fortinbras"][quote name="Lizard_King"]and not because you were looking for serious contrast. The results of that were obviously not predictable (to you), but they were inevitable. My concern was that you were making a comparison out of ignorance of Verhoeven's intentions with the movie (under the unfortunate possibility that you were that guy who was upset that it didn't bring Heinlein's wet dream the proper dignity). Your subsequent posts vaguely defending the book and tiptoeing around being critical of the movie are not helping with that impression. Alternatively, we could go into the reasons you find Heinlein's ST interesting and fun rather than ridiculous. You seem like you're not a retard, lay it on me. [/quote] At every turn so far you've either told me I'm a closeted fascist [quote]Or, put another way, people that have the sort of simplistic admiration for the Roman republic that you appear to be demonstrating really don't understand what their place in that hierarchy would have been. I expect now you'll transition non-confrontationally to illustrating how pleasant a slave's existence really was back then. [/quote] or an intellectual lightweight. That's why I've just been responding with "I like it". Why the hell would I want to try and explain anything to you?[/quote]
