Ok, two things.

1) Living in Britain, as Legion would know, drives your tolerance towards the Crazy Frog down highway 0. Rest assured a crusade will be held against him to stop this game from ever being released

2) Stop going all PP&R on us.

Yeah, religious discussion is best left to the debate forums. I'm not in for it to try to explain why the literary logic of the average 13 year old Nintendo fan isn't going to challenge the structure of one to zero. Then again, here's likely the only situation you're going to find me behaving myself in the face of similar matters... The PP&R is really just a playground for the worldly disenfrachised.

I'd just like to remind Koga that it's impossible to have less than nothing. The loss of good provides the image of evil. But once there is nothing left to lose, you have simply that. Nothing.

Of course, from an objective standpoint, it would be possible to have an evil being by relative means. But once there is nothing left to oppose, you are without a means to tell that it was ever against anything. This just leaves you with the notion that it is for itself, not in spite of the will of another.

Just because it's an interesting discussion, and since AI directly adressed me: some people believe there is a god, but no devil. That doesn't mean there's no evil. So I think there could be a devil without a god. Purely theoretical of course, since I don't believ either exist.

Anyway, I don't think something 'evil' must have a devil behind it, and I don't think a devil needs a good counterpart per se.

Good and evil is really in the eye of the beholder; I don't think any terrorist thinks he is doing something evil.

What the funk: I'm moving this to PP&R. This is hardly related to Nintendo anyway.

Winnie the Pooh is an absolute good before you understand what evil is.

Argument over.

Attention British people:

Please stop supporting CrazyFrog before it gets over here. We already have enough obnoxious cellphone ringer scam commercials that come on every other commercial break and we don't need that obnoxious thing.

Thanks,
A concerned Yank

According to pretty much every RPG out there, the world is always in danger of having only evil and no good.

About the move to the PP+R forum... I personally think this topic is too humorous to be put into this forum, but we'll see how it goes.

Honestly, I leave you lot alone for five minutes, and you've already managed to get this into the debate forums? [img]tongue.gif[/img]

I have to say, for a topic about Crazy Frog on GBA, you've done pretty well.

Lurch, I'm sorry that I have to say that Crazy Frog is outselling the new Coldplay single 4 to 1.

Incorrect. God and Satan are NOT extreme opposites. God created Satan and gave him the choice of evil or good. Since God created him, He's more powerful. Basically, according to Christian theology, God is just giving Satan a (relatively) short time for him and his demons to tempt humanity before He shows up at Armageddon and starts kicking *** and taking names. </font>[/quote]Unless you're chinese and belive in buddahs.

Going a little bit off topic here.

Remember when we were talking about the AYB fad?

Why are you sorry? It's not your fault Coldplay stinks.

And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"

I think Coldplay are one of the few bands of the moment. Also it's the number 2, which would've been number one if it weren't for that bleeding Crazy Frog. And I think any artist deserves to beat a ringtone to the number one spot.

Sounds like the taste over there is pretty frightening. Ring tone songs and Coldplay on the top? Ech.

Coldplay ain't bad, they're just too preachy and trying too hard to be Radiohead.

Yeah, next thing you know they'll have stop-animation music videos. Still, not too bad at all. :0
