So in other words, you're saying that Qin's war was bad simply because it wasn't followed by other wars? That if he'd been a little less successful in uniting China, his bloody regime would have been a good thing, in the long run?

Actually no, which you already know, since we've been discussing this via email.  It appears as though you're just trying to cause trouble, and for that I say: shame on you sir!  Shame shame shame.

Anyway, I only added that second post because I thought it was interesting that Qin's decisions had such a profound and lasting effect.  It certainly doesn't change anything about the decision itself.

(Perhaps that's your problem, Fell.  You're looking solely at consequences and not at choices--and here you're trying to discredit me by looking at consequences thousands of years down the line.)

Jerkface.

I'm rubber, you're glue.

I think that you need to lay down your sword.  And let me stab you in the belly.

But then you'll just keep asking why I didn't block you, and then you'll cry, and wah wah wah.

But I'll only cry for a little while and then I realize that you're dead, and life goes on.  Wasn't that the whole moral of the show?

No, because the only three people who learned something new in the movie ended up dead.

so the point of the movie is that people who learn stuff die? oo... I'll have to stop learning then.

I was kidding, actually.  That's NOT the point of the movie.

And Qin learned something, and lived.

Here's a question:  Who does the title refer to?

Dawn and I decided that it referred to most of the charcters, in oneway or another. Speaking of which, does "Return of the Jedi" refer to Luke or Anakin? Or both?

I would say it means just as a whole, the jedi are back.
