Did you CHOOSE your religion or were you born into it?

James72 @James72 (26790) • Australia 10 Jul 08

Regardless of whether you practice it or not; did you exercise the free will that God ultimately gave us all; and make your own personal decision regarding what religion you fall under or practice? Or did you enter the religion...

astw56 I am a Jew, born into a Jewish family, and have been proud of it since I was old enough to understand what was going on. I love my religion, its history, its stories, its purpose. I appreciate its openness (i.e. the Noachide Laws, which are 7 laws for being a...

astw56 CT has the m4 and the usp which are both awesome guns, however I think terrorists actually have the advantage in scenarios. A CT without a defuse kit has a much harder time defusing, and I've seen plenty of idiots who don't buy the kit. Also, defending the...

Wow...I know, I'm woefully behind. I've been meaing to read Ender's Game and the rest of the Ender books for ages and ages, but somehow, I never got around to them. Well...I recently got reminded of them when XM Sonic Theater...

astw56 I noticed you mentioned EG, Speaker, and Children of the Mind... I hope you didn't accidentally skip Xenocide, book 3 of the series. Also, if you haven't gotten to them, the Shadow series was more along the style of Ender's Game, and those were also...

astw56 I personally enjoy the... realness, of the people, yes people, in the stories. They're not just characters in the stories, they're real people. OSC has the incredible ability to flesh them out until you can see yourself in them, you know how they think, how...

Ender's Game Series: Your Favorite Book.

udayhase @udayhase (173) • United States 29 Nov 06

What book did you like in the Ender's Game Series? Did you prefer the original story of Ender, or of little Bean? Maybe Achilles? Or the grown-up Ender and the piggies? Which book did you like the best? Why?

astw56 I personally favor either Ender's Game or Ender's Shadow as the best book, but Speaker is a close runner-up.

Ender's Game

Drumman @Drumman (305) • United States 4 Sep 07

I read a book called Ender's Game and I heard they were making a movie about it. I'm more excited about this movie than I ever have been about any movie with the exception of maybe the Star Wars prequels. The thing is, I've been...

astw56 I've heard about the movie, I've heard numerous rumors. I seriously wonder if it will ever happen, however I'd rather they not rush it. Because the book was absolutely incredible, and it'd be an utter shame to put it to waste by making a poor movie. On the...

Fillers in anime: how do you feel about them?

Cley_CJ @Cley_CJ (105) • Malaysia 8 Jul 08

Filler episodes, just like what the name means, are episodes that fill up anime episodes, either to join two different arcs, to lengthen the story or like the ones in bleach & naruto to allow the source manga advance further. How...

astw56 If they are only rare episodes, then I can handle it, but when they go on a parade, putting on more than one every few months, it starts getting really irritating. I'm watching the show for the story, not to sit around watching something pointless.
