I love you, I love you, Oh yes I love you
Nor do I
Oh my love
Like the wave, irresolute
I go, I go and I come, Inside you my love
I go and I come, Inside you my love
And then I hold on

I love you, I love you, Oh Yes I love you
Nor do I
You are the wave, And I the naked island
You go, you go and you come, inside me me love
you go and you come inside me my love
and then we are one

I love you, I love you, Oh yes I love you
Nor do I
Oh my love
Like the wave, irresolute
I go, i go and I come, Inside you my love
I go and I come, Inside you my love
And then I hold on

I love, I love you my love, Inside me my love
I love you my love, Deep inside me my love
And then we are one

I love you, I love you, Oh yes I love
Nor do I
Oh my love
Physical love is a dead end
I go, I go and I come, Inside you my love
I go and I come
And I hold on

No. Now...come

And the lamb lies down on Broadway.

Early morning Manhattan,
Ocean winds blow on the land.
The Movie-Palace is now undone,
The all-night watchmen have had their fun.
Sleeping cheaply on the midnight show,
It's the same old ending-time to go.
Get out!
It seems they cannot leave their dream.
There's something moving in the sidewalk steam,
And the lamb lies down on Broadway.

Nightime's flyers feel their pains.
Drugstore takes down the chains.
Metal motion comes in bursts,
But the gas station can quench that thirst.
Suspension cracked on unmade road
The trucker's eyes read 'Overload'
And out on the subway,
Rael Imperial Aerosol Kid
Exits into daylight, spraygun hid,
And the lamb lies down on Broadway.

The lamb seems right out of place,
Yet the Broadway street scene finds a focus in its face.
Somehow it's lying there,
Brings a stillness to the air.
Though man-made light, at night is very bright,
There's no whitewash victim,
As the neons dim, to the coat of white.
Rael Imperial Aerosol Kid,
Wipes his gun-he's forgotten what he did,
And the lamb lies down on Broadway.

Suzanne tired her work all done,
Thinks money-honey-be on-neon.
Cabman's velvet glove sounds the horn
And the sawdust king spits out his scorn.
Wonder women draw your blind!
Don't look at me! I'm not your kind.
I'm Rael!
Something inside me has just begun,
Lord knows what I have done,
And the lamb lies down on Broadway.
On Broadway-
They say the lights are always bright on Broadway.
They say there's always magic in the air.

i agree, although i've been trying desperately to find the video clip where coop says "i want you inside me... what? oh hey, whats up." when i first saw that part i think i busted a kidney laughing

In reply to this comment by bamdrew:
this whole side plot, with the corresponding motorcycle chase-scene,and the later chase-scene where they're wrecking the clinic trying to find him, are probably my favorite parts of this ridiculous movie.

*nsfw

A great example of a story being carried by incredible voice acting...

Shodan: Look at you, hacker: a pathetic creature of meat and bone, panting and sweating as you run through my corridors. How can you challenge a perfect, immortal machine?

Ghost: Not me, no way. They're not gonna get me. They're not gonna change me.
[loads a pistol]
Ghost: Rachel, kids... I'm sorry.
[shoots himself]

Bronson: They've killed my men and now they've killed me. I'm holding my guts inside me with both hands; I'm almost done. Resist. This is bigger than my little life, the lives of my men, and the lives of the people I was forced to kill. Resist. Humanity demands it. Resist.

Dr. Janice Polito: Marie, I'm sorry I've been out of touch, but i've been working on that artifact Bayliss bought back from Tau Ceti 5. I've done a level three analysis on it. I think it's some kind of artificial intelligence. I've managed to pull an audio tag file of its memory. I'll let you be the judge.
[a distorted voice of SHODAN can be heard]
Dr. Janice Polito: Marie, I think it's speaking Engish.

R.I.P "Dimebag" Darrell

If you want to sing along :

Title: Pantera - Mouth For War

Revenge
I'm screaming revenge again
Wrong
I've been wrong for far too long
Been constantly so frustrated
I've moved mountains with less
When I channel my hate to productive
I don't find it hard to impress

(Pre)
Bones in traction
Hands break to hone raw energy
Bold and disastrous
My ears can't hear what you say to me

(Chorus)
Hold your mouth for the war
Use it for what isn't for
Speak the truth about me
Determined

Possessed
I feel a conquering will down inside me
Strength
The strength of many to crush
Who might stop me
My strength is in number
And my soul lies in every one
The releasing of anger can better any medicine under the sun

(Pre)

(Chorus)

There comes a time within everyone to close your eyes to
what's real
No comprehension to fail
I vacuum the wind for my sail
Can't be the rest
Let others waste my time
Owning success is the bottom line.
Like a knife into flesh
After life is to death
Pulling and punching the rest of duration
NO ONE can piss on this determination

I will put those books on my ever growing list of books to read.

My statement about not having to commit evil to end evil comes more from an ideological side. I truly believe that we don't have to commit evil to end evil. I believe that there are better ways and they have been shown to us, albeit rarely.

As for how the world currently exists, evil is committed to fight evil. It has happened many times in the past, present, and will in the future. But I still hold to the ideal that there is a better way. It is harder and I don't know if I will be able to ever make a difference in changing that attitude, but I have to try. It is an ideal that I will patiently "fight" for as long as I can.

Of course I'm not completely unaware of my own psyche. I realize that this impassioned feeling may be influenced by me being young (early 30's.) With that said, I've mostly followed what I feel is right in my heart and head throughout my life. This is something that I found no inkling of doubt about inside me.

We used to have general stats on the side bar with the previous iteration of VS, that is gone. The geek inside me craves for proper Stats section on VS.

That is something I really love in Steam, Valve's occasional reports on Hardware surveys across 300,000 or so users or like the recent Episode 2 completion stats (which showed that on average everyone finished it in 5 hours, the 6 month development window seems disproportionate now doesn't it?).

aw yeah I luvs me some Warren Ellis!!!

Miller's great too. all stark and dour.... him and Moore are just kinda "given" though.

My favorite ever? Well, that would be Transmetropolitan by Warren Ellis, because I do loves the futuristic Hunter S. Thompson-esque Spider Jerusalem, easily one of the best characters ever... and, I mean come on, what's not to love about a comic where the characters are always popping on down to the local Black-ops Deli for some Chilean baby extract, or Caribou eyes? Or chainsmoking Carcinoma Angel cigarettes while plotting the downfall of a President also referred to as "The Beast" via renegade journalism and a bowel disruptor gun?

I've also loved Frank Miller's work, the Sin City series, and 300 which was a fave from WAAAAY the fuck before hollywood made it into a craptastic piece of feature-length propaganda... Miller's take on Batman was also really cool, I think it was called Dark Knight Returns? Something like that.

Current faves are Warren Ellis' Desolation Jones, and Fell, which he is collaborating on with Ben Templesmith, a super talented young artist from Down Under who also writes and illustrates another current addiction of mine, Wormwood: Gentleman Corpse. Totally great series btw, funny, creepy, and perverse in all the right ways... I think the title of the most recent story arc kind of sums it up: "Leprechaun Fight Night"... oh so fucking funny.

And the history nerd inside me is completely in love with Eric Shanower's epic attempt to turn the Illiad into a graphic novel with his Age of Bronze comic... a huge undertaking I must say, really, the depth that he goes into with his literary and historical research is amazing... and the drawing so well done and detailed as well... its no wonder he's on issue number 25 or so and the Greeks haven't even made it to Illium yet!

@nedtheundead:

You're using a different definition of faith. There isn't really a right or wrong definition. It's kind of like the scientific 'theory' and general 'theory.' The faith that Condell refers to is the faith "Belief without evidence."

"he cannot prove he is not the only intelligent life form there is but there is good evidence this is not true." - nedtheundead

This quotation from you isn't an example of faith, at least in the sense that Condell is using it in. Once there's good evidence to support it, then it's not really faith, right?

@MINK:
"I could say... show me proof that science will one day explain everything, and i will stop believing in God, who i consider to be evident all around me and deep inside me."

Almost. But science doesn't have to prove *everything*; no one is claiming that it does. It just has to prove the specifics to your statement. Also, your statement has a somewhat logical flaw with the wording that you used. To parallel, I could say:

"Show me that science can disprove elves, and then I'll stop believing in them, whom I consider to be evident all around me and deep inside me."

Clearly this is absurd. It's logically impossible to absolutely disprove something, cause it might exist somewhere, or be invisible, etc. A better wording for your claim, to make it logically sound, would be (And this fits elves and God):

"I believe the existence of [something] to be evident, so I will continue this belief until it is either directly contradicted, or the reasons for my belief are shown to be faulty."

I think this type of belief in anything is safer and more accurate than a belief that requires a (logically impossible) disproof to change into disbelief.

However, to be the safest, it's probably better to precede the 'believing' condition I made with a 'non-believing' condition:

"I won't believe that [something] exists/is true until it is directly proven, and/or the reasons for believing it are true."

Anyways, that's what I think, at least.

people couldn't deny the roundness of the world if they could sail round it. that's like a turning point in the credibility of the theory. that turning point happened a long time after other proofs but i guess unless atheists see a "round the world boat" kind of proof, they won't believe in god... so, there ya go.

and about the insult thing, i am just recommending he isn't so insulting, he might have my attention more instead of preaching negativity to the choir.

this wasn't tagged comedy. maybe i would have had a different reaction.

i don't personally believe in the god you are all attacking so i am probably classifiable as an atheist anyway... but i still get angry when science, by definition incomplete, gets cocky about its ability to explain EVERYTHING.

I could say... show me proof that science will one day explain everything, and i will stop believing in God, who i consider to be evident all around me and deep inside me.

or rather i will use the excuse that the science will get so advanced that it will resemble God, so i was kinda right all along. like even if love is just chemicals in my brain, it's still love, and it's still freaking amazing chemicals, so awesome, i would describe it as godly.

laugh if you will but you can't show me proof that science is everything, so by your own scientific standards, i consider the matter still open to experiment and questioning, and i reserve the right to defend either side if attacked.

somebody never heard a gorgeous girl say "let's go home i want your cock inside me" in russian before
