1. Aurora 2. Snow White 3. Alice 4. Belle 5. Jasmine 6. Cinderella 7. Kairi Kairi is the 7th Princess of Heart. I do not know if Aqua is a Princess of Heart and at this time don't see a reason why she even should be. The Princesses of Heart are connected to their worlds and it is presumed that there probably would be one for well, each time, but that's just a guess. Maybe Aqua was one but it does not make much sense unless she came from another world than Kairi did and not one from the other worlds considering all of the PoHs are alive when Aqua was roaming about. Though there were 7 Princesses of Heart supposedly required to open the door, Kairi was the final piece in it. Whether there are -more- Princesses of Heart or not remains to be seen, but it was required that 7 had to be used to make the Keyblade capable of opening the door Ansem wanted in.
Any worlds that were taken in KH were restored when Ansem was defeated. They were separated and restored, with their hearts of the worlds locked and the princesses of Heart restored as well. So, though the world had been compromised, Sora and team's mission in the end restored all of the worlds that had been taken and they were made whole again. Since no Heartless were on the world of DI prior to the door of DI being opened, there were none after on that world. However, as someone pointed out, the Heartless remained a problem in KH2. Some of this was due to the Organization planting remainders of them at worlds while others probably were still traveling about interspace, as KH identifies 'space travel'.
If we look at current standings, the Wii is obviously ahead. The Xbox was outsold even though it debuted a whole year earlier than the Wii. The PS3 is moving upwards. So, as it stands I'd have to say the Wii is ahead but I do not see a console that is going to hold the 'top spot' in 2008 for sure yet. 2007 though was definitely the year of the Wii. 2008 though may turn around and all since better games for the PS3 come out and the price dropped, and Xbox has some good titles too that are out and others are going to be out too in 2008. I don't have a prediction yet though for that outcome. As for asking people for their general opinions 'currently' and some people saying the Wii is ahead, or Xbox or PS3 will take the lead...I don't see why these get slammed since no one can really say currently anything logically other than the Wii is ahead. So can we not slam people for saying facts as proof of their opinion, as some of us actually -do- look up things and use facts to support ourselves?
I guess it's already well been pointed out that the problem of some people basically comes down to 'fear' that those who are believers in Christianity and wayward at the time might be corrupted to becoming atheists or some agnostic, or agnostics will yet become atheists from the movie. Really, boycotting and speaking out against a movie always seems to just give it more prestige so it would help if those who don't want their own children to see it, they just make that choice themselves. A movie, TV show or book shouldn't be something 'strong' enough to sway someone's mind from a religion. It's a personal choice to take the 'leap of faith' and believe, or to not believe. I see quite a few Christian groups, not just Catholics, doing this act of Churches speaking out against it and calling for a boycott, so I wouldn't just target one group. Some church groups also seem to care less than others. It always makes me rather leery to see that people fear so much that others will lose their faith over something so trivial. There are those who are Christian here and posted saying they'd watch the movie and it of course isn't going to sway them. After all, they realize it's a fictional story to just watch and enjoy. Those who do these rallies against fiction really should take a look at these other 'non fearing' Christians and take a lesson from them. Sadly, they won't and instead might even call them heretics. What annoys me is that I have sat through a number of Christian shows, movies etc, and the news constantly at this time of year caters to Christians due to the holiday, and yet I can and will do so because it is a part of culture, though I don't believe in it at all. I hear Christian references constantly and am not going to turn off a movie for the word 'God' or stop reading X-Men because Professor X is a die-hard Christian. I am very glad to see there are Christians out there that can accept others are not all the same in thoughts etc. I accept this too and I wish we all could learn more tolerance and acceptance of differences and no one should have to live with 'fear' of what others think or feel. It is not the same as what people -do-. My apologies for going somewhat off target with this, but it is just one of those things that gets to me. Fear is such a deadly thing that often spirals into hate and people do such idiotic things when in these two emotional states. Hopefully those of us who do not can remain strong in such times of adversity.
I personally think the movie looks pretty darn good and the books were great to me. Of course, being as I am not a religious sort at all, the religious intonations are something I often 'ignore' or just pay attention to but don't let them get to me. The reason "The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe" wasn't dissed is because the author was a Christian and the book had strong Christian tones in it when you look for them. It's not hard to see at all, so it is a movie with 'faith' involved that no one disses on when Christian. However, we've seen the notoriety that Harry Potter received because it had witchcraft in it. Several people raised a stink about it and also some felt it was their civic ethical duty to steal books and burn them, as well as ban their children from it. This movie is going to face scrutiny for it but anyone not a die-hard Christian and is let to see the movie may just enjoy it. Some die-hard Christians may actually like it too if their parents don't try to say 'no' to them going. I will go see it once it's out and know of Christians that want to go see it too and do not care about the 'warnings' that some spout because it's a movie that is geared to action and adventure and we all highly doubt it's going to be 'that' controversial. If anything, the churches that condemn the movie may help it along. After all, I didn't think "The Da Vinci Code" was that good a movie but it certainly did better in the box office than it might have if people didn't rally so much against it.
Well, in the end, every 'religion' started out as a cult, historically. Every 'holy book' was debated as having any authenticity whatsoever because they are all written by men. Just because a book was written 2000 years ago doesn't make it more valid than one written 4 years ago. All religions had their beginning times as being the thing that some people gripped onto and then later societies adopted as being something they wanted to add into their cultures. So, to me, I'm not seeing the problem here. Religions have their violent fanatical devotees, which those are the issues in the end. If the religion isn't one that just spurns hatred, mutilations etc, I don't think of it as a big deal. People believe in what they want to make them feel whole and happier and good for them.
Yay, I won. Now to figure out what to do with an adopted son. I guess first we'll go to a baseball game and throw peanuts at the players...then run away because they are on steroids and will want to kill us.
I'd keep it open another day. Doesn't hurt anything. I'm just shocked I am actually somehow in the lead. I voted for Higherbeing I think lol.
I'm sure civilizations will fall and rise etc, but humanity may last a while itself, even if it has to rebuild into new things. I do not think we will last 'forever' but I don't see the doom of mankind really as a total even if I do see that the downfall of cultures will happen and societies will change or be dismembered. About the only way to secure humanity would die out is for the nukes to go off in droves and no one really -wants- to do that, or we do something else that can cripple our atmosphere and world environment so poorly life cannot be sustained.
I voted for Tifa's outfit. It actually seems to have a purpose and design to it that lets her be maneuverable, she looks cool in it and not like a little girl, and she doesn't have to worry about her underwear showing on leaps or kicks.
lol, that's awesome.
Omaha is in Nebraska.
Well here's the latest news on it I found. http://www.nytimes.com/2007/12/06/u...=click&WT.mc_id=GN-S-E-GG-NA-S-omaha_shooting http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2007/12/05/national/main3579871.shtml?source=RSSattr=HOME_3579871 In the short: The guy was 19 or 20, from Bellevue, who was named Robert A Hawkins. He was depressed severely because he had lost his job at McDonalds earlier in the day. He got the gun from his dad's house earlier in the week, and about an hour before he shot everyone, he called the woman who he was taking care of him to say he was sorry and all and she could not get him to come home. Seems also he had bad times with his family and was staying with two other adults who had taken him in, and his girlfriend broke up with him 2 weeks ago. The police reported finding a suicide note on him after the incident. The guy really seemed to have luck against him, and may have even tried out for the army to get out of his life issues and get something more positive but was denied. This may be why he was wearing camouflage and military sorts of stuff when he went to the mall. In the suicide note it was reported to say "Now I'll be famous". He dropped out of high school and in that year, his family kicked him out of the house. He moved in with the Korvacs' who had two teenage boys that were his friends after going to a few places allegedly. The Korvacs knew he was depressed but said he seemed to be getting better and well, who wouldn't be after his string of bad luck? He also reportedly had some issues with drinking and smoking marijuana, though it seems drinking was the bigger thing than any drugs were. Seems the guy just finally couldn't take life anymore and snapped in rage and frustration. Very tragic.
I vote this guy is the true Goofy Goober. Too bad he was banned. I am glad I am slydexic or I'd never have understood what he said...no wait...I'm upset I'm dyslexic and comprehended that crap. *sob*
Sleep well, Higherbeing!
This is fun. ^_^
Kairi means 'Sea' and Aqua is 'Water'. The theory is interesting but I really am not seeing this. The Keyblade Aqua had is different from the Keyblade Riku gave to Kairi. I think the Keyblade Riku gave to Kairi was a temporary thing sort of as the Dark Keyblade was, and was based off of Riku's connection to Kairi and her Heart, and that is why it came out all flowery...because Kairi is that way. As a Princess of Heart, Kairi is also drawn to the Keyblades so to me it's not that big a surprise she could wield a Keyblade if given one. I'm also not sure where to place Aqua yet in things, if she's not #14 of the Org and where her spirit actually is yet. It's an interesting idea but not sure I think it's what is going to happen. Then again, we never know.
I think that'd be cool with me.
lol, that was hilarious. I was cast as Axel...I do find it funny Nymph actually went with how it was nearly done in a thread here and then made it into a story. Great stuff. Someday I'll find that poll so I can vote in it. I won't vote for me, of course, even Axel so would do that.
I agree that if it could be made better, I would hope it should be. I have also had troubles with it in the past and it's one of those 'small' peeves but when running into the problem it can be consuming and irritating. If something can't be done, I understand but I do support it if something could be.
