easy guys....

They're fighting with big words!
*runs away*

We're playing the quote-by-quote game is it? Have at it then.

'Rebuke' my post? You're joking, right?
If those posts are post that disagreed with yours, it falls within rebuke...isnt it?

Are we resorting to name-calling now?
Propagandist is as neutral a calling to artist, historian, pianist and physicist. You feel insulted by the word, or by the meaning that you ASSUME it comes with? Whose assuming now?

Is it an assumption on your part or do you have concrete proof of my role as a 'propagandist'? I don't believe we've even had any sort of internet communication prior to this.
Read the definition I found on the word propagandist:-

"A person who disseminates messages calculated to assist some cause or some government."

Since you subscribe to the idea that all mass media with its mediums are somewhat laced with political inclinations, this directly relates to the definition above. Again i ask, are you offended by the term, or by your own ASSUMPTION what a propagandist means?

Yes, I have already said that I WILL hold a contrarian view to yours.
Again, I am unable to understand how you can assume so much with so little information about me.
You are not as UNASSUMING as you would like to think you are, my dear medicative friend.Read your backpedallings above.

Yes, to have them not equate it to politics is the general intention.
So, which is it? The filmmakers's intention is to tell a story, but propagandist like you<-----i will say this again and again, in contect of the definition i quote above, who are the ones equating present time polotics to a battle that happens ages ago.

I did not bring politics to anything, did I? I was responding to your post that was already laden with politics.
I fail to see any posts in this thread laden with politics before you came in. Unless it's politics of the forum lah, that's common day occurence here. In fact you can argue that every single post in this forum is laden with politics, either politics of self-indulgence, or group hivemind mentality, and the politics of expandin the influence of that said hivemind. Tell me what's new again?

And yet again. Do you even know me? Who ARE people like 'me'?
And you know that I don't because? And you know I 'hatch endless political skews' because?

I did get you attention now did i? Then those two lines of sentences has served their purpose. They arent necessarily true, but they get you in here to response. Mission accomplished.

It is pretty obvious that you are unable to have a civil discussion with a divergence of opinions without resorting to an infantile need to name-call and to assume based on a shallow intepretation of what have been posted.

What freaking name-calling!??!? Did your estrogen level shot up to counter the testosterone level after watching this movie, making you feel so effeminately sensitive to every word here? Propagandist is NOT a bad word, FCUK, A$$HOLE and the likes are. If you feel so bad about being called a propagandist, it must have related to the nature of the word "propagandist" and what it meant to you. Save this excessive sensitivities to the womenfolk.

As a 'peace-loving people', do you not find that neutrality is needed? Should you have any problems comprehending my earlier post, may I suggest that you read it again with an open mind - and not one tainted with your own personal bias.

I suggest you read it again too. Those paragraph, in LAYMAN term, (since your sensitive side is assuming things again) are meant to show that even though Malaysians are peace-loving, even something as fickle as outside politics like American/Iraq/IRan crap still manage to divide us. Malaysians are peace-loving, no? Are you refuting that now? Is that why you think im name-calling when calling you a propagandist now? Jeeez, lay off the kacip fatimah, will ya!

I specifically said to YOU that you will doubtlessly disagree and that you will attempt to reply precisely because of the kind of response that was forthcoming - I have read your other posts in this forum. If I was as confident about the others' inability to hold a civil discussion, I would have addressed it to everyone - which I didn't. Nor did I feel that no one else would post replies to my post.

Glad to know my paparazzis still alive and well to this day. I have kept list of those who follow my every move around the forum and sniff at every word i typed in here. Including those who laugh infantily at even the most minute grammatical mistake i make in here.

Unlike you, I do not feel the need to lambast every single reply that are polar opposites of mine, so please do note that I have mostly chosen to question/reply you on statements that have been directed towards me at a personal level, which I feel should have been unnecessary, given your self-admitted bias towards 'peace'.

Errr, hello.....you just did that thing you just typed there. See if you dont lambast every post of mine after this, then you can claim that. The nature of a discussion/debate on a forum is that one will respond to another post, otherwise it's a one-sided conversation. Lambasting is too harsh a word, but then, im not surprised, judging from your state of mind, you are too sensitive for your own good. And oh, pot calling kettle black? Assumption seems to point to that on that last word of yours. "Peace"? As far as im concerned i never claimed im peaceful, you did. The only "peace" i related to is the relace-loving nature of Malaysians that i meant in the previous post. It pays to confirm one's meaning rather than assuming, which you claimed i did profusely in here, but instead i see you did even more so yourself!

Once again, have a nice day.
You have a nice day too.

this is sparta?
or did u say
red sauce on pasta

Weiii so mean one....

Blardy streamyx...they said two days try again....thing is they said this three weeks ago...and kept saying it...

do u have the guts or the means of way to fk the bandwith out of them?
if u dont try asking someone helping u to call them
if u keep being soft with them i think they wouldnt bother much

Everything said is true.

You must teach them a lesson... Maybe not a chainsaw, a baseball bat will do. Then they will start bothering. Or tell them they will earn money, the only things going quick are things which are money making.

Hey... I thought this is suppose to be a "300" movie gathering for 360iers...

Apa jadi? Nobody want to watch this "one of the best 2007" movie of the event?

Watch lar... who's going to host gathering?

mostly already went for the movie... except for me
too many unfinished school works at the moment playing LIVE also no time... really sad

I think by this time everyone watch already, and dreaming of a day when we too can be Spartans on our consoles!

If only they make a good "300" Xbox 360 game... I've read the PSP version was lousy...

Very true my friend.

As usual, the PSP release was just a quick to market movie license.

We can still hope though.

You mean the movie gathering did not happen? And I thought all the discussions were after the movie gathering
