How do you think the Bionicle storyline will end? My ending: The Toa are fighting Makuta. He is extremly powerful. The six Toa fuse together and awake Mata Nui. He forms with the fused Toas and they manage to defeat Makuta. With the evil one gone, (...) (26 years ago, 16-Feb-01, to lugnet.technic.bionicle)

(...) Bah, believe me, *every* booster has a rare, and one in three is a holo. With a lot of time, money, and diligence I was able to complete three sets of Pokemon cards. For this reason I know how it is to open 5 boosters in a row to get (...) (26 years ago, 16-Feb-01, to lugnet.dear-lego, lugnet.technic.bionicle)

The Wall Street Journal article had a large-print sidebar quoting "They're not weapons, they're tools." Right..... As a side effect I've got a new understanding of "Codewarrior: Tools for the Professional Programmer." They're not weapons, they're (...)

Trimmed bionicle from FUT (...) I agree with Bill. Violence in a story isn't bad, per se. It's *celebrating it* as an end in and of itself that's bad. I hold with a philosophy that doesn't initiate violence but that doesn't mean I'm against seeing (...) (26 years ago, 16-Feb-01, to lugnet.technic.bionicle, lugnet.off-topic.debate)

(...) This may stir up a firestorm (not my intent), but why is violence in a storyline so bad? Violence is a regrettably necessary part of life.

I agree with both of you. I do think it's disturbing. I'd just like to raise some points to clarify some things. 1.
