03. It's okay if people like it (fantasy =/= reality), but I agree with you about everything else. I wanted it to be about Ayase taking charge and growing a spine, not falling in love with his selfish rapist. If it had actually been about Stockholm syndrome, and all of its implications, I might have been able to stomach it.
07. That's why I like it.
14. For me, that entire movie was just one big heap of depression. I couldn't watch the whole thing because it made me so sad. So yeah, I feel ya'.
35. I agree that bashing bashers is hypocritical, but I still think that bashing is a geniune insult to a work's creator. It makes me instantly lose respect for an author if they participate in bashing.
55. I feel your pain.
56. This secret makes me very happy (not because you cry--that's not nice--but because you show that there are other people out there who acknowledge Orihime for her strength). Thank you.
58. If I see one more secret whining about the fact that people post secrets that the OP don't like, I'm going to do virtually nothing (except reply about how hypocritical I think these secrets are). Because I understand that I amm not a special snowflake, and that other people don't need to cater to my desires.
64. I have to disagree. I respect Plato, sure, but his dedication to the idea of 'perfection' and absolute 'forms' makes me take his works with a pinch of salt. There's no way a Platonic society, as it is presented in that book, could function in modern, globalizing economy. The world as it is today is just too unpredictable, too unstable. In the developed West, we have foregone the agrarian majority that was the backbone of Plato's society, and have embraced an economic system that allows for a social mobility unparalleled in human history. No matter which way you slice it, Light was going to fail, Plato or no Plato.
Sorry for the tl;dr, this is a subject that I feel quite passionately about.
