Exactly!.. This whole conversation can't get me to stop thinking about the anime "Terror in Resonance" or the american tv show "the pretender" off of which that anime is based. Main protagonists were terrorists (and freedom fighters) in every possible sense except ironically they refused to kill (anyone) and methodically planned things so they didn't have to, in addition their NSA-antagonist counterparts try to foil them by either attempting to force them into a situation where the only obvious way out is through taking an innocent life forcing them to be especially clever or overtly threatening innocent lives to get the "terrorists" to negotiate with them. It's kinda a subversion of the real life and movie stereotypes of "terrorists", and somehow this all couldn't stop throbbing the memory of those two shows. I'm not sure why actually, it's kinda ironic that Lyberta would remind me of that xD > l. > > _______________________________________________ > arm-netbook mailing list [email protected] > http://lists.phcomp.co.uk/mailman/listinfo/arm-netbook > Send large attachments to [email protected] _______________________________________________ arm-netbook mailing list [email protected] http://lists.phcomp.co.uk/mailman/listinfo/arm-netbook Send large attachments to [email protected]
