For Lindsay! Yeah, it was a request. i really dont like this kind of music. i'm especially pround of the fade ins and fade outs of Javert, THenardier, Jean Valjean, Thenardiess, and Eponine. Nobody likes Azelma! Anime: Les Miserables Shojo Cosette Song: Keep Holding On Artist: That drunk Avril Lavigne

I think Valjean likes Cosette a bit tooo much.....maybe it's just his watery eyes. He also stole my hairstyle at some point while living in the convent on Petit-Picpus, despite me not being born yet for at least another 160 years. I agree. Azelma needs love! And the anime doesn't show enough Thenardier. But good, pretty vidier nonetheless!

- This anime, is annoying, because it isnt really like the book "the miserable", i have only seen 2 a half ep, but until now, it nothing what the book is ((I'm at page about 300 in the book[there is about 500 pages])) xD.
__________________________________________________
thezuperztar ::: Favorites  2007-07-27 20:01:28

There were a time in the book where they, uhm... I was almost beginning to think Disgusting! - Because it was like "She was what he needed, they could fill each other hearts, with the love they never had", i was like: Whaaat? xD After that there stood: Cosette was like a daughter to him -.-'

It's probably an abridged version. My own copy is around 1200 pages. Anyway, the first few episodes depart from canon quite a bit, but the later ones stick to it surprisingly closely. I've been following the anime since day one and I agree that the first five or six were kind of irritating, but it grew on me after that.

Stove obviously didn't understand evolution nor science according to your description. No evolutionist would ever treat Darwin as a prophet or DNA as a God. Evolution is the simplest explanation for what we observe throughout the world. The things you mentioned, which at first thought may seem to contradict evolutionary principals, do not. Example: helping people that have no genetic similarity to us DOES help us survive as a species that lives & collaborates in highly populated communities

Stove did not deny that organisms descended from each other through modification in a process that spans billions of years. Stove did argue that there are cases where natural selection has no explanatory power. In addition, Stove argued modern gene puppetry theories are almost completely worthless.

For example, a defender of the Darwinian new testament would have much trouble explaining soldiers, priests, abortionists, and homosexuals in terms of genes, given heteros leave more descendents than homos, priests don't leave any descendents, abortionists kill their descendents, and soldiers can die in their effort to kill others of their own species.

The Darwinian Old Testament suffers from similar problems. The theory states that offspring of species have variations, and offspring are produced at a faster rate than the food supply, which produces a contest where only the fittest survive. You're saying this theory is universal, since natural selection applies at all times, and all places. I need not remind you that the 21st Century is a time, and Western democracies are places.

you seem very confused right in here. priests, homomsexuals, soldiers, and abortionsists are roles that homo-sapiens construct and occupy. they are not biological species.

threewands-- You have a keen eye for the obvious. Note that people playing the roles of priests and homosexuals reproduce far less than those who don't. Hence their existence cannot be explained strictly in terms of natural selection.

you must be talking about some kind of "social darwinism" school. scientists who deal only with natural selection attempt to identify reasons for biological change (for example bipedalism or a disappearing appendage). priests and soldiers are usually dealt with by historians.

threeofwand-- You're making an extra-stupid argument. Do you deny that homosexuals, abortionists, soldiers, and priests exist? If natural selection was a universal theory, homosexuals, for example, would have been weeded out millions of years ago, namely because homosexuals usually don't leave offspring.

well, most people familiar with current research in natural selection are aware that homosexuality is a pheneomena that occurs in many insect and animal species. as far as soldiers and priests, i can only say that these are cultural phenomena that should be studied by historians and social theorists. if this strikes you as blind stupidity, my apolgies. cont.

as far as abortionists, it is my understanding that they are health care professionals (doctors) and so are wealthy enough to have as many offspring as they like. that this will Not end up making a bunch of abortion specialists in the future i take as a given, and not a refutation of natural selection.

three-- Look, if natural selection applies at all times and places, and we're controlled by our selfish genes as the Darwinian New Testament predicts, what kind of selfish gene would kill its own genetic offspring? 'Wealth' is a social construct as you would put it, like a 'healthcare professional'. I agree though that wealth and education are better explanations of why the practice of abortion persists within my species. Appealing to genes simply won't do the explanatory job.

threewands-- "are aware that homosexuality is a pheneomena that occurs in many insect and animal species" This does makes your case worse, not better. Under natural selection, homosexuality should not exist at all in any species. And you can't dismiss this by saying homosexuality among insects is a social insect construct, or some other stupidity.

in my opinion this particular criticism would be applicable more to Lamarck and acquired characteristics. that view has been discredited since Darwin. by the way, if you read these posts you will see that we are not in disagreement on how best to study cultural phenomena such as soldiers, priests, etc.
