Is the Alliance Evil? (Firefly)

The Alliance is evil, perhaps in the worst way...

It's the perfect example of what happens when a government gains too much power and tries to create a utopian society. The Alliance didn't develop PAX to make people happy, it was to make everyone docile. It back-fired, but if it had worked the people would have no aggressive tendencies. Therefore, no one could ever rise up and overthrow the corrupt government.

The Alliance is the worst kind of evil, by masking itself as "something better".

How ya doing, buddy?

Not when the government is corrupt and has the physical power to put down any form of resistance.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I don't think The Allience was communist at all. They had this idea that they were civilized and everyone else were just savages. You had to be who they wanted you to be, which left no room for true free will. It wasn't overtly restrictive, but they gave you just enough room to provide the illusion of freedom.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

The idea of The Allience isn't evil, the surface of The Allience isn't evil, but the inner-workings of it are. When any one group thinks that there way is the right way and the only way, and they'll do anything to make the world as they envision it... that's evil.

Like it said in the movie, people don't like to be meddled with, and that's exactly what The Allience is doing. They are also discriminating against anyone who isn't under Allience rule by calling them savages.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

I think you're taking this way too seriously, LeHah. It's a TV show, calm down.

The Alliance and the Union are two entirely different things, with only some similarities.

I conclude my argument by saying this "Teh Aliance is EVAL!!!111one"

I was speaking idiomatically.

Ooh, excuse me. Sorry, but you don't own this message board so stop being so arrogant.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Please, get a life.

FELIPE NO

I'm reporting your post too, you're using foul language and making general insults. This is a message board, and if you want to talk to just one other person, go get yourself an IM client. Just because you can't handle differing opinions and a change of pace...

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Actually I've been here for a while, but I re-registered. You have no ettiqute what so ever. Just because you don't like what someone has to say you feel a need to insult them. I don't care if you were having an "intelligent conversation" with someone else. As I recall this message board has 3,050 members, not two.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I'm not even going to bother with you LeHah. I'm just going to report every message that I feel merits being reported. The topic was getting back to normal, but you had to go back and troll some more.

To Lord Styphon: Way to take things out of context. I was being attacked for not agreeing with LeHah's opinion. So in reponse I tried to post something a little on the lighter side to make things a little less tense. After all, it's just a TV show and the emotion at the end of the sentence indicated humor. Obviously it's something many of you are without.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

So being called a "fucking nigger pot" isn't harrassment? I don't care if you're an administrator or not. I did nothing wrong. I stayed on topic, but LeHah felt the need to attack my opinion and then insulted me repeatidly.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

I didn't say a single curse word to LeHah. I stayed as respectful as possible in the midst of the constant attacks. LeHah was the one who provoked additional response by myself, and still continued to attack me AFTER the topic did into further discussion by other users.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Who the hell are you? I don't care if you're an administrator or not. Are you blind? LeHah was the one who attacked me personally, and made several comments that were rude and uncalled for. The comments were not only insulting to me, but insulting to a large group of people as well. For someone who was previously arguing about how The Alliance is similar to the American Civil War, and then to call me a "fucking nigger pot"... Well come on now. LeHah continued to insults me and not even the slightest action has been taken. That's absurd.
