I'm sure you would troll boy, I'm sure you would.

I mean what are you 12? Are you going to sneak into any more threads and post with the single purpose of trying to insult me with an infantile comment?

I mean it's flattering and all but your bizarre attempt at cyber stalking is just getting boring now.

More insane ramblings by the people who brought you beeeer milkshakes!
The statistics on sanity are that one out of every four persons is suffering from some sort of mental illness. Think of your three best friends -- if they're okay, then it's you.

What's this, Citizen? An anti-matter fan you never told us about?

No worries; the rest of us love ya

Now that I think on it, in the theatre there was dead silence when Mal shot that guy, no cheers. We were all shocked as to how cold he'd gotten.
In the deleted scenes he even tells his crew to put Book out in front [of Serenity's nose], that might have been too much, but it did show that he was being hard without discrimination.

All of this is a moot point since Mal had just been told by his enemy that committing massacre to prevent your target from going to ground was justified. There's your rules of war right there. Kudos to Mal for shootin' Mr. Baby Killer out of his big damn ship o' death.

So it's okay for Iraqis to kill American Civilians, remembering that American's are killing Iraqi civilians?

Oh and remember what the Operative says, "I'm a monster, Mal."

So it's right for Mal to become a monster because the Operative started it? The Operative started killing Civillians, so it's the right thing to do for Mal to do the same if they get in his way?

Chris:
Yes, our strange friend above seems to appear out of nowhere, post one short post as an insult (this one was actually quite tame though) and then dissapear.

I keep expecting binoculars on my front lawn...

I thought this was just out of the outtakes, something Nathan Fillion was saying to be funny, because it's followed shortly thereafter by telling Jayne not to steal too much of their shit. I didn't think this was an actual scene. I could be wrong though.

"I'm having one of those things - a headache with pictures."

"Of course I'm right. And if I'm not, may we all be horribly crushed from above somehow."

(Quote) Mal: "I don't kill children."

When does Mal ever kill Civs? Mal never kills Civs?

Killing Civilians is always wrong. That is, if it happens by accident, the person get in the way of a bullet right as the shooter pulls a trigger and such, thats just unfortunate, but to seek and kill civs is wrong, and Mal doesn't do that.

and that scene is definatly an out take, not a real scene. Mal messes up his line, but instead of stopping he goes into a joke scene. The clue was when you were looking at the botton called Bloopers, not the one labelled deleated scenes.

If you play Nationstates.net check out the region Firefly.

I believe the line settles in right about here. Do you Kill because you can. Do steal because you can.Do you dominate others because you can.

After the Cival War in america there were many southern warriors to took to stealing from northern industrys. Some did it strike back against the north while at the same time taking care of their needs finacially.

In time we have come to realize some did it because they believed they were on the side of right. Some just liked doing it. I have only seen the Movie Serinity and have just now order the first season of firefly. But from what I've seen, Mal and his people believe in what they do and do'nt just do it for the fun.

Heck, if one of the suicide bombers/pilots from 9/11 survivied the attack, would you have condemned onlookers for killing him? Or the bombers in Spain, England, Jordan, or elsewhere? Are civilians truly expected to sit back and calmly consider the legal ramifications while they've just witnessed mass murder?

Baby killers are baby killers, whether they're American or not. The rule of engagement for American soldiers in Iraq is to respond to enemy fire, not instigate it. My friend was in Afghanistan, and was on orders not to fire unless shot at. This resulted in an incident I can't discuss, but clearly displays the different situation soldiers there face, and why the comparison between the two simply doesn't fit.

Mal said you'd see something different when he went to war, and he was then engaged in a war in which the enemy actively kills civilians in mass numbers. It's pretty hard to judge a man in that situation without having been in his shoes.

Besides, the idiot in the Alliance craft shoulda stayed hidden, because the crew certainly weren't military personnel. He shouldn't have expected any type of Geneva convention treatment from civilians who just witnessed the intentional murders of children and a preacher. Definitely a Darwin Award nominee.
