The article states "They used to be called ice stalactites until 1974, until a new theory was advanced as to how they are created.". The Global Warmining crisis had not even begun to take root in 1974 I think, and I have to presume based on the fact that these occur in freezing waters which have occurred for millions of years that this is in no way a modern phenomenom. I may be wrong and I won't pretend to be a scientist but due to the factors that occur to create these it would be simply unbelievable if these have only happened for the last few decades. On a different but simlar (!?) note I'm looking forward to the Global Warming episode later in the series - did you hear that the American channels that bought the programme to show to their audiences refused to air the Global Warming episode? Well done America...just bury your head in the sand and it will all go away!

Re: What happens in the end? image for user TheSolarSailor by TheSolarSailor » Wed Sep 5 2012 02:16:47 Flag ▼ | Reply | IMDb member since May 2004 Tetsuo's powers become uncontrollable, just as Kiyoko (the blue girl) had warned him that it would. The psychic children were given drugs to keep their powers under control and to prevent an awakening that could endanger others, hence the reason they were shriveled and blue and basically kept in a state of muted growth. The destruction of Tokyo was the result of an awakening by Akira back in 1988, and the General hoped to prevent this from ever happening again while they studied the phenomenon. Tetsuo was older and his awakening happened very quickly, and the scientist did not have time to get him under control. Tetsuo had huge self-esteem problems, and when he became aware of the power he wielded, he sought to then do whatever he pleased and never be dependent again. This is why there was a conflict between he and Kanada, as he resented the way Kaneda always had to help him as he could not achieve things on his own. The blue kids (Masura, Takashi, and Kiyoko) made a mistake in trying to kill Tetsuo early on due to Kiyoko's vision of future events, as they may possibly have been able to help him understand and control his powers. Their attack lead to his going crazy and rejecting what they were trying to warn him about. His rapidly mutating body was the result of his power becoming utterly uncontrollable. Akira, having still managed to live as a consciousness despite being dissected, was reawakened thanks to Tetsuo's interference, and he is actually more powerful than Tetsuo. The explosion of Akira's power enveloped Tetsuo and also destroyed Neo-Tokyo again just like what had happened back in 1988. But it was a small price to pay to prevent the uncontrollable flesh blob that was now Tetsuo from doing even more damage. Kaneda was trapped inside the sphere of energy and experienced Tetsuo's life, his fears, his needs, his hurt, his dependency, everything, and it helped Kaneda to better understand why he had acted as he did and why he felt so much resentment. When the children entered the sphere to save Kaneda, they knew they would not be able to escape it. Their presence enabled Kaneda to also experience their lives through their memories...the testing, the development of the powers, everything. here you can see where they had once been normal children before the drugs were administered that would mute their growth. It's sad and tragic, and Kaneda gets to experience this all. They succeed in pushing Kaneda out of the sphere, and it is then implied that Akira sends Tetsuo to a place where he can be content and cause no more harm. We assume that Akira is there with him, and it is implied that Tetsuo becomes a new galaxy. somewhere out in the universe. basically, there is a lot to the evolution of the mind that enables these children to tap into things much greater than our human minds can comprehend. The army is studying this power and know that it is great, but even they have very little understanding. The universe is huge and full of mystery, and our experience on Earth in the fleshly form is merely tapping the surface. I know I may have explained some things that you already knew, but I just wanted to go over everything as I see it and understand it. The comic book manga goes into a great deal more detail than the movie does. The movie only scratches the surface of the material. The DVD by Pioneer has a supplement section that explains some things, and it is material taken from the actual manga. If I remember correctly, Tetsuo grandfather was was one involved in the experiment from the 1980s, and the gene that enables this psychic power skipped a generation and manifested in Tetsuo. I am not sure without doing research, but maybe some other users who know the manga can shed better light on that. Let me know if you agree with what I wrote and perhaps we can debate if you have a different idea or interpretation. [smile]

1 Timothy 6:5 King James Version (KJV) 5 Perverse disputing of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, supposing that gain is godliness: from such withdraw thyself.

"Well, dear friends, you know that some men can do to the glory of God what to other men would be sin. And notwithstanding what brother Pentecost has said, I intend to smoke a good cigar to the glory of God before I go to bed to-night. "If anybody can show me in the Bible the command, 'Thou shalt not smoke,' I am ready to keep it; but I haven't found it yet. I find ten commandments, and it's as much as I can do to keep them; and I've no desire to make them into eleven or twelve. "The fact is, I have been speaking to you about real sins, not about listening to mere quibbles and scruples. At the same time, I know that what a man believes to be sin becomes a sin to him, and he must give it up. 'Whatsoever is not of faith is sin' [Rom. 14:23], and that is the real point of what my brother Pentecost has been saying. "Why, a man may think it a sin to have his boots blacked. Well, then, let him give it up, and have them whitewashed. I wish to say that I'm not ashamed of anything whatever that I do, and I don't feel that smoking makes me ashamed, and therefore I mean to smoke to the glory of God." -C.H. Spurgeon

First they arrest people for what they write on Facebook. I don't really use it, so I don't care. Then they came for the people that posted the wrong thing on YouTube. I don't use it, so I don't care. Then they came for the people that said the wrong thing on Twitter. I think Twitter is stupid, so I didn't care. Then they came for me for what I wrote in a private email. Then I wondered where all the people on the internet were that would speak out for me.

Rare Wisdom from Lipstickalley:

" I belive there are enough straight men out here for the woman who are meant to be married. Let's be honest not everybody is meant to married. But the ones who are wouldn't have a problem marrying straight men if they stopped searching and let themselves be found. stop letting people and the media pressure them into marriage. And if they would stop just marrying the first man that's nice to them. I know couples that got desperate and just married each because that's who was around. Some married cheaters, gay men, etc. not because those were the people they were meant to marry but because they got tired of waiting and that's just who they could find at the moment. I will admit most women who are searching for husbands in the church will never marry the right man for them. Sometimes you just have live your life (outside of the church) enjoy it and the right man find you. If you're always in church searching then you could be missing out on what's truly meant for you."

More Spurgeon gold...WOW!!!!

Morning, May 31 The king also himself passed over the brook Kidron. — 2 Samuel 15:23 David passed that gloomy brook when flying with his mourning company from his traitor son. The man after God’s own heart was not exempt from trouble, nay, his life was full of it. He was both the Lord’s Anointed, and the Lord’s Afflicted. Why then should we expect to escape? At sorrow’s gates the noblest of our race have waited with ashes on their heads; wherefore then should we complain as though some strange thing had happened unto us? The King of kings himself was not favoured with a more cheerful or royal road. He passed over the filthy ditch of Kidron, through which the filth of Jerusalem flowed. God had one Son without sin, but not a single child without the rod. It is a great joy to believe that Jesus has been tempted in all points like as we are. What is our Kidron this morning? Is it a faithless friend, a sad bereavement, a slanderous reproach, a dark foreboding? The King has passed over all these. Is it bodily pain, poverty, persecution, or contempt? Over each of these Kidrons the King has gone before us. “In all our afflictions he was afflicted.” The idea of strangeness in our trials must be banished at once and forever, for he who is the Head of all saints, knows by experience the grief which we think so peculiar. All the citizens of Zion must be free of the Honourable Company of Mourners, of which the Prince Immanuel is Head and Captain. Notwithstanding the abasement of David, he yet returned in triumph to his city, and David’s Lord arose victorious from the grave; let us then be of good courage, for we also shall win the day. We shall yet with joy draw water out of the wells of salvation, though now for a season we have to pass by the noxious streams of sin and sorrow. Courage, soldiers of the Cross, the King himself triumphed after going over Kidron, and so shall you.

Encouragement.

dear peter i am glad you have the relief and the assurance you need. This world is not fair, and is getting darker and darker, as more people submit to the negative spirits around them. sometimes it is a lonely path, but just know there are others on the same lonely path as you. in spirit, you are not alone. the Lord is with you, and so are many others, whether you ever get to meet us or not on this earth. in the next life, we will all meet and rejoice together.
