Lots of stuff that people debate about on MLs, to my knowledgeable, can
never be proven. ^_^ It's just fun to talk about. I learn your views, you
learn mine, and we both share our combined knowledge of the Gundam universe.
It's not about who "wins" or "loses", at least not to my mind.

NTs never had god-like power...they were powerful, but not god-like.

It's just fun to argue about. If you think I shouldn't, or the moderator
feels like I'm cluttering up the list, then I'll stop. It's quite simple. ^_^

Actually, I think the NT theory goes much farther - there is a sense of
irony about the fact that NTs, which should be the next step in human
evolution, are used as nothing but tools for war. The implications of NTs
for the human species and humans reactions towards them are also important,
and add I feel a great sense of depth to Gundam.

Yes, but you have to keep in mind that I haven't been on this ML as long as
you people have, so what is accepted fact to you is news to me. All my
friends think Char and Amuro are pretty strong NTs, so you can see where I'm
coming from. I don't think this is like the OJ Simpson case...here, you
simply believe one thing and I another, and we are talking about it.

Yes, I know he said that, but he also said something about destroying the
nuclear ones. I'll get my tape back from my friend and check. ^_^
