Jedi, be niceWe have an opprotunity to learn about someone, and it should be viewed as such. Not an opprotunity to insult, however correctly deserved it might be.
Disagreeing with someone is perfectly fine. Insults are less so. I don't want to have to put my moderator hat on and edit more posts in this thread...it is always important to stay respectful.

That sombrero should be the moderator hat.
Moderators should buy sombrero's to express their mighty moderatorism.

Menace, if you're ready to really learn about your darkness, I suggest coming to my order and take up studies with people like Khaos, Darth Draconis, Kiss and a few other noteable Dark Force Realists. Whether the Force has sides or they are merely facets of the human psyche, you have only scratched the surface- and I feel you would benefit from a more in depth exploration.

You asked a question at the beginning of this post, let me give you my answer:
I look at life in the sense that we all have a place in society. It is my personal belief that a functional society has man contributors. In order to maintain that balance, you need those that are willing to stand up against those who would oppose the health of a functional society. These opposing forces may come from renegades (criminals) or even from within in the form of mambers of society's mental health (those that loss touch with reality, that are suicidal, that can't find a way to move forward and are constantly stuck in the past, etc).
I can not speak for everyone, but for myself, I help others so that they can make a choice on whether or not they want to pursue a life of self service or one of selflessness. To help them break free of their own chains, as well as let loose of the chains they have on others.
The Jedi path isn't for everyone, neither is the Sith Path. We must all find our own ways, I found mine-Jedi. Others are free to find their own.

"Darth" Draconis? And what, praytell, makes him worthy of such a title?Alethea Thompson wrote: Lol, I have read enough to have a good laugh.

Does it really matter? He either is or he isn't. Go talk to him. Know a tree by its fruit, directly. What could Alethea tell you that you would accept as sufficient proof or reason anyway? The title of this thread is "Dark Side?", not "Sith credentials pissing contest". I mean, seriously. LOLDeathStar wrote: "Darth" Draconis? And what, praytell, makes him worthy of such a title?
