So what is it about the dark side of the power that you need to get what you want?


It's the core fundamentals that I enjoy. It's the control and use of passion and the primal nature of man. It's rising up to become better than others for the sake of one's self and one's goals, rather than


I don't see how that is dark? Self-centered but not dark. Come on you're a nice guy arn't you? Why deni it?

What does being "nice" have to do with being "dark", and what makes you think one can't "be" both?

Lexiconical Debates make me sick.

But, nice is an action. You "are" nice to somebody. It's an attitude you take that is outward.

Dark is an inward OR outward trait. Unlike nice, it can be both observed AND though of internally.

Somebody can be dark on the inside, and outwardly nice to express some kind of false appearance in order to gain some dark goal.

In other words, "words" are a problem when discussing the vast disparity between internal and external emotion/attitude spheres.

LOL, perhaps I should have "specified", it wasn't so much a question directed specifically, but more to do with being a smart@$$. Is that to say dark's or "sith's" can't be "nice" without an hidden agenda motivating it? That's not realistic.

You can certainly be dark and nice....or light and apathetic...humans are complicated enough to pull it off :evil:

Who said nice and dark weren't compatible?

It's a common misconception that if you have a strong inward focus you can't be very nice...when in fact the stronger your inward focus is the nicer you must be in order to achieve your goal...

Manipulation is much easier when you're cordial than when you're not...and manipulation is a multi-use survival tool

Nice meanns nice through and through.

Just so I understand some of you posters, do you really feel it is important to discect the defination of a word? Do you understand the intent of my post and are making an honest contributionor or are you screwing around for a little fun? I just need to know so if I'm trying to have a sincere discussion, I want know weither to ignore the banter, just not to be bothered and ignore with you.

Have all the fun you want, really and truly. I just want to be able to sort it out.
