| quote: |
| Machiavelli's best known work is The Prince, in which he describes the arts by which a Prince (a ruler) can retain control of his realm. He focuses primarily on what he calls the principe nuovo or "new prince", under the assumption that a hereditary prince has an easier task since the people are accustomed to him. All a hereditary prince needs to do is carefully maintain the institutions that the people are used to; a new prince has a much more difficult task since he must stabilize his newfound power and build a structure that will endure. This task requires the Prince to be publicly above reproach but privately may require him to do things of an evil nature in order to achieve the greater good. |
a collection of his books:
http://www.constitution.org/mac/niccolo.htm
if you read nothing else, read The Prince. you're sure to enjoy it and learn from it.
this is good read, it applies since he wrote the books, and after , and to present time.
not just in global domination, but in day to day life. it is a philosophy, of balanced generosity, not to be hated, and to rule, even if by fear. how to work together, even if they are being paid to follow. how to overthrow, and who to kill after.
there is nothing deeper than this. this is acclaimed, even to this day.
Machiavellism

if you're a 13 year old boy, it's awsome, if not, you'll have some cool special effects to look at with a plot from Spy Kids. see Die Hard if you want a mature action, fuck see Harry Potter if you want a mature action with good CGI.

so i wasn't the only one. yea, it's fucking gay, it's a movie targetd for people my age, that grew up on that stuff, yet they kept it targetting the original audiance age bracket.
doesn't make sense, but he Micheal Bay wanted it to be a family movie.
Originally they wern't suppose to talk, but the ridculousness of their speech is acceptable for children.
if it were to be mature, they wouldn't talk. to be honest, i wish it was violent, but the Army sponsored the movie, lending them teh tanks and stealth bombers for the shots, so there's a lot of Bias for the PURITY of the ARMY and how GOOD and TRUTH fighting tehy are.
soo......
if you want a good CGI movie, see Harry Potter.
if you want a good action see DIE HARD
if you a movie with cgi and action for children under the age of 9 see Transformers.
