Heroism, Tragedy: Dark Knight, Alex Teves. Dark Knight Rises Thoughts
So back in 2008 I worked at a video store, I went to see The Dark Knight, (the second in the trilogy) Heath Ledgers final performance (as he had died before it's opening) as the Joker and boy was it amazing. In some ways over the years I became a movie critic as when you work at a video store you get to watch everything. And Dark Knight is definitely very high quality material, a movie that I have watched time and time again, a movie I was so excited about showing some friends who had never seen it even by 2011!. Anyway today I asked my dad to come and see the final in the trilogy with me after reading the awful news about a horrible tragedy in a Colorado cinema, but boy was I paranoid! I never mentioned this incident to Father as I don't want to make him any more paranoid than he can be. Sometimes our thoughts take hold of us, the older we get the more we seem to decline with thoughts of delusion, it seems to be a tenancy in our family with my passed grandma. Anyway I thought this might be the last chance me and my dad go to a movie together (since it seems like we only go to the movies once every ten years together), so we ended up going. I thoroughly enjoyed this movie, I still believe the second one was the best, but there is no way I could miss this movie, as I have waited four years and it never ceases to amaze me watching the psychology of a true hero, a person who fights for a symbol, an idea that can never be defeated. Unfortunately James Holmes must have lost hold of this, as it's movies like this that should of shown people like James the very heart of a hero and love of his people.
In the description of the murderer James Holmes, I noticed he was a very isolated person who left university, was dumped by his girlfriend and was being kicked out of his house, a person who played video games, someone who lost touch with reality. I myself tend to be more introverted and so I could identify with him in some level. I have also lost a girlfriend, I have also left tertiary education, I have also been asked to leave several houses for various reasons, I also played video games, I also can be isolated, the intensity, pressure and suffering can build up. As someone who is fascinated by psychology I am wondering where things went wrong and what causes actions such as these? Here is a video of Holmes speaking at a camp back when he was 18, a shy but intelligent person (like many of us):
We godless agnostics/atheists are not all heartless. Words cannot express and tears have swelled up a few times, how deeply saddened this has made me. Although one nice thing came out of this, the victims got to meet Christian Bale:
Perhaps in the following documentary one of the following diagnosis matches James Holmes. The following documentary is a must watch, for those interested in psychology and superheroism and the dark knight himself!
There was one hero in this whole incident: Alex Teves, a living batman, the man who saved his girlfriend and covered her up and protected her. Read more about him and the other innocent victims including a six year old girl here.
One of the key defining characteristics or features of a superhero is found in all the greatest fictional or non-fictional superhero characters who put their own lives on the line time after time, never ask for praise or thanks or worship, they just do it out of their own sense of moral duty and obligation. Superhero's are always humble (except you Ironman!) and they expect nothing in return even when they are considered villians or bad guys by the citizens, a great man like Alex inbound knew his situation was incoming death but faced death head on, that's what a hero is.
This is a big shout out to all the real life superheroes like Alex Teves, people like you will never be forgotten. I wish I had the balls of a hero like this.
Here is my flowers to his family, girlfriend and friends:
I hope you find the hero inside.

Muslim Child Brides And Rape In New Zealand
Unfortunately child victims of rape are being forced to marry the rapist, sounds biblical? Well in this case it's Islamic! In fact this a modern (and ancient) endemic of the Islamic World! As indeed statutory rape is sanctioned by Islam because the last and greatest final prophet Mohammed whom married a child is the perfect role model for all Muslim and mankind. I viewed the following videos a few years ago. Unfortunately the following took place in my home country of New Zealand. However this sort of practice is not limited to New Zealand. Usually wherever Muslims migrate there are a smaller percentage of Muslims who cause similar problems because of the culture that strident forms of Islam produce. While I have many Muslim friends whom I consider friends and believe many Muslims would never commit such an act, I can never doubt that Islam is a contributing factor to this kind of on-going twisted backwards cultural phenomenon. And I always maintain the problem with religious moderates is that they are inadvertently and by association with causing the indirect consequence and perpetuating such actions by approving and endorsing the horrible world view behind it. Please just think about the implications of the world view in which you support. Even if there was no direct injunction in Islam to sanction statutory rape, would statutory rape still be an indirect social consequence of certain Islamic teachings? Please think seriously.

Guilty plea in plan to attack U.S. with model-plane bombs
Well by now you have probably heard of the antics of the notorious Aissa Al Ghazi (check, here, here and here). Turns out what Aissa was doing, was deadly close to a similar terrorist plot (thanks to Royalson):
BOSTON (Reuters) - A Massachusetts man charged with plotting to attack the Pentagon and the U.S. Capitol with large, remote-controlled model airplanes packed with explosives has agreed to plead guilty, authorities said on Tuesday.
Prosecutors and defence attorneys have agreed to request a 17-year sentence for Rezwan Ferdaus on charges that he attempted to damage and destroy a federal building, and attempted to provide material support to terrorists.
Ferdaus, 26, of Ashland, Massachusetts, earlier pleaded not guilty to a total of six charges after his arrest in September 2011 after an undercover FBI investigation.
In exchange for the guilty plea, the government will dismiss the remaining charges.
A U.S. citizen and a physics graduate from Northeastern University, Ferdaus was arrested after an FBI investigation during which he requested and took delivery of explosives, three grenades and six assault rifles from undercover FBI agents.
At the time of his arrest, Ferdaus had obtained one remote-controlled aircraft, a scale model of a U.S. Navy F-86 Sabre fighter jet about the size of a picnic table, which he kept in a storage locker rented under a false name.
Authorities said the public was never in danger from the explosives and weapons, which they said were always under the control of federal officials during the sting operation.
The government had previously alleged that Ferdaus told undercover agents of his plans to commit acts of violence against the United States by decapitating its "military centre" and killing "kafirs," an Arabic term meaning non-believers.
In 2010, already under surveillance, Ferdaus allegedly supplied 12 mobile phones rigged as electrical switches for improvised explosive devices to FBI agents whom he believed to be members of or recruiters for al Qaeda.
Ferdaus' attorneys suggested during a bail hearing in November that their client had mental health issues, and that his attack plan was "fantasy."

Why Physics Ends the Free Will Debate
Lol this is the physics, we should look at it from a neuroscience view. Every experience makes us who we are.Are brain is a empty computer that's filled by its environment, culture etc.. TheMidwestsk8ter
We cannot know exactly where the electron is but this doesn't mean that it doesn't have a determined position, it's just impossible for us to know that determined position therefore impossible to make absolute predictions but it doesn't mean that the reality isn't deterministic. QuantumDice
