?Victor the dead beat God:
And his son the ultimate bas-tard?

By: Cedric Henry

The question of Frankenstein being good or evil is a funny one because he, in his monstrous state is actually more human than the world Mary Shelly portrayed in the book.
  Forged by human hands, strength and intellect amplified ten-fold, yet alone; shunned by society and lacking the love of Dr. Frankenstein who is, through creating him, his father. He is everything any human, if given his exact circumstances, would be and I argue that it is not him that is evil but the world in which he was thrown into.
    Abandoned by his father, who because of his own idealistic views on beauty, refused to receive his newly born child into the world and left to his own to fend off the prejudice of the villagers on an uncalled for lynching mission against him solely on the basis of his physical state. The animalistic side of humanity shines through as mob after mob violently oppose this friendly creature innocently looking for acceptance and maybe comradery in a cold world which seems to have no trace of love in its borders.
   Dr. Victor Frankenstein commits the first foul act against him when, on the day of his birth, he judges his baby-like reach for mother to be a death threat. Running out of the room and away from him. Fleeing from all the due responsibility he has to teach, and nurture his child.
    The sad and evil part of this story isn?t the revenge he took but his father?s fundamentally ignorant assumption that his creation was evil just because he wasn?t a beautiful creation. He was labeled: Evil from day one. Everyone he saw thought he was evil, even his own father. He was a playful young spirited thing by all of his humble refusals to exact revenge on the humans that pelted him with rocks and chased him with torches. He was a victim of matters which he had no control over and any half-intelligent person with even a drop of empathy could relate. This caused him to be not only shunned by but victimized by society until his ego was thoroughly mutated into the devious being which committed the vengeful acts against his creator. All he wanted from the family he watched and human kind was acceptance. For someone to show him any other emotion except hate. And that wasn?t even possible after he?d repented his sins against Victor, vowing to leave the human world so long as he had a companion; Victor breaking his vow turns on him, forgetting two negatives don?t create a positive and if anything he should be trying to guide his creation on his quest for inner peace and through that was the ultimate dead beat dad.
   It is common for children to act out when they are abandoned by a parent.  Growing up without a father or mother figure adversely affects people. Parents shield their children from the worlds trappings and relay information on survival. They lead us to things vital to our positive growth and development of survival skill. At least that?s what they?re supposed to do. Some, like Victor Frankenstein, cast their responsibilities into the wind hoping for them to just blow away while they actually fester into things so vile that they kill you emotionally and destroy innocence.
   Victor was dealing with life and death? Things presumable only left to God. Things they say you?d be wise not to fool with ?less you want to feel the mighty hand of God as he punishes those descending from his grace, and there was Victor? running from him. Thinking his creation was a monster? Feel the almighty hand of God.

I\'m not even in college yet and i feel i\'ll prolly dropout.
I dont have any drive, i hate hard work and if all I had to do was just think stuff and it\'d happen, then i\'d prolly stop thinking. I\'m gonna be a year late going because i failed chemisty twice, algebra 2 twice and spanish2 twice, this\'ll be my third time takin them. Now is there any advice that someone who can relate can give to make doing this crap easier till I get to  the things that excite me...Money, girls, art, literature, videogames and tv (in that order)
 

I havent been on in a long while, but yeah, just wanted to say sum\'n...mission accomplished

I saw the matrix two and loved it. I thought it was cool how they incorporated so much depth into the movie discussing existence from a scientific viewpoint and all but I found alot of people didn\'t like the ending. I thought it was good adding some suspense with the machnine and man side by side. anyway, I was wondering what others thought about it.

The whole \"ruling class\" concept was thought up by me.
so \"the k\'s\" will have to excuse my laughs when i see then speak about ruling anything. And recently alot of weak attempts at tarnishing the hitman image were made
I resent the implications of your posts,

I was not widely disliked....
Maybe an aquired taste to some, but not hated...

so
close yah lips bout the hitman clan/scope.

it\'s like if i bag on you, people see me as an alternate and more real, if you bag on use, you just lower urslef and look stupid.
and i\'m smart enough to see this and come up with a better guild growing model than you could ever dream of
so like nas said: \"You better hate me now...\".
cause You can\'t stop the hitman clan....
and you look stupid trying.

think about this...If we were just a bunch of hated noobs who tried to put together a clan...why are you so heated by use??

this is a thread to discuss contemporary

 politics and (its ok to conjure up things of the past if

they play into your statement)

The game goes as such, I\'ll post a statement about a

political practice then anyone can responde with

another statement. Argumentative statements are ok,

but useless arguing is not allowed. if the topic gets

boring I\'ll restate on another, else we continue.
