And intelligent analysis of werewolves? They don't exist. That is a much debate any mature, rational person can have on the topic.

Oh, and JP, he also believes that he saw some sort of flying dinosaur.

You want my opinion? They simply don't exist (never as well) and only come from some dark and old history of the Middle-Ages obscurantism.

Folk lore and fairy tales under the guise of intelligent debate. Nice one…
Weather or not such myths are true is irreverent discussion.

Doesn't mean you can't have fun discussing them, spoil sport. Although it should probably be in GD in that case.

I’m sure there is a small interest in such discussion. I just don’t see why. Let alone believe intelligent and werewolve belong in the same title of anything.


Anyhow rather then continuing my critical stance on the subject, ill leave ya all to it.

irreverent, how so Sedistix? I would use the quote thing but i can't seem to work it out at the moment lol

Some people believe in this stuff so much that they dedicate their whole lives to it. Try telling them that they don't exist without being able to back up your accusations and they'll come up with a 100 reasons to prove to you that they do. No matter how crazy they appear to be to you.

I don't belive in werewolves etc, but as I said, the theory is interesting. Some peoples of the world are bought up beliving in this stuff and it's as real to them as a bigmac or le bigmac is to us.

Default Re: The Reality of Werewolves: An intelligent analysis of Lycanthropy

I see werewolves, vampires, and Frankenstein’s monster as fairy tales, with little substance beneath them. Comparable to soon to be old and decrepit versions of the Hulk, Superman, Spiderman and so on. Give these comics and other newer things several hundred years, and they’ll surely be legends of folk lore too.

Just think about it from the time period. Long ago, comics didn’t exists so entertaining and or frightening tales were told as verbal stories. They were created to evoke thrills of heroism, emotion and tension. Usually for children at bedtime. After time, there age old status became legendary and widespread. Thus perpetuating the very existence of the tale. No hard evidence of any kind can be found on any of them. At least any evidence of creatures. Truth can be found in some of those fairy tale stories, just none pertaining to those oh-so-magical entities.

Like I said, I’m critical on fairy tales, especially those with absurd creatures…

God is an absurd notion to a lot of people but he's been around since creation and I don't think he'll be disappearing in a hurry either. There is no proof of him, yet god knows (boom boom) how many believe in him.

I know where you are coming from though, in regards to them being fairytales comparable to aging comic book characters. But you don't get people in real life say that they were walking down the road at night and were attacked by The Hulk. But you do get reportings of people being bitten by vampires etc etc.
