    It certainly didn't work for me; clever put-downs, withering looks, abuse in kind, aggression, physical violence, ignoring it, walking away, suffering in silence, looking for help... nothing worked. Nothing. I never found a way to stop it.
    Too true, the worse of it was that I couldn't see why they were doing it to me.
    Arriving at uni and finding that life wasn't always like that was a complete revelation to me.
    In my first year I though the same thing, but it turned out that just survinging up to that time had burned me out. I fell into depression the second year and got trown out, now I'm trying to pick up my life again and figure out what to do now.

  20. Re:The worst thing in Revolution on The Matrix: Resolutions · · Score: 1

    Smith and other agents were designed with the ability to infect humans connected to the Matrix, but unable to duplicate. Smith had studied biological life forms, as can be seen in his monologue in "The Matrix". After Neo blew Smith to peaces he reformed himself with the ablility to duplicate himeself and also with the ablity to infect other programs, and humans not hardwired to the Matrix.
    The interesting question is why. Maybe he decided the only way to kill the the "human virus", was to turn himself into a virus. Maybe he wanted to be at different places at the same time, or maybe just a mutation.

    "They did a lot. It's all very subtle."

    Handwaving seems to work on you. There was nothing subtle in the movie. I can't count the times when I just knew what happens next (and I haven't seen the second one). Of course Neo isn't really blind. Trinity wasn't justr lieing there, of course she has been impaled. Smith is the opposite of Neo? Of course they will both die. Smith absorbed Neo? That was, of course, a trojan.
    And what's with the stupid machines? We will now swarm around and let the humand fire at us... It's better to ram a rocket heading for the drill than to take out those who fire the rockets... We don't know how to kill humans, we just cut them a lot until they die... We have lasers, let's not use them...
