am i the only one who thinks that amon has a fucking good point?
User avatar #48 to #31 - jokerjack (04/24/2012) [-]
I think he does as well. Kind of like Glabatorix for anyone who has read the final Eragon book.

Hopefully you are. He's turning it into a war of have's vs. have-not's. Getting rid of bending won't solve a damn thing. People will kill each other anyway they can.
User avatar #37 to #35 - DiAnonLord (04/24/2012) [-]
people wll coninue to fight, no doubt
but he does raise the point that the abilities are used by te mob and there seems to be quite the difference in economic status between benders and non-benders
User avatar #42 to #37 - megamanfan (04/24/2012) [-]
dude, he has soldiers that can easily take care of benders, we've seen that. not equal my dick
User avatar #43 to #42 - DiAnonLord (04/24/2012) [-]
yeah i'm gonna bet that's like another kind of bending, it requires special training and probably not everyone is capable of doing so

besides the show shows that benders abuse their abilities for extortion,not all of them of course, but still
User avatar #46 to #43 - megamanfan (04/24/2012) [-]
exactly, benders and non benders can be good or evil. so amon has no point in saying that only benders are oppressive.
User avatar #55 to #46 - DiAnonLord (04/24/2012) [-]
he does generalise too much, but he does have a point in the fact that some benders abuse their power to the point forming mafias and the government doesn't do much about it
User avatar #38 to #37 - ThisIsConnor (04/24/2012) [-]
So what? There's a solid economic difference based solely on where people are born, or what color there skin is, or how just plain lucky they are. Bending is just another point where some people will be different than others. If it's that big of a deal, all the non-benders can get off there fat asses and learn to chi-block the same way benders got off there fat asses and learned to bend.

people dont learn how to bend. they just find a way to control it better. People are born with the ability, and if you find out that you can bend then you train to master it
User avatar #62 to #60 - ThisIsConnor (04/24/2012) [-]
But only if you want to. Katara SUCKED when she first started off. Every bender does. They make the effort to learn.

that's like saying that poor people are poor because they are lazy. it seems to be a sort of dominance of benders, who have absolute control of the police and government, and therefore control and an unfair advantage over the entire population

it's obvious that amon himself is just a man exploiting the discontent of the system. but it feels to me that it's a sort of occupy movement with an ideology of fighting to overthrow th regime instead of peaceful protest or reforms and with a corrupted leader who clearly seeks personal power, this doesn't mean that the problems he exposes are false
User avatar #45 to #40 - ThisIsConnor (04/24/2012) [-]
This sounds to me like something similar to trying to solve poverty, which frankly, is physically impossible and will never happen.

So what are you saying? The world would be a better place without bending?
User avatar #50 to #45 - DiAnonLord (04/24/2012) [-]
no, but i'm saying that amon has a point in the problems brought about with bending
not saying anything else, i'm not even saying i agree with him
#52 to #50 - ThisIsConnor (04/24/2012) [-]
But you... AH FUCK IT. You just led me in a circle only to say you may not even agree with him?

FFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUU---
#54 to #52 - DiAnonLord (04/24/2012) [-]
u mad bro?

His parents were killed by a fire-bender. Mako and Bolin's parents were killed by a fire bender. Is it just coincidence?

I Think the show is sneaking an anti-jew message in the show
"Benders are the cause of all the worlds wars"
