Is it true the second thread was stickied for a few minutes?

Yes, but it was merely a mistake by RaenImrahl.

Well you get off topic and I want i, and as I said before I don't think Banshee is chris because I asked Chris already, and we had a good joke about it.

Ha! Show me the PMs if you don't mind.

I cant believe he actually asked Chris...

First off: Masster, you cant be that stupid

Second off: If Chris is Banshee, do you really think he's going to tell you?

Personally though, the 3rd is the one Amendment I've sworn to make a stand on.

Synthesis/Control can't happen.

Destroy's could easily be the true future as there is no mention of the Geth/Shepard at all..waning they could still be alive. The memorial scene is fake though.

In an effort to bring this back to speculations: Can someone explain why so many people still think the epilogues (not necessarily the space scenes/Normandy scenes) are part of the indoctrination attempt and not actual depictions of the galaxy's future?

It's my belief coming as an overlay-time theorist that the epilogue scenes ARE REAL but everything Shepard faces post "serve us" is fake.

Remember how we talked about religious imagery in the ending and allegory? The writers are explaning how religions and cults are formed.

1. You have past events that are real and are more or less based somewhat on historical events (ME1-near end of ME3)
2. You usually have a mesiah figure who during a short period of time accomplishes miracles and fantastically stories that are scientifically impossible and with logic that sometimes does not make sense (ending of ME3)
3. You have "modern period" epilogue scenes.

Stargazer doesn't know the full details of what happens at the end of ME3 and Shepard in the same way that we in the modern world don't know the full story of Jesus or Mohammed (insert the name of your messiah figure here) and because of that- why people depend on allegory and religious texts. Jesus and Mohammed may have been real people but since "details are lost in time" they've become Legends.

Get it?

That said, the details lost in time does not mean that those details will not be filled...

We can't say for certain whether they are real or not but...if you take all of the endings together there are two pivotal things that can be explained through Shepard's willpower:

1) The soldiers that are fighting the husks.  This point has been mentioned quite a few times.  In Destroy, they continue fighting until the bitter end whereas in Control and Synthesis, the husks are winning out.  This could be an illustration of Shepard's mental state versus Reaper power.  In Control and Synthesis, Shepard doesn't believe he is destroying the Reapers and so if the soldiers are indicative of his willpower, they will not fare well against Reapers.

2) The Normandy memorial wall scene.  When Shepard believes openly accepts his death at the hands of the Reapers, his name is placed on the wall.  In Destroy, the companion not only doesn't place the plaque on the wall but some of them seem to be smirking.  How would the companion be so sure of Shepard's survival as to not place his name on the wall AND smile?  This can be readily explained if they represent part of Shepard's consciousness: at this point of the vid Shepard realizes that he has succeeded and that he is still alive.  This explanation also reconciles very well with Shepard waking up right after the memorial scene

You know what's funny?  The 2nd Amendment doesn't say that EVERYONE can bear arms, despite what most Republicans want you to believe.  Rather, it says that arms may be born by a well regulated militia.  To be honest, I would prefer it if people would interpret this part of the Constitution literally.  I get the feeling that we'd all be a lot safer if we went back to the days of well regulated militias which were actually TRAINED rather than the present where it's possible to own a gun without ANY training.  I get the feeling that accidents would go down quite a bit, if nothing else.

I think one of the reasons americans are so fascinated with everybody having guns is because of a misconception in the 2nd amendment.

From the Us constitution:

As passed by the Congress:

A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the
security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms,
shall not be infringed.

As ratified by the States and authenticated by Thomas Jefferson, Secretary of State:

A well regulated militia being necessary to the
security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms
shall not be infringed.

That means it was supposed to be regulated by the state. People were not allowed to run around with guns the way it please them. They had to form militias, and be regulated by the state.

Traditionally, most militias have a leadership base of retired or honorably discharged military regulars, but remain autonomous in order to sustain a balance of power and flexibility. That gives the bodies trained professionalism, but with a commitment base that is local or family oriented, not state mandated.

The best of these units are faster and more reliable than military bodies, and are far less prone to acts of tyranny due to the understanding of their limited numbers. However, they are a good deterent for aggression. Case in point: Switzerland.

@Dwailing and Estebanus

I'm pretty sure the Supreme Court ruled that it meant everyone had a right to a gun though.

Anyhow, lets not start getting political in here. That gets threads locked.

Since when does a Supreme Court ruling mean anything in America?   Oh, wait...   Anyway, you're right, we shouldn't be getting political (Though I do enjoy a rousing political debate on occasion.  It helps enhance my education on the workings of the world. ).

Don't remind me.

My american grandfather is very conservative in his beliefs, and he owns a large amount of guns. He doesn't even use them responsibly.
So anyway, when I was there a few weeks ago, he decides to take me, my sister, and my 6 year old cousin down to show us his weapons. You know what he did?

He gave my cousin a gun. cal. 45.

And what does my cousin do, not yet knowing the difference between gun and toy?

That's right. he points it towards my face and says "hands up."

I of course don't even know if the gun is loaded, so I start getting scared. My sister had to talk him into giving her the gun.

You see, my grandfather is the last person I'd trust a gun with. That man doesn't know crap about them, and that could have killed me.
