There is one quote, that is from my favorite author/philosopher J.W. Goethe (Johann Wolfgang Goethe). Famous for the book ''Faust'' and master of great poetry, but he had a good quote:
Be above it! Make the world serve your purpose, but do not serve it. - Johann Wolfgang Goethe
.. Here is a second one, that is not better than the first, but holds a place in my heart:
What is uttered from the heart alone, Will win the hearts of others to your own.

Ideas aren't worth defending? That character stands for something, that "stranger" drew that character with the intent of getting some sort of point across. I don't care if it's drawn on paper or sung in a song or puffed up in smoke signals, ideas and principles are worth defending. The Sorrow was stating their opinion on Alan Moore's work not for Alan Moore's personal thanks, but for the sake of the ideas contained within his works and for The Sorrow's own principles.Rigs83 said:
I just happen to disagree with it.
When you have to defend an idea by bombing innocent woman and children on the other side of the world, who were never a threat to you and your ideas, then no an idea is not worth defending because it is just dogma and no longer an idea.SevenStarSonata said:Ideas aren't worth defending?

It was wrong to defend the idea of democracy in Vietnam or freedom in Iraq.
Art may convey an idea but it is a vehicle to sell something that has monetary value. That's why the best sculptures from Greek Antiquity are not in Greece, why the Mona Lisa is in France and not Italy and why Shepard Fairey was arrested at his first museum opening at The Institute of Contemporary Art in Boston.
Art is important but it must defend itself against social morays and those who wish to destroy it.

The Whole Lord Yemma Scene from Team4stars DBZ Abridged is CLASSIC
"I can judge 6 billion souls faster than you can take a piss old man" Yemma to Kami
And
Goku "By the way, Did you see a guy named Raditz come through here, He has spikey hair and a tail"
Yemma "Oh yea I remember that guy, I put him in my patented Yemma lock"
Goku "and it worked?"
Yemma "F**k no, He kicked me in the balls and ran away"
Both lines had me bent double with laughter
