it would be an interesting comparison if they weren't completely different organizations Zaphod Send a noteboard - 21/10/2010 04:09:31 PM
The Children is a rigorous military organization of dudes whose philosophical underpinnings have led them to distrust channeling. The White Tower is a scheming political organization of females whose only common bond is that they can channel. Of course they're wildly different, without even getting into the questions of differences between Galad and Egwene.

Why wouldn't the Children be more unified, as their common ground is moral? Why wouldn't the White Tower be fractured and petty, as their common ground is the immense power that they wield which makes them elite in the world? I've taught the same seminar to church groups and grade 7 teachers, and church groups have been thoughtful listeners and participants, while grade 7 teachers were only used to being in power and were the most impossible group of people to organize that I've ever worked with (including grade 7 children).

Basically it seems like all your post is saying is that you think men organize better than women, who don't know how to suck it up. And that military organizations make more efficient decisions than a group of powerful politicians. The first is your opinion, the second is obvious.

Go look up the definition of the word atrocity - 25/10/2010 04:53:55 PM 956 Views

You asked for atrocities and you got them. Now you just don't know what to do with them. - 28/10/2010 06:49:16 PM 994 Views
dude, you gave us a list of petty crimes and compared it to mass murder - 28/10/2010 06:59:33 PM 951 Views

But that is irrelevant. Aes Sedai can also go to Amadicia in disguise. *NM* - 21/10/2010 05:35:18 AM 485 Views

They don't wear their uniform, their one identifying feature. That is a disguise. - 21/10/2010 09:08:25 PM 897 Views
