As much fun as I have pretending werewolves are real it's a shame to say they're not, but, well...they're not real.
Seriously though, just think of the issues that would arise if you did manage to find or create a werewolf.
1) If they were real and you found one, you wouldn't live to tell anyone.
2) If they were real, good luck finding them. Over the centuries there have been rumours of werewolves amd no one's ever caught one. If they do exist, they'd be really fucking rare.
3) How would you even go about creating a werewolf. First you would have to find a person willing to experiment on. Second, you would have to find someone of supreme physical and mental fitness (even they don't exist) and lastly, you would have to find a way of funding these experiments and you would need the government to approve this. This won't happen.
4) If someone managed to create a werewolf, we would all be in great danger as they could quite easily fuck us up.
Just let the dream go because this is just gonna end up like the other topic. As it involves most of the same people it will most likly go in the same direction.

Well, whatever you believe in, I suggest that you keep it to yourself, because it'll just bring up some issues. Coming out of the....closet.....or woods in this case isn't as lenient as you wished, uh? But I assure you, no one is going to put on pointy white hoods and start burning crosses, I hope.
Just be careful of what you say. Everything has it's consequence. And unfortunately and as shocking as some might think, I am upset that things have to resort to banning members. Though it might be deserved, things could have been avoided. In this case, try to think before you say anything. That would go for everyone, as it does myself.
Furthermore, no one can say what does and doesn't exist. We can't say aliens exist. We can't say G-d exists either. Until there is sufficient evidence I won't believe, nor will I concur with any theory. I have never seen a werewolf, debatingly other than my old, hairy teacher from seventh grade, that can be of proof that they exist. So, I think you can figure where I stand.
And oh yeah, giant octopuses do exist. They once were thought hoaxes created from drunken sailors and people who had nothing else to do in their lives. They wash up on shore every now and then. One was caught on camera a few months ago as it attacked a man. What do you know...A screwy myth was proved right for once.
Giant octipuses hu? I saw that video on the news.
Certainly I'm not going to say I believe. I don't. I guess what you say is kind of right. I mean, has anyone seen the movie "Dogma"? It's a good movie. Funny too. Chris Rock is in it as he plays and apostle who was stoned to death and came back to life. He said something about it being a bad idea in having a belief and creating a system around it. It's better to just have a good idea rather than a belief.
It went something like that. And really, I think this way. Beliefs get people killed. People die for beliefs. Wars occur because of it. I'm not part of any belief system. It doesn't make me an atheist. It just means that I keep an open mind about things. So, until I see that that seventh grade teacher in person I'm not going to be certain of anything!
And remember, just because someone said that they'll make you a werewolf by joining their cult, it doesn't make it true. You're just going to drink some punch that will make you sleep for a very long time. So, think twice before drinking any gator-aid of any sort.

Well thats about aquatic creatures which are harder to catalogue. Most if not all of the wilderness on earth has been searched numerous times. The probability of a new creature that no one has seen before is low. And as for werewolf tales, most in the US resemble more of something like a big foot.
Now, I said this the last time and I'm gonna say it again. Just because Zen isn't around doesn't mean you can take the time to take free shots. There's nothing on this topic that has anything to do with that issue so it does not need to be brought up.

Its stupid to believe in the impossible or improbable. Believe in the probable or possible. Explore and examine the improbable and impossible.
The logic most people use for things like werewolves and such is that scientists don't have all the answers and that somehow believing in that impossible will mean that someday it will be possible. Thats just not right. And anyways there are much more important things to explore than creating or discovering werewolves. As I said earlier, how about a cure for cancer? Cure for AIDS? Solution to world hunger? A new energy source, a cheap reliable energy source? Science isn't there to discover something for aesthetic need or a fetish.
Edit: Let me add, believing in something impossible can lead to a subjective view and possibly dangerous ethical consequences in such a search.

Well with Iran and its nuclear program and the possibility of a nuclear weapons program and its consequences, it may be sooner than we think. Definitely stands to be far more scarier than the Cold War.
And probably just reduce, plants need the CO2 and I'm sure some of those other gases might be a little essential to create the proper atmosphere.

Its most likely hear-say. The thing is that we don't know where all their stuff is. A secret underground centrifuge plant was discovered in Natanz a few years back and they've been less than forth coming with the IAEA. So where and how much stuff they have is somewhat difficult to determine. And as it stands the US is over extended and Iran has a lot of terrorist connections, particularly Hezbollah. Israel has made a threat to attack the completed Bushehr similar to what they did to Iraq, but its unlikely, they have to fly over multiple other countries' air space to get to Iran and they are unlikely to get permission. The real danger in the future is Iran shooting a nuke at Israel or vice versa. Instead of 30 mins to react they will only have a few minutes to determine if the attack is real or not. So mistakes can be made if Iran was to get nuclear weapons. Not to mention that other nations surrounding them will most likely seek weapons too for fear of Iran, particularly Iraq, which is already so muddled. This is why we need to stay in Iraq until the goverment is well established and working properly. Because nuclear weapons in Iraq could mean easy access to terrorists from within or without. I don't think I need to mention the possibility of Iran distributing as well though.
To all of the posters: Please don't stop stupid flame wars. There are many ways to tell things.

Now YOU'RE acting like Matolf. How are you-- or rather, we, sure that HollyPissFuck and half-heartedly written legends are right all along if they really existed? Don't tell me you're becoming paranoid just because some inbred director/producer thought it'd be "in the times" to make a werewolf movie where everybody dies except the main character who looks like a bimbo or a teenaged nerd holding the wrong end of an old rifle.
And what kind of technical idiot would purposefully create a werewolf that's bulletproof to anything, except silver? How would the so-called "allergy" to silver really work in accordance to REAL science -- OUR science? How would the real science go prior to the issue of "hey, guys... ? It's the full moon. I can't control the change. I need to rip one of you folks apart."? How would the real science go prior to them being able to do feats like doing whatever a spidey can, jump like Vincent Valentine, and--
...
Ok, i've said more than enough.
Look, i apologise if i'm pulling the Zen, but i felt that your reason for being chickenshit at the thought of werewolves existing was a complete excuse. IMO...

And that is the typical answer that people who beleive in werewolves -or anything that is iimpossible- gives when they go no more arguments.
1- They obiviously don't exist on earth, or we'd know. You have as much probabilities of seeing a werewolf on earth as seeing the lochness monster. 0%
2-They won't exist in the future either. Like ritter said, what's the point in making them actually? Humanity got more important things on it's hands than satisfying some werewolves fanatics dreams. Also, Vampires-fans would want to create vampires, Dragons-fans would want to make Dragons and so on.

2-They won't exist in the future either. Like ritter said, what's the point in making them actually? Humanity got more important things on it's hands than satisfying some werewolves fanatics dreams. Also, Vampires-fans would want to create vampires, Dragons-fans would want to make Dragons and so on.
3-Your best hope is that somewhere on a planet some hundreds of thousands of light years from earth on which there is some wolf-like humanoids that evolved pretty much like we did from apes.
You'd be hard pressed to find a genetic evolutionary ancestors that are related between the canine family and the ape family. As for the lochness monster, meh, its a little different here.

How am I like Matolf? We are, like, totally opposite. He won't let go of the fact that werewolves aren't real and i'm trying to say why they shouldn't be real. Think about it. Would you want werewolves to be real?
I was half-asleep, ok? I didn't pay attention to all of what he says.
And yes, i'd dream of them being real.
No. I don't tell anyone why.

Erm, dude. The Loch Ness Monster does exist. There have been many things to prove it's existance. There have been pictures and videos taken as well as sonar hand thermal scanning. The last 2 provided similar results. A large oblong blob, too big to be a fish and too compact to be a shoal of fish. There have also been recordings of strange roars and other sounds comming from the Loch.

Dude, if there was really something in there, they would commercialize it more don't you think? They'd prolly try to make it into a circus or zoo of sorts., no?

Maybe I wasn't clear here. I wasn't talking of humans that evolved into wolves, but more about some wolf-like creatures ('cause we couldn't really call them wolves, now could we?) that had evolved into humanoîds. Yeah, I know, not really a werewolf, but anyway, the nasa/esa are too busy to plan the first human trip on mars and the lauch of a satelite toward the "second earth" they found. Also, one would have more chance stepping into a black hole that'd lead into a parallel dimension where Micheal Jackson wasn't pedophile than to find a planet with wolf-like humanoids. Better?

I get the feeling that you used that "Dude" spitefully. lol. Anyhoo, there was zoos and circuses at Loch Ness but as there was no recent sightings of the monster, their main attraction was no longer there. They moved to more profitable locations.
Please, don't make fun of Michael Jackson. He was found not guilty of the charges. Wasn't he? That means he didn't do it.
Now, back on topic. Werewolves don't exist. I think the most likely source of werewolves would come from the government doing some really nasty stuff to a guys D.N.A. like combining some of it with wolf D.N.A.

Nah, the thread seems to be dying =P
Mmmm I like to believe in werewolves when I'm drawing them. Te same way you believe in the story you see from an animation , or a movie or a game... you believe at that momment and you get yourself be driven as you use your imagination thourgh it... is fairly a good way to explore new ideas or just to have fun with it.
I think it's even fun to talk about them in forums they way if they could be real, what they could be, or take interesting theories as studies and chat about it...and then keep the possible answer for yourself, into your dreams.
But if you find yourself in somekind of fake black magic, going into weird rituals or something really nasty like that...believe me, yo've crossed the line of reality....
So there is no harm in "believe" and continue your normal life, as you don't go yelling if someone point you that you're just dreaming, because believe over unreal things is not as bad as they just make your life more entertaining in the process....but no more :howl:

Pardon my idiocy again, but that's a rather strong judgment about the general definition of the word "belief". You have to remember that when you use words it's not 0% or 100% absolute.
Just like when someone asks me if i believe in ghosts. I'd say "I kinda do. But i'm not saying shitall till i see one for myself". That's like 50% belief.
Yes, Hitler believed, but he got himself killed, but that doesn't mean it would make "belief" look worse than it is right now. He was, in many inarguable ways, mislead in his ideals. And like Hitler, people who believe they can fly are just shitting themselves, but again, that shouldn't make "belief" look shit.
Personally, i believe that there are "mild believers" who believe in many things, true or no, but are only believing either because they are curious, or just plain dreamy. I would be happy to acknowledge this, but with other people, that's really their own decision. Who else would scold you for making the "wrong" choices, apart from your parents, eh?

05-14-2007, 01:09 PM
I'm going to have to voice my agreement with some other posters here and say it isn't wrong to believe, as everyone can do what they wish, however the extent to which you take that belief will either judge something to be taken too far or not. Believing in the existence of werewolves, while kind of silly (to me at least), doesn't do harm to a person or others around them. Its a certain suspension of belief that they want to participate in. What's wrong with the suspension of reality?
When I go to play Warcraft, isn't that suspension of reality? I'm playing in a made up, fantasy world fighting an evil Black Dragonflight and demons from the Burning Legion as a Tauren Shaman. Isn't that crazy? I suspend my real life for a few hours of belief in a fantasy world where I become my character.
Now, you might argue that believing in the existence of werewolves is completely different from that, but is it? I'm not so sure. Finding solace in a fantasy world separate from reality isn't much different from entertaining the fact that believe supernatural events might occur or exist... things that cannot be explained by science. Me? I'm ok with that. I may not believe in it, but I think it's ok for someone to believe in it, as long as it doesn't hurt or impede the rights and lives of others around you.
Now, if I believed I was a Tauren Shaman and went around with a heavy mace cracking people over the head while yelling, "WINDFURY PROC!"... yeah, you should lock me up. Likewise, if someone is going out into the wilderness and drinking rainwater from the paw prints of wolves or performing satanic rituals of sacrifice to bring the malevolent spirit of a wolf into his or her body... well yeah, you should be locked up for your own wellbeing as well as the safety of others.
Idea's can be taken to extremes. It's been done over and over in history, from the micro to the macro scale. And though we may not respect those ideas because we think them :wacko: , perhaps those people still deserve a little respect and space in their personal lives. Hey, like I said, I do a little suspension of belief every night when I roleplay my warcraft character. Ok, it isn't the same as believing in werewolves, but would you deny me my fun? I would hope not!

Because humans have imaginations.
That's it.
Werebeasts were first created as a tale to keep people from doing things.
Example: From staying out late, pick pocketing, drinking from a puddle or having sex with an animal.
Not...because they might be real. It was a fear thing.
For another example: Little Red Riding Hood.
I know there are a ton of people out there who'd like to think there's some kind of magical thing behind Werebeasts, but the truth is, that there's just not.

Anyway, do they exist? I do not believe they do, but you can never know. I mean it. Do you think creatures like that would let us find them? I still wish they did, but its a silly thing to wish. Would they be friendly, violent, or in between?
Did they exist? Yes, but not in the sense you may think. Myths are normally derived from exaggerated truths and werewolves are no exception, lycanthropy was/is a disease. There was no transformation on full moons, thats just when they were often out. The "change" was over a long period of time and it didn't reverse. Their hair would grow out faster and wilder, their mentality was affected heavily which made them more feral, etc... If you saw them you would think, "The Wolfman," because thats what these people looked like.
There is a whole website about this, I'm only touching on it.
P.S.- If my old thread was still around then there wouldn't be threads like this, but alas it is lost to the internetz.

But my grandpa used to say that a large wolf like creature used to roam around our ceremonial grounds and several people that were with my grandpa said they saw it too. So that just tells u were i stand on this.

Despite the entire werewolf theory being a myth, it is one of the highly anticipated myths of them all. It has inspired millions to contribute related novels, films and video games with their own interpretations of werewolves.
In other words, I don't believe in the theory, but I am still interested in the concepts that people create. However, it might actually be possible to create actual humanoid animals through advanced processes of scientific research and experiments. Of course, the outcome would be unpredictable.

The amount of hostility in the first few pages is astounding. What makes people so angry and aggressive about this? No one is calling them liars(they have no reason to be defensive, their arguement has more credibility), as there is no real proof of such things yet.
However, I have to say I beleive. Despite what wondrous things that have been done with science, people aren't that smart when it comes to common sense. It's fairly easy to walk around a city at night without being seen (try it, it's fun). People stick to well lighted areas and houses.
So, shouldn't it be logical that there ARE things we haven't seen?
Take the colecanth(I think that's what it's called), it was just discovered a few years ago. A fish, we previously thought extinct, swimming in the waters of the Baja California area.
I have to say I believe, but not in the traditional myths. We've probably skewered the original werewolf's image horribly, but I do think that creatures lik that exist.

Occul, you're comparing an aquatic fish to a land based mammal. There's way more free space in the ocean and much more inaccessible places than on land.
As for walking around the city at night unseen, are you really sure that people didn't see you? They could've glanced over and thought weirdo or something, I don't know lol. But the thing about common sense is it's just that, common. The majority of people have common sense, otherwise it wouldn't be common sense.
And yes we've skewed the werewolf myth for a long time. But then again it's a varied myth that's changed over time regardless and is different in different places. There are some things that have for the most part up until about modern history that have stayed the same.
Last, probably not a good idea to comment on some of the more flammable posts in this topic. You'll notice that they were written quite a while ago. Best to let sleeping dogs lie, or in this case wolves. :P
On another note...
I recently discovered Mystery Ezekude, that scientists did in fact create a hybrid embryeo (sorry for the miss spell). However, it did not survive.
Scientists have done some genesplicing experiments. Glowing tobacco leaves etc. Most recently there were pigs in China that had human blood, and some lab mice at I want to say Stanford or Harvard whose brain was 2% human. Most of these experiments though have been done to provide a way to farm organs (or blood) and cure some diseases. Nothing really along the lines of creating human animals or vice versa.

One thing no one has taken into account is spirits in the supernatural world. Maybe a spirit takes possession of a person and causes them to act like an animal, like a werewolf, and ppl can only refer it to an animal by the way it acts and all. Just an idea though i believe its possible because i have seen spirit possession before.

There is a mental condition called Lycanthropy. Basically, people that believe they are werewolves act like it on the full moon, but don't transform or anything like that.

i know that but nobody takes into account spiritualism because in africa, they believe animals have spirits that could possess u. And when i've seen spirits and stuff in the woods, they look like animals and sound like animals but there r no animals there. So could there be a spirit of a wolf like entity able to possess ppl and cause them to act like a "werewolf"? who knows? but from what i have seen in my experiences and from what i have studied, there could possibly be something out there like that

I believe that it could be possible through hardcore GE, but its not the sort of thing I think about at night.

There are some things that will not be explained in this world. They can't be explained or truly rationalized. Yet, a lot of people will sit back and think, "Huh. What the hell was that?"
People find excuses. The create stories. They create myths. The story is twisted from one version to another. And inevitably, a common element is created. It's an anomaly, a lie, and to a degree, it will make sense. The anomaly creates a story of its own, and the original reason and fear is gone, replaced by something more tangible.
But in the end, no matter what anyone believes or thinks, and no matter how much you wish it to be true, it doesn't change the fact that it explains nothing, proves nothing, or the fact that it is nothing.
I'm not arguing whether or not werewolves exist. Because, really, I don't give a flying fuck whether or not they do. And anyone who has the capacity for complex thought will understand what I'm saying (or at least, what I'm trying to say).
What I am arguing is the fact that it is utterly useless and idiotic to spend time arguing it. Time is too short. LIFE is too short. Today, when you woke up, you woke up one day closer to your death. And you are here, spending that time arguing with people on the internet. And you just know some of these people haven't hit puberty and they just think they're cool because everyone gets to see their opinion on a neat little screen that lights up. I know. I was once there. Most of you all were too. And you, right now, are arguing whether or not a mythical creature exists with some of those hormonal, social disrupted, pre-teens.
You must make your parents proud.
Now don’t get my tone wrong. My tone here isn’t angry or bitchy; it’s satirical and somewhat spiritual. Perhaphs even borderline sarcastic. So I’m not “ranting” or trying to come off as a complete ass, I’m just saying. That’s all. This is what I believe and think there’s some sense to it.
But, you want to know my answer to the original question? OK. Fine. I'm going to pull a philosophical answer out of my hat. Just to satisfy someone out there, and even myself.
YES. Werewolves exist. We imagine them, we give them attributes, personalities, stories. We put them on paper or in the corners of our mind. We feed them our hopes, our desires, our fear, our hate. We put a bit of ourselves into the creatures and worlds we create, and it becomes something more than a myth or fiction. It becomes real.
If one can create it, it exists. And what is a werewolf, but the creation of one's imagination?

By your logic we should all just be Eloi. Sitting around doing absolutely nothing. Argument, more specifically debate are the epitamy of social interaction. The more meaningful social interaction a child and a person in general gets, the more intelligent they can become. Although it's debate on the internet, it still can, if the person is actively participating, broaden our knowledge and our intellect. It's not really a waste of time. Are there other things that should have more priority in life, of course. But that doesn't mean spending time here or any other place debating is necessarily a waste of time.
Last, this isn't Imaginationland.

Heh, not imagination land? Oh, right. That's the Creative Den.
Oh well. I said my piece and it's what I believe. And... I'm not really sure what Eloi is, but I never said we should do nothing. There's just better things to argue about than the existence of a mythical creature.
And if this was a real debate (please, let's not argue the definition of that), then there'd be evidence, data, and actual scientific fact supporting the existence of werewolves or not.
So, I don't see an argument going on here. Because, like you Neoritter, I believe a good, healthy argument is beneficial. No. What I see here is bickering. And there's a big difference. I should have clarified on that.

Obviously you haven't read H.G. Wells...
If you are you talking about the posts that occurred 2 some years ago then you're seeing an argument. If it's the ones in the last two months or so, then there is some semblance of debate. Please make the distinction since those trains of thought aren't running anymore.
No the main offense I'm having here is the "grand standing", for lack of a better word, that I'm seeing in you post. And I attempted to diplomatically point it out. But, this is a forum that's for a werewolf comic in the section specifically made for discussion about werewolves. This topic is perfectly valid, the discussion in it is perfectly valid, the people in it are perfectly valid. If you don't want to discuss and debate it, then don't post. Rather than attempt to insult people on this forum.
Now you can call your tone "satirical and spiritual" or whatever you want to call it. But the words being used with the emphasis you attributed to some of them, makes the meaning and the context. Tone is irrelevant and moot in a text based discussion.
Again if you think it's beneath you to participate in this, feel free to not and go about your business. Since you obviously have more important things to do.
BTW - Imaginationland was a reference to South Park. Not here.

Heheh. Alright, well put.
I'll stop arguing, cause you're, for the most part, right. I'm just trying to look into things too much, as usual. I blame the caffeine (and my often derailed train of thought).
And lol about the South Park reference...
And, for the hell of it, I'll give a relevant answer to the original topic. Instead of getting all... I dunno. Hot headed?
No. I don't think werewolves exist outside of fiction and literature. There's whispering facts and some basis for truth, but not enough to say for sure. I WISH they existed. Sure as hell would make things more interesting. But, they don't.
... Heh. I think that should've been my first answer.
