if you think the sun makes more sense for fire benders.
Water is opposite of fire, so they learn from the solar systems cycle.
both of them control elements that arn't toaly physical. you can feel fire but not like holding sometihng, and water is a liquid. in others words not solid, but liquid or gas,w hich happen to be opposites.
then both airbenders and earthbenders learn from animals.
I'd like to chime in on the nick argument again.
Nick did have some good shows, back when they were really nicktoons. it's a shame they got rid of them for the little kiddy shows now. some of them actually were good. Avatar is the only good one since Zim, which was, in my opinion, the best show aired on TV ever. but rocko and the angry beavers were still pretty funny.
"We're the biggest thing since sliced bread!!!!"
I had to say it ;)
But no, they sold out for, well, whatever else they show now. I don't watch it except for avatar really, other channels offer so much more than a kid with fairys or whatever else.
boy was there a few good ones in the bunch.
but for some reason I can't think of the names of any other ones that were extremely good.
The one thing that always irked me is that in the middle of the day the only thing shown is baby stuff, that well, sucks. noone ever sees it, because everyone is at work school, another channel, the internet…having a life....
I jsut can't beleive I saw an advertisement for blue's clues special a couple times on other channels, right in the middle of primetime for kids that are at the perfect age for nick, which is right before bed, they want to cram whatever at specials happen at times like 8 pm. arn't most people that would watch it in bed at 7 or going at 8? oh well, I don't care, or at least wouldn't, unless Zim was on during that time(I'll say it again. best show ever. it had everything a show could have. good original animation, consistant, interesting plot, monkeys waffles and squirrels. and don't forget the psycho labatomy dog)
