the dude and walter

[tiem]

this is just like my opinion man..., the dude and walter are complete oposite ends on the dude spectrum, and i think this shows you that being a dude and taking her easy is better for you than like not taking her easy and being like walter, maybe this is a hidden message in the movie, yeah man far out.... 

[DigitalBuddha]

I think there is some valid thinking there, dude. Maybe it could be said that Walter is a different kind of dude in his own right.

[Judd Dude]

They're like yin and yang.... but then again this could be a lot more uh uh uh complex I mean it might not be, just a simple, uh, ya know?

[BikerDude]

In the end I think that the movie like the Dude is without Judgement.
Just how the whole durned human comedy keeps perpetuatin' it-self,
down through the generations, westward the wagons, across the sands a time
until....

Also the Dude and Walter are based on real dudes.

If modern society has the tendency to produce alienation in people, might Dudeism be the tonic?
It sort of sounds like that is the promise.
This is cure for Cancer type chit mang!!!

I get what your saying both are types of Dudeist but stuck persanality wise at one point well in Dudeism we need to abide between the two of the lay back and take it easy and the flach back to Nam time to jump in to action but that is just like one opinion man

[Rev. PikaSonic]

In several chapters in The Abide Guide, it mentions Yin and Yang and how in order to be more Dude you have to center yourself in a balance between the two. Therefore it could be said that not only is The Dude the Yin and Walter is the Yang, but the Dude is more balanced in the center while Walter is unbalanced and lying face down in the Yang much. That's just my musings on it of course.

I do not know the situation is perhaps the only man...... just need a guy to talk and do the natural comunication

The Dude has his walter moments, and Walter has his dude moments.

Hey wozza dude, welcome to the party, mang! Good to have you in our beach community and our private residence, man. Grab an oat soda, bar's over there.

[cckeiser]

Wow! Welcome new dudes to  our nice quiet beach community dudes! Good to see you all...any rug dudes!

I'll try not to be a friend with a cleft arsehole.

Somedays I feel like I have the Dude on one shoulder and Walter on the other. I guess you need a full team to play in the league.

[giovanni dude]

Well said, sir. Things would not be the way they are, were it not for the dudes, walters and the rest of us. We may use archetypes, which are in one sense trimmed down ideals that help us to focus on the issue at hand, but not real, actual living people. (ducks hurled vegetables)

I deal with my inner walter with humor. For example, I am trying to get 400 meter cross country wife beating into the next Olympics.

Well, better than pulling a gun... ITDO (in this dude's opinion).
