As a 19 year old male I am offended by that, and I can't remember when I actually thought that kind of humor was funny.


Yes, but I don't care. It wouldn't make any difference to me if every...

Actually Cheney/Bush are not really Capitalists, a slightly better picture would be Alan Greenspan. Also most of the things you listed go against capitalism. Especially fascism, barrowing money,...

Exactly, Faramir's quote says what the author wanted to say (at least it does out of context) much better than the author could have said it him/herself. That is why it was used.
And another thing,...

And yet he basically told Faramir, "Olorin I was in my youth in the West that is forgotten". Of course Faramir probably wouldn't know the significance of that but it was quite a gamble that someone...

First of all I think that the problem with the swords could have been cleared up by Aragorn saying that they were heirlooms of his people and were magic.

Anyway, I was watching some of the...

In a sense yes. What I meant to say though, was that I don't love the films as films, ie as something seperate from the books. What I love is seeing book scenes put onto the screens. Basically what I...

That description sounds almost like donuts.

Well "buscuits and gravy" is primarily a southern tradition but it is eaten elsewhere. Personally I just put butter on mine.

I don't think that the Orodruin had anything to do with the secret fire, Eru would not have allowed that. It was more than just a volcano, it was the hottest place on earth. The Ring was so...

Yes the skills of Feanor have always interested me. It is natural for us to think of the Valar as "superior beings", but are they? Sure they have more brute power. And they were wiser and had more...

I think that both the feminine and the masculine were just different parts of Eru's mind, which I think is part of what Ka was getting at.
Just a note on feminine roles in mythology, the very first...
