Bombur, bombur, must you make these debates so personal? I have no idea what the Camelian is, will you enlighten me?

Furthermore, I am not here to glorify prostitution, or make it seem "innocent", or whatever. Having been raised in Russia, I do see it as a viable choice for women who would otherwise starve. As for those girls who get maliciously trapped into this lifestyle, well, they are not prostitutes in my book, they are slaves. There is a difference, and we shouldn't confuse the two.

As for the issue of the morals/ethics of society, I don't know man. Was society more moral at the time when women didn't have the vote? When black people were being lynched? When children slaved away in factories? I mean, I just don't see us being any more or less moral than we were a hundred years ago. Calling Tolkien "sexist" isn't a result of poor morals either, I think it's mostly the result of being uninformed.

As for Aragorn being a "man" and Arwen being "pretty", well...uh, the last time I checked, heterosexual men usually tend to be sexually attracted to pretty women. This is not a generalization, or an insult, this is a fact of nature. If it makes you happy, I will gladly state that heterosexual women tend to be attracted to handsome men. I mean, if I had a dollar for every time I gazed lecherously at a man, I'd be on a vacation in Ibiza right now...I really don't understand what's wrong with that.

Now of course, the only question left is, will I sell myself to Schröder? Only if he overthrows a Dark Lord, and sets me up with some nice digs at Minas Tirith! [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]
