  1. And why would I like to talk about the finer points of shakespears works when I can just sit back and talk about how very fucked up the world and society is with other people like me? Too bad it is so hard to find people like me in the real world. Or maybe its good. I don't know, I'll let you be the judge of that ^_^

     

    I wonder what you call people like me anyway.

  2. I'm not expecting them to learn it I'm just saying its stupid not to learn the language of the country you live in. If you don't nobody will understand you when you say "Yes, I'd like fries with that" yes vertex? You won't be able to read the bus timetables either. So if you don't learn the language you are going to have a fuckload of trouble fitting into society.

     

    And about immigrants not being able to get jobs, yes that is a problem and I talked a little about it in my post. But it still doesn't get better if you don't know the language.

  3. A WoT film could be amazing if done by the right people. It will be very hard to make it good though. it would need someone who really loves the books and who can make justice to it on the screen. The movie has to be grim and violent like the books and have the overfloowing joy of the happy scenes.

    We will need like Quentin tarantino mixed with Peter jackson and some other people all melded into one person, oh and he has to be high so he can see the beauty of WoT like we do.

  4. The chapters with him I have to say are the ones I enjoy the most in the books. I think the whole saviour and destroyer thing is very interesting although Rj overdoes it sometimes and I don't really think it will end with rands death anymore (Rj better surprise me). Back to what I wanted to say. The situation with him and his little harem pisses me off no end. First, theres not nearly enough aveindha now. Second, I can't see why he hasn't married them yet but keeps popping about as it pleases him loosing hands and shit and occasionally goes by Elayne or something. He wouldn't put them in any more danger than he already is and I think it would be amusing to read.

    Third, I don't know why I am writing this because I actually don't feel very strongly about any of it. Except there would be more Rand and avi elayne and min....

     

    So basically what I am trying to say is. Someone write a bloody fanfic about it already! I'm bored and I have run out of books to read ^_^

     

    Probably posted this in the wrong forum too. Couldn't decide between "inspiration" "chatterbox" (or whatever its called, I'm having a momentarily memory loss) or this one "the books"

  5. Its common sense to learn the language of the country you live in. How the hell are you supposed to live a good life and get a job etc. etc. If you can't bloody communicate with anybody? Its very short sighted and just plain stupid. I think prejudice plays a big role here. When you just expect and think people are some way and you act accordingly they will probably be transformed into being just what you think they are because theres just no reason to give a fuck anymore.

  6. Religion I think helped ancient goverments to keep control over their people. I mean, what would you think is worst? A quick execution or a fuckload of years in jail, or what the church could threaten with? Which was eternal damnation and suffering in a lake of burning sulphur. So I defineatly believe the church helped keep control in pretty much generally violent times.

    And when you look at modern society goverment doesn't really stop these lost souls from commiting crime. While the rest does not rob and murder simply because in their backbones it is engraved that it just isn't right to do those kind of things.

     

    Atleast thats what I hope goes through peoples minds...I may have missjudged how fucked humanity really is ;)

  7. I have some more small confessions.

    I have noticed I have grown a soft-spot for Elaida...It itches..

    I hate Gawyn Trakand. And I think it is mostly because he has blonde and curly hair which I just can't picture in my head.

    I think RJ should be locked up in a room not to be let out until he has finished A Memory Of Light.

  8. I've met god. He was rude. I was sitting quietly in my sofa when abruptly the pillow I have my foot on turns into a being made entirely of blinding light. The creature then walks up to me and slaps me on the face, then he tell me the meaning of life. But after the long speech about the meaning of life he conjures up one of those flash things from men in black and then after making me forget everything that has happened he jumps in a car with Will Smith and drives away through the interdimensional gateway that has appeared in my coffee mug.

     

    Its true....Honest to god..

  9. I like this Dawkins person, hes smart.

    Even if god is only a myth he/she/it is the biggest and most important myth of all. All myths are important since they represent a very important part of us humans. Hope. God for example represents the hope that we are part of something, we have a meaning, whatevever twisted fucking shit happens in our life it all has a meaning and a purpose. And even if we totaly screw up and ruin everything we will still have a chance to make it all right because it was all part of gods plan and he forgives you. And the great thing about myths is that when enough people believe in it it doesn't matter if it really is true because we think so and act accordingly. With religion for example, since we believe that god, allah, whatever, is real we follow the rules and regulations that we believe they set up. And we become better people.

    And most importantly it gives us hope and help to get through life.

     

    But the problem with religion is that it is not only a belief anymore. It is a religion and therefore something people can exploit. A religion doesn't excist in the back of peoples minds and hearts. A religion is something ruled, created, and changed by a group of powerfull humans. And when something turns into such a dictatorship it is going to get corrupted until it is no longer the thought of the masses but stern laws to burden the people.

     

    I do believe in god and afterlife because..well. Because it is a beautifull thing to believe in and it gives me hope. But I do not believe in a religion created by a group of people 2000 years ago. They had an entirely different view if this belief than I do, and that doesn't mean that I am wrong and they are right. Every person should create their own belief and not be a part of the masses just because "everybody" else is. The sad thing though is that these things will always be a part of us, we will not create a belief that is entirely our own with free though because the thoughts of these 2000 years dead men are burnt into our backbones and all our actions however small is affected by this. Sorry for possible typos.

  10. Again I have to say that it was late and I was talking out of my ass. I never said (or didn't mean to) that you are a sad and lonely person because you write poetry or that you don't feel the joys of life. What I wanted to say and miserably failed to do is that when happyness and the things good in life to me just..well. they just are. While sorrow and pain is something you can delve deep into and describe and evaluate, and that makes it easier to write about. Anyway now I'm going to go edit that post.

  11. Well you could say moiraines parents saved the world by teaching her daes dae mar. Or you could say they made saving the world much more complicated by doing so. Is daes dae mar the right word? I always confuse far dareis mar and the game of houses.

  12. I really need to stop posting so late at night, just talking out of my ass. I stand by what I said about poetry being a very pompous art but of course there is different kinds of poetry. And I think it is easier for us to write about sadness because everybody is very accustomed with sadness, we know sadness and depression, and therefore its easier to write about. When not everybody experiences love for example, everybody experiences sorrow. Love can also lead to sorrow.

  13. The good things in life is mostly the little things, and the exceptions are in truth small and simple things but they are made into big things because of their abbility to make people happy and also fuck them up oh so terribly. :b

    Anyway back to my point. Since the good and "happy" things in life are such simple things and poetry is such a high and utterly pompous artform it is hard to write poems about these "happy" things.

     

    When sadness on the other hand is made very deep by us humans amazing abbility to feel bad about ourselves and then moan about it. Since we are so accustomed to our pain it is much easier to embroiden it out into massive works of art. But basically if you go past all the art and look at the core meaning of a poem you will always find it to be something like this. "I'm so sad and lonely, someone hold me". Anyway to skip past a lot of explaining.

    The answer of life the universe and everything is: Find someone, get laid. Repeat.

     

    And life is glorious :P

    Except for those who can't find this someone. Guess you just have to wait this shit out and them hope these is some sort of god. Hey, we can always write poetry in the meantime ;)
