Well, it can't hurt.[/quote] And in answer to the query: "Nope. They were too busy running from the bands of armed men unaffiliated with any "armies" who pillaged and raped just about everything in their wake. Peace rallies only work in a democracy.

Morrigan Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 [quote name='Exa Inova' post='1469948' date='Aug 6 2008, 03.59']The way he puts it you dont even should have to call a resque brigade or something, let alone jump in the water if you dont like to get your clothes wet.[/quote] I didn't see that from his quotes at all. He was a little dismissive at best, but really, there are far better citations to use against him than something so trivial. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was a little dismissive at best, but really, there are far better citations to use against him than something so trivial.[/quote] Agreed, like raping Swedish grandmothers. The quotes from the books are best, the interviews support our loathing. Point is we cant discuss things directly with him (unless we pm Mad Moose or via our psychic lemmings) so we can only discuss the results of his words in a real world. You yourself pointed out the way he himself uses extreme examples to get his point across. The jump in the water example is just as extreme. Im not a legal anthropologist but I doubt that there are countries who's legislation demands you put your own life at risk to save another. But there is plenty of legislation where the possibility of prosecution exists if you can safely assist (in any way, like calling for help or alerting others) and purposely dont. In the same way you can conclude that Fairly Badwrite doesnt like highways, the army or libraries because there is no such thing as the common good.

The Pita Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 TG mentioned that swedish grandmothers were being dateraped at airports. we have amusingly misinterpreted it. yay lemmings! I have a cold! The Dark Knight is awesome, and the one character with a Yeard in it is chopped up by the Joker! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muttering Bill Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 [quote name='Morrigan' post='1469421' date='Aug 5 2008, 16.09']To be fair I have not found anything about not jumping to avoid being wet... I only skimmed through the whole thing but he seems to say that you should not be forced to jump in a lake if you don't want to risk your life, and there's nothing outrageous about that.[/quote] That's called exageration. It happens a lot in this thread... but it makes things more fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shevchyk Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 The press machine builds up for Legend of the Seeker: [url="http://www.scifi.com/scifiwire/index.php?category=0&id=58372"]http://www.scifi.com/scifiwire/index.php?c...=0&id=58372[/url] Take this morsel and call it your daily bread: "I think what readers read the story for is because they want to watch and follow characters that they love and hate," Goodkind said in an interview at Comic-Con International in San Diego last month. "They want to be with those characters and follow that story and know what's going to happen. Exactly what those characters do isn't as important."

Dick could star in an episode of Barney and by the end he'll have turned the dinosaur the color of dark wine and the consistency of ground beef. And maybe broke the mouths of some of the kids and visiting firemen/police/pediatricians. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OverHill Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 Worried about the TV show. Will they remove everything that makes us (and the fans) love the Yeard that isn't a Yeard, but Important Human Themes. My biggest fear is that the Chicken will turn out to just be a ... chicken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moosicus Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 It will be five years before we have to worry about the chicken. The most immediate concerns are whether or not there will be a fire speech, will Violet get booted in the chops, will Demmin Nass castrate himself then eat his own nuts, will Dick's torture take up as much screen time as it does page count, etc (did I miss anything?). Let's see if this crap-fest will survive the first season before we stress over season five. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't Terry dedicate one book to the US intelligence services? (I assumed those are not entirely funded by illegal drug and arms dealing nowdays. :smoking: ) In fact, you can't assume anything about what Terry will declare being the truth at any given moment as he seems to be going with whatever gut feeling he has and rationalize it afterwards. And the great thing about being him is that he doesn't have to worry about contradictions. Because as we all know they don't exist! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Pita Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 Worrying about contradictions is putting the Truth to their existence. Since they do not exist, we must not worry about them, or we cause one. That doesn't exist. And, overhill, while we all worry about the chicken, what we mean is simply postponing the worry to a latter date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gigei Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 Meh, just put in lovely ladies with big boobs in leather and hot guys with big muscles in leather pants - it's a sure win for TV viewers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
