Why I hate the LOTR movies - (like you care?)

You have spoken up for something that you feel strongly about...allow Smodden to do the same.

but you are making ill comments about people that don't read...when in fact you find it hard enough to concetrate the 1st time !

Smod seemed to accusing me of something I hadn't done on behalf of someone who didnt seem to care, (over my use of the word perverted I think, tho i'm not sure?) so no - not likely to keep quiet about that: but not inspired to get into a debate about it either.

Where did you get the idea that I can't concentrate on a book? I must have expressed myself poorly* I thought I said i seldom re-read books because I read slowly and carefully and try to avoid skimming; I also can only revisit a book after some considerable time.

*Or, as seems to be the case here - because it's the Internet - people read posts at speed and dont go to any length to try to understand what they are reading. Case in point... ?

*wonders how it made it to page 4*

By dint of making a reasonable argument and expressing it in a slightly brisk manner - so that people are inspired to respond and forced to at least think for a moment and write clearly.

Not what you are used to I expect, but dont worry - it will be a dim memory in a day or two.

Okay...so lemme get this straight...

I seldom read books more than once, partly because I'm able to concentrate enough the first time round.

Was supposed to mean this ????

I have to say...I would have really had to read between the lines to get all of that out of what you previously said !

As for this :

I read what people have to say and value their opinions. I just hope that you do as well.

As to my"shameless name-calling and vulgar comments" because I said putting soda in whiskey is perverted. Where to begin...

Perverted: Deviating from what is considered right and correct

A) Any true Scot would tell you adding anything to whiskey is perverted. B) I was being light-hearted C) you overstate your case so much it makes me suspect that D) You only bring this up because shes a girl whom you hope to impress with your ill-timed defense.

Leaving aside all notions of how sexist that is , you ought to choose a better target.

I'm not trying to target anybody...and I'm sory for misunderstanding you...where I come from when you call somone a pervert...it means somthing else.
As for brining this up just to impress Solina...If I wanted to impress her I would do nothing of this sort at all...I simply saw somone calling her a pervert and (not liking anybody calling her things like that) I jumped at you.
as for her not caring about it...She didn't post because she CANT...and if you knew her you would know that she dosn't have access to a pc now....and if you knew me, you would know that I don't like ppl calling her names...especialy ppl who no nothing about her...or me.
but seeing as you meant somthing entirly diferent....I appologize for jumping at you like that...I just got a little upset when I saw what you said about Solina....

I contradict myself?....ok cool🙂
Could you explain? is it my reasoning or what?
good topic🙂

Guess Mr. Zero has nothing else to say

yeah...

Mr. Zero has said so much...
where is he?...

When I was a kid I lived in a small village in Scotland. Our house was on the outskirts of town and at the end of my street opened out into fields of wheat. At the very edge of the field, was a huge old dead tree - more of a stump really.The tree had been cut off about 6 feet up for some reason, so it had some spread and a few low branches intact. The Stump was our hangout, and was, depending on the day, the bridge of the enterprise, Tarzans house, a castle, the tardis - or if the girls got there first a whole other set of locations I was never interested in!

Some days I would sit in there and read. It was sitting in the stump, age twelve, that I found out about Gandalf the White. His reappearance stunned me to my... ... ... ...

This seems to be less a debate over LotR and more turning into member-bashing...
