A good read, even for aetheists like me. Some of it got a little old, but hey, they love their religion and want others to love it too. Nothing wrong with that. It's still a good adventure story.

All of Eddings's works up to and including the Althalus book (because as far as I know, it was intended to be a series) were excellent, and I re-read them frequently. Unfortunately, I can't get into his latest "Elder Gods" series. I've noticed that Eddings tends to have characters explain to...

That's what's so friggin annoying about trying to quit - the cost of the "aids" to help you quit! I realize they're made by private companies that want to make money, but JEEZ! If the gov't really wants to help people quit, they should offer discounts on the gum and/or patch. I successfully...

Someone needs to explain to this girl that climbing into a male friend's bed in nothing but his t-shirt and panties, and NOT expecting to be assaulted, is naive. Not that many men would take advantage of such a situation, but that is rather forward for a platonic relationship. And since she was...

As compared to what, people who've met in bars? People who've met in church? I've had long-term relationships with two men that I met on Match.com and they were both satisfying relationships - until they ended, that is. But any relationship that isn't met to be ends eventually. These were no...

This is true, but don't negate the sex completely. If you are in a relationship with a woman, and you don't make any moves whatsoever, and no sex ensues, she will begin to feel unwanted, undesirable, and that you don't have any interest at all; you may be wanting to go slowly or make sure it's...

I have met several intelligent and kind men online. So I disagree with the above statement, to an extent. I do not, most definitely, respond to the emails saying "Hey baby here's my number, call me!" That, for sure, is not the way to do it. Not that I'm suggesting that's what you're doing...

Sadly, those that still play don't remember what it was like in the beginning, because a lot of them just started playing within the past 2 years. Therefore they don't know the old way of depending on a group, and having them depend on you. Nowadays, people join groups then dump them half an...

I played EQ for 5 years and worked for Sony as a "guide," or online customer service, for 3 years. It is most definitely addictive. Basically (unless you're a real hard-core gamer with no job who can play 24-7), it takes the average person with a 9 to 5 job about a year to level a character from...

I never thought he didn't have talent; I did, and do still, think he's a smarmy weasel. I'm torn between wanting to see "War of the Worlds" because of the history of the story and the special effects, and not seeing it because his face is gonna be in mine the whole time. Bleh. I'll second...

In her defense, that's the way the character was written. Beloved is a ghost, returned to earth in the body of a woman it claimed from the grave. She stayed pretty true to the character as written in the novel.

We're looking for arena rockers, with the big concerts, that are still touring, and originated in the 70's. Not single acts, like some of the responses have listed, and no hair bands, new age, or grunge. What you would call Americana rock and roll. It was just a challenge we set to ourselves...

I will throw out "Beloved," which I know will make most men groan and say "Oh no not Oprah!" but it's actually a very good film. It helps if you've read the book. And for those men who just can't get over Oprah being in it... Thandie Newton naked? better?

I wasn't too impressed with Equilbrium, I'd give it 3 out of 5 stars, but I do love Christian Bale in anything he does. I've found that those who have seen Wizards either love it or hate it, there's no in-between.

The eagles were neutral, if I remember correctly. The king of the eagles owed Gandalf a favor for saving his life, when the king had been shot down by an arrow. That's why the eagles saved Gandalf. They definitely didn't risk their beaks to save Frodo until there was little to no chance that...

Aye Aerosmith is the other one we were thinking of.

While enjoying lunch on Saturday, we realized that there are only a couple of 70's-era old-arena style American rock bands left, one being the Eagles and I forgot what the other one was. We racked our brains all day and couldn't think of any others; he suggested Bruce Springsteen, but he's more...

I watched a very good film over the weekend that somehow slipped through the cracks of popularity, as far as films go. I thought I'd start a thread where folks could submit names of films that are very very good, but that most others haven't seen or heard about. The film I was watching that...

Yeah my bad, was Qui-gon not Obi-wan. I find it extremely hard to see any good qualities in Anakin's character, even when he was a child, if he was that eager to run off and leave mom behind without a look back. Folks here in this thread have stated that he was afraid to leave his mother's...
