Actually the discussion I'm in isn't too bad, although it's kind of interesting how there are actually two related discussions going on. I know I tried to get into the discussion on whether Jews, Christians and Muslims all worship the same God or not, but it ended up turning into a discussion...

I would say it depends on the audience and what they're basing their experiences on. I'm sure there are differences in opinion of those only familiar with the books, those only familiar with the movies and those who are not familiar with any of the previous resources. For example this: I have...

So I'm writing an Adventure Path that involves jumping around from Plane to Plane for various reasons. I don't know if it'll ever get published. Would be cool, but if nothing else I am enjoying writing it, but these questions ARE being asked for the intention of publishing it and to see what...

Agreed. The Elf needs to be more Androgynous. Like a certain purple-haired elf from a popular comic we all know and love. :)

I get that a little bit and maybe 60 days is a little too short, but I think over an entire year is absolutely ridiculous. It means if a President were running for re-election, they would be spending 1/4th of their Presidency trying to get back in office for a second term. And I REALLY don't...

Yeah, some of them I've really had to make sure I stay out of because in some cases I know my opinion of certain things would not be liked. I guess in this case I was trying to put forward an opposing case just so the entire thread wasn't everyone going "Yeah, I agree". You know, trying to...

Well, the thing is for me, I've never read any of the books. So to me her being white was brought up pretty much in movie 1 within about .2 seconds of seeing her. And maybe the race isn't central to her character, but the fact that her character through I forget how many movies was the same...

Ah, I thought the first part might have been, but then the last line made me unsure. So good to know. :)

Hmm, I think this is why I usually try to stay out of discussions online. I think someone indirectly called me a racist in another thread. First time I've ever been called that! Think maybe I'll stay out of these discussions from now on.

Which is the most ridiculous part of this process. I'm freaking tired about hearing all this presidential election crap already and we still have MONTHS of it to go. We seriously need a shorter time frame. Like 30 day period to announce candidacy, 60 day period to convince people to vote for...

To me, it would just hard to see the adult Hermione as black when I watched several movies in which she was white child. I don't know, maybe it isn't the most logical of opinions but if someone were to make a movie of me as a child and then as an adult it wouldn't feel right if one of them was...

It's a suspicious day? Sir, I do not think that word means what you think it means. :) Unless the day really IS up to something no good but we don't know what it is... ;)

Dang, this movie better be awesome then! I'm hoping to see the movie in the next couple of days, whenever a friend gets back to me when he's free. I'll be adding in my $10. :)

Well, I AM assuming she was cast because she was the best actress for the role. I would like to think the director didn't see her and think "It would be great to start a controversy so I'm going to choose a black Hermione in order to draw attention to my work even if she is a terrible actress...

I don't think we're ever at a safe point where it's safe to ridicule people for whatever reason, for either ridiculing the actors because of their skin color or ridiculing those who ridicule the actors. And societal changes are fine, I have no problem with that. I know I sometimes watch TV...

Personally, I don't like the change, though it has nothing to do with changing the race from white to black. I have never read the books, though I did end up watching some of the movies. If the movies had originally portrayed Hermione as a black girl, then I would be fine with a black actress...

Ugh, I started lifting weights yesterday. Just finished day two. I hurt so much. :(

That reminds of a friend from yesterday's game day. He made a sound and we all sort of looked at him. He looked back expectantly. I asked him what that sound was. He was like "It was a wookie!" I didn't have the heart to tell him that was probably the WORST wookie imitation I had EVER heard.

A friend and I were going to see it last Friday, but I ended up not feeling well, so I didn't get to go. I've been trying to find out of he still went to see it, but I haven't heard anything back from him. Hope he's not mad at me!

'Sorry, we could not calculate directions from "My Address" to "R'lyeh, Beneath The See, Antarctica"' Awwww. It is cool that R'lyeh is on Google Maps, but what's the point if it can't give me directions to there?
