Most people in this thread are down with a severe case of Romneysia, thankfully this can be resolved with treatment (for the most part) via ObamaCare.

No, you can't ask Oblivion questions or he plays the victim card. Because we are so mean to the poor little guy because we disagree with him and point out holes in his arguments. Originally Posted by Grokan

Anyone else think that if Oblivionx reads fantasy his favorite series and the pinnacle of literature to him is the SoT series by Goodkind?

You have two choices when you start feeling gay characters get inserted into TV shows. You either think it's reflection of general public welcoming such characters, or you think there is some conspiracy.

Omg do the SoT books preach Ayn Rand theories? Wikipedia totally says he is a big proponent of hers. Originally Posted by obdigore

This place is going to be amazing when Obama loses.
It's going to be the funniest thing ever.The most successful tyranny is not the one that uses force to assure uniformity but the one that removes the awareness of other possibilities.

Judging by his posts, going down the road of reading fantasy, will simply lead us to realism. After all, I bet he thinks the best fantasy he has recently read was the recent job numbers. Originally Posted by obdigore

You have absolutely no idea. The main character will kick your daughter (a princess, mind you) in the face, breaking her jaw, while yelling "CAPITALISM!". Originally Posted by conscript

Also, evil chickens are totally a treat.
But yes, the first book is an ok book from a new author with some ok ideas. Then the entire series devolves into Goodkinds' love for Ayn Rand and his personal stances. It is generally considered some of the worst fantasy ever written by people who read a lot.
Edit -> also, Goodkind 'doesn't write fantasy'. He writes 'real life'. Oh, and when asked in an interview in the early '00s about who was the most influential writer currently writing books, his answer was 'Ayn Rand'. I just... ugh.

How much you want to bet, other than your gloating, the general reaction will be our best impersonation of Atlas... as we all shrug... Originally Posted by oblivionx
