i don’t even mean no disrespect … but if you are saying religion or politics shouldn’t be discussed on kfo you have definatley missed a couple thousand posts on just that. i’ve missed them too for the most part, but thats because i just skip the threads. occasionally ill get in early on one of these and say something off the wall, but i have no desire to argue such things online. that said i have come to accept that doesn’t have a **** thing to do with anyone else. they obviously like it, or they like the abuse, and it certainly isn’t going to stop any time soon. only thing you can do is accept it and stay out of the threads you want no part of.
Over marketed? I don’t agree. I think this is what people today need. anything that lights that spark and kindles the fire of imagination in both young and old alike, is a blessing in my book. People forget how to play, how to run, jump, and dream.
oh wait, that’s why there is TCMA.
shaddap, I am so fukin kidding.(about the tcma part)

True dat, anything that gets kids to read is a good deal. Those books have been a real treat for a lot of parents who were having a hard time finding their kids something to enjoy in a book and now their are whole fleets of kids buying up other books because of just this one series.
[QUOTE=bonetone;619181]I oppose Harry Potter, not for its stupid fantasy schmultz, but for the fact that its marketed so heavily and every kid and every adult too has to have it so they can be cool and in the know. Screw Harry Potter. 25 bucks or so a book, what a gyp. All those bratty little f**kers making their parents buy them that unenlightening garbage. That money could be used for their college education, or to feed a poor family for a month in a 3rd world nation, or to educate illiterates in some useful knowledge. Harry Potter has become a huge corporation that’s making some serious dough for their bloody, filthy, greedy pockets. death to Harry Potter and mass marketed krapp. If Chokotu Kyan were alive he’d totally destory Harry Potter, and the pope, that is a fact folks![/QUOTE]
The fact that someone can get the “dumb” kids to read a book–that’s good writing. Personally, I think it’s crap. But hey, I had my dragonlance phase when I was twelve. I just thank the fates I stumbled from there into Dumas and the great 19th Century French and Russian writers, to the Victorians, to the Renaissance, medieval, and finally the Restoration and Enlightenment.
Why eviscerate Harry Potter? It’s not culturally exclusive, religious, or political–it’s about imagination. Seems like a step up from the usual culture brainwashing material aimed at pre-teens (and it’s funny the Pope, whose religion has advocated more magic-stories than a season of MindFreak, would start the crack-down on Quidditch. At least Harry Potter isn’t cramming theology down their throats).
But yeah…the thirty-year-old Wiccan chick who dresses like it’s Halloween every day…yeah, she might want to put that stuff down.
In fact, many act like retarded renfare participants and haven’t got a fecking clue…but, this is about roman catholics right? lol[/QUOTE]
Roman Catholics…Wiccans…it’s like the difference between Backyard Wrestling and the WWF. Really, is either one really that much more respectable in the big picture?
Disclaimermy girlfriend is Catholic, and if she’s reading this, I’m not talking about her Pope.

my friend is a wiccan. she’s a hot bisexual (i call her a partially recovered lesbian).
she also got a full ride to john hopkins university and is currently working on her dissertation for some type of brain research at the university of maryland. very academically inclined that one.
If a chick, no matter how hot she is, invites you over to her place, and she pulls out her “crystals” to converse with the spiritual dragon goddess of the invisible moon, she loses a minimum 5 hotness points in penalty.
If she was an 8 or so (10 being reserved only for about 10 women on the face of the earth), she suddenly becomes a 3. So, finger at your own peril.
This lady (no more than a 5) ask me over to her place. When I’m over there she ask me to join in her in a pray ritual so she grabs some pray beads and starts chanting…:eek: She soared down to about a .75 in a bit hurry…I was looking for the door.
I would have welcomed the tarot cards or the crystals!
Okay, so let’s say you have a Level 3 Bagger who uses her HOODOO to invoke the Superior Mother of Supreme Hotness and manages to actually pull it off and put on the guise of a Level 10 hottie…she only gets 4 points credit, because it’s temporary and it’s magic. She’s not really hot. She’s just really hot for now.
