LOL, no. That was the work of another holiday special masochist from these forums, SKot Kirkwood.

I disagree. Between 28 and 32 is the best age.

“Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country.” — Nazi Reich Marshal Hermann Goering

By that you are implying that your life can no longer be enjoyed once you have a kid. While from your mother's point of view that may well be true, I'm sure some members here will tell you otherwise.

I'm implying that you should be single as long as possible from my point of view so that you can enjoy your OWN life, without having to put up with a marriage which these days, the odds are against you, and it probably won't last and you have to put up with a typically ungrateful son or daughter for at least 18 years. It's a living hell in my opinion. Have you ever read how Brave New World describes a typical family? Well, it basically reduces each member of a family to merely the propblems and pain they cause each other.

Yeah, you're probably right, and personally I can't see myself as a dad for a few years yet (although I am a husband).

BTW, I just read my last post and realise it came across pretty harsh. Sorry Adam, I'm just messing man. I meant it in a playful way, not a hurtfully insulting way.

OK, cool. I do reallize that for some people the marriage and kids part of life may be enjoyable. But, being reallistic, it's really quite a turbulent, hectic time that few are ever ready to fully deal with. And, kmany times, it is kids who disrupt marriages in the first place. In oprder to enjoy kids, you would have to be VERY prepared and VERY comfortable in a marriage, I believe.

It also describes how children from middle and upper classes are programmed to think that poor people are smelly and sub-human. It's a good book, but hardly something to be used as an exemplar for social and family dynamics.

I must differ on that one. The entire book is a commentary on nearly every social system and points out the faults in them. The conditioning aspect stays true in our world today.

I know it's a social commentary, and a damn good one, but my point is that you shouldn't use examples from a dark satire as evidence to support the points made in said satirical commentary piece. Would you take an argument seriously if someone said "Cops and rednecks are stupid, reporters are self-serving assholes and the only people in America worth a damn are the Navajos. If you don't believe me, just watch Natural Born Killers."?

My sister doesn't like Star Wars that much, but her favorite is Episode III, only because it's the only one she can understand, and that she has a crush on Anakin.

Speaking of which, I went to a girl classmate's birthday party, and had everyone watch "The story of Luke Skywalker" on the bonus "Story of Star Wars" DVD. What's sad was, half the kids watching were talking like they'd never seen it before. Like when Luke cuts off Vader's arm in ROTJ, one says "Why's he complaining!?" And what's even sadder is, I asked another girl there if she liked the synopsis better than the actual trilogy. This is what she said: "Oh Yea! Short and to the point!" o_O

Not a very good reason to like star wars, if you ask me.

My sister and her friend both have a crush on Anakin.
In fact, when I showed them his death scene in ROTJ, this is what they said:
"THAT'S ANAKIN!? EWWWWW GROSS!!!!!!"

I might be the only kid in my hometown who cares about the OOT.
