Ditto, with knobs on.

Wabbit -- your story is of quite some time ago, but I just got to it, and the thread's not closed, so I just have to comment. You have amazed me. Your story is one of the best things I've read in a long long time. Somehow I could just see that child telling stories to voters at the town hall...

I find them funny. As Homer would say, funny 'cause it's true. Or at least with enough truth in it to make it funny. Shakespeare's genius lay in his use of language. His plots were truly soap. And what about those Greek Tragedies? When I was made to read them I thought they must be parodies...

Jones and Laws are local radio shock-jocks. Large frogs in a small pool, so I suppose not known out there in the wider world. Lambs of some other God I love a redneck country A land of Jones and Laws Inspiring mass mediocrity Chanting three bags full sir lies. I live in a stolen...

Disagree if you want to, Ou Be, but don't edit what people have written to turn it into something you'd be justified in disagreeing with. Or is it just that you don't read too well, and can't tell the difference between what I wrote and what you quoted?

When did I tell you to forget about dictionary definitions? And I still have some trouble with "Dictates power." Would you say "I'm going to go and dictate power to that guy over there"? You'd sound a bit silly if you did. You might say you were going to exert power over him -- is that what...

Scary? If you think that's scary, Nietzsche would frighten you to death. And Watercrystal. didn't you want to see the topic continued, immediately befere you wanted to stop it? Forgive me if I'm wrong -- I can't be bothered going back to check -- but that's my impression.

Ou Be, you don't need to apologise to me. I'm not angry in the slightest. you might buy a decent dictionary though. Maybe even an English useage manual wouldn't be a bad idea. And read it before you presume to instruct people. From what I've seen, you are not one given to pussy-footing...

Someone previously asked someone else why they thought he was crazy. Spending time in an insane asylum receiving treatment for insanity seems a pretty good indication to me. The gross generalisation is to suggest that all who did not lived mundanely. Bobby said what I quoted him as saying --...

You sure ain't. Freidrik can be judged crazy because he spent a lot of time in the nut house. As for "…don't want to have any violence in me, any hate, jealousy, fear or anxiety," to hell with that. You'll have ample absence of those things when you're dead. Some of us want to be whole...

I think The Book Forum should be about books. Not because of slanging matches, which are at least amusing, but just because books is what a book forum should be about. And as someone said, it's all politics anyway, even bats. Even those so-called adult Boy's Own Adventure stories from such as...

Understand? Yes, I guess, sort of. I was being sarcastic. guess I could have understood what Ou Be was saying in the first place, in a general and indistinct sort of way, if I took the trouble to translate it into something that made sense. I resent the effort it takes to make sense of it. The...

Are you right? Difficult to tell. What did you say?

Yes--"Deliverance". Only one I can think of.

The power that capitalism dictates is what he is attacking…? What on earth does that mean? Mein Kampf was pretty convoluted, and pretty juvenile, but at least in came to us in understandable English, not internetesque gobbledegook.

Back to Cheese I offered some of that sliced, processed stuff to my dog -- someone left it in my fridge, and I wasn't going to eat it myself -- and the dog refused to have anything to do with it. And that dog LOVES cheese!

Mein Kampf It's good to see most people agree that there should be no censorship. Hitler, of course, would disagree. Like George W., he would like his view to be the only one heard. In Hitler's day, when he was not too busy waging war to write, the free world had free access to his ideas...

Animals Well, of course any pig looking Winston Churchill in the eye would consider him an equal. Probably wondering if he might be its long-lost brother. I think cats and dogs are both good. Not those little cat-sized dogs, though, yap! yap! yap! They should all be eradicated.
