Bartolin1980 Excuse me "millions of users" there are currently 59688 users. And no, topic repetition is not simply a sign that lots of people share similar interests, it is also a sign that people don't use the search function or that they are not particularly interesting...

This is something that interests me and while I expect a lot of people to disagree with me, I feel that it's worth discussing. I believe that a great deal of the problems facing the world in this day and age are caused by the...

Bartolin1980 And tabloids only participate in a semblance of a political dialogue which is really a popularity contest, just like politics in general- if politicians were more interested in the welfare of their people and of their countries than in getting elected or...

I always did, and I still do. My son is 14 months old. I don't know why I do it, because I use the same mild detergent for him as for the rest of the laundry. I am starting to think that maybe I don't need to separate his things...

Bartolin1980 Comments like this don't help and show that you are insensitive and unrealistic. If you knew what an abusive relationship is like or how difficult it is to talk about these things especially if it concerns a girl's only real close family and one who is...

Bartolin1980 Perhaps it's a good thing that Peter Jackson doesn't make The Hobbit, It would probably end up like a cross between that awful Dungeons and Dragons film and a HP movie

Bartolin1980 Hey another LOTR hater, good to have you to argue with- The reason I put LOTR in my profile is that it was the first real fantasy I read back when I was about 12, it got me into the genre and brings back so many happy memories, I don't claim that it is great...

Bartolin1980 Actually, I can have public discussions about literary works, just not on mylot- It's not such a big deal to me. If I were interested in what the average mylot user had to say about high literature then I would have started a thread on that. Mylot is about...

Has anyone here read Richard Dawkins's book 'The God Delusion'? For anyone who hasn't heard of it, Mr Dawkins is I believe a scientist and an outspoken atheist. In his book he presents the case that there is no God and that it...

Bartolin1980 Some people believe in informing themselves on both sides of the story, it's not necessarily proselytising to simply want to inform others about what one believes to be true

Bartolin1980 Thing is Tolkien himself admitted that Tom Bombadil was a character he struggled to insert into the book and the passage in question can be taken as a digression. I do agree with you though, he was also a favourite peripheral character for me. Umm the Sharky...

How many of you have entered the poetry contest? Did you all "win" I have "won" so many times. They send you a nice letter wanting you to buy the book your poem is going to be in. Is this a hoot or what?

Bartolin1980 Ican't believe you hated Death in Venice, that was a great tragic book, but yeah I have to agree with you on The Catcher in the Rye, there's one of the most overrated books I've ever had to read
