Is Lord of the Rings better than Harry Potter?

SimeyC @SimeyC (7) • United States 20 Jul 09

sjward2009 No question---Lord of the Rings wins, hands down. The Rings was better written, was more complex, and had awesome special effects. Don't get me wrong, I do enjoy the Harry Potter movies, but they just cannot compare to an epic movie such as LOR. I could, and...

What chocolate brand captures your taste buds? How does that brand differ from other brands?

sjward2009 I would choose Godiva. It has a very smooth velvety texture that you do not get with the every day brands. I especially like dark chocolate. It is so much richer and I think actually satisfies your craving for chocolate better as you don't need to eat as much....

sjward2009 The dreaded Swine Flu! I think we need to put this in perspective. While Swine Flu (also called Novel H1N1, S-OIV, etc.), is at pandemic levels, we cannot stop living our lives. You need to evaluate the risk to your children. First of all, Swine Flu is not, to...

sjward2009 If I had to pick one, it would be Stephen King. However, I prefer his older books to the newer ones. He seems to have moved away from true horror and into other areas. My favorite book was "The Stand." It had an awesome story line, flowed well and kept your...

Do you feel younger or older than you actually are?

LovingLife139 @LovingLife139 (1504) • United States 19 Jul 09

My 21st birthday is approaching on July 24, and it has made me stop and think..."That's it?" I've always felt like I should be older than I am. Not in terms of having fun with life, and it's not like I feel bad physically. I just...
