is LOTR ruining our children? (Timmy State recruitment)
I am here to consider the fact that LOTR may be having a devistating effect on the children of the world. Men in wigs and tights is surely not good viewing, and the unbelievable storylines cannot be helping things. Now consider Harry Potter, good childrens fun which can capture your child and leave them revellng in the prospect of becoming a wizard.
That was a load of nonsense, but who cares, now to the serious bit ~ come to Timmy State!! Have a ball! Cause havoc!! :twisted: :evil: :twisted:

I thought this was another "wrong forum please move to general" type thing. Ohh well, I want my five seconds back too.

There is nothing wrong with LOTR and other fantasy/fiction. It should be considered to be fiction andd not fact. There -- end of problem.

Ok Harry Potter has a worse impact. Lord of the Rings is teaching of the war between good and evil and how every small thing or person can make a battle end for eather side. It proves that people can change things no matter what they do. All Harry Potter is going is telling kids that there is a world of magic and I say it is a load of bull sh*t. It is just saying that you have to be a wizzard or wich to do anything at all. Uncompaired to LotR that says you can be a nobody (Aragorn) and do grea things (Rule Gondor.) Now give me back my 45 seconds

Aragorn wasn't a nobody, sheesh. Not everybody happens to be nearly immortal and descended from an immensely ancient line of kings.
And the LOTR movies teaches the WRONG lesson. In the book, the Shire gets scoured-- this is a lesson that war effects everybody, even if you win it. In the movie, the Shire gets away scot free and no bad effects happen-- war is possible and when it's over everything is magically happy again. Yep, no Dresden or London rebuilding in Middle Earth, no hobbits forced to take up arms and kill!
Bah. That was the biggest disappointment, and a part which I think Tolkien would be rolling around in his grave.
I don't want to join a state.

As for books "telling kids" things, it's fiction. It's obviously fiction, and if anyone can't understand that, they're a moron and should be educated on the concept immediately.
