    appeal of "the Lion the Witch & the Wardrobe"

    At least LOTR is well written. Tolkien took time and brought out a whole world of background history, beautiful languages, and excellent writing. Tolkien knew what he was talking about when he criticised Lewis: you shouldn't sacrifice quality in order to rush out a book into publication. And if...

    appeal of "the Lion the Witch & the Wardrobe"

    I have found information on the appeal of Narnia. However, I still adamantly agree with Tolkien in that the books were too quickly written. Imagine my "surprise" [/light sarcasm] when I read they were written in 3 months time. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/magazine/4447090.stm

    Emigration To Canada

    Funny. I'm Canadian and I've been dreaming of moving to England since forever. I'm terribly Anglophilic. ;)

    HBC designed Olympics wear

    Did anyone see the flyers that came out w/the new Olympic gear for the winter? It's no longer Roots but the Bay who did it. I think it's rather ugly. The design of the main "CANADA" upon the shirts looks like stuff from the ugly brand called Kappa. Basically, I think it's ugly. But then...

    Canada to open doors to 255,000

    Geez, I meant it's so easy to become an immigrant in Canada. We're so lenient in the immigration system that we're practically handing out to terrorists their welfare slips as they walk past our borders. I don't have anything against immigrants. I'm only against the ineffective stupid system of...

    Canada to open doors to 255,000

    ^ Do you realise what we look like when we argue w/America over things like softwood lumber? We might as well be mute because it's not like us being angry influences the US's decisions - we have no command in calling attention to any of our issues. I'm not saying that if we inject a couple...

    high school French

    I want to learn Mandarin and the Classical languages of Latin and Ancient Greek. Reading our school board wide coursebook, I actually found some schools that offered Greek or Latin, instead of the generic Spanish. I wish my school had that. I hate my school w/a passion. :| :( Imagine that...

    Canada to open doors to 255,000

    ^ Essentially what you're saying is that it's better to be be wasting money than doing something like prepping up the military? For America, what they do is excessive. For us, we're pitiable in our lack.

    How many books are on your TBR Pile?

    I don't have all that many books. Maybe up to 10 on my bookcase. If you mean TBR in my lifetime, I have a zillion classic novels I haven't bought yet, but eagerly await reading.

    What's a Modern Girl to Do? --- article on Feminism

    Not really. People actually take such books to heart. And what of the research results discussed in the article? Please tell me you don't believe that 98% of men and women aren't as depicted by Dowd. One might not be aware of their similarity to those of their same gender, but if you think...

    What's a Modern Girl to Do? --- article on Feminism

    But you can't deny that the stereotypes are true for 97-98% of the population. If they weren't, then dating books like "He's Just Not that Into You" would definitely not be successful eh? ;) :|

    Mothers could be sued for injuring fetuses

    Very interesting. The possible implications of life starting at the point of, say, fertilisation, are staggering beyond what I had thought. Hmm. I guess this article just brings you back to the debate over when exactly a fetus is "alive." It is. Politically it is different from the rest of...

    "M" Theory proof of God??

    Definitely not a "proof." A microscopically slight opportunity for the possibility of there being a god, but definitely not a proof.
