I'd like to point out that your example is flawed, SF, because it combines class (types of clothing) and age factors along with racial/ethnic stereotypes. It is what it is. It would be nice if you could accept it as presented without over analysis. I don't believe I'm overanalyzing at all. If you w...

Serious question here that I would like to hear some input on regarding the use or no-good-use arguments about racial or ethnic stereotypes. Let us say that it is 1 AM and you are a stranger in a large city like New York or Chicago. You have just left a club or restaurant and are walking the four b...

Searching for a Christ, on an island of sugar and alcohol

I have an odd request, I posted a version of this on B77, and am posting this here too for maximum exposure and the hope of an off-chance that someone may be able to help me. ;) This summer I visited the Dominican Republic, and while there my friends and I went to the Cathedral (the oldest in the Am...

I think "fallen" is a better description than evil or tragic. The reason I hesitate from using the "tragic" description is because Fëanor's downfall (due in large part to his flaws, as well as can be argued the morally ambiguous choices of both his parents) is still, fundamentall...

The reason I've been wishing to discuss this character is because, when Fëanor's name appeared in the name of this forum, I went "ewww". He's just about the character I like least in the whole legendarium. Is it too B77 for me to just pop in here and say that I totally SW000000N for Fëano...
