It went something like "ShadowSlayer ate a sandwich in the kitchen and then went north". It was bad writing altogether, but at that part I just went giggling at the idea of somebody navigating with cardinal directions through his own house.

If you want to have an honest opinion, whether good or bad, go ahead and at least read the first in the series.
If you don't care at all, donate it to a library or to a Goodwill. Theres better places for a book to be then sitting unwanted on a shelf.

Yea I feel I should. It's probably not any worse or any better than the majority of teen fic on the shelves in the bookstores/libraries, but my dislike of it comes from its overwhelming popularity, which I find inexplicable and makes me gag.

I would like to say this. I opened this thread, saw that line with a roomie. Afterwards, we watch a random movie he had downloaded and it had that EXACT line in the movie.

How would you know, since you don't live in real life. My guess is the movie, like all movies, is what the average viewer *wants* to be an example of real life. When really it's just the fantasies of an individual.

I know people who share the same prejudices as their parents, and it's clear that the parents have passed on these prejudices.
It's not like racism is something that just spontaneously appears.

>> No.523046

>>523043

You mean someone can't have spontaneous experiences with individuals of groups that represent a race, experiences that make them dislike them dislike that group? Rape for example, ridicule, bullying? Come on.

yeah, sure, that too.
but it's not the only way

>> No.523065

>>523046
Well people who've been raised properly don't take the actions of individuals as a representation of the whole.

Now, I suppose someone could have just inherited ignorance rather than outright racism (or just been a stupid fucking kid in spite of their parents' best efforts), but broadly, stupidity and irrationality breed more stupidity and irrationality.
