Gunslinger Moogle had this to say about dark elf butts:
The Lottery was OK but I don't think it's one of those must-read things. It surely did not change my life the first time I read it a few years ago.
Oh it doesn't change my life, it's just a useful tool in discussing why using tradition as a sole reason to do something is a crock of shit. Came up with a discussion between me and Gee about overpopulation and the factors behind it...
Then I laughed.
But someone that isn't a complete douche brought this up in a discussion about books we were forced to read in school that didn't suck. I never had to, or went out and did, read The Lottery, but I had The Giver.
The Giver rocked. 
It's not something people hear about.

Uh, basic logic is a useful tool in discussing why "because it's always been that way" is a stupid premise from which to argue.

I think it was Snoota who brought this book up a while ago. Or, wait, no, not Snoota. I forget who.But someone that isn't a complete douche brought this up in a discussion about books we were forced to read in school that didn't suck. I never had to, or went out and did, read The Lottery, but I had The Giver.
The Giver rocked.
Is that what I'm thinking of? Or is that "The Giving Tree?"
There's a reeeally sad episode of Fruits Basket that has the little monkey kid tell a Japanese story about a foolish man who gave away everything he owned, body parts included, and got called a loser in the end.
And: Yes, logic is a viable tool. But I am a kinetic learner, and as such, it is easier for me to demonstrate a point through a situation, rather than just explaining it. Kait fucked around with this message on 04-27-2005 at 11:18 PM.

No, the giver was about some creepy old man who makes some little boy take off his shirt and lay down.

Kait obviously shouldn't have said:

Whoa, when did we have that conversation? I just remember something along the lines of:
Kait: God, why do mormons all have 11 kids?
Me: tradition and religion
Kait: But that's stupid.
Me: yep. but those are pretty powerful things for people
and that was about it.
And yes, The Giver rocked. I think i'm gonna try and track it down to read again sometime. Haven't read it since 6th grade. Dr. Gee fucked around with this message on 04-28-2005 at 11:39 AM.
