Ah yes, I believe this space will come in very handy one day blaugh
Okay, here's how it works. I've thought of a way to settle debates without ever taking up space in other topics, because debates (good debates anyway) will take up page after page of endless chatter. Sooooo, I've made this area, should anyone start to have a debate you are to bring it here, so as to not bother anyone else's topic...and so we can all watch as spectators and throw in our own ideas.
stare Now I don't care if this area is never used, I still think it's a luxury this guild deserves to have. biggrin

It seems smart to me. Now all we need is a debatable book. AHA! I got one!

Maybe we could debate the impact that the Left Behind series has had? Just a thought.

Fantasy Moon Maybe we could debate the impact that the Left Behind series has had? Just a thought. I read some of those books. I'm an Atheist, so I wasn't a big fan of the religious parts. But s**t, I like those weird books where the world ends. They're fun. But I know nothing about the impact of the books. So I'm not being helpful, am I? surprised

Does anyone want to debate Inferno, by Dante with me? Someone religious, maybe? (because I'm agnostic and find the whole concept fasinating)

And since I love mythology, that's sort of cool. I forgot what titles in the series I read. I think it was most of them, but I forgot where I stopped. My mind is fuzzy right now. I have never read Dante's Inferno. I meant to, but I could never find it. So there.

I liked the Left Behind series (and am Catholic). But I also, as a reader, listened to a friend and read The DaVinci Code, which I thought was an excellent book that made interesting points. *bows, leaves*

What about Salman Rushdie and The Satanic Verses? For most, that book is nothing but debatable.
I'm a huge Rushdie fan and an advocate of his work. And I've run into so many people who hate him and his work just because of the title of one book!
I was working at a highschool and set upon the task of organizing books that were being ignored. I grabbed a couple boxes and was going through the weeding out the stuff that was too young or outdated to be on the shelves (and snooping around for stuff to add to my own collection, at my boss' blessing of course). I came across a copy of The Satanic Verses and got very excited to see it at the school. I exclaimed my thoughts allowed, praising the books genius and whatnot, and the very devoute christian co-worker of mine grabbed the book up from my hand, and stormed into the head masters office to yell at him for stuffing such vile things down the childrens throats. All the while I whimpered to her that the book really is not promoting satanism and it's really quite lovely if she would just read it.
After a bit she came back out, somewhat calmer, and I threw a few of my favorite quotes in her direction. She read the book after that and became a Rushdie fan, though she still has her issues with The Satanic Verses and it's title.

I had no idea they were there. sweatdrop Ah, how I enjoyed Beowulf. ^_^ I had to read it for Early British Literature and we analyzed that poem to death. It's also one of the reasons I wanted to keep my textbook. This reminds me of how I need to finish the video game Final Fantasy Tactics since Beowulf is a hidden character. xd I love the mythology and literature that is embedded in that series.
