munex007: Naturally Benin is a Cultist state...The institutions in the soceity are just unfortunate...Benin is not a state dude. Why talk so presumptuously about something about which you have absolutely no clue? |
ebdib: look at it this way.Tolkien didn't originate fantasy writing. Stop the misinformation please. There were good pre-Tolkien fantasy writers like Lord Dunsany and William Morris. Tolkien only popularised an existing but not so popular genre, and thus earned his "father of modern high fantasy" tag. Tolkien's good (I especially liked 'Silmarillion' for its complexity), but his popularity is mostly because he was one of the first to be recognised. First doesn't always translate into best. For me, Martin is better. Read his 5 published ASOIAF books and related works like The Princess and the Queen. |
ebdib: Sigh.Nice job citing Martin. You expect him to blow his own trumpet? Bandwagoners with no opinion of their own never realise that Tolkien's works have really shallow plot lines behind all that fantastic landscape description. Well, living legends are not nearly as appreciated as their dead counterparts. When all is |
ebdib: Why? Because he wrote a song of ice and fire?Oh please... Tolkien is honoured only because we tend to honour history alot. He's is mostly remembered as a pioneer of the fantasy genre. Same way some people still call Mona Lisa the most beautiful painting ever, when people produce waaaay better works today. I've read both authors and Martin is better. Middle Earth never seemed nearly as real as Westeros. I've not even started talking complexity of plot lines. But of course we must honour our forefathers. |
Who came up with these careless estimates? A standard IQ test has 200 as it's upper limit, that's why 160 can be called genius. George R. R. Martin should be on that list though. |
sevule: I am pretty surprised at the poster's flawed argument, Did she actually say that Rice was defending himselfwho told you that you have the right to define what a real man should do? Walk away with spit on his face? Just shut the hell up! The world would be a better place if we all do to others what we want them to do to us. If you don't want to be hit, don't hit. Dignity isn't a gender thing. It's a human thing. |
kekilika: Is only dreyjacs on that list that caught my attention, as they say, beauty is in the eyes of theyeah.. It really is in your eyes It's mind-boggling what someone like xtarxhyne is doing on any list of cuties (by looks). Esther no vex o, I'm sure you are cute in other ways. Maybe your nails or something ![]() |
Idowuogbo: dygeasylmao! ID stop na ![]() |
Hmmm... 52 pages and counting. Humans like praises sha, especially vain ones. |
Rubbish! The hype currently around him is just courtesy Man Utd fans. When a person gets something new, na so e dey be. |
marieolae: Wow as fine as u are.. Dese guys are mad ooo Elantracey: lol , I tell you Oahray: Seriously? Elantracey: yes oSo Tracey thinks any guy that turns a lady down is mad? Good to know... |
moski5: yu're joking Jon is not key I'm d game of thrones he's not even playing I'm still watching himI believe 'a game of thrones' is often exaggerated as the main theme of the whole series. It's still about ice and fire. Maybe the Others vs dragons. Maybe the Others vs the Red god. Whatever Martin chooses to make it. Melisandre thinks they are opposites, as in good vs evil. But fire and ice can be as deadly as each other, unless there is a balance. There was no balance when dragons ran riot centuries before in the dance of the dragons as narrated in the Princess and the Queen, and Westeros suffered for it. There was no balance during the long night when the Others came previously, until the Azor Ahai and his flaming sword. I see this becoming much worse than either of those. I don't think the Iron Throne or whoever sits on it would be very important at the end of the day. |
Elantracey: lol , I tell youseriously? |
Sandor Clegane is alive and well at the monastery.I actually believe this. I think George Martin used the monk as an unreliable narrator to deceive his listeners. He deceived us earlier with the death of Theon at Winterfell (Bran's POV) and that of Brienne by hanging (her own POV). If the Hound died, when did he get to tell the monk all that the monk knew about him and told Brienne? I don't see Sandor turning story teller just because he's dying. I think the monk was speaking of the Hound's death in a figurative sense. The Hound's horse Stranger is a hot-head as Arya realised. Only the Hound could have brought him to the monastery. I think the Three Eyed Crow teaching Bran is BryndenThe dude can stop thinking now. This is rather obvious, thanks to the tale of Egg and Dunk. |
oluamid: I'm talking based on the books. The "yeye wife" thingy was an after-thought. I still don't feel any remorse for Rob's death. I'm only against the manner it was carried out and those who fell victim of the consequences of his action. The Stark are honourable people and Eddard Stark wouldn't have been pleased. I'v already outlined what I think from the Frey perspective so no need to repeat it.I read your posts and they do not justify the Freys. Walder Frey is simply a low-life full of resentment. Robb chose a path of honour too, just the not-so-important one. He slept with Jeyne when she nursed his wound, and he didn't want to sire a bastard. If Robb Stark deserved to die simply for not marrying the Frey girl, Catelyn deserved it even more. She started the war by abducting Tyrion. She was the one who promised Walder Frey that her son would marry from his house. She was the one who divided Robb's army by releasing Jamie, placing her own interests above that of the whole north. She also killed a Frey at the wedding (a fool but a Frey all the same). NB: The Lyanna/Brandon theory is a loooooooong shot. |
SIRcumalot: Not Me if I read where do whores go again I go lose my mindlol. Thought it was just me. Asha Greyjoy's 'Nuncle' irritates me too. |
oluamid: I'm here.depends... Are we talking about the books or the show? I think the show messed up the characters to a large extent. Whatever the case, no one deserves to be slaughtered by his host after eating under his roof. Even Tywin would not have done that himself. For me, Robb's death was even less deserved in the books than in the show. He was silly in the show. Silly romantic walks in the woods, dating and damning everyone. A deliberate well-thought-out slight. To add insult to injury, he took his wife to the wedding. To me, that's provocation. I still hate the Freys everywhere though, even if a bit less in the HBO remix. |
Obiagelli: This is bad, bad, bad, in fact the worst case scenario. Pdp states are always clueless, i hope they have decent facilities there. God help us.must you PDP and APC e-rats politicise everything? Narrow mind, you must think life is all about those two political parties that are as bad as each other. |
Why do people like making up tales like this? ![]() |
Hmmm... The kind of relationships people have these days. You want to block? Why call that pretense a relationship? |
pickabeau1: hmm... maybe a new thread should be opened so that the pros and cons of beating can be well discussedseconded... |
kobonaire: Well beauty is subjective. Many of us find her very attractive. I think, the one thing we can all agree upon is that she is a talented football player.true... |
Why are you guys falling over yourselves for this girl? She isn't as good looking as the hype suggests ![]() |
lequatee: hahahahahaha. there are two names i cant mistake for another's.... Oahray and moon man. Oahray: poerty room1 best male poet for 2011. hello bro, long time..ha! Da boss Lee. Your boy is loyal. E don tey o. How far? |
Most people on this thread are a terrible lot. I wonder the kind of christanity you guys practice. The woman's apology is a good one. It's not her fault that any of it happened. She lost someone too, still she apologised. Fruit bats spread ebola more than any human yet no relative of the fruit bats have ever apologised. How many of you even apologise for something you cause? She's better than most of you! ![]() |
^^ lol. I missed this thread ![]() |
Chinwem: Why is the Africa always at the mercy of the westbecause our doctors are always on strike. Na useless things like title we sabi fight for. Doctors fighting pharmacists... Which time dem go get take do anything? |
