Numenor and America

[drigel]

reading this thread makes me realize how one shouldnt analyze JRRT. omg where to begin? Thanks to squatter, symstreme and lindil for inserting some valuable wisdom here that i hope will sink in.... Im not as literate as those guys so this reply isnt as gentle - my apologies. It would be interesting to find out the various political leanings of all the downers, but i would guess its safe to say that we as a group are a little left of center. So my opinion might grate on you guys like a burr in a hobbits lederhosen - sorry again!

its a free world and i appreciate the diverse opinions here but omg the start thread is as wrong as a certain german using Wagner to describe how wonderfull his race was. Its all wrong. period. Atlantis is one of the oldest myths of western civilization.

This seems to hit dead on with the growing materialistic society bred by marketing and corporate America.

whew - well comrade, you might turn off the tv and take a history lesson. We have been a capatalist society since inception

As time went on, the Numenoreans desired to rule more men, which could represent the Imperialistic policy of the United States.

yikes - can you say self loathing? Its lonely at the top son In a lot of ways, America is an extension of western europe. I would say, so far, we have a pretty decent track record when comparing the 2 continents in this regard. It wasnt too long ago when Britain OWNED 1\4 of the WORLD. Last time I checked, it hasnt sunk - you guys let me know if it starts though - there may be some slow moving ents we need to help out!
