why do people dislike lord of the rings?

Just a little off topic post here...

i also think the english language is going down the drain.

Hmm... You're probably right, but I come to think about Danish (not to mention German, Icelandic etc. etc.) which is considered doing the same, because the teens "use to many English words" (alas, they think of f*ck, sh*t and equal stuff...

About being 'geeky', there are probably a lot of people who think I am so, but it's been years since I cared (we started getting grades at school, and I realized that teachers like students who can read) and nobody ever mentions my books. Sometimes I get a glare, but that's when I can't resist telling people all the books they should read. I don't think you in general can say that non-readers and "cool" kids are stupid, or non-intelligent, or even brainless, they definately have a brain, sometimes they just wont bother using it. To bring in the disliking-topic just a bit, maybe they are afraid to be treated as they treat "us"... [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]
