Why won't you people listen to reason? :grr:

25. Its okay...:)
I have been on a couple Harry Potter chatboards, and my god...the flame wars, on if "Dumbledore is dead, is not dead" are always in full swing it seems...:) The best way to start flame wars on those boards, is to say "Dumbledore is dead, get over it!"...man, works like a charm, every single time...:) I just got done reading the current HP books, in mid april...Order of the Phoenix is still my favorite one...HBP wasn't that bad, but Snape going evil, wasn't a surprise to me...to me, snape was..

1. Talks evil
2. Does dark things
3. Hates harry


I always figured, he would turn evil...thats just my two cents.

26. Not that I want to take this thread over
but I'm going to reply to you so I guess I am. I just finished HBP on Saturday for the second time myself :-) I'm still doing mental gymnastics that make Snape not a bad guy; like for instance, maybe the potion surrounding the locket actually brought Dumbledore to some sort of undead state, and Snape merely ended that half-living, half-dead state so that Dumbledore, like the phoenix which is his avatar, can rise again in some form.

Yeah, right.

30. My mind
did the same gymnastics when Dumbledore died...but my wife summoned it up, in one sentence for me..."Dumbledore is in the headmasters painting, in the head masters room."...that snapped me out of my, is he dead/not dead debating in my mind...he could still be alive, i doubt it, but i do believe, Snape, might again, turn good, or have some more severe input in the out come in book 7....

31. I know, I know
The same thing occurred to me, but he's sleeping in the portrait, so that's my backdoor to him maybe coming back. As for Snape, I hope he stays ambiguous - he's always going to be screwed up when relating to Harry because of his feelings toward James and Lily. Maybe he'll help Harry in spite of himself...

32. yeah, true
about the sleeping part, but he is in the picture...but, its a book, anything can happen, he could come back, and i think it would be good if he did come back, it would be a WTF just happened moment...:) Have you figured out the R.A.B. yet...i think its Regulas A. Black, Sirius's brother...

33. I think so too
And I think Harry'll figure it out in some sort of reveal scene in Grimmauld Place.

Oh boy, I haven't had this geeky a chat in a while!

34. me neither
not for a while, the only other person i talk to about it with, is my wife, she got me to read the whole series. The notion of horcruxes is pretty interesting...a lot of HP heads, think that HP is in fact, the 7th horcrux, and i think that notion, is laughable...

47. LOL
And by extrapolation, "Down Under Nation Hater?"

Although there is an ostrich that lives down the street. But then they are from Africa, not Australia, correct? But Emus?

Personally, I think kiwis could fly if they decided to. They are just ignorant and lazy.

23. Here is a statement that could never be construed as controversial:
It's clear to all right thinking people that those who prefer macs over pc's are even dumber than those who prefer cats over dogs.

There, now find something controversial in THAT. I dare ya...

36. Apparently you never read "1984."
The possibility that 2 + 2 = 5 is fully explored therein and it is shown that under some circumstances 2 + 2 = 5.

38. But has the Party said that 2 + 2 = 5?
I don't think the present Big Brother can count as high as 5, so we're safe -- for now.

Gotta run. Can't be late for the Two Minutes Hate, now, can we?

41. In additions to double bonds,
The tertiary position is always preferred over the secondary position, which is preferred over the primary position, which is always preferred over the methylene group.

Sorry! I had to memorize it 30 years ago, and it is branded into my brain.

42. People who shoot other people's pets are human scum.
We found a black lab in our woods yesterday, shot to death by one of our neighbors apparently.

Belonged to a family fairly new to the neighborhood; broke my heart to call them and tell them we had found their dog full of .22 ammo.

If there's a dog running in your yard, TALK TO THE HUMANS! The dog is just doing what dogs DO...

damn. cruel stupid people really PISS ME OFF.
