Trouble arrives when the opponents to such a system institute its extreme opposite, where individualism becomes godlike and sacrosanct, and no greater service to any other ideal (including community) is possible. In such a system rapacious greed thrives behind the guise of freedom, and the worst aspects of human nature come to the fore....

Edit: Mappo's I love your signature. I'm shocked by the lack of care American's show concerning the Dingo ate me baby line. I mean, half of em don't realize it was true, and even when I inform them of it, they still laugh their asses of. I mean damn, they're laughing at the fact that a wild dog ate some ladies baby lol.


Pedantic Bear says if you're going to nitpick someone else's grammar, you need to realize that "Americans" should not have an apostrophe. Oh, and "off" is spelled off, not of. "Ladies" in this sense (singular possessive) is spelled lady's. Or, if multiple ladies had their baby eaten (plural possessive) it would be ladies'. Just saying.

:p, didn't start the grammar battle, just saw an opening and piled on.

I know, it's a little sad that people don't show the proper respect. I had the same thing when I was in Melbourne one time. Some drunken Brits asked me about that thing, and wouldn't stop laughing about it. It's not even that funny a story, even if it wasn't true. A wild dog literally ate a baby, while it was still alive. Hilarious...

And we don't even say shrimp, they're prawns :p

On Topic, Eddings is terrible, but Goodkind is infinitely worse :p

I can't understand why people would be rude to Australians. I mean, you guys all carry those giant knives, which is intimidating.

Goodkind's early stuff is decent for a youngster just getting into fantasy. Goodkind has no redeeming qualities.

Yeah seriously. I mean, I can understand people laughing at the incredulity of it, especially when they don't know it isn't a joke, but when they're informed it just pisses me off. Kind of disrespectful and shit.

OH GOD DUDE I KNOW. These fuckers over here constantly tell me shit like "Throw some shrimp on the barbie." I just look at them and tell them we don't even say that shit. They still say it anyway.

@Ray Chill bro, I was just kidding lmao.
I still heart Goodkind.

No need to chill, I was just pointing out the irony of the situation.

ok i'm an idiot. i voted for Eddings bc i thought i was voting for the better of the two. Goodkind is crap and runs off the Dragon Ball Z concept.

Dragon Ball Z concept: ok i just beat up the biggest bad guy ever .. oh wait there is a bigger bad guy no one knew about ... there was a even bigger badass that made that last guy look like old poo.. wait .. so your telling me there is an even bigger bad guy that no one knew about ... so your telling me there is ...

Now Eddings is not much for putting a great plot and story together but man, he is one hell of a charactor writer. Alot like RA Salvator.

ps goodkind is crap .. i should buy those books so i can have toilet paper forever ..bc they don't even end !! oh the crap .. crap .. crap .. bah

Well, he's a good/acceptable (imo, of course) writer of four characters - cranky bloke, sarky woman, naive/innocent kid and Silk.
But then he goes and writes the same characters over and over again BUT BETTER (ie worse) till he ends up with his latest series which made my eyes bleed.

But at least there are no evil chikkinz.

And at least he gave us Silk. >_>

Yeah I agree with PG, Silk is the only original thing to come out of his books. although Althalus is kind of reminsicent of him...

The latest series (the Dreamers or something) made me want to lobotomise myself to get rid of the horrible memory of reading it. He must understand that anytime he lets his wife get near his computer (I'm sorry, typewriter) it will inevitably be a piece of drivel.
