Adam you should really say before the link do not open if you havn't yet finished the book and don't want to know what happens in it!! Cause it ruins it for people.. :o
And I do not see how a t-shirt that ruins the end of a story book for people is class. Its a bit childish and pathetic IMO

That could mean a number of things..
Like he doesn't want Harry Potter discussed in this thread or this is an anti-Harry Potter thread :rolleyes:

it would be just the same if you had recorded a Sligo match and you were really looking forward to watching it and you didn't want to know the score before you watched and someone posted a thread saying Not for Sligo fans.. you'd look at it and there wasn't any warning about the result in it and you clicked on the like and there was the score.. match ruined for ya :D
BTW reading a book is just as childish as watching 22 men run around after a ball for 90mins :rolleyes:

If he did I'd be reporting his post :rolleyes:

Never said he ruined it for me specifically.. I know people reading it at the moment and are trying to avoid others telling them the ending..
Some people are just big spoil sports :D (the t-shirt people not adam, he did make a poor attempt in warning people :rolleyes: )

I like James patterson, Dan Browne, Anne Rice, stephen king to name a few..
I read a lot of auto-biographys too, crime and horror mostly though.
Reading Paul Williams Crimelords at the moment..
Harry Potter is very light reading as you can imagine.. but its very well written, I've read all the books so far in the series and they were all enjoyable

I really enjoy Harry Potter. I also think Lord of the Rings is great and read it years before the movies. The newest Harry Potter book is actually pretty unsuitable for anyone under 14/15 some pretty serious/narsty stuff in it.....get's to me a bit when people dismiss stuff as childish when they havn't even read it themselves-show's that they are quite insecure. So Harry Potter is about magic and good vs evil among other things.....so are you all telling me you think Lord of the Rings, every Dracula book/movie, any horror or fantasy is all childish?
If you understand Latin or Olde English literature you can get a lot more out of Harry Potter......i be thalf the people who call Harry Potter "childish" canane understand/work out a lot of the points. Fair play Eire06!

adam
Ok sorry if I over-reacted.
In all honesty I wouldn't make jokes about either the WTC or WWII....mabye it's just me but personally i'm not a fan of joking about death.
What is the more serious point however is that in all 3 cases mentioned (Tsunami, WTC, WWII) victims, survivors and immediate family members are all still alive and making a joke in public you have no way of knowing if those people are hearing/reading it. You also do not know how they will take it-it may not be meant maliciously and they may not take it as such but the may take offence and would be well within their rights to. I'd never make a joke about WWII especially in a public forum where survivors who saw their friends die on the battlefield may read it and feel upset, dissapointed, humiliated or just sad.
So fair question about the pre-dated cut-off point....may I ask you about the foward cut off point. In the last month I have heard jokes about both the London bombings and Anthoney Walker (the lad murdered with an axe in a liverpool race attack RIP)......would you wear a t-shirt joking about either of these?
dahamsta

Depends how funny it was. But I was asking a question more than making a point. I wouldn't wear that tsunami tshirt, but because it's not funny, not out of any kind of ethical concern. Humour is a valid form of emotional defense.
Plus it's a subjective thing. You'll remember that I ticked people off for making jokes about the pope's death, the London bombings, etc. But then I get to make that decision on here. Funny old world, eh?
(In truth I don't find any of the Worse Than Hell (http://www.tshirthell.com/worsethanhell.shtml) tshirts funny. No funny, not clever, just stupid really.)

You also do not know how they will take it
You don't know how anyone is going to take anything you say. Ever. Whether it be a joke or a statement of opinion. How about they have a little think about why the person made the statement. There can be several reasons for saying something and there can be several meanings to what they say. Does the offendee really believe that the offender set out to offend him/her?
it may not be meant maliciously and they may not take it as such but the may take offence and would be well within their rights to.
Just as people are well within their rights to make stupid jokes that most other people don't find funny.

Point taken.
When the latest book came out, I noticed all the fellow commuters who were reading it. There was a certain "type" who had a copy.
Conservatively dressed girls, on their way to a mundane office job or loner type blokes, with greasy hair and spectacles.
How's that for stereotypes!

Well if you saw it then it must be true...have never read a harry potter book or watched a film....not my type of thing!!
