Honest to GSD, word filter?
--- Quote from: Ozymandias on 03 Aug 2008, 11:22 ---I'm not even sure why you chose to refer to it by this title. I never knew it by that title, and the title hasn't been used in America for 68 years.
Edit: Oh wait you're Australian. I guess there's only 28 years of having a reasonable name there.

I read an old edition, like 35 years old and I wasn't being at all rascist. It genuinely wass the name of the book and contextually there was nothing wrong with naming it as such, people need to stop being so overly sensitive. I'm sure Christie didn't sit down thinking "Yeah /viggers, I don't like them they are an inferior race. I will write a story in which the word is used a fair number of times and the main chrarcters will drop off like the /viggers in a certain poem."
Ozymandias:
Nothing wrong with naming it as such at all.
Which is why the name was changed to Ten Little Indians and then And Then There Were None 20 years before the civil rights movement even started and no one refers to it as such anymore.
Clearly, there was nothing wrong with it or the poem.
I mean, this isn't Huckleberry Finn, where use of the word is relevant to the setting and theme. The use of the word is irrelevant t the novel, as evidenced by how quickly and easily it was removed. Why bother referring to it as such?
Vendetagainst:
That was a terrific book, the only other Agatha Christie book I've read is Murder on the Orient Express. It was interesting, but didn't really compare to And Then There Were Ten Little Indian Boys That Took the Place of the Black Ones.

Wow, that commercial is great. I wish I could be so lucky to have Mr. T drive through a building to shoot snickers at me from a modified gatling gun.

A friend of mine just reviewed the series for me and I thought her analysis was pretty accurate. (This is a shortened excerpt)
and bella! ugh what a fucking bitch! she has no personality whatsoever. i mean i realize smeyer wrote bella as an extension of herself and as a blank character for other girls to imprint themselves on but this is how she is: "i'm bella waaaaaaaaaah i dont wanna move away waaaaaaaaaah i'm so self sacrificing waaaaaaaaaah i am never gonna make any friends waaaaaaaaaaah wait, why are these people in my high school being nice to me and actually showing interest waaaaaaaaaaah fine i'd rather not make any friends waaaaaaaaaaah why is jacob mad at me when all i did was give him false hope waaaaaaaaah why is edward not mad at me when he knows i love jacob too waaaaaaaaaaaaaah why is alice being so sweet to me and taking care of me and i cant even say thank you waaaaaaaaaaaaaah"
and edward! you'd get a restraining order on his ass in real life! fucking stalker watches you while you sleep cuts your breaks to keep you from driving other places where he cant be mentally attuned to you at all times psycho!
and i still LOVE HIM.
seriously these books are such shit and i love them so guiltily and so much and i HATE IT.
And that's about how I feel as well.
Woo hoo Breaking Dawn here I come!
