[bassman]

some of these comments/reactions are ab-fucking-surd. And how is this any different from any other day here at HPotD?

And how is this any different from any other day here at HPotD? Anything less would be uncivilized.

THAT is what bothers me, Do-NOT-GIVE-A-FUCK about this "He's dead, she needed to move on, it's the apocalypse after all." excuse. Even if Rick WAS dead, yes she needed Shane to protect her and Carl. Which, as this famed best friend of her husband he was supposed to be, he shoulda done anyways. INSTEAD, Shane gives up on Rick (or didn't even try), and moved in for Ready-Made-Family Time. The body language and way she treats Shane while Rick is presumed dead is way more slutty in the TV series than in the comic. She REALLY enjoys Shanes attentions in the TV series. But sluts need love too and in the TV series there is hints of a failing marriage before the outbreak. And lets not forget that as soon she see Rick is alive she chooses Rick. Shane was her replacement, she went about it in a less than refined way but she was still faithful after a fashion... LoL My main point is that she really wants to be with Rick. So then Rick and we as audience just have to deal with the way she is. My theory has been all along that Shane manipulated the situation somehow so that Rick got left behind. I defintly agree that Shane is the one who have betrayed Rick. Ah, the classic women's excuse for low downess. All put the kids in the middle. The difference is a man would have found a way to both keep his child safe and look for his mother. Men and women are different and have different roles. In such a horrible situation the women would be the children second line of defense and the men the first. Society has regressed and become much more primitive. I think the TV series does a good thing of showing that. AND showing that its a bad thing. If you think that women need an excuse to stay at home with the kids and wash clothes and stuff then I suggest you watch Buffy the vampire slayer instead of the walking dead. ---------- Post added at 06:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:37 PM ---------- I like this discussion and don't see anything wrong with talking about these issues.

I like this discussion and don't see anything wrong with talking about these issues. well, as long as we're keeping it within a somewhat tame and polite context. labelling lori as a whore and going into detail about murdering her and shane are crossing the line a bit, if you ask me.

[Thorn]

jesus christ, i can't wait till the show resolves this issue and moves along in the plot so we can discuss something else... some of these comments/reactions are ab-fucking-surd. And disturbing.

well, as long as we're keeping it within a somewhat tame and polite context. labelling lori as a whore and going into detail about murdering her and shane are crossing the line a bit, if you ask me. So it's not just me...

Oh, and if i need suggestions on what to read or watch I'll watch oprah, thank you much.

[ProfessorChaos]

So it's not just me... no, even as profane, cynical, and bitter as this fomer Marine with a tour during the worst months of the iraq war can be, the comments coming from some and the hostility displayed in this thread really seems uncalled for....like bass said, they're characters in a comic book, not every single woman/man who's ever wronged you rolled into one super-terrible person.

[AcesandEights]

Wish I could find that thread about why we don't have more female posters, as I've finally found the perfect answer for the question.

[bassman]

Uh oh. I think I can see where this one is going. In before the lock!

[AcesandEights]

Uh oh. I think I can see where this one is going. In before the lock! I'm hopeful we can have a calm conversation about all this. Classic.

[darth los]

Wish I could find that thread about why we don't have more female posters, as I've finally found the perfect answer for the question. Yeah, women hate it when they're called on certain things. So i see your point. No, i get the last post bass. Muahahahahahahaha!

[BillyRay]

Yeah, women hate it when they're called on certain things. They also hate it when they get called certain things, too... Derogatory language is easy, brother. Just sayin'.

[darth los]

I'm hopeful we can have a calm conversation about all this. Classic. Well, aces, as we have said many other times everyone has a right to their OPINION and that said opinion is just that and is neither right or wrong. So when I state mine and get responses telling me were to go and what i should be watching instead yeah I'm going to take exception to it. ---------- Post added at 03:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:41 PM ---------- They also hate it when they get called certain things, too... Derogatory language is easy, brother. Just sayin'. That i agree with. Go back and check I haven't called anyone anything. That's why we have separate posts. Whatever terms others choose to use is on them. Some might find it more offensive that people thenk men and women should and do have different roles. I'm just sayin'. Now that's:

I didn't mean to single you out on that one, 'Los. Here's a picture of some kittys. 01-12-08_1309.jpg
