Rowling: Potter's Dumbledore Gay
By AP/HILLEL ITALIE Saturday, Oct. 20, 2007


Based her on fan fiction Rowling came to this conclusion, it wasn’t due to what Rowling planned long ago but what some 16 year old girl concluded based on faulty logic. Therefore uses some sort of ‘Darwinian’ method to shape the world that she created, in which she plays the role of nature and chooses which mutation will stick and which will pass into time, whatever it is her book but I wish this puppet master would use a bit of critical thinking.
The basis in which some fans see Dumbledore as gay is he has no close relationships with women, and has a troubled past. Considering a majority of her fans are teenagers, ‘love’ and sex tends to, saturate their world. Their hormonal factories are in start up and still calibrating, some sprout like weeds, some remain stunted until the end of their adolescence. Most teenagers have problems with acne because their oil glands increased activity. Yes, their diet does not help matter. Yet for many this diet remains into the latter parts of puberty when these factories are close to their correct settings, and yet the zits decrease.
Let us walk through there observations. They claim Dumbledore must be gay because he does not have doesn’t have any close relations with women. If Dumbledore were gay he would be like any other person, homosexuality does not take from his libido, only modify the flavor of it’s longing. I always thought of Dumbledore as dedicated to his work. He is the ultimate administrator. His job is to craft young boys and girls into wizards and witches. This is a dangerous task, and I’m sure take a lot of his time. Harry’s earlier years at Hogwarts most of his attention was placed on Harry. The risk of Harry becoming a poisoned dragon, or killed by the followers of Valdemort, and living in a house of muggles that hated wizardry required Dumbledore to keep a close eye on Harry.
If Rowling wants Dumbledore to be gay then fine, I think it would damage the story for me but sure, make him gay. However put some stronger evidence than he has no love life. Hell I have no love life, especially in the way the world would have me paint what love should be, but it doesn’t keep me from watching some cute tail once in awhile, I just don’t see any reason for any sort of relationship. Lacking any evidence as to one way or the other I would thank Rowling to keep her personal views out of my reading thank you. If she didn’t intend him to be one way or the other then allow me, not some 16 year old, to shape the world I’m immersing myself in.

For security reasons, you are advised to keep your winning information confidential till your claim is processed and your money remitted to you in whatever manner you deem fit to claim your prize. This is part of our precautionary measure to avoid double claiming and unwarranted abuse of this program. Please be warned !!!

When I read that my information was processed my first thought was “how the hell could the information be processed if there is no place called Faerieland.” At the bottom of the letter is a phone number, and I start to think what if. Of course I’m not about to change my mind and send personal info to an unknown entity, so I research. I avoid the phone number, since some scams require a phone in, so they can use your number to reverse charges for other international calls, or charge outlandish toll fees. So I go to my old friend Google and discover another person to hear from this organization. He gets to step two and starts doubting his first judgement, and he sends his personal info. After a brief follow up with this ‘company’ he receives a notice from some courier service requesting his personal info again along with a picture of his driver license.
Wow I don’t know who these people are but that takes balls to try that one.

The U.S. and Turkey: Honesty Is the Best Policy
SAMANTHA POWER

In this article Samantha points out the reasons why we should take Turkey to task for their Genocide 93 years ago. She points out all the things that we have done for them in ensuing years in which, though there may be hurt feelings, the Turks should find reason to suck it up a little and at most and we could carry on. I believe the point of her article is to try to convince those in Congress that were on board with this resolution to find some back bone and do the right thing.
We have done some pretty impressive things for Turkey, according to Samantha, but she also points out the strength of Turkey's ungratefulness. When we asked to stage an assault from a base in Tukey, Turkey was so underwhelmed with what has been given them that they told us to pack sand. I have no doubt in my mind if we deliver this resolution, we will lose our supply train into Iraq. I am all for people 'fessing up for the crimes they commit, but I doubt Pelosi would be putting the screw to this resolution if were not a means to an end.
Pelosi is willing to sacrafice a few tens of thousands of fighting personel, if it means another tens of thousand wouldn't go and relieve them. Again I ask if this is such a hot topic why is it being brought up now after, two funding bills were shot down? Why wasn't this brought up earlier when she took over her new position as lead dawg. She was pretty succinct about bringing our boys and girls home, she could have fit the armenian problem in there also. Do what is right, but do it for the right reasons.
