Good quote harvest, but I am deducting points for missing their ridiculous smileys. Besides insanity, that's the signature trait of an RR post.

"I can totally see pitting kids against each other (to fight to the death!) for television entertainment."
This from the website where they eagerly await being able to see everyone who doesn't kowtow to their whims being eternally tortured.

You've obviously never read your bible. The inhuman behaviour described in it, *mandated* by your god, is beyond anything found in the Hunger Games: slavery, murder, torture, rape, smashing babies heads off of rocks, stoning kids who back-chat their parents to death, the list of immorality and brutality goes on and on.

"The Hunger Games" is basically Hollywood ripping off Japan's earlier light novel/manga/films "Battle Royale", and repackaging the scenario for teens.
Moral: The phrase 'Don't believe everything you read'. it exists for a reason.
It also applies to your Bible, grace(get)carriedaway.

"It is what COULD happen, if America fell, and a corrupting central government seized power and stripped people of their freedom"
Which is the aim of theocrats and Rapture Ready
And I have not read it but isn't the book supposed to be some post apoocalyptic story?

Of course, this is why you're not a published author.

I think you missed the point of the books.

Yes, the whole series could have been a complete shit-fest if you were the one who wrote it.

@Anon-e-moose:
Hollywood may have made the book into a movie because of the Battle Royale-esque style, but I seriously doubt that the author of Hunger Games has watched Battle Royale. The original, or the remake. Just saying

Aww. I'm sure the popularity of the books as of now shows that Suzanne Collins doesn't need extra chefs sticking their spoons into her gumbo thank you very much.

"What could have been" was a shitty book. The hunger games is awesome.

Let's reduce fiction to dreary and tedious biblical pontificating.

@Anon-e-moose: 1. The author of HG was inspired by reports of, if I remember this correctly, child soldiers.
2. WHAT light novel? Normative novel, yes.

So, if the books don't mention socks or kumquats or cats, you automatically assume they portray a world in which those things are also unknown?

"It is what COULD happen, if America fell, and a corrupting central government seized power and stripped people of their freedom."
Kinda like if the GOP had even more control than they already do, and they got to achieve their wet dream of being able to tell you you can't control how many pregnancies you have, and force you to have the baby of some guy who jumps you and rapes you in a parking lot.

You're fucking retarded and your fan fiction makes the anime erotica currently infesting the Web look like William Fucking Shakespeare.

A better ending would have been for God to come down and put a stop to all that crap. But given that He allowed a third of the human population of Europe to die of the Plague and allowed the Nazis to kill six million Jews, that would be too much of a fantasy to be believable.
