I have read quite a few of the gor books, I know that they are a series. I do find it flat out rude to think that one point of view is more valid than others, wheather you have a gorean take on your life or any take. I agree that openess and acceptance of others view is the only way we learn about ourselves.

I can't blame anyone for being defensive when thier choice of beliefs is at risk of ridicule from others that "know better" and that is not right. There is always people that seem to think that they have all the answers and that thier way is the only way or your just not "serious".

Funny how that works. I didn't mention the bible deliberatly but that was the unspoken part of my statement that I felt in this thread perhaps shouldn't be mentioned. I only find it rather interesting because I have read more than one of the books and they are a comic book sort of story line. As i had stated an iteresting read but it is hard to understand as a basis of rules for a lifestyle. But then again everything has to start somewhere.

In the end it's to each thier own and if it works for them who is anyone to knock it.
