F.


The sequal to "End's Shadow"  is "Shadow of the Hegemon",  which I just finished.  Interesting idea behind it.  What happens to the highly trained and intelligent, battle school kids after they are returned home after the war?

There is a movie in the works based on these books.

Watch "Doom Generation" while you're at it, and your recipe for a fantastic first date is complete!


Edit: My wife rented "Doom Generation", for us to watch, one night.  I would have been quite content, to have never seen the movie.  It was the saddest, most depressing and draining movie have ever seen.  I will not make the same mistake with"Sophie's Choice".  I know what the general plot is, and that is more then enough.

I have 4, ages 28-19, youngest still at home.

Loving and liking someone are not the same. Almost every parent loves their child/children and the depth of that is very hard to quantify. The full depth is sometimes only apparent in times of trouble or difficulty.

Liking someone is alway easier when their actions are pleasing and meet with your approval.

It is an interesting question...I have a friend who hates to admit it but he does have a greater "love" for his first born.  I cannot say the same...I have two boys 3 and 1.5 years old...love 'em both equally.  Having said that though, their personalities have not truly come out yet...one may end up being a little "Finklestein toejam kid"....

Iron beat me to it:)

I have four myself (8-14yrs)....I've often told my kids that I will always love them no matter what they do to themselves or us as their parents, however, I may not like them very much at times.

Marrying and having children is the best thing I have ever done...it has true value ulike what I do for a living:)

Rude, some of us appreciate the job you do at Suzie's Adult Bookstore. After all, someone has to clean out the peep show booths.

Two boys, both pretty different individuals.

IMO:

"Love" is a permanent emotion I have towards them both. I do love them both equally, both the same. I always will.

"Like" is/can be a somewhat transitory emotion. I like them both differently and it is an emotion that varies.

YMMV.

What Toad, Curval and Eagler said: How can one actually say that he "loves" one more than another?  I suspect that person that Curval refers to is confusing the emotion love with admire.  You can admire one more than the other (for accomplishments, etc.) but the love is more than likely equal...

How could I decide to love one more than the other of these two Propellor heads? :)

OK I don't hate them all. ....

Its just the damn things keep eating my food, wearing my socks and wanting to drive my car!

I don't know where I went wrong dammit! They just won't freakin LEAVE! Even the ones who have their own place keep coming back to eat my food! Any other animal would kill their young for that!

Then they bring in their own kids too! aaaaaahhhhhhhhgggggg!!
