Are you just jealous of the current movies' success? or what is it. Tolkien was no Quote:</em></strong><hr>rampant Germanophile <hr>, his love for northern mythology was just part of his love for English culture.<br>
That nasty little comparison with the nazis Quote:</em></strong><hr>(Just like the Nazis attempted)<hr> is way out of line. Modern nazis may want to read LOTR, but that's about as far as the connection goes - as much as the swastika is a nazi symbol in origin!<br>
<br>
Tolkien was a man of his age, and his thinking reflected that. Just as Julius Caesar was not a Mussolini or a Hitler even though he slaughtered thousands of people, Tolkien was not a nazi by any standards. Kindly go look for these modern nazis in your own country, they are very recognisable from the white cap on their idiotic heads.<br>
