Creepy relationships between a sparkling vampire, who is hundreds of years old, and a 17 year old girl are considered soul-mates? Sounds like paedophilia to me. Just saying.
Seriously Soul-Mates means a connection of the SOUL and it doesn’t matter the body the soul is in. It’s the same way with the Skin-Shifters. That soul connection is EXACTLY why she reacts the way she does when he leaves to protect her.
Chronological age really has nothing to do with it. Edward may be many years old, but that doesn’t mean he thinks like an old person. He’s been too busy existing in a half-life to really grow and mature in mental capacities.
That, and anyone not blinded by “ooh romantic soulmates sparkly vampires**t” has no trouble identifying the deeply abusive nature of their relationship. Not to mention the abysmal writing.
So what you’re saying is that he’s mentally retarded. He is mentally underdeveloped to such an extent that his social prowess and mind has not evolved beyond that of a tween, given over a hundred years of potential growth. Yes. Bella, you’ve chosen well.
Maybe (just maybe) it’s because I’m not really into necrophilia or zoophilia. And the the real part that killed it for me was a SPARKLING 80 year old virgin. Now that’s just not my kind of soul-mate/life-bond.
Zoophilia is sexual acts with non-sentient animals. The skin shifters are human, thus sentient and consenting, and can simply take on the forms resembling wolves.
and yet… they. do. not. exist. people are going to get creeped out by the fact thatwhat you consider a “good” relationship is a complete and utter fantasy. That, and Bella is not emotionally stable – nor does her relationship to Edward seem healthy or stable.
Are you sure it’s nothing to do with nothing to do with the series glorifying stalking, taking advantage of people’s kindness, cheating (if your ex is your “tru wuv” it’s ok!), and paedophilia as romantic behavior?
Plus the protagonist being such a self-absorbed cuntmonkey that she’d let tons of people needlessly die for her?
Actually, the note was to Twilight fans..and from Trekkies..
And this note was talking about “Trekkies” and I’m assuming twi-hards, not just fans of Twilight, in which case they are definitely some psycho little teeny boppers who will forever compare every guy they meet and every romantic feeling they get to these make-believe standards.
It’s some measure of a work of fiction as to what types of extreme behaviour it inspires. Trekkies tend to learn language, make elaborate costumes and hang around talking about how science can save the world. Harry Potter fans have a tendency to learn, costume and create charity projects from wholecloth. Twihards cut themselves, physically attack detractors of the series and scream. They don’t even have a reputation for donating blood, which would actually be useful for saving lives. Hence Twilight sucks. It doesn’t inspire any positive human trait.
Dear Trekkies, as a long time fan(atic) of Science Fiction (Clark, Heinlein, Asimov, Bear, ect) I think the only people who even come close to making you look sane are the loopies who reenact civil war battles!
This trekkie does not approve your negitism, Allen. I really want to hit you the head with my fake phaser. However, seeing as you’re human, and entitled to your own opinions, I must ask myself, What Would Captian Picard Do?
Dear Trekkies, as a long time fan(atic) of Science Fiction (Clark, Asimov, Heinlein, Bear, etc) I think the only people who make you look sane and well adjusted are the loopies who dress up and go out to recreate civil war battles!
Well, just like there are differences between simple fans and diehards, it is the same with trekkers and trekkies. Some are just more crazy than others! Makes me want to weep for the world.
Finally . . . some new, short-lived fad has taken the heat off of us. Quickly, members of the Federation, to our Vulcan allies! They may be able to predict how long this fad will last. Then we must rejoice until the time comes and take cover once more!
It’s not the stupid romance that makes Twilight that bad, I think. It’s the view of vampires and werewolves they have made. Classic vampires do charm their victims to get them sucked not fall in love with them, classic vampires burn to ashes in sunlight and don’t start to sparkle. Classic vampires don’t live in an “American idol house” cooking for mortals.
It’s not the romance I don’t like in Twilight, but the abuse of classical vampires.
I agree with you with the discrimination of vampires and werewolves (not as bad but still bad) is not right. And think about it Twilight vampires; they sparkle, live in the woods, and dont drink the blood of humans, hence there Pixies!!!
Just because you read Twilight doesn’t mean you believe the stories are true. It’s a friggin romance novel you idiots.
It’s not the book or the people who just read it/watch it. It’s the obsessive crazy fans this letter is talking about.
I’ve noticed that many of the people who severely dislike it just don’t understand the concept of life-bonds/soul-mates.
Some of us just don’t like abusive relationships like Edward and Bella have.

So if i translate being a pedophile is okay as long if they are soul mates and the older one is Childish F-up?
Like I said, the concept goes right over your head. That and you’re very cynical.
So basically, a 77 year old man can date/make love to a 3 year old and it’s okay if their soulmates? That’s some messed up logic right there.
That, and anyone not blinded by “ooh romantic soulmates sparkly vampires**t” has no trouble identifying the deeply abusive nature of their relationship. Not to mention the abysmal writing.
so thats why bella flat-out CHEATS on edward? because they are ment to be together? i hate to say it but soul-mates dont exist

Since when are animals non-sentient?
Thank you Dustin. You make me warm on the inside with this.

Stupid Twilight fan.
Wow. You got your facts from Wiki? Must be spot on then. I mean it’s not like anyone can just go on that website and write what they think is correct.
Are you sure it’s nothing to do with nothing to do with the series glorifying stalking, taking advantage of people’s kindness, cheating (if your ex is your “tru wuv” it’s ok!), and paedophilia as romantic behavior?

Just because you watch and like Star Trek doesn’t mean you think it’s all true either. Its a sci-i show, you idiot.
It…It’s not true?! *Sob*
For the humor impared: This is a joke (so is twilight).
^this is who the note was meant for

Nevermind..I thought you were commenting to Jen above you. My apologies.
It’s a lame excuse for a piece of literature, that’s what it is. It is also a FAR cry from a romance novel, trust me.
It is still a crappy book and the twitard type fans get violently rude.
This ^

The people who rate this down are most likely Twilight fans and love vampires who sparkle…
huh?
comment?
Technically it’s “TrekkERS”
Shut up, you Kirk-loving Spock-sucker!
i’m going to go with Mr. Roddenberry’s term for us fans. if HE calls us Trekkies, then a Trekkie i will be
Trekkers and Trekkies are two different, but real, groups of Star Trek fans.
Dear Trekkies, as a long time fan(atic) of Science Fiction (Clark, Heinlein, Asimov, Bear, ect) I think the only people who even come close to making you look sane are the loopies who reenact civil war battles!
I have know idea how I managed to double post, but I really hate trekkies

HOO HAA NERDFIGHTERS!
will you marry me?
Squeee!!! DFTBA
Awesome.
you suck Trekkies are awesome and your just to jealous to admit it!

Hello, handwritten thank you I would have found himself better. But well, what can you do.
Twi-hards*
Look at that subtle off-white coloring.
The tasteful thickness of it.
Watermark, show me the wtermark.
Well, just like there are differences between simple fans and diehards, it is the same with trekkers and trekkies. Some are just more crazy than others! Makes me want to weep for the world.
Completely loving this.
wow… it’s not every day that I find a fellow Trekkie/nerdfighter.
Finally . . . some new, short-lived fad has taken the heat off of us. Quickly, members of the Federation, to our Vulcan allies! They may be able to predict how long this fad will last. Then we must rejoice until the time comes and take cover once more!
Kree, Jaffa!
Twilight is rubbish star trek is better and as it says it does something impossible make star trek fans normal

lol giving yourself waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too much credit there trekkies
hey at least we sane! (kinda…)
Do you think when Jacob grows us he’ll do Priceline commercials too? Who had his shirt off more anyway?
Hard question.
Is that typed, as in using an actual type-writer?
It’s so beautiful.
I rather enjoyed being the ultimate weirdo- a Trekkie who is also a Metalhead who makes gay jokes against himself
