I honestly cannot think of single actual living person who has avoided having a relationship with someone because they were scared by the intensity of their feelings. You either want to be with someone or you don't, if you have intense feeling about someone you want to be with them. I can think of people who avoid relationships out of fear of intimacy or commitment but that's not the same thing. People only pull that crap in romance novels, people who believe that cheesy line need to read "He's Just Not That Into You" or if that doesn't work go for the real shock therapy with Dennis Leary "Why We Suck".

I think part of why I don't like Lee is he comes across as being very much a product of white elitist thinking, which is something I really can't stand. Its like he's a stand-in for every guy being described by the book "Stuff White People Like". He just feels like those kids from my old Native history class who felt as long as they believed the politically correct party line it didn't matter that they thought they were better than the ignorant savages we were studying. Lee is very much a racist in the most subtle and scary way and he's exactly the type of people I hate because its the type that bites me in the ass the most.

Yeah I know Sam is dull because he's good for Kara. Honestly it all boils down to what I've said before most of the K/L side doesn't give a damn about Kara she's just a stand in for their little fantasy.

Yeah, I can see that.

Lee is very priveleged, isn't he? Kind of sad when you think about the fact his ancestors were hard-working Tauron farmers.

Yeah that may be one of the great ironies of the character. Even his attitudes to the Chief and Dee are pretty patronizing.

You know I was going to say I was being harsh to the K/L side earlier but after reading the ridiculous comments on their skiffy thread tonight I actually feel rather justified. Now that shit is funny, apparently Katee is being terribly disrespectful to fans by DARING to express her opinion. (Cuz that's just awful isn't it? Katee saying what she thinks, its just so mean to those poor shippers *sarcasm*) in case you think I've suffered some form of brain damage or worse yet drank the K/L kool-aid.(Which I suspect causes brain damage.)
