The Moral Universe of Middle-earth

[Voronwë the Faithful]

Here's the thread I was originally looking for, one of the first threads that we had here, with links to two of the core discussions from back at TORC that led to the formation of the Hall of Fire in the first place.

Thank you Voronwë. I enjoyed reading it again.

[Frelga]

I find it hard to focus on the content of the posts over the names of those who made them. So many that I miss so much.

[Impenitent]

Same response, Frelga.

My life has achieve synergy. Red Cross plus Tolkien.

This is a youth campaign for young Red Crossers (age 13 to 24) and their friends, so I'll just lurk. If you want to crash the Zoom party with me, I can send you the link.

That's cute and all, but did they run out of real conflicts to study? (Red Cross is not being favorably regarded in Ukraine right now, from what I read.)

Before this they studied the Potter-verse. I think it's just a way to get kids to think about international morality in a context they are familiar with. I'm sorry to hear it's not working out in Ukraine.

So I watched it, and then found that they record these videos and post them on YouTube afterwards, so here's the link. More than you ever thought to ask about concerning perfidy in Middle Earth, and how that relates to international Humanitarian Law.
