    Just because a character is developed more doesn't mean that it's better literature.

    I'm not arguing that either one is better than the other, just that character development isn't necessary for good literature.

    That of course is YOUR opinion, just as MY opinion is the opposite. So not sure why you're now arguing that your OPINION is more valid than mine.

    Didn't I just say that I was not arguing that one was better than the other?

    Two fence-sitters had a conversation; was anything resolved?

    wrong, THE FACT that a person has been arrested before , all by itself, leads a cop to believe he might be guilty of something else. Why is it the suspect list includes checking 'KNOW FELONS"

    YEA, cops never pull somebody over based on their car, or race, or appearance. GOTHCHA,,,not in my world..

    You declare that cops are trained to profile, then you say they dont use it.
