Hahaha, I havn't heard that since like 3rd grade.

im in 3rd grade lol not really im gonna be in 8th but anyway the point is who needs equality

everybody. Without equality, there comes racism, sexism, bullying, corruption and all the other rubbish this world can do without. For somebody who's going to be in 8th grade (English year 9 I think) I'd have thought you could realise that.

*hangs head in shame* i know im sorry

I wasn't on line yesterday so I kind of missed the ongoing debate.
I wonder what your mom would think about that statement!
However, as far as the courses I've done in Biology, Human Biology and Genetics, intelligence is not, NOT, related with gender. That's in regards to intelligence; on the other hand, strength will depend totally on the individual's wish to develop it. True, the bone structure of males is different than the females, but I remember kicking quite a few butts when I was in school.
It all comes to motivation; when fear kicks in, together with survival, scrawny people can do BIG things.
If we go back to the forum's index and go topic by topic, we'll find mindless, incoherent, ridiculous posts both from females and males.

Angela is a humorous character in the story; she contributes to lighten the mood in all her dialogues. Smoking pot?, well we don't know if she does or she doesn't, seeing that she is a herbologist. Maybe she doesn't have the cannabis plant and has a substitute
of it in her time and place.

yea they WERE more powerful but now they are dead and only male riders have survived

NONE survived exept gilby cus Brom is dead. And eragon and Murtag are New Riders not ELder Riders. but theres orimis but hes like disabled I mean Brom didnt even have a dragon and Gilby lost his Dragon and had to get a new one. SO i think the females took batter care of thier dragons and died if thier dragons did

yes but now the MALE riders are the first to come back

how do you know, she will be only the 3rd new rider, so its not exactly enough build up time for the riders

actually, yes i do want it to be 5/5, and he wont appear sexist

i dont have a problem with women as long as there hot or smart or both (that would be a miracle) but im just saying a male rider would be more useful

vanir would be just as good or better

they were evenly matched and eragon only beat him at the end and plus hes a rider so he has a dragons strength also, so imagine if vanir got that kinda power, eragon would be owned

Eragon wasn't using Saphira's power. He can tap into her power, but he wasn't!!!

yes, but he was still infused with a dragons power, and riders are naturally stronger than all else and vanir started super strong so imagine him then

They are enhanced, but eragon was only brought up to an elf's level. I'll bet you all of my saphira coins that Vanir isnt going to be the next rider.

i dont even care about saphira coins really, i dont use them so i just gave you the rest of mine

Eragon was exceptional for a human and now he is exceptional for a elf (kinda). Vanir is good, but not as good, or Saphira would've picked her!

HER, Vanir is a GUY anyway, the green dragon might be suited for him

1. Well SORRY!!!! I make one mistake and you're all up in my face!!!! 2. ARYA's GOING TO BE THE NEXT DRAGON RIDER!!!!

i think your going crazy over this, calm down, take a deep breath, and wait for vanir to become the next Rider

Getting back on track, it is possible for there to be female dragon riders.

yes it is possible, there has already been a few

We're agreeing!!!! YEAY!!!!! btw, a battle between Arya and Eragon is in order again!!! THAT'D BE AWSOME!!!

The poll question has to be rephrased either will there be or were there ever female dragon riders.

what do you mean a battle between Arya and Eragon

Fight, Battle, same thing, like in Farthen Dur!!! I want to see how well he does this time!!!

Why would you dislike it??? For one thing, it might give a fighting chance againts Galbatorix and secondly, it gives Eragon a better chance with her! I mean like, as Saphira said, if Eragon "gets attached to someone", than Saphira's feelings get "involved". With their dragons mating, maybe that will have some effect on her??? maybe...

vanir has almost the same personality as me im just not usually a jerk unless it involves my sister and im pretty sucesfull

1. Elvenwarrior where did that come from? 2. Elvenwarrior that's totally off topic! 3. AnnieBee, you didn't answer my question!

sorry i meant to qoute annibee but forgot

I never said it but I totally agree with AnnieBee about Vanir, but bigot of a jerk isn't the phrase I would have used. I also agree with her about the next Rider (note my signiture) but I couldn't want it more!!!

why do you hate vanir i mean, what did he ever do to you

He was a total jerk!!! That's what he did! It's not like Eragon ASKED TO BE CRIPPLED!!! He could have let up a little on the insults!

he was just pointing out the obvious

He could have shown a little empathy, or is he incapable of it!!! The only time he let up was when he got totally PONED!

go pone yourself they fought for a long time and eragon only won because he was a rider and a bit**, i mean eragon was so pathetic he deserved no empathy

Being a rider has nothing to do with it!!!! besides which, I can tell that you are JUST LIKE HIM!!!

i told you so earlier but yes being a rider had everything to do with it

it has some to do with it.. not all

it had to do with most of it

Let's say that Vanir is a 10 on the "kick butt O meter" Eragon was a 6.5 before he became a rider. The .5 accounts for Eragon's technical skill. When he became a rider, he became a 7.5. The Dragons then added 4, making him a 11.5, beating Vanir by a sligh margin of 1.5.

lets just point out the fact that vanir won 29/30 times

But that's when Eragon was a 7.5!!!

still, its a fact, just remember 29/30

Remember that's history!!!

i know you dont like that little fact but its ok

I just want to point out that Arya's going to be the next rider.

I also noticed that we are the only two people talking!!! Don't you think that we should let other people post something???!!!

if they want to they will

you guys are posting sooooooo much i cant keep up with it.. its also kinda getting annoying.. lol

i know i almost got in trouble so ive cut back

of course there are girl riders!!! in the first book it said so wen brom was talking bout the hhistory of the riders or mabey someone else said that but i remember there are girl riders

Thank you dragon heart we've cleared that up. I guess this is useless now isnt it?

We can still argue if there are going to be girl Riders.

P.S. Just look at my sig for the answer.

i thank it might happen maybe just to thorw a surprize in there we will no soon enuff

It's not going to be a suprise for me! I've benn arguing that Arya's going to be the next rider ever since I've got here! And there are going to be girl riders (cough, Arya, cough, green dragon, cough)!

Ayra is one of the only fesible riders. CP wont make another human rider because it would take to long to train. So that eliminates alot of guys and almost all the girls but Ayra. She would be perfect because it would tie evrything like the dream, the fortune, and everwhere the book is going altogether.

I say Roran. He has some skill with a hammer and Eragon has to go back to Ellesmera to finish his training so Roran would be taught there and they could both learn together and teach other and spare against each other. Then Saphira and the Green Dragon could be great friends and have dragon eggs together.

A rider isn't going to go around with a hammer, is he/she???? Friends don't "do the bad thing"! (u no) Eragon has taken a long time with Oromis, even with Brom's training. Roran would take WAY LONGER! Arya would already know everything, save for the dragon and rider stuff.

Eragon still has to go back anyway. And if Arya became a Rider she still would probably have to go through an even harder test or something.

yes but remember she is a creature of magic, she knows some powerfull magic. She is strong, not a weak human.

She would ace any test. The only things she has to learn are stuff about dragons, anti-dragon combat, and riding, though her dragon could easily learn all Saphira has through her memories (not counting her bad encounter with Glaedr).

Remember when Eragon went through all that training. I'm saying she would through it but Oromis would make it so much harder for her than Eragon because she is older and is more indelved in magic and she is also alot stronger.

The purpose of training is to train, not to challenge. Arya would go through it quickly because of her proficiency in magic and fighting. And when Arya and Eragon are training, they will spar with each other (it's going to be SWEET!).

Oromis would make it harder. Like turn water into a vase while trying to protect your mind while I try to probe you or something like that.

Yeah she probably wouldn't want to be a Rider because then she'd have to leave her people to help Alageasia with it's problems and help Eragon.

She hasn't been around her people for 70 years! It's not like a couple more will make much of a difference! And it's not like after a dragon hatches for you, you have a choice! it may be aquard for her to be around Eragon all the time... other than that, it's fine!

Yeah but she said she missed them. I don't think she wants to leave after being away 70 years, would you?

She would be around them for a while during their training and she was there during the Blood-Oath Ceremony, which counts for a lot.

Like maybe a couple of months, I think (can't rememebr). But c'mon she at least deserves a couple of years at least.

she has missed them, but she's not exactly liked her mother... once she has a dragon she'll have other stuff to do.

what do you mean "once she has a dragon"

u no wat i mean!!! When she gets the green dragon and she becomes a rider!!!

We found the answer to the question, so we switched it to will there be girl dragon riders. I also created a topic for just this and to prove that almost no one thinks Vanir will be the next rider,

CP already made it clear that there were, so the only thing to do is discuss if there will be. no offence!

why dont we just stop this topic? I dont see why not...............

I might edit it.

I agree with I'MNOTCRAZY here! CP is not a male chauvinist, so it is highly probable, 99.9% that Arya is to be the next Rider and female to boot!

You said it!!! That is probably one of the strongest evidences that the next rider will be Arya.

Yeah, but people sometimes refuse to let go of their incorrect thoeries.

What? that Vanir or Roran will be the next rider???

yes it will mostlikley be arya cuz that is what is going to happen

Y can't more people be more sensible like us???

idk,, they just dont want to admit that they were wrong and we were right..

I hate people like that.

lol!!! Yeah, she's a girl.... wait a minute! If she's a she, then she's a girl!!! WOOOOOOAH!!!
