May seem a silly question, but please, lets generate some serious discussions here!

IAre people thick? We have two authers here with differing distopian views of the future! Use these to give insightful and interesting answeres that reflect on any accuracies and inacuracies that either may have had, and then come up with interesting arguments for and against each of the viewpoints, include these in a fight scenario and earn 10 points!

Max! I was calling the people who had allready answered the question inadiquatly thick! and in particular the tw4t who said it was a stupid question (and you probably). Since I posted that I have had a couple of good answers, chosing a best one will be difficult!

Orwell was consumptive, but had a much more sinewy and masculine prose style. Huxley was addled with drugs, poor eyesight and a more relaxed, surrealist style.
Conclusion? Huxley – based on the fact that he'd be too out of it contemplating the doors of perception to realise the can of Whoop *** that Orwell had opened. As Orwell eventually tired, the rattling in his chest would, however, lead him to collapse.
Huxley, half blind and twittering on about the gulf between the extended and unextended, would be awarded the victory only for Anthony Burgess to batter him mercilessly in the finals.

George Foreman, or well, maybe Big Daddy?
Sorry, lol! My post-modernist take on the two authors based on a deconstructionalistic perspective would be to conclude that neither was actually presenting a distopian view of society. Rather it seems to me that both have a eschatological view of human history derived from their incipient pessimistic outlook as they aged. The hidden agenda is actually messianic as they looked forward to the coming of the Ubermensch. As such, a contest between then is too contrived and neither would emerge as victor. It would be a tie, I think.

Orwell, no doubt. He could look after himself, which is something I've never really associated with Huxley, maybe its the impression that Huxley was more of an academic than a fighter!

Orwell would stomp Huxley's face with his boot.

Who's Audus Huxley? Oooooh, you mean ALDOUS Huxley. (Sorry.) I vote for George. Aldous had poor eyesight.

No offence but if you really wanted people to answer your question i don't think calling them thick is the BEST way to ask them....
