Did Orcs/Goblins Survive?
I believe that somewhere in my edition of the Hobbit, it reads that Goblins were responisble for some of the more horrible weapons in the age of man. We know they were supposed to have died off, but did they "mingle" with some men thanks to Sauroman.

Yes I believe there is Orc-Men bred by Saruman in Isengard. They could stand the light of the sun

Actually I don't think it says they died off. The Fourth Age is supposed to mark the decline of all other speaking peoples (besides Men), but I don't think they are actually said to have died off completely. Hobbits are still around today, why not Goblins? Tater, you have some Orc-blood in ya, don't you?

Of course there are still orcs...where do you think lawyers come from??? The plan is for them to clog our court systems with frivolous lawsuits, then they will conquer us in the ensuing chaos.

Well, if judges come from lawyers, wouldn't that mean the whole system of law is controlled by them?! Drat, and I thought humans were dominantof all the species .

Just to clarify, I wasn't asking if there were men mingled with orcs, I just typed it out wrong <glares at the keyboard which is blamed for all mistakes>. Anyways, I am still to lazy to head down to the library can someone look in their edition of the Hobbit and see in the passage about the goblins weaponry and their future?

Actually, there is some information about Orcs and Goblins and how they fared after the destruction of the ring. I cannot quote, as I do not have the book with me right now, but it says something like the Orcs and Goblins survived and went back to their holes where they might have survived or might have been hunted down by men in the fourth age.
