Didn’t you know? Gawker is run by SJW’s!!!!

How would we fill our prisons up with political detainees when they’re already full of black men caught with a dime bag? Thank God we don’t arrest white people caught with cocaine or we’d have to build more prisons!

Hell, David Weber’s website is copyrighted 2009 and looks like an Geocities site.

I have never seen an author release a book under a pen name that wasn’t marketed as “Author X writing as Y!!!”. I don’t know why they bother with the pen names.

Weird, I always took Xanth and the situations in it to be fantasy exaggeration of society.

Oh! DO please give us a list of who can or can’t write which stories and why. Otherwise how will the world go on??

Ummm, you do know that having a character voice something that is integral to the character isn’t the same as the author themselves indorsing an idea?

So you’re saying what, you’d be okay if he molested a boy? Such a wierd thought process in your head. “Well, at least it wasn’t a girl!”

The main character in Under a Velvet Cloak was in 500 AD. What exactly do you expect to happen to a young girl (13 was a perfectly marriageable age then) with no family support back then? Becoming a courtesan was probably one of the happier possible outcomes, at least it comes with some independence and…

Also if this main story was about a 15 year old girl getting shelter in the house of a creepy uncle type, it may not have been so jolly and uplifting and harmless.

If George R.R. Martin had written it, you’d say it was gritty realism for the time period the story was describing.

Sooo.. George R.R. Martin writes some books filled with rape, murder, underaged sex and he gets a TV series.. Piers writes a few and he’s the “creepy uncle”.

But why doesn’t Matt kill?

The bill also has language that handcuffs the state government’s ability to “substantially burden a person’s exercise of religion even if the burden results from a law, rule, regulation, ordinance or resolution of general applicability.”

You know what will turn a hardcore Libertarian/Objectivist into a Socialist? Another Libertarian/Objectivist with more money than they have that wants to fuck them over.

I’m sorry, I started laughing when you said The Fountainhead was “realistic fiction” and couldn’t read the rest of your post.

I wonder if they’ll have Olivia Munn fake a British accent at least.

What if the police came to your door with the All Writs act and said you have to buy a camera and install it so it can see your computer screen whenever they want?

I understand your argument, but change “having sex for money” with “cleaning toilets for money” and does that make you feel different? Because people do a lot of grungy jobs just to live and nobody gives a damn until somebody’s getting a BJ.

So you’ve mailed a copy of your house key to the police, along with an updated spreadsheet of all your passwords? You know, for your safety and to help the police in whatever investigations they might have regarding you in the future?
