I assumed you live in the US, so in the context of you actually living in London, I don't really understand your question.

Two different issues. OSC votes with his money (and the influence the associated fame and rhetorical practice gives him) so so should you.

Hard to see this not happening (the conservatives getting all butthurt about "liberal intolerance"). They would have a better case here than in some others. Like with Paula Deen, the connection between the watching of the movie and future hate isn't clear enough. Edit: Though if you think about it just a bit in this…

Well money is voting. Nobody is judging the work in the sense that I think you're implying. Beyond the sharing of presumably honest teenage experiences with the work.

Well, to be clear you live in the US, with its particular (and fast spreading) approach to democracy, and it's fame, contacts and money*, not just fame.

Yup. Sucks to be sane. And a pirate.

Yes. This is why piracy is such a great idea :)

You feel sick and are traumatized but carry on, as you do from any kind of trauma.

Do you even know how you elect your leaders?

I think the thing that really creeped me out about his books was just the whole dynamic with the three siblings in Ender's Game. After that I was always more than a little bit wary of the guy. I practically jumped on the whole Ender-is-Hitler theory when I first heard it. I still haven't really been convinced…

Well, depends on your mental model of a person in a particular circumstance. Your mental model is clearly "All homophobes are either homosexuals or assholes". But it's a bit hard to imagine OSC being a pure asshole of the calibre required to do what he has done, and with the application. I don't know, maybe there's…

Maybe if it's undercover, stuff that's undercover-gay is somehow suggestive of the best parts of bromance? I don't know. I just know that depending on how much stress I've got going on I do need a few crossed wires when I'm having a satisfactory social life to still have enough IQ left over for whatever. Is it a book…

I hope it features a telescope-wielding time-traveling badass Galileo.

Ok, this just suggested to me that you have a lawn I might want to buy off you. If it does any mutual stuff, I mean.

Shark Show Host

Sugarricane v Crocostorm of the century

It's actually set in the future, on a different planet after some sort of cultural apocalypse reset the clocks. That's why the air sharks.

Batowarry v T-Badger

Woah, that just blew my mind man. Can you imagine scientists inventing tornado snorkeling gear to swim with the whale sharks?

Flip flops are awesome but I have two cracked toenails from trying to wear them and slicing my big toes open in adverse environmental conditions. I have only myself to blame. I don't have a vag though, but I think you guys could choose to use a mental readiness to take a message to heaven/hell. That literally is what…
