You just don’t want to be rich badly enough. Even God has noticed your lack of ambition, otherwise you’d be dumping your friend’s body out of your wrecked Porsche and then disposing of his personal belongings in the woods right now.

Yes, but gay people are the devil’s familiars and must be blockaded from enjoying the same rights as righteous believers because there’s an ambiguous sentence in a bronze age book that we like that could be interpreted in many ways.

It’s a proven religious fact that women can derive all of their nutritional needs and a meaningful sense of self-worth by basking in the radiant warming glow of their betters.

God only strikes down atheists and leftists with the pox. Getting the sniffles is a warning that God has noticed your talk of equal rights and tolerance of gay people and women.

I blew out both of my testicles gluing that book shut as well. Don’t worry, we’re Libertarians; we can adopt a child from a war-torn shithole like Sudan and raise it like an Irish Setter, all while patting ourselves on the back for using our inherent benevolent superiority to elevate a single savage from the stagnant…

Yeah, because they’re only dumb chattel, not highly skilled athletes who have to spend hours outside of work keeping themselves in peak physical condition like the men who chase a ball around a field for millions of dollars a year.

That’s nice dear. You should smile more often.

Right back over yours.

Are you trying to make any sort of argument that Trump isn’t a bigot? I’d really like to see your evidence for that.

I’m not going to rationalize or defend Hillary Clinton’s behaviour or life up to this point. I also don’t play the stupid left vs right false-dichotomy game that politically-illiterate lumpen imbeciles like to get into fights with one another over.

The mental image I get looks a lot like the detritus from a shower strainer after a few weeks.

You’re the one making the claim. Show your sources or fuck off.

How will you be paying this evening, sir?

You’ll find him wrapped in bandages, sleeping in a grain sarcophagus.

Not Klingon enough for Ben Carson.

If GRRM managed to sneak an actual comprehensive study of turtles into his work, it’d be kind of awesome. Instead, we’d just get the usual shallow (but thoroughly thorough) description of the piss beading on their shells and either steaming in the morning air, or rolling into the water and nestling itself amongst a…

When did a sex scene become mandatory in writing?

How is a genre to blame for lazy writing?

The concept of an author who uses a search engine to indiscriminately parse websites for his content, which he dumps verbatim into his books (and still sell phenomenally well, based on sheer force of personality) sounds like the start of something PKD might write. There’s a distinctly Palmer Eldritch feel to that :)…

Lord of the Rings was more of a study in linguistics by a renowned Anglo-saxonist more than it was a genre piece. Not to say that everything JRR wrote was good though.
