    Meh. Never liked the book all that much and Orson Scott Card is a world-class jerkoff.
    All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.

    Good Grief, the guy sounds like a complete asshole. No thanks.

    On the gay thing, the expression "self-hating" comes to mind.

    Join the next generation of weirdos... ban thirds and watch the aliens whittle down our numbers. Never again; that's what Jews say about the Holocaust, how original. Who thinks of this crap?

    Listen more carefully next time, the distinctive rattle indicates a few parts missing.

    He is, and I agree. But I do like his books. The Ender Wiggin saga is excellent reading. YMMV.

    Heinlein was a bit of a knob as well. You know, Biggus Dickus. But, I grok his writing.

    David Brin is still my favorite S.F. author, and good guy in real life.

    Note to admin/mods... you can move this to the Entertainment area, I screwed up.

    As you wish!

    BTW - your fingers seem to be stuck in a Chinese finger trap.
    QAnon / GOP Republicans mentally lack the necessary intelligence to even tell a decent lie (Ex: A cabal of Satanic, cannibalistic pedophiles run a global child sex trafficking ring and conspired against former President Dotard dRUMPf during his term in office... Jewish space lasers, etc.). What in the hell makes anyone believe these melon heads can actually govern?

    "Heinlein was a bit of a knob as well."
    Ultra right wing politics with ultra capitalist economic leanings... I'd say so.

    "You know, Biggus Dickus."
    That was Mel Brooks.

    In fact, it was Monty Python.

    It must have been the Roman Red wrapped in papyrus fogging my mind. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vQ7jHHC2bvg Those tire tracks are awfully wide for chariot wheels, must be the camera truck.

    Just finished seeing "Enders Game" at the theater.

    OMFG!

    Just go see it, even if you haven't read the book.
