I thought you were kidding about the buggers, CP3S. Maybe you are.
Jesus wept! I also thought it was a satirical joke from mr CP3S. But no, I just looked it up and the Alien's in Card's 'Ender's Game' are really called "Buggers".
Oh no! Bug-like aliens are actually called "Buggers"! See my above post please :)
I did feel really angry about the guy but after his recent article saying...
Obama wants to be like Hitler and reign over America forever by controlling the country using armed young black street gangs as his new fascist police force...
I've never read the story, but it not a statement, but rather a political fictional short story.

...I just thought this guy isn't merely wrong and deluded, he's actually insane and needs medical help. He's systematically destroying his own career by choice but I do feel a bit sorry for the people like Harrison in the film who are watching it all crumble around them before it even hits the boxoffice.
His views are not uncommon. Just because I don't agree with all his views doesn't mean I am in favor of gay marriage. But just because I am against it doesn't mean I am a bigot or that I hate anyone because of their sexual preferences. I have said several times elsewhere in this forum that I have several dear friends who are gay. He is outspoken on his views, and I think he is ignorant on the topic and wrong, but I don't believe he is hateful. I've heard quite a few nasty and bigoted opinions towards my religion and Christianity in general by prominent folks that never earn such a boycott.
