They’d still have brought smallpox, even inadvertently.
The only way not to interfere with a culture is not to interact with it. And they never gave a shit on ST anyway, right?
NJ GOP Senate candidate says single women would vote Republican if they had a man.
Yeah, that Women’s Outreach program is cooking now!
–Twist of the Tool, a circa 1975 MIT student-made parody of Star Trek
Hmm, so the obvious thing for Repubs to do is to make marriage compulsory for women. I read an erotic romance some time ago called "His Slave, His Princess, Collared By The Billionaire Prince,"about the fictional land of Astoria set in present day Europe where when a woman turns 18 she can be enslaved by any man unless she ALREADY has a man who will marry (and enslave) her, but lovingly. Sort of a national kinky speed-dating thing. We must not allow Republicans to read this book, even though it is a pretty good read.
Alternatively, forbid single women to vote. One wedding ring, one vote!
His picture makes him look like Evil Orville Reddenbacher.
You know, like in the Star Trek “Mirror, Mirror” episode. Only without an evil goatee.
No need to say “evil” goatee. That’s repetitive and redundant.
Star Trek is a post scarcity world for the most part, at least in the Federation. It would never fly with Europeans.
There’s no need to repeat yourself over and over again.
The mirror-universe goatee-wearing version of Cartman in that one “South Park” episode was good and kind and thoughtful.
Hell, they already think The Handmaids Tale is a how to book.
If memory serves, the reason Brazilians speak Portuguese is because some Portuguese captain accidentally hit Brazil when he swung too far west on his way around Africa, just a few years after Columbus discovered America.
So, its like 50 Shades of Gor?
In Battle for the Planet of the Apes, the students are writing the Ape/Ape law down. Cornelius writes “Ape shall not kill Abe” and gives it to his teacher, Abe.
Hmm. Not a bad comparison. But it has little of the romanticization of violence, aggression and physical strength that’s present in the Gor novels. But, yeah … if I had to sum it up in a paragraph, that might be it. The author, Tonya Korval, is MUCH better at characterization than John Norman (not saying much, really) and stylistically a much better writer than E.D. James, but “His Princess, His Slave,” is still very much a romance, and fits into the traditional romance genre very nicely except for the explicit kinky sex scenes and the general Gor-ness of Asteria. But “50 Shades of Gor” is what I would go with if I had to do an elevator pitch for the book.
Hurrah, an update on the Palin brawl, now with police reports! A family full of assholes.
Best User name/Post combo I have seen.
Wow, what a stupid mess. I wonder if the guy is actually afraid to press charges.
Wow, 7 eyewitness accounts that corroborate the victim’s story but Bristol Palin isn’t being charged? WTF???
Came up with a name for the Palins. “Tundra Trash”. A quick Google search shows someone beat me to it. I swear it’s getting harder to have an original thought.
He wouldn’t press charges. He also showed remarkable restraint (or stupidity, depending on your point of view) in not hitting back or even ducking the first five punches. The bitch would have been down for the count after the first swing in my world.
