wintermute_oregon , to Science Fiction in Robert Heinlein's form letter response to people who wrote to him

book vs person. Heinlen explored ideas.

and no, I have no read that one.

I think that it is unfair to say that about Heinlen that he was misogynistic. The women in his books were strong and capable. He may have been sexiest, but he wasn't misogynistic.

Another thing to note is in many of the books, he changes the point he is trying to make. He is an interesting author as he covers a vast number of topics.

I have to say his books make you think. I think he is under appreciated as an author.

People miss the point of Starship Troopers because of the movie. The book is nothing like the movie.

I did. I even cited it. Trump can't do what you are describing. It would be overruled.

Easy Trump says we are leaving NATO then he finds out he can't. So the united states stays in NATO.

I get Trump is the baba yaga to most people but congress was smart enough to cover their bases.

Be more clear in your point. I get you don't like Trump but what he said was true.

Now everyone is scurrying because he was right.

Hate the man as much as you want but at the end of the day, he was right.

You fight a war with the Army you have, not the one you can build in the next five years. Europe has not taken their defense seriously, and it isn't our job to spend our money to defend Europe. It is our job to help in their defense.

Putin was a wakeup call to Europe and hopefully they leaned you always need to be prepared for war.

So the commitment of the rest of NATO is fact, the US’s isn’t.
Well, if that is the way you feel, then the United States should just leave NATO. If having the largest Army in the world and saving Europe in two wars isn't proof of commitment, then we should just sit the next one out. It sounds like we are not wanted or needed.

I am not sure why people say that when Trump said, if they didn't honor their commitments, we would leave.

Since the invasion, most countries have finally stepped up to pair their obligation. Funny how Trump was right.

Airmen. He wasn’t a soldier.

wintermute_oregon , to World News in Irish prime minister concedes defeat in vote over constitutional amendments about family and women

I always find Ireland a little baffling. Woke companies are sending jobs there like crazy but they appear to be socially conservative.

Yet every Irish person I’ve met seemed fairly moderate.

Is the country really this openly socially conservative ?

I need to read more about this guy. Everything I’ve read has been all over the place.

Since you consider mayo and medical journals fake news. I’m blocking you.

wintermute_oregon , to No Stupid Questions in If we can ban trans medical procedures, why haven't we banned circumcision?

My ideas are cited science and facts. Go troll someone else.

wintermute_oregon , to No Stupid Questions in If we can ban trans medical procedures, why haven't we banned circumcision?

Nah I get it. People don’t like science.
