Twilight, Harry Potter, these are the literary equivalent of a Twinkie. Empty calories that do more harm than good when consumed.

It's a shame to even tangentially associate them with a masterwork like Ender's Game.

So sorry mr. gore, but if it's my arse versus the planet, I'm going to have to go with my arse. The planet will just have to make due.

You soft headed little gits can spew all the eco-agitprop you want, but keep your d@mned grubby hands off my toilet paper, climate controls and food stuffs. I'm not interested in being proselyted by a bunch of gaia worshiping Ecohovah's Witnesses.

Drunk bear, heading home to the wife after a night out with the boys at a strip cave stumbles across the camp.

He sees this knockout she-bear sleeping alone and being drunk and a little excited from the bar decides he's going to introduce himself to her...

The rest, well, it's not pretty...

I wonder how this "armor" would react to a shotgun blast?

If it tried to calculate every trajectory for every pellet and activate muscles to twitch you out of the way of each one, you might end up being folded into an origami swan.

This is a great idea, but not for some of the reasons people will attach to it.

Not for the "over consumption" or the "green" aspects, but simply because when we over complicate our lives with possessions, we end up tied to those things and essentially lose our freedom to move at will because of the ton of baggage we have to drag behind us.

If you can limit what owns you, you become free to experience more of what life has to offer.

Now that might actually be worth seeing.

Whoa bean, so very deep. Wrong and terribly misguided, but deep.

Maybe, instead of trying to demean me and attempt to dismiss my statement by making outrageous, unbased and downright foolish claims concerning my mental health, you should work on actual debate technique.

The Ad hominem attack is the refuge of the sloppy thinker.

If you truly believe mass culling of humanity is the answer to saving the planet, then why haven't you had the courage to follow that path to it's logical conclusion? You and those of your mindset about overpopulation should be leading by example if you truly believe mankind to be such a horrible plague on the face of mother earth.

While you're listing creatures to be defended, why not put human babies on there?

Most of the hypocrites who wail and gnash teeth over a seal being killed for a pair of slippers won't bat an eye over the wholesale slaughter of the unborn.

It's just a bit wrong imo.

If there was a program that provided a one way ticket to Mars (or anywhere else for that matter) and the necessary equipment to make an honest attempt at survival, I'd jump at it.

It would be nice to bed down beneath unknown stars just once in my life.

He's in good company with Arafat, Kofi Annan, Jimmy Carter...

A terrorist, a thug and a fool, AlGore will fit right in with his spiritual brothers.
