    The website is still there. I know nothing else about that issue.

    Either way, they are quotes so if you don't like Salon surely you can find them elsewhere.

    I am sure he will get a percentage, if he is not also pants on head stupid he will get a percentage of the gross. Since no movie ever made money according to hollywood.

    How so?

    I am not encouraging the use of Law against him or people like him. That is what he does. I am only suggesting people not give him money. I am not suggesting we overthrow the government to prevent him from doing what he likes, again he advocated that.

    You can't see how that is not as bigoted?
    I tolerate him, I hope he gets better, but I don't want to give him my money.

    Probably true. I just meant to point out why I said that.

    Go get a polisci book, read it before you post again.

    Right and Left have not a thing to do with authoritarianism.

    The National Socialist Party is about as accurate a name as the Democratic People's Republic of Korea.

    I meant to say the force of law. I am not accusing Mr.Card of using the force to strangle homosexuals or government officials.

    The man is a bigot, and I see no need to do anything with/for him besides tolerating him to the barest degree.

    No I mean someone who wants to use the force against a group of people who are not harming him in anyway.

    The simple rational thought here is that gays getting married do not impact him one bit, so he should be quiet about it.

    That kind of crazy makes me think "the lady doth protest too much".

    Being tolerant does not mean seeing his movie. It simply means tolerating it being there.

    He asked the question because he wants to deflect away from his own intolerance. I suggest he compromise, he simply apologize for being a hateful jerkwad then promise to stop being one and they go see the movie.

    We both know he won't do that. He wants to be a bigot and somehow believes he can force people to be tolerant of such intolerance. Being tolerant is not a binary thing, I am tolerant of a great many things and not tolerant of others. We all draw that line somewhere, for some it would be violence or stupidity or bigots like Mr.Card.

    You can declare a national park any place you want. Preventing access to others is another thing.

    In this case if a private company tries to steal this stuff you can either prosecute or declare the Apollo 11 Site has become the Lunar Atomic Range. I doubt anyone would risk a swift nuking to steal some artifacts.

    The same way all international agreements are held, with threat of sanction and war.

    Theft of those relics would be prosecuted just like any other crime.

    I am well aware of this and agree with you.

    We already socialize the cost of the most expensive participants, so we might as well go whole hog. This half measure just moves the costs to society and the profit to private companies.

    None of those things are like handing a bigot money.

    I don't have to buy Jefferson a slave to read his works, I don't have to pay an artist to see his work in a museum. I do have to give Card money to see his film, he will use that money against people who I like.

  15. Re:Really?!? on Orson Scott Card Pleads 'Tolerance' For Ender's Game Movie · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Sure, and tolerance he can have. Tolerance does not mean putting money in his pocket. Not going to see his movie is not being intolerant. It is simply choosing to see another movie and tolerating others seeing that one.

    Disney and Ford are dead. When Card dies this issue will go away unless his children are hateful bigots as well.

    Why not quit to minimize your healthcare costs?

    Sure lifetime will be higher, but by the time you are old Medicare will be paying for your healthcare bills. Private insurance wants to fine smokers since they get those kinds of diseases before they qualify for medicare.

    What is wrong with everyone quitting?

    I used to smoke, don't care if you do, but ideally everyone would quit. It is a nasty habit and a shitty way to consume nicotine.

    Actually this is the government limiting what the insurance companies can do. They are the ones who want to charge smokers more.
