probably out of ignorance, rather than deliberate misdirection - you omitted the Asia-centricity of Mormonism, since, in addition to the Book of Mormon, they also believe the Bible to be true.
Out of irrelevance - you're talking nonsense. Christianity accepts the book of Exodus without being Africa-centric!
Educate me, where are most of the stories in the Book of Mormon set?
I could believe that a Troll would say that I suggested that he simply stated a fact, when I had made it very clear that he had distorted a simple fact into a Bad Thing.
Well then, if you concede that it is a fact (in your own words) that he is "too much an American" (rather than simply an American), then there's nothing to discuss - you've just given me the argument.
I'm sorry that my use of his religion as supporting evidence has touched a nerve, but you've offered nothing but support for my opinion that he will never consider this route. Bad and good are your words, I just think it's a missed opportunity...
Gabriel didn't bring our texts. Moroni guided Joseph Smith
Fine, I'm blushing having confused which angel is said to have been involved with the creation of the Qur'an, and which the Book of Mormon, but it hardly detracts from my point. The plates were both discovered on, and told stories about, North America, did they not?
First, professing some agreement with the GP to allay suspicion.
Actually I do agree - not just because of the ageing of the children, but also (as Card says himself in a postscript to 'Ender's Shadow') due to the need for such a number of talented child actors for live action, and due to the violence (for instance against Bonzo Madrid, as has been pointed out elsewhere).
Then asserting something that is obviously true (nationality), but giving it a little slant it to make it sound like a vice.
I didn't simply assert nationality, 'with a slant' or otherwise, I asserted that he is too much of an American to go with a Japanese style of movie. If you have trouble reading, perhaps you should leave the criticism to others.
Finally, he slips the true purpose of his post. A little misinformation to accompany the anti-religion prejudice
Ah, your own 'sting in the tail'. After a little deception, an outright lie with nothing to back it up. What 'misinformation'? I might well be prejudiced against his moronic religion, and its assertion that the Angel Gabriel visited the North American continent to hand over their founding texts, but where was I factually inaccurate, deliberately or otherwise?
Until you answer I must assume that you, my anonymous friend, are the troll.
If I were Orson Scott Card and I wanted to see Ender's Game done right, I'd flip Hollywood the bird and hop on a plane to the land of the rising sun.
I think what you're saying about anime is really insightful, but your final sentence might sum up the problem - Card is too much an American... I mean he even subscribes to an America-centric religion!
Given that I saw, using the free day pass, that this was a dupe before it was published, I was thinking - can't subscribers be given temporary veto over articles on preview?
Sure it's a potential for misuse, but stories are generally a day behind the other sites here anyway, and accounts could be revoked in the worst case...
Some potential subscribers might feel that they're been abused to do part of the editing process, but so many are bitching about paying for a site full of dupes at the moment that this would probably balance out...
Slashdot Mirror
Sorry, but it's a multiple of 3
Ah yes, now I finally see: an imageboard favourite. (Seriously, that domain just timed out at work...)

You'll never guess who posted this one though: http://slashdot.org/~*%20*%20Beatles-Beatles
(I've been modded down for stupid things today, I might as well troll and deserve it...)
I'd imagine all of these numbers with no factors make his head hurt...

Not only is this a dupe, but the horrid undisguised bias in this crappy new version has already been contradicted in previous comments...
Fair play, I meant "new largest non-Mersenne prime" - i.e. larger than SB8
I've seen a lot of people getting modded up, myself included, for criticising Slashdot this year, but to get modded down for defending it... !
Our comment numbers, 14297779 and 14298043, are also both prime...
No... that's not a prime number of digits.
It's definitely possible, and what's more they wouldn't know - they're only going for the easy pickings of Mersenne primes
Bah, show me a new non-Mersenne prime and I'll be impressed...
