Ender's Game

By Anonymous -
My friend Alex read this book recently and now I'm reading it, and it's fucking awesome, and it's going to be a fucking awesome movie in 2006, directed by Wolfgang Peterson.

I'm only up to the fifth chapter (just started yesterday), but it's clear that The Matrix is not so original afterall. *rollseyes*

    Ender's Game is the best in the series.

    Anyway, you should come with my coolguy club to see John (Freedomtickler) play. It'd be a hell of a lot better than catching up on ancient sci-fi that most people read when they were 13 and were too fat/pimpley/ugly to date. :P

    Also, your tables are fucked up on this page. Remedy this.

    I'm not sure how you drew parallels from The Matrix to Ender's Game. Yes, the government is controlling and somewhat shady, but no one is "jacked in." The Matrix still isn't an original idea, though. Most of it is based off of Descartes' writings.

    It's only like the matrix in that Ender is referred to as "the one", like Neo was.

    Harry Potter, in that it's about kids at some school.

    Both are loose comparisons, I'll concede that.

Reverse Racism is still Racism.

This text has been floating around MySpace and probably the entire Internet, I've seen it here and there, but I guess it's my turn to share it. There's some epithets, but there's actually a really good point behind it: reverse racism is still racism. You call me "Cracker", "Honkey", "Whitey", "Casper" and you think it's OK. But if I call you nigger, towelhead, sand-nigger, camel jockey, beaner, wetback, saltwater nigger, gook, or chink it's not ok because you call me a racist. You say that whites commit a lot of violence against you, so why are the ghettos the most dangerous places to live? You have the United Negro College Fund. You have Martin Luther King Day. You have Black History Month. You have Cesar Chavez Day. You have Yom Hashoah You have Ma'uled Al-Nabi You have the NAACP. You have BET. If we had WET(white entertainment television) we'd be racists. If we had a White Pride Day you would call us racists. If
