Comment on Ideas About Sex (From Countries W/out Hopelessly Provincial Ideas About Sex) by Jayinee

While I do think that consensual sex is a right and that prostitution should be legalized and regulated, I think it’s important to note that countries that legalize prostitution tend to see an increase in trafficking. This is undoubtedly due to poor national as well as international regulations. But it also says something about the massive global system we’d need to build in order for ethical prostitution to exist.

Yo what’s with the bias for old SF? Everything Gene Wolfe has written is better than anything L. Ron ever wrote. The Book of the New Sun is like the best series ever. Note you need an OED.

I am right there with you on the “figuring it out” statement. The energy of humanity has more positivity than negativity, otherwise we’d have already completely destroyed our planet. I guess I am an optimist!

Comment on Man of Letters: Ernest Hemingway by Star

I think you’re somewhat unfair to Hemingway, in choice of parody topic matter — Hemingway’s style is best for painful topics like war, which was what he actually wrote about.. whereas that christmas poem is emotionally devoid saccharine nonsense, obviously not at all improved by staccato delivery.

The reindeer, on the other hand, are a way more interesting part of this post. Do you know the insanely wacky backstory for why reindeer are part of the US Christmas Legend at all? Check out my blog post on this http://starburst.hackerfriendly.com/?p=1414
tl;dr: capitalism, marketing, disenfranchising native americans (literally).

(PS I believe it’s Donner but I didn’t grow up with Christmas stories)
