But what are your thoughts on homosex?
Sci-fi writer John C. Wright does not approve of the Sci-Fi channel's apparent pandering to the "homosex" crowd.

The head of Sci-Fi channel has contritely promised to include more homosex in future shows, and to do it nonchalantly, just as if this abomination is normal and natural and worthy of no comment. The shows will not actually come out and say sexual perversion has no bad side effects. They won't actually lie and tell you homosex won't destroy your life. But they will imply the lie. They will play along.

Homosex. It's almost kind of catchy!

I'd like someone, anyone, to explain to me how my culture reached a position where a public entertainment company can be criticized for failing to contribute to the moral decay of the land, and that the criticism would be taken seriously, and the company would cringe and promise to do better.

Someone explain to me by what series of events persons with serious sexual-psychological malfunctions would somehow be awarded the status of moral arbiters, something like priests and confessors and sages -- except that the passkey to being a guardian of public conscience in our age is the absence of moral value, not the presence.


Explain they do. As soon as the post is referenced in a MetaQuote, the dissenters are off to reply to Mr. Wright. The initial reaction is small, but promising. Most responses are rational and non-inflammatory. Others are quite succinct and curt. A number of users coming in presumably through MetaQuotes announce Mr. Wright's loss of a potential customer, as long as Mr. Wright does indeed use their filthy, filthy Leftist dollars.

Come, my liberal leftist comrades! You openly boast of your superior intellectual power and more profound moral sobriety than we mere working Joes of flyover country (including working Joes like me with a doctorate in law who works in DC). You have anointed yourselves our superiors: that means you are smart enough to explain it. By what logic is the sole and single standard of virtue in your world view an absolute devotion to vice? By what logic is the sole and single sin the sin of having standards of virtue, what you call being intolerant?

'dem sure be fancy words.

Who is this guy, other than some douche? The Google gives me no indication that I should care.

No idea, but someone just added to his Wiki entry!

At the age of 42, Wright converted from atheism to Christianity. In 2008 he converted to the Roman Catholic Church of which he approvingly stated "If Vulcans had a church, they'd be Catholics." He is now a batshit crazy homophobe, whose rantings can be found on livejournal

... I'm a little confused about how a species that seems to be defined by a love of logic would follow a religious book riddled with logical inconsistencies, but OKAY!

yeah, I think their reaction would sort of be like River's from Firefly. Except, you know, they'd sound like Vulcans.

I totally read that as "If the Vatican had a church..." etc. Which, you know, was confusing. And yet, upon reflection, it still makes more sense that way.

You may have seen his paperbacks on remainder piles throughout the English-speaking world.

I tried reading Children of Chaos, and it was like reading laundry detergent. Not the box - the detergent.

Wow. I don't know what to say.

After reading the reviews that hated it, I can't believe people LIKED it. Well to each their own, I guess.

Dude, Felicia Day even checked in on it.

AHAHAHAHAHAH

My friend was talking about that book a while back...he said it had some interesting ideas but kept getting derailed into random bondage.

I never connected that book with THAT John C Wright.
