Wow. Just, wow.
I am so glad I'm not your son.

Ah, here we go with the offense being against, not some sort of basic right and wrong, but merely 'my taste'. Which of course makes it a matter of opinion and we all know what those are like, don't we? And (of course) it also follows that, this being a matter of my 'taste', there really isn't anything objectionable about the topic, something reasonable to air, something I might want to have reality-checked. It's just me being me. And where do I come off being that in a public forum?

You might as well apply the same logic to your reply above; if you disagree so strongly, simply skip over this thread and don't post a reply. But of course, you didn't. Not much into internal consistency, are you?
Oh, and go look up crusade. Throwing it around like that, one might guess you knew what it meant. What's next, 'Nazi"?

Doesn't work in the world I live in. We're supposed to care about the main characters and wring our hands along with the author when (horrors!) 'species-ism' rears its ugly head. Never mind that there ARE no separate species when they all can interbreed! No, it's that Bill wants to eat his cake and have it, too. We must care about his main characters, but ignore the fact that the deer talk, the insects talk; in fact, every creature is rational. And there is nothing but regret when murder occurs, if even that. Most of it is played off for laughs.

It struck me like the discussions that say that George Lucas is a bad science teacher because in Star Wars it portrays sound in space.
