Well, much of it did appear for the first time in the Boy Scout magazine "Boy's Life", after all.
I remember Isaac Asimov talking about being criticized for NOT putting any ‘sex’ in his sci-fi novels, circa 1970’s.
He said it wasn’t necessary to the stories, and didn’t like to write about it....................
And yet we tolerate the intolerant.
Note to self: Don’t bring phone or computer when traveling in Muslim countries.
It's easy to miss, because it has nothing to do with the plot.
“A mob of an estimated 3,000 Islamic extremists in Pakistan reportedly called for the beheading of a 17-year-old Christian”
Another example: The shaming of Christians by the Socialist Left and the MSM in America.
To all Mohammedans: Mohammed was a faggot, a thief, and a pedofile. He was no prophet, but a lying woman. The reason they never show his face is because he could not grow a moustache or beard. Come and get me, dog humpers.
Lord, please save this believer from this shithole civilization!
A joke, from the 1980s, as told by the then English cricket team visiting Pakistan (cricket is popular in Pakistan as it is in England):
There was once a competition held.
The first prize: a one week all expenses paid trip to Pakistan.
The second prize: a two week all expenses paid trip to Pakistan.
He said it wasn’t necessary to the stories, and didn’t like to write about it....................
Asimov's stories were excellent. Nothing of value was lost by not including sex.
I had a dear friend, now deceased, whose niece married a Pakistani. He and his family left there over 25 years ago. They are Christians and could see what western liberals cannot see. You cannot exist in these countries unless you express fidelity to Islam and a totalitarian state with Sharia law.
It's easy to miss, because it has nothing to do with the plot.
I'm not sure if I read "Tunnel in the Sky", but I might have. It's been a long time since i've read any Heinlein. Having the Character be black is fine, so long as people aren't trying to make some kind of social statement to "teach" us how racist we are.
I recall an episode of "Deep Space Nine" where Sisko plays the character of a 1950s era science fiction writer, and of course the whole plot turns into a social justice warrior "why are we so racist" screed.
If I want to be preached at, I'll go to church. When I watch or read Science Fiction, I want to engage in escapism.
It was those Russians
Amen
My daughter asked me what life will be like 50 years from now. THIS could be it, if we are not careful.
Need a lynch mob of 3,000 fanatical Muz with nothing better to do than behead Christians? Visit Pakistan.
