Who mistakes a skinhead bar for a gay bar?

Depends on the type of skinhead. If they were also bikers, I could see a case being made for confusion by all the leather

If you want to avoid Heinlein's free love phase, don't read Stranger in a Strange Land. It's very good, but also very 60s hippie with regards to sexuality.

I'd recommend The Moon is a Harsh Mistress.

I'd love to recommend some more, but these 3 are the only Heinlein I've read so far

two major ethnicities

one of which comprises 70-90% of the population

Did you even read the wiki article you linked bro? No wonder you look like such a fool all the time

Yeah, thanks for quoting that.

I probably should've put that in my comment for those who are too lazy to read the article, but I'm just so blown away by the audacity of it all. And you know there will be no consequences

I'm honestly speechless. This has probably been the most damning, "we don't have a country any longer" thing I've seen. I just...

I'm going to delete Minecraft, nothing I say should be taken as a joke

Remember kids, your conspiracies aren't real, but it's a good thing that they're happening

Women will not date men bellow them

Explain all the single mothers who paid the coal toll then. We all know it's the men that left those relationships and not the other way around

Biblically accurate angels are metal af though. Pulling the South Park scientology shtick would backfire

How exactly does school staff prevent people from wearing colors to a football game? Are the kids too stupid to "unofficially" spread the word?

Glad to see color blindness is still working out just peachy

Who gives a fuck about climate? I just want to pay literal pennies for electricity. Nuclear is the closest thing we have to free energy

Given that it's "Miss" Ireland, being male would've increased it's chances at winning

A) why the fuck are you still on plebbit

B) can we stop with the "what if muh other side did it". Nobody gives a shit, least of all the people stomping on your face

Other than the tax, nothing seems too far-fetched. Of course, that's me still operating under the naive assumption that we have any semblance of laws and checks and balances in this country. I'm fairly sure a tax cannot be instituted via EO. Other listed items would definitely attempt to make it to court

I enjoyed the bookending with Johnnie becoming The Lieutenant of the Roughnecks. Ends the exact same way it begins, with nearly identical dialogue. Wondered about the change to it being Rico's Roughnecks, after the staunch refusal to change the name prior. Is that just Jelal not having the confidence in himself to accept leadership over the group, despite rising in rank by the time Johnnie gets back? Or do Jelal's motivations not matter at all and this was more of a contrivance by Heinlein to give our protagonist extra growth?

The description of how the federation came about seems plausible, especially in light of the recent withdrawal from Afghanistan.

Veterans, people who know how to execute violence, fed up with lawlessness just create law unto themselves. And then it spreads. I could see it happening, but it likely won't be that simple

The entirety of the passage leading to "gradually I began to hate them" is very poignant in light of the tactics used openly by media today

Good to hear, I suppose. Not the biggest power metal fan, but a founding member being forced out of his own band as they continue to use the name would be absurd to me.
