Star Ship Troopers wasn't about fascism...

[Politico]

The book is about militarism and the glorification of the military.

It is not fascistic.

Along with obvious NAZI like leanings.

What way do you mean this....it can't be about the book...since nazi is the farthest you can get from this book...

The Starship Troopers movie is one of my earliest memories of seeing titties. Thank you Starship Troopers movie. Thank you.

That is all carry on!

 

[Mr. H.]

The only reason I went to see that movie is because of this...

 

[Uncensored2008]

Only history, sociology, law, military and ancient studies...

Right, I believe you.....

Your avie shows what an intellectual you are...

Really?

My first titties were in the Godfather - in 1973...

I was very disappointed in Starship Troopers as a movie, I began to question if the director had even read the book.

I'd love to have Peter Jackson redo it, and do it right.

No. I never read the book. I'm not much of a fiction reader..

I suspect you're not much of a reader of any sort...

Only history, sociology, law, military and ancient studies...

Yea right, your posts on here sooo reflect that

Your question is immaterial, but you can read the work if you wish then respond to me. You have read it, you know my point is so, and so, once again, QWB, you will have to step along smartly.

Billc, the book inspired me to join the infantry as well.

I have read the book, which is why I know you haven't, or you wouldn't have made such an absurd claim about what it is about.

 

[JakeStarkey]

QWB, the only absurdity is your comment. Disagree all you want, just don't be mental about it.

Go read it again.

Mea culpa. I meant, yet, I meant to say it has fascistic elements. You are right and I am wrong on this one.

 

[JakeStarkey]

The continual private and public sector economic partnering in America (Utah's UTA, for instance) is fascistic.

This is the first time I actually miss the pos rep feature. It is always heartening to see anyone admit they screwed up, and I won't hold your mistake against you.

Peter Verhoeven is the shit.

That movie was hilarious.

 

[Sallow]

i thought it was about the never ending battle between humans and bugs??

Dude...you need to NOT read the Ender Wiggin series while stoned.

Another crappy book made into a good movie.

Come on Shallow, you never successfully finished "See Spot run." You've never read a book in your life.

I said leanings. The uniforms, symbols and power structure described in the book were translated to the screen.
