In Independence Day, we win the day by suicide bombing the alien ship. In Independence Day 2, we win the day by suicide bombing the queen's ship, then a coalition of alien planets put us in charge to teach them our suicide bombing ways. Roland Emmerich is pretty awesome.

Barf's people adopted Christianity on their own or b. Space Crusades brought Christianity to his people by the sword.

When scifi wants to show how progressive it is it'll have a variety of ethnic minorities accepted by the white majority, but the assumption that most people are white in some faraway galactic space future doesn't really make any particular sense

There were probably a poo poo load of Chinese people on the enterprise, but they probably spend their entire time in front of their computer either working or playing Starcraft.

Pththya-lyi posted:Dr. Bashir is supposed to be Indian, they just cast an Arab guy 'cause casting directors think all brown people look the same That's like saying that Sci-Fi doesn't include Jamaicans or Chileans. Pick your battles. If you have white people, black people, orientals/latino/aboriginal, and middle eastern, you can safely say you've covered them all.

nigga crab pollock posted:i dont get why 1984 has a rep for predicting anything its so much removed from reality that its easy to read it and disregard it as fantasy Equilibrium was an even more accurate representation of the future, what with all the constant drug use and gun violence. Seriously though I do agree that Huxley was closer than Orwell in terms of how things turned out.

There are no Arabs in sci-fi because the peoples of Carthage, Persia, Byzantium and Egypt rise up to take their homes back and destroy all traces of the Islamic Jihad having ever happened, leading to the era of peace and enlightenment in which we discover warp drive, obviously.

When on board a spaceship nearing speed of light, do you perform the 5 prayers according to ship time or to earth time?? Because if you stick to earth time you'd have to move pretty quick to get the prayers in... multiple prayers per minute! Also after returning from a voyage of a few years subjective time but centuries have passed... would you need to perform all the prayers and fasts that you missed while near light speed???????? What does the prophet have to say on this

Hogge Wild posted:and emos: “Homosexual” and “devil worshipping” hairstyles have been banned in Iran, alongside tattoos, sunbed treatments and plucked eyebrows for men, which are all deemed un-Islamic. The move – aimed at spiky cuts – follows a trend where, each summer, Iranian authorities get tough on men and women sporting clothing or hairdos seen as imitations of western lifestyles. In 2010, Iran banned ponytails, mullets and long, gelled hair for men, but allowed 1980s-style floppy fringes or quiffs. Good
