On the other hand, there was Auntie Mame.
The “?” candle is obviously for a gender reveal party.

A lot of Americans went crazy after the US lost the war in Vietnam. Ronald Reagan offered them a return to a happier time, when everything made sense.

One part of it is the English conquering 75% of the planet and putting their teachers in every classroom.

You’re funny.
What exactly do you think I misunderstand?
We all agree it’s a fantasy TV show, being shown on commercial networks in order to sell advertising.
My take is that as adults people should understand that the show is a fantasy and is meant for light entertainment purposes.
But you were so shocked and offended by the depiction of the police that you caught a case of the vapors.

Puerto Rico is part of the United States.
Someone born in PR can move anywhere else in the USA without a passport. Any US citizen can travel there as easily as going to another State.

The book ‘Starship Troopers’ is a lot different from the movie.
In the book the Bugs have space ships and other tech, so it’s obvious that their leadership in intelligent. The question is whether the soldiers in the field are thinking for themselves or just genetically programmed to fight.
The narrator opines that if the Bug can kill you, that makes it smarter than you.
