On occasion you say things that make you come off as wanting to be unique. And no your opinion on TFA isn’t one of them.

I guess I can’t deny that. The main point is that I had no idea how much universal acclaim and belovedness the film had before that conversation. (I don’t think I’ve ever particularly cared about its .)

Have you never talked with someone about Toy Story 2 before? You’re the only person I have ever met that has not liked it.

I don’t think I’ve really ever talked to anyone about it outside of my family (in which I don’t think anyone considers more than sub-par). I may have had a short conversation about it with a friend once (when watching the first film on television), but I can’t remember if we talked about the sequels.

LuckyGungen gave a score that I found unreasonably high, and it seemed to me that he was most likely pulling his love for it completely out of blind nostalgia (not to offend or insult your taste, LuckyGungen).

I don’t like the film and I wasn’t being a cynical contrarian with my statements.

Well you called it a “cash grab sequel” because reasons which fits the cynical aspect and you dislike a film (including Rambo) most like which fills the contrarian part.

1. Rambo: First Blood Part II has a 30% on RT. I’d hardly consider that a film “most people like”. And I do love First Blood.

2. All of my statements were made on the basis of my opinion of the film. Simply having an opinion in the general minority doesn’t make me a contrarian if I wasn’t stating that differing opinion to be unique in the crowd.

And before you say anything I can be considered somewhat of a contrarian as well with some of my opinions but I think it’s the way in which you present your point of view. In your case I couldn’t shake off the feeling that you were perhaps trying a bit to hard considering it’s a kids film and not something like The Godfather.

I maybe stated my opinion harshly with the “crappy” part. But like I said before, a kids film being a kids film doesn’t automatically grant forgiveness for it being annoying and void of feeling (in my opinion, of course).

😛

EDIT: Crap! I misspelled it twice 😛.

And yes being cynical isn’t exactly new but this whole cynical contrarian thing is something that has come about in the last few years and has been played out for at least 3 years.

I guess I can’t deny that. The main point is that I had no idea how much universal acclaim and belovedness the film had before that conversation. (I don’t think I’ve ever particularly cared about its .)

LuckyGungen gave a score that I found unreasonably high, and it seemed to me that he was most likely pulling his love for it completely out of blind nostalgia (not to offend or insult your taste, LuckyGungen).

I don’t like the film and I wasn’t being a cynical contrarian with my statements.

Lastly, your PT analogy doesn’t stick because Toy Story 2 is liked by most while most people don’t like or are indifferent to the PT.

Meh.

Sounds better than my basement. It’s unfinished and has some cat poo on the floor (nobody wanted to clean it up as of yet 😛).

I still want kids movies to be intelligently made. (Like the first one.)
I’ll forgive some things for being kids movies, but Toy Story 2 was just a crappy cash-in sequel.

Calling a beloved movie (100% approval rating on RT at one point) you happen to dislike a “crappy cash-in sequel” reeks of pretentiousness.

We should be used to it by now…being super cynical is the new hot shit right now.

It sure is.

Even if it is “the new hot shit right now”, why should my opinion be seen as following trends and bandwagoning? Am I not allowed to display a differing opinion? You sound like the PT fanboys who claim making fun of the PT is “the in thing”.

(Also, people being cynical isn’t new.)

That sentence was an opinionated statement.

Agreed.

Guys! Let’s not be like Christians! Let’s all be friends. Peace for the world and watermelons for the living!

In addition to Frink’s remark, what you say here is pretty much what most real Christians want (when taking out the religious aspect of course).

Towne32, are you going to use the SE crawl like before, or are you going to try and get the '81 crawl from Darth Lucas that he says he’ll be done with soon (or he maybe already is)?

^I don’t think it was very imperialscummy. He was responding to a rude comment posted by someone with whom the situation obviously didn’t concern.

Some friends of mine work at a local Culver’s. Never gone there myself.

Like I said, I don’t remember what he said, that was my own terminology. It was the first way of describing it that came to my mind.

Oh, did I say “all of them” in my post?

*takes a look*

Dek Rollins said:

As was mentioned by others here, every single one of those was from the old law, which nolonger applies after the birth and death of Christ.

Oh, oops 😛.

EDIT: I think I must have overlooked that because I had been jumbling my mind when I couldn’t remember certain passages 😛.

My youth pastor has actually spoken about his experiences with praying over homo/trans/bi -sexuals and “freeing” them of their demons.

Your pastor is a charlatan.

I don’t remember if he used the terminology I did here (and I think I did a pour job of saying that, now that I think of it), but how can you claim he has never seen a person with a “different” sexual preference change their mindset after prayer? Believe me, I know this man, he is no fraud. He claims nothing of himself that is fraudulent.

Lord Haseo said:

Then why include the OT at all if it’s pretty much retconned?

It’s historical text of great importance, and the old law isn’t the only thing that’s in there. God still works amazing things in those peoples lives and their stories held in those books have great power. Also, if you’re unaware, Gideons pocket Bibles for spreading the gospel are just New Testament + Proverbs and Psalms.

Also LOL; that sentence in Star Wars context would be sacrilege!

I don’t think a homosexual can effectively worship the intolerant God that I believe in.

Fixed.

We are talking about the Bible, and therefor the Christian God. No condescending specificity is necessary in my post. Being homosexual is sinful. My youth pastor has actually spoken about his experiences with praying over homo/trans/bi -sexuals and “freeing” them of their demons. I know you don’t see eye to eye with Christian views, but this “fix” wasn’t even clever or note-worthy.

I’m not sure what passages you’re speaking of, so I don’t know how many ways the text can be interpreted. (Also, about your parentheses, I don’t think a homosexual can effectively worship God.)

If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them. -
Leviticus 20:13

a raped virgin must marry her rapist

Well, I don’t recall it saying that in those terms, but people aren’t supposed to have sexual relation before marriage, and if that is committed, the parties are supposed to get married.

If a man happens to meet a virgin who is not pledged to be married and rapes her and they are discovered, he shall pay her father fifty shekels[a] of silver. He must marry the young woman, for he has violated her. He can never divorce her as long as he lives. - Deuteronomy 22:28-29

and a woman should not have authority over a man

“I’m not sure what passages you’re speaking of…”

I do not permit a woman to teach or to assume authority over a man;[a] she must be quiet. - Timothy 2:12

how could I not hate it?

I have morals; that’s how. Not saying you don’t but the people who wrote these things had none or at least had a warped view of morality.

As was mentioned by others here, every single one of those was from the old law, which nolonger applies after the birth and death of Christ.

Also, the pic wasn’t me asking you to answer your own question 😉.

Four fast food restaurants better than McDonalds:

FTFY

That being said, McDonalds’ fries are still pretty good.

I guess. I think some of the best fries I’ve had were from a Village Inn restaurant (especially sprinkled with pepper), but the burger I had them with was kind of gross.

You actively hate the Bible?

Yes, when it has things passages saying to kill homosexuals (and pretty much everyone else who isn’t a straight worshiper of Yahweh),

I’m not sure what passages you’re speaking of, so I don’t know how many ways the text can be interpreted. (Also, about your parentheses, I don’t think a homosexual can effectively worship God.)

This is not true, it simply says that it’s a sin to marry the same sex. Just as it is a sin to have pre-marital sex.

I know this, but I wasn’t sure if he was speaking of a specific passage that I wasn’t remembering.

a raped virgin must marry her rapist

Well, I don’t recall it saying that in those terms, but people aren’t supposed to have sexual relation before marriage, and if that is committed, the parties are supposed to get married.

No, the context of this was that when a woman is raped she becomes an outcast. The rapist was told to marry her and care for her because he made her undesirable. Marrying her was pretty much what he had to pay for raping her.

Ah, thanks for clarification. I didn’t remember that right away, so I thought he was referencing something else.

and a woman should not have authority over a man

“I’m not sure what passages you’re speaking of…”

I know what he’s talking about but it gets pretty complicated, I recommend actually doing some research.

Do you remember what book/chapter he’s referencing? Or will I need to do some more looking up (hence “doing some research”)?

Thanks for replying, Smithers, since you seem to have a better memory of what he’s talking about (and I’m sure more knowledge about the suject in general) than I do. 😄

Damn all those progressive/liberal Christians for not fitting this conceited notion!

This very sentence proves that you believe in Hell! 😉

“I’m not sure what passages you’re speaking of…”

The things you speak of are not passages that I strictly remember, and I know how people can read pieces of the Bible (mainly from the old testament) and either refuse to follow a further contradiction, or completely misinterpret them.
