If you need to B*tch about something... this is the place

But they don't print them without punctuation and spacing anymore. :(

 That's true.  I had to go online to find the text as it was written in Latin when I wanted to get used to it.  Then my computer crashed and I lost all the links I had bookmarked and I can't be bothered to look for them again.  Does that make me unlucky or just lazy?

^That's sounds much like Classical Latin, which had no spaces and fewer letters on top of all that. It also reminds me of Newspeak, or whatever that language in 1984 is called.

 Yeah as someone who has studied Latin I can say that is exactly what it sounds like.

Give your dad a book written in Latin and tell him that is what he is asking for and see if he can make heads or tails out of it.

In March 2013, Emmerich stated that the titles of the new films would be ID Forever Part I and ID Forever Part II.[87] The films will take place twenty years after the original, when reinforcements of the original alien race arrive at Earth after finally receiving a distress call.

But look on the bright side -- you could always use the material to make A Ridiculous Independence trilogy. ;-)

 Also he was given a choice between doing these and make a trilogy based on Foundation and he choose to make these and now Foundation is being made as a series by HBO.

I will gladly put up with these movies coming out and being hits if it keeps him away from one of my favorite book series of all time.

You need help.

 I didn't say it was offensive I just said that I found it odd.

Let me explain when I worked at Wal-Mart they were so scared of offending people that we were not allowed to use the word Christmas for any reason while in the store.  I just find it funny that the company that was that scared of making people angry put out that add.

Does that explain it now?

I just watched the official trailer for Jurassic World, the upcoming third sequel to Jurassic Park.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RFinNxS5KN4

Aside from the ugly "teal-and-orange" shit, I thought it looked alright at first. Then I heard the words "genetically modified hybrid".

*sigh*

I wonder if the next sequel will be Jurassic Station: Dinos in Space!

 I think Doctor who beat them to it.

Joking aside that is a movie I may have taken some interest in since it would be so bad it is good. So far all the sequels have been so bad they are painful. As far as I am concerned there is only one Jurassic Park movie.

My commiserations. Not having a tongue or eyelids must be a bitch.

 I should have said normally see or are aware of since we not seem to notice those features.  Then again I did say "on our faces" and eyelashes are part of the eyes and the tongue can only be seen if we stick it out and is not on the face.

I apologize for the confusion.

Editing a user's post so people can not judge them for themselves in context but then complaining about other people finding your post offensive is by it's very definition throwing your weight around.

I cited a historical example of how just because some belongs to a racial group doesn't mean that they have the best interest of that group in their minds or they even like the group. People can't control who they are when they are born. It was a historic example and the fact that it involved Nazis means nothing.  I could make the same point by pointing out that on plantations in the American South certain slaves where trusted to watch over slaves and keep them from escaping, that is why such a large portion of the white population was able to leave and devote themselves full time to the war effort. If we are not allowed to bring historical fact into this then what are we allowed to cite as example and proof of human nature.  If bringing up Nazis or the slave culture of the South for any reason is not allowed then we can also not talk about the evil of those two movements. Do we really want to leaving in that world?  We can not and should not pick and choose what lessons we learn from the past. if we want to be better in the future then we have to study all the facts and listen to all the lessons they can teach us not just about the events but about human nature in general.  If we don't then we are committing the real crime by refusing to honor the dead and learn from them. History is as much about examining your own soul as it is about examining the events of the past.

If you can't look beyond your own nose

 Now who's being offensive to Jewish people?

 So, I wasn't the one taking offense and how is that a Jewish stereotype.

It's a saying.  When someone is being short sighted we say that they can't look beyond their own nose because as humans our nose is the only feature on our faces we can see without a mirror. It means you are not willing to look beyond yourself.

Good night, now I am having to give you lectures on how basic English works.

You really are the stereotypical dumb bully who just pushes people around because that is all he is good at.  This is just getting sad.

So what, there were Jews who betrayed their own kind to the Nazis and you still haven't answered the question as to what give you the right to make fun of other people and no one else has that right?

What makes you so divine that you are so sure your views are the one and only absolute right and everyone who doesn't agree with you has to be evil and deserves to be censored.

If your saying that someone else's post offends you is a good enough reason for it to be censored unless you are saying you are better then every other person on earth then if someone says your post offends them then that should be a good enough reason for your post to be censored.  if you see yourself as better then other people you shouldn't be enforcing the rules.

That is nothing more then a point of simple logic in favor of fair play.

Unless of course you are admitting that this forum has no rules beyond your own will and you are forcing everyone to agree with you. In which case you can't make any arguments in favor of free speech just in favor of you staying in power. Still remember that at some point you could be out of power and when that day comes then you can't complain if the people in power treat you the same way you have treat other people when you were in power.

Either all offensive speech has to be banned or none can.

Did anyone who is gay even say they were offended by the no homo comment?  Because if they did you have not mentioned it, it seems like you took offense for them as an excuse to throw your weight around and make sure everyone here understands that you are lord and master and no one can question you.

You are a bully, nothing more.  Don't try to hide behind some noble ideal. You enjoy using power for it's own sake and seeing people forced to bend to your will. Don't insult any of us by expecting us to believe that it is anything beyond that.

The Brass Teapot (2012)

Surprisingly fun movie about a teapot that dispenses cash in exchange for pain. Apparently reviews are pretty poor (26% rating on RT per Wiki) but I enjoyed it, even if it was a bit formulaic and predictable. Fun/random supporting roles by Rory from Gilmore Girls, Maeby from Arrested Development, Mike Yanagita from Fargo, and a guy who I swore was Seth Meyers but apparently wasn't. But the most surprising bit of casting was the male lead, Michael Angarano, who it turns out was one of the finalists for little Anakin Skywalker. Just more proof that George made the wrong call. *sigh*

Six Hasidic Jews out of eight.

 You are making fun of them in this comment and that is as much a slur as no homo.

How come it's okay to make fun of jewish people but not gays.  I guess because you like gays but hate the jews so everyone has to agree with you and you will use your power as a mod to force everyone to agree with your hate speech.

So anyone who isn't gay and says so is slurring gays?

So every single person on earth has to enter inter a gay relationship or they are slurring gays?

Does every person also have to have their skin dyed black or they are slurring blacks?

How come gays are the only minority it isn't okay to slur and everyone has to be gay?

People who think the law and their will and own personal view points should be one and the same should never be trusted with making or enforcing any law or rules of any kind.

If you can't look beyond your own nose then you should step down and stop trying to enforce the law because you are not acting in anyone's interest but your own and you are just bully who is abusing your power to try and force everyone to agree with you on every little issue.

It takes a big man to look beyond himself and enforce the law and if you can't do that then you should at least have the honor to step down and resign from the job.

I didn't find this offensive so much as puzzling.

I had to go into Wal-Mart to get some stuff for Thanksgiving and every TV in the store was showing adds for Wal-Mart's black Friday sales and hosting the adds was a stereotypical loud black man, and I have to ask why?

I mean because the day has the word black in it you have to have black man yelling and using poor grammar????

Is this really how things work in the year 2014?

It wasn't so much offensive as stupid and I am surprised in a day and age the silliest thing can get a company or a person called racist an add like this got past the planning stage.

It's just odd.
