Neo-80s Electronica
Time

That's very good, love 80's electronica and electronic music in general. Here's a band a bit more up to date, who would like to see maybe do a Star Wars experimental soundtrack (don't get confused, Williams is still god :))

The full soundtrack is very good. Plus a track they done called 'Midnight City' which if you see the video, it's like the kids have force powers! Lol

Are Muslims really trying to take over, or are some people just suffering from Islamaphobia?

It's obvious xenophobia. What do you expect from a bunch of humans??

So that's me labelled, wrapped up and marked as being xenophobic and tucked away in the darkened corner of an overly left wing, overly liberal society. Who are willfully blind or dismissive of serious problems that are affecting people that don't live in some nice litte picturesque village in the countryside somewhere (politicians, journalists etc.) it's such a fucking blindingly obvious joke with these liberals when they persecute through the media (BBC being the main culprit) that anyone who questions this agenda is a stupid, racist, xenophobic caveman who's mentality and idealism belongs in the 1950's. it's utter bullshit.

I don't think we've yet referred to Buddhist extremists in this thread.

They should also investigate what prompted them to do such things. Usually the media produce one-sided news. Not because they would be biased but simply because it make the news more striking and sensational.

After a little research it seems the flash points for violence were a murder in a gold shop and a woman being doused in petrol and set alight. Both perpetrators were Muslim.

Seeing as I've never seen TDKR (and have no plans to ever do so), I wouldn't have known that. Regardless, I had more problems with the way the character was written than the way he was performed.


Have you seen Batman Begins and The Dark Knight?


Yes I have, and that is why I have no interest in watching TDKR or any future films that might be made in the same vein; I don't care for pretentious "realism" in anything related to Batman.

 

Interesting point of view. But I don't think you can label the style as 'pretentious realism'. Bruce Wayne is a real guy (not literally but you know what i mean) He's not an alien from Krypton or a student who gains magical abilities through getting bitten my a mutant spider. Burton had done the Gothic style. There was the silly campness in the 60's series. What other style was there? Personally I thought the whole style and feel of the Dark Knight Trilogy was bang on. What where your issues with the way Batmans character was written?

I'm not saying if you choose to live here then it's paramount you conform to 'western' dress codes? Not for one minute. The hijab is fine. The face s fully presented. The Burka is not fine. These women that either choose to wear it, or are forced by their husbands to, are either sticking 2 fingers up to their adoptive community or are being controlled and demeaned by their spouses. Double edged sword.

I just feel that if your moving to a country that is going to supply you with a much better way of life and standard of living, then take the local communities sensibilities into account on how you present yourself. The Burka doesn't present integration or willingness to communicate with local people. Am I missing the point but isn't the human face and the ability to see the WHOLE of it integral to communicating? The Burka is intimidating (to some), it represents seclusion into your own community and division from everyone else.

 Michael Fassbender as the thirtysomething.

Does this mean we'll get R-rated Star Wars? You can't have Fassbender without Fassbender's wang.

It is possible he could keep it zipped up.  After all, I'd of put money on Ewan being unable to resist waving his Lightsaber around in the PT :-D

^ Note to ILM: We'll CGI the rest of this one in later guys.

Did you see 'Shame'? I don't know if they can keep that thing contained behind a mere zipper. They'll need a potato sack or something.

If I remember rightly, The Times once described his manhood as being 'handsome' lol

Why would he want to?

It's like Warb saying he doesn't like wearing shoes and you saying, "try walking on white hot razor blades without shoes mug!".

It was a hypothetical suggestion that would expose how intolerant Muslim nations are to any other religion. Think about before you stand on your liberal soapbox.

Don't call my soapbox liberal and get off your bigoted biscuit tin.

Ha ha! Love it. My biscuit tin contains all sorts for your information. It's very assorted. Bourbons being my favourite :)

It doesn't help to broad-brush "liberals" as having a single mindset with regards to these issues.  I consider myself extremely liberal, but I and most liberals I know (actual people, not the ones that get all the attention) struggle with where to draw the line and often disagree with each other.

I certainly am against Sharia law being allowed in the U.S., because I believe in the rule of law and living in the U.S. means being protected by its laws, not some other set of laws.  I'd be just as against it if some group were coming in here trying to get permission to live by Amsterdam's laws.

The burka - when worn in the U.S. - also bothers me.  Not because it is a symbol of Islam (I don't even know if it is), but because it represents severe inequality being introduced into a country in which everyone is supposed to have equal protection.  You know that if some of these women stopped wearing the burka, they'd be punished or worse.  Yes they are choosing to wear it, but the reality is that some of them are being denied choice, living under an intimidation they can't easily escape and dare not admit publicly.  By American standards, that isn't fair.  We probably can't ban them outright, but they could be banned in areas where security is a potential concern, such as airports, government buildings, schools, etc., because of the inability to reasonably confirm the identity of someone wearing it.  Religious freedom isn't absolute.

This isn't about liberals versus conservatives - it's about trying to reason through where to draw the lines.  It's why I hate extreme media on both sides, because they squelch discussion and problem-solving rather than facilitating it, by propping up ridiculous straw men and convincing their viewers that is what the other side believes.  The vast majority of real people fall closer to the middle, and if the FOX's and MSNBC's weren't fanning the flames, we'd probably be making a lot more progress and our government might not be at gridlock.

Totally agree Puggo. Don't expect Warbler to. Lol
