Apocalypse Now - 4/5

Really good atmosphere with the orange and green color scheme. The movie’s rife with symbolism, and lends itself to being picked apart and analyzed. I really enjoyed Laurence Fishburne as Clean, I didn’t even realize it was him until the credits. I actually liked Clean as a character a lot more than Willard. Martin Sheen’s performance as Willard was kinda lackluster and bland, but not necessarily bad. Brando as Kurtz was absolutely menacing, and the cinematography with him was absolutely brilliant, and really accentuated his menacing demeanor.

Oooooh…I get it. It’s the atheist version of that “Hate the sin, love the sinner” thing. Caughtcha! How progressive!

The difference is that “Love the sinner, hate the sin” is usually referring to homosexuality. In that case, the ‘sin’ is a part of who they are, and something they can’t change. Religion is a belief, that can indeed be changed.

“Your sexuality is inherently sinful and wrong, but it doesn’t change my opinion of you as a person.”

vs

“I hate Christianity, but it doesn’t change my opinion of you as a person.”

Here you justify the difference between hating a religion vs hating homosexuality if one is okay and one is not. Both are bigotry.

Y’know, I debated whether I wanted to use the word hate there, but I went for it since it was an attempt to justify the people who said they did. That’s not my view though, I don’t hate Christianity, I don’t hate anything. There are negative aspects of Christianity, just like there are negative aspects of ‘black culture’. There are negative aspects of probably everything. Breadsticks, they’ve got a lot of carbs, but I don’t hate breadsticks.

How is that anti-religion or bigoted at all?

That being said, it would be interesting to see it actually tested out in mainstream sports, with everyone trying their absolute best and not holding back.

No it wouldn’t. It would be a laughable bloodbath.

Sounds interesting to me. Why do you think people liked gladiators?

Not to make any assumptions about you personally, but I have a feeling that if this were to happen and men were to win, some of the people who are calling for mixed gender sports now, would change their tune and insist that it wasn’t a fair match.

We need to do such a thing multiple times to get an adequately statistically significant (Yes I know I’m not using the term correctly) pool of data.

That’s true, for sure.

Though Frink is being sarcastic, I think there are some sports that they would get decimated in. Like in football (American football, not that stupid eurotrash football), for example. It may be condescending, but men are just physically stronger than women, it’s a fact.

Perfect encapsulation of Frinkydink’s grandiose hypocrisy.
If ANYONE else had said this about ANYONE else, he would’ve pitched an absolute histrionic hissy-fit, with expletives flowing like blood from a dilation-and-curettage, because it violates one of his solipsistic taboos.
In fact, this comment is meant as his parry on my critique of his hysterical chastisement of another commenter just for using the word “abortion” in an entirely dry, inoffensive manner.
Yet he thinks nothing of using it as a direct attack, unadorned by artful phrasing or comedic couching.
Frink on, you cray-cray cubic zirconium.

I don’t want to jump on the Frink hate train, but I kind of agree with you here. I can definitely see him getting upset if this was said to him, or even to someone else. I wouldn’t blame him for getting upset, but it does seem a little hypocritical.

Hate trains seem sorta common here.

Edit: Looking at the context of what Frink said, I’m not sure it was unwarranted.

This spamming isn’t very funny.

So it’s “love the sinner, hate the sin,” which has been identified as hypocritical and bigoted on this forum.

Considering the source is a group that has a tradition going back centuries of punishing the sinners with torture and death when the founding principle is being without sin before casting a stone and removing the plank from your own eye, it’s sort of odd to be used as retort against people who like some of the individuals who might say it but dislike aspects of the organisation that prompts them to.

Honestly just ditch the torture porn in your holy books denounce the torture, past, present and future and get on with being happy on Sunday or whatever day is special to you.

We’re criticizing the actions, not the people.

Which is why it’s useless to call people immature misogynists. It only puts them on the defensive, and they won’t be receptive to anything you (not you specifically, the ‘royal you’) say after that.

The most offensive things in this thread is the continued use of “emoji” and the word “titty”.

The English language has developed for thousands of years and the best people can do is revert to pictograms and a third grade word to describe breasts.

Also: Sex as an achievement. Allol.

Me when I see a big ol’ titty

Ugh. Chrome is absolutely terrible at emoji support, even in OS X.

This is why Windows is the enemy.

(And, for the record, I use Safari has my main browser, like an actual civilized human being)

I’d really rather not see Emojis. I miss the good ol’ days when we used emoticons, and they weren’t automatically turned into Emojis. :^)

Chrome, because I’m a civilized human being.
