I hate when people expect everyone to automatically like their stupid and unlikable girl- or boyfriends.
Something that pretty much all of these people have in common is that they were put on a pedestal and treated like royalty, and seemed to have started this behavior before the age of instantly accessible information on the internet. They were able to get away with it for a long time because they were such valuable business assets, or philanthropic, or just likable people, much like Jimmy Saville from a few years ago.
Not really from the time that he would have lived, but this more apt for the religion thread.
I think historians agree that Jesus did exist, whether he was the son of God and could perform miracles and rise from the dead is of course debated.
Whether he existed in a form resembling the biblical narrative is debated. Him being the song of God and performing miracles is debated but not really by historians.
I don’t think anyone believes he is the song of God.
From a figurative point of view he could be interpreted that way.

Charles Mansons are people too.
2012 called, it wants its joke back!

Yeah, I love the atmosphere and pretty much everything that you mentioned, but I just can’t get past how boring it is to me.
If everyone had that mentality, we’d quickly see full priced games charging you 50 cents just to start a new game. A quarter for every respawn! 10 cents to reload! This kind of business model has NO BUSINESS outside of F2P titles.
It’s a market-driven business. If that happened, and no one played, it would quickly die. Or people would pay and it would survive.
The answer is always if you don’t like it, don’t pay and don’t play. Find another business model to support.
As someone who is no longer a gamer, I agree with this. The people that complain the most about this are the ones that will be first in line to buy it. That said, I agree completely that this business model is horrific and shady as all hell.
Lol. It really does! Just throw Full House in there while you’re at it.
I like the visuals and soundtrack of Bladerunner quite a bit, but I just can’t get passed how boring it is.
Why is one curse word considered worse than another? Not entirely sure. I’ve seldom heard the C word used in R rated movies even. Only one I can think of off the top of my head is Silence Of The Lambs.
I think I’ve heard it in more than just Silence Of The Lambs.
I didn’t realize it was considered THAT bad a word. I mean I knew it was a bad word. But it is worse than I realized.
It’s used hilariously in the 1999 film Election.
I mean, if he was talking about a depiction of Christ coming down off of a crucifix, that still doesn’t make sense, because that suggests the actual Man didn’t actually exist.
I’m not sure sure what you’re referring to by this.
A crucifix is a depiction of a Roman cross with Christ nailed to and hanging from it. I’m saying the real Jesus of Nazareth, be He Christ or not, is not on the cross anymore, and the depictions of Christ on a crucifix are not real.
I’m saying that it makes zero sense no matter how you slice it.
I know what a crucifix is. I was commenting on your statement that implied he was an indisputable historical figure.
Rewind is still generally used to describe skipping backward in a video or movie. I don’t think the post-VHS youth would struggle with it.

I pretty much never use it. My point was just that I don’t get why out of all the gendered insults that one is deemed inappropriate.
I’ve never understood why people claim that insult is worse than others.
Why are we bringing up the National Anthem protests again?
There’s no reason we should cower up about just because of one incident that happened. You should be able to have an appropriate discussion about it.
Given what has happened when we discussed it in the past, I don’t think I can. We have already made our opinions on the issue clear enough anyway. Also, I just understand why mfm decided to bring it up now, we hadn’t been talking about it at all.
I was telling a joke.
I like that Ghostbusters cover.
Just picked up the 2016 remaster of the Ramones first album, RAMONES and the 2017 remaster of their second album LEAVE HOME.
Both of these albums are classics. I’ve probably heard the debut Ramones a million times and it never gets old.
Agreed! I think their first 4 albums are fantastic. The quality on the remaining 10 bobs and weaves, but every album has at least 4 great tracks.
This. I think Rocket to Russia is my favorite.
I always make sure to blink exactly 182 times a day in honor of them.
Yeah, now that Brian is out of the touring lineup there’s absolutely no reason to continue.
I love AC/DC so much. Sad, sad news.
Ah, so you live in a video nasty which has never received a DVD/BD release.
No, the DVD and BD versions all had 1990s CGI added to them. Other than a letterbox transfer on a DVD release’s bonus disc, there’s no way to upgrade without getting a cluttered mess, so I stuck with video.
Do you think Warbler is actually just an ESPN shareholder or advertiser of some sort? Maybe that’s why he’s so pissed off about the national anthem protests, because he’s worried that it’s decreasing ESPN viewership.
