Honestly, now that the prequels are irrelevant, I’m really glad that I don’t like them because if I did then I’d just be even more unlikable on this forum.
Am I in that group? I’m not really defending it, I’m just saying it’s the least of problems.
If you don’t think that the prequels are a crime against humanity then you’re an apologist. That’s how it works here. And if you criticize almost any aspect of the Disney films then you’re wrong.
It’s not that the prequel special effects haven’t aged well, they were bad even back then.
No that’s not true, most of them were state of the art then. Not all of them, but most of them.

By the way, is this a Jackie Robinson joke?
I get your point, I just think it’s wrong and bad. Shawshank Redemption is great though.
Relatively speaking she barely campaigned, especially not compared to Trump or Bernie. Her campaign didn’t speak to me at all so I didn’t vote for her. She didn’t win me over and that’s her fault. I might’ve voted for Sanders, although that would’ve gone against my principle of not voting.
Just never mow your lawn.
The Shawshank Redemption - It was beautiful. There was some nudity in it, and while that did make me really angry and offended, I was able to move past it. If I had any balls to give it, I’d give it 2 balls out of 2.
I’m really happy for you, considering how difficult that is.
It took two and a half decades, but it happened.
I actually met a really nice person recently at a social gathering that I’ve been enjoying quite a bit.
Hey, if he’s in to engineering that’s fine. Just don’t choose a field you have no interest in and suffer through it.
Just in case you didn’t know: whataboutism is a real thing, it just hasn’t been a signature feature of American politics until recently.
To be honest, that was one thing I also didn’t like about Hillary’s campaign during the general election. She didn’t seem to be running so much for herself as she was running against Donald Trump. I liked her much better when she would talk about what she was for rather than when she talked about why Trump couldn’t be allowed access to nuclear codes.
Hillary was a terrible candidate and for some reasons we were all just expected to to vote for her even though she was barely campaigning.
i’m considering electrical engineering as my major
Just choose whatever major is the most exciting to you. That’ll make college more interesting.
LOL! Weird.
I think skipping breakfast is smart;
Not sure if serious but I’m starting to wonder if I’ll ever agree with anything you say again.
Again?
Not really great?
Lol! This kid is awesome:

Abusive cops promised and accepted money to use their power to protect their subjects and instead they used their near-absolute authority and power to harass and abuse their subjects.
Not great?
The “ask anybody on the street” argument doesn’t really work because people also describe heaven as having pearly gates (when that actually is the Holy City in Revelation), or God being an old man with a long white beard, or to attribute proverbs to the Bible that it doesn’t say (like “money is the root of all evil” or “God helps those who help themselves.”)
That’s true, but the Bible does describe hell as the way people tend to think of it.
That last one wasn’t hyperbole. I think that a cop using his power to beat the shit out of someone warrants the death penalty.
People conflate nudity and objectification too much. There’s more objectification than sexual objectification. The customer service representative is treated like an object that exists to happily serve stupid people and it’s the same thing with waiters and waitresses. Sexual objectification, especially when all parties are willing participants is blown so out of proportion. I’m not really convinced it’s that much of a problem. I’m not saying it doesn’t exist, I just don’t think it’s usually a big problem. I don’t see how nudity in media is affecting anyone’s outlook unless they’re so easily manipulated that they let the media think for them, but they’re already lost if that’s how they operate. Most people don’t really treat others with humanity anyway whether they’re objectified or not so who cares. This idea that anybody would be any less of disgusting miserable piles of loathsome trash if their media was different doesn’t convince me at all.
I guess, but everyone does their jobs to further themselves. They may think that it’s degrading, but I think taking calls or working customer service is about fifty times more degrading but us commoners do it because we don’t want to starve to death.
Just because you don’t think it’s potentially degrading and objectifying doesn’t mean it isn’t. And agin you’re implying all actors aren’t “commoners” which is fucking ridiculous.
There are common actors but they still have a better job than most people. Pretending to be happy in order to please customers or being nice to mean people and just praying to get tipped is so fucking degrading that it makes me sick. Do I have to be offended by restaurants and stores and places like that? No. Is anyone else offended on their behalf. Not really. I think this nudity issue is less degrading than what most people are subjected to in their jobs but for some reason this one is supposed to be more exciting and more outrageous than others, but I’m not buying it.

In America 99% of people asked to describe hell will say it’s fire and brimstone. That’s our culture. I was still thinking about the US when I questioned your stat, but again we’re talking about what hell is not whether it exists or not. This is a mindbending mind game and I can’t handle it anymore.
