The new show is in favor of transgender expression in youth and still pretty much all the other social issues the original Roseanne covered. I haven’t seen all of it yet though.
Roseanne is a great show. A show about a midwestern, dysfunctional white trash family that was pro-gay but at the same time paralleled my real family in a lot of ways was except more close-nit spoke to me then and still does now. It’s also the only family sitcom that even bothered trying to resemble what the average American family was like.
Home Improvement was great. Roseanne was my favorite 1990s sitcom by far though.
I thinking more like Ted Haggard.
I never understood how it’s so impressive of the God character to sacrifice his son. Like, sacrificing your child even for a good cause isn’t impressive. It’d be like if I signed other people up for the military and said, “I’m sending people to fight and die for your freedom so you need to appreciate me.”
I don’t see how it’s surprising.
Talking about them in a really sexual or idolatrous, hero-worship way is creepy, but talking about their looks generally isn’t. Especially actors or models. I personally don’t see much appeal in talking about how “beautiful” people are, but I definitely wouldn’t say that it’s creepy if done a certain way.
They would be disgusted, but they would also recognize such behavior as an obvious symptom of a severe mental illness. You’re right though, the moral message of that story has always revolted me.
new achievement unlocked: super creepy
I follow the photographer on DeviantArt. He’s taken a few photographs of the girl. I found her name there. I then Googled her to see if she had a larger career, be it in modelling or acting or what the hell ever.
Also, this isn’t the first time I’ve listed a non-famous woman I randomly discovered on the Internet in this thread. Is that “super creepy”, too?
I don’t know exactly how creepy it is but it’s the kind of thing that makes me paranoid to post any pictures of myself on social media.
To be perfectly honest, I find this whole thread (and similar threads on other sites) to be kinda creepy.
If they’re public figures then it isn’t creepy.

The idea that God uses a secret algorithm that weighs sins in a “reasonable” way seems way more arbitrary and self-serving.
No, it actually doesn’t. Not if we’re characterizing him as a divine dealer of justice. Like I said, imagine if our justice system judged all crime equally.
Hmmm…you believe different than I do? Ok, you’re going to be tortured forever after you die.
Oh, and that other guy who led a terrible life, raped, robbed, murdered, kicked puppies and pushed down old ladies, but accepted Jesus as his savior right at the end? He’s a better person than you are.
Nah, doesn’t seem like a shitty belief system at all.
A guy who accepts getting saved at the end isn’t gonna fool God if he’s not sincere. And if he’s sincere? Why wouldn’t that matter?
I mean how would such a guy have heard of Jesus anyway if not for someone else taking time to point it out to him. Someone who noticed he was on a destructive path and took a lot of effort to help him onto a better one?
I don’t know why you’d be against the idea that even a horrible person could find a way to redeem themselves. I mean can criminals be rehabilitated or not? Should we lock people up forever on a 1st offense? Or should we give them other chances?
A rapist and murderer who legitimately gives his life to Christ is less of a sinner than me.
I’d just like to say that this is not really how it works. The rapist/murderer is not less of a sinner than you. He did not sin less than you just because that sin is forgiven. But, he will be saved rather than you, because he gave complete recognition to the person who bought him the choice to ask for forgiveness.
And it’s still just as repulsive of an idea.
If you say so.
I do too. It’s completely fucked up, and if God exists and is omnipotent, I don’t think he would judge someone based on their devotion to him, which he has no need for, being a perfect being. It’s lunacy.
I suppose I better just move on with my repulsive and shitty life, though maybe I could better my reputation by murdering a few unborn children with no medical issues.
Well I guess you get credit for throwing medical issues in there.
Too bad for women that were raped though I guess. Or for women with medical issues.
Or what about the couple whose condom broke and they simply cannot afford or simply don’t want to have a kid? (I’m guessing plan B counts as murder.)
Progressive is in many ways just the new label for what used to be called liberal before, say, the Clinton administration. The liberal label over time evolved (at least in some circles) to apply only to the more suburban white well-to-do part of the Democratic base – not particularly union-friendly, not particularly concerned about the social safety net, interested in looking environmentally-conscious without having to change their lifestyle, and so sad about racial injustice that they hope very fervently that somebody else will finally do something about it before they have to sit through another depressing movie about it.
Progressive identity arose the way lots of identities do – simply as a means of saying “I’m not one of them!”
Yeah, I think of progressivism in a Lyndon Johnson “Great Society” way. We haven’t had a truly liberal president since Carter.
IMO we haven’t had a truly liberal President since Nixon, but different strokes.
You must be really old! And everyone knows Nixon was terrible!
Nixon and Ford were quite liberal.

I don’t really understand this one.
Is it really just some random woman from social media?
Do you remember, when Disney requested a print of the original cut from Library of Congress why would they ask for it if they say “oh we don’t care about the OUT” so clearly something is happening is not why ask for the print. Here is a quote from reddit:
“For those unaware, the only thing Disney didn’t get when they bought Lucas Films back in 2012 was distribution rights to Episode 4. According to insiders, Disney has a 4k copy of the original cut of the film but can not release it. Now that Disney has bought all of 20th Century Fox, they now have full control of that movie and can release it to the public.”
Disney has all of the original elements for the 1977 Star Wars and has scanned all of the elements in 4K for archival purposes.
They would have absolutely no need of a LoC print, do you have a source for this?Lucasfilm did at one stage try to retrieve the LoC prints and replace them with the Special Editions, the LoC refused.
Also when making the SE release, Lucas did dig out an IB Tech print and showed it to the colourists as reference for the SE, saying that the IB was the look he wanted to achieve. I’m wondering if these events may have gotten confused into the “Disney requested a print” story, as I can’t see a reason that Disney would need one.I’m not saying the story is definitely wrong, but I’d be interested to know what the source is.
I’ve spoken again with people inside the Disney archival and restoration team, and they still say there is no interest internally in releasing the original versions, but that they have digitally scanned all of the elements that they have. There is talk internally of a 4K SE release however.
The source is a Lowry restorationist whose friend, an LoC librarian, complied with Disney’s request.
We also really want prison reform and a massive reform of our law enforcement system.
If this hypothetical KKK leader (assuming he never participated in a lynch mob) actually had dedicated himself to civil rights and realized the error of his ways and sought forgiveness, I’d love to invite him to my mixed wedding. The difference is that 1) he’s not a dangerous murderer, 2) he has gone beyond apology and wants to fight for the right cause, and 3) he isn’t seeking forgiveness and making amends with a cosmic deity that didn’t actually suffer because of him, he’s seeking to improve the lives of the people that he once tried to oppress. Like I said, I do believe in real redemption. I just don’t believe in the fake redemption of asking God for forgiveness.
Yeah but it’s confusing as fuck and we have to constantly call you out on it only to find out you were just fucking with us so it’s kinda exhausting.
Well, being a burden to others has been my calling in life since I fought my way out of the womb, and they say you should stick to what you know.
With that said I like you because you don’t think I’m worse than a repentant rapist/murderer.
You’re easily in my top 10 list of unrepentant murderers. 😉
Speaking of that scene, why is Obi Wan out walking around chatting after Order 66? Also, what a horrible response. “I’m so sorry” that your husband and the father of your unborn children is a mass murderer that butchered a bunch of four year-olds for no reason. Obi Wan’s such a jerk. I see why he pretended not to remember any of this in ANH.
You don’t need permission to show clips in the context of such a presentation.
He wasn’t screening it anyway, just talking about the techniques he used in restoring it.
Oh, he wasn’t? Yeah, so this event is even less Star Wars related than I thought. I honestly would be surprised if the home video rights to Star Wars were even mentioned at this event.
Other people don’t validate me, I can assure you that I hold a very low opinion of myself and everything that I say and do. However, I have made my point in response to other people. You’ve repeated yourself many times and not once have I implored you to silence yourself. I also don’t think I’m being negative. I think my worldview, at least when it comes to religion, is healthy and positive. You’ve got people that agree with you in here too. I could just as easily say that you’re drowning my positive and deep statements but I won’t say that.
