Adoption is literally never mentioned in the movie as what happened between michael and the Tuohys.. Nope, not once


LINK It's probably not a good idea to blatantly lie about a movie that alot of people already saw.

That is what I meant and worded it poorly, fine.

The Tuohys are NEVER mentioned as adopting Oher in the book or movie.

So, once again, before you edit, you are clearly lying. I am not repeating what you said. I am making it clear in my response someone would not go through these lengths as a millionaire

You just added a screenshot of what I said, you saying "yes" then repeating what I said and what you argued, that millionaires don't do shady shite for 7 figure payouts....any reason why you kept referring to it as a few thousand bucks? Or do you want to ignore that too?

You're on record stating that all millionaires would never do shady shite for a 7 figure payout. Feel free to backtrack if you like, but you just added the screenshot of proof showing what I said was exactly so, thanks for doing that.

You might want to watch that link with closed captions on since you seem to be confused. Where do they say they adopted him?

“Part of the family”
“Legal guardians”

Adoption never mentioned there hoss

Wanna take a stab at why you kept referring to a 7 figure payout as a "few thousand bucks" when you even admitted later that it was wayyyyyy more than a few thousand bucks?

Or nah, you wanna ignore that too?


Just wanna make sure you have a chance to tackle all the dumb shite you said in this thread. Let's work on this one for now.

And there it is! In all of its shel "above the fray!" glory! The passive aggressive "I won't come right out and say it, but I'm a progressive" splendor. Just admit, you're white knighting (literally) for this poor, exploited black person against these rich, evil white capitalists - Southern whites, to boot, which makes your heart go pitter patter even more.

Like I said, you're self-parody at this point.

Being legal guardians and adopting him are very different.

Parents retain rights when there is a guardian in place but don't when adoption takes place. Parents can terminate a guardian but not when their child is adopted by someone else.

PICK A SIDE, DON'T TRY TO GET FACTS, THOSE ARE UNNECESSARY!!!


Politics has broken some of you folks, you for sure with that post.


This story has zero to do with anything political but you're melting about politics here.

What? The entire argument was the movie never said he was adopted versus the actual conservatorship

You realize a conservatorship is being legally responsible right? So that scene actually makes my and bunch’s point even stronger. And shel tried to dunk on me again without watching the actual video

It’s not semantics in this case.

Legal Guardian vs Adoption are different by law. Just google Legal Guardian vs Adoption and you can read all about it.

Why do you think the script writers wrote it that way? You can’t just say the word adoption when he is in fact not adopted

Again, I was correct in my post on that.

You changed the argument, but I was correct. You know that.

The point of the entire movie was the Tuohys taking Michael in and making him apart of the family.

It's easily inferred that they were adopting Michael. In fact that was not the case, they had him sign a conservatorship so they could be in control of his affairs.

That sounds nothing like officially making him a part of the family.

This is true. But becoming a legal guardian is not the same as becoming Michael's conservator.

except that’s what you are doing

If you remove politics, you have someone suing the people that took him off the streets, knowingly lying about the adoption angle based on his own previous statements, saying the 100 millionaires did it all to keep the money from them, and doing all of it right before his new book comes out

Without politics, this is something everyone laughs at as being a joke
