Let me guess, you also hate people not the same
color as you are yet call yourself a christian.

If you hate people you are going to hell.
Good luck!


Holy jumping to conclusions Batman.


First, wanting trannies and homosexuals to keep it to themselves =/= hate.

Second, wanting to keep these sorts of definitions away from kids also =/= hate.

Third, since you are bringing up Love vs Hate, and christianity, it's best to first actually understand what Love is and what hate is. then maybe, you can have that conversation.

In the immortal words of Haddaway, "What is Love?"

Love is "willing the good of the other," which 1) Requires objective truths of both good and will and 2) Means that you want and will help, get what's best for someone therefore 3) Love is not just a "positive" feeling for someone, or the want to "not hurt their feelings." It is an act of the Will, which is a very different thing. You want to help "point" that person in the right direction.

Loving your children does not mean that you let them do whatever they want with no rules. It doesn't mean you adhere to all of their emotions, and it doesn't mean you let them run wild and just "support," them. It means you teach them and push them toward a "good," at an early age this means adhering to rules, to keeping them safe to teaching them how to sleep... MANY, if not all, of those things require firm pressure, there are usually tears and yelling and crying involved, but the result is a better human who understand how the world works and, for Christians, is equipped to love others themselves and love God, ie to go to Heaven. Then you take it from there as they grow up and those needs to be pushed in the right direction expand with their growing capabilities. That is love.

Love is not an uncontrollable emotion it is a movement, an act for good.

Yall were saying this same stuff about gay people 20 years ago.


They are also obsessed with kids. This has never been proven false. They are also obsessed with sexualizing kids at an early age and making sure those kids can identify them due to their sexual preferences. It's sick man.



But trannies are a different breed.

Trannies have enough obvious boogeyman for me not to have make one up. I'm not looking up photos, but you know what I am talking about.


Why are trannies so obsessed with kids?

To be real:

I'm leaving out both Pop-Rock (Beatles, Beach Boys, etc.) and Metal (Metallica, Sabbath, etc.), as it just get's too messy. I'm going with rock as straight as I can play it:

1. Led Zepplin
2. Rush
3. Van Halen
4. The Rolling Stones
5. Stone Temple Pilots (it;s them or Soundgarden in the last slot)


Just missed: AC/DC, The Band, Soundgarden, Alice in Chains, The Who, ABB, Lynyrd Skynyrd, CCR, Pink Floyd.

The ending for Shanlon was AWFUL. W T F again.

No redeeming qualities in this one.

In China They Eat Dogs - Danish crime film, like an early guy Ritchie film, it's awesome.

Ravenous is always a go to for me, but enough people on here have watched it, that I can't mention it.

I like fronenberg's eXistenZ - a lot of fun.

For Halloween - Session 9

Escape to Victory. Stallone, Pele, Michael Caine, Max von Sydow. Soccer. Nazis. War. Subterfuge. Close to a perfect film for those reasons. haha.

One of my favorite movies from that era. Clever writing, brilliant direction. Great acting.

Far better than it should be.

Ok, let's use that logic everywhere.

if only a very small portion of trans people are affected by making sure women compete with women, then let's make some rules.

if only a small portion of maybe well intentioned immigrants are impacted by illegal immigration crackdowns, we should be ok. Deport everyone, collateral damage is fine.

Maybe that's a fair trade for not caring that a few businesses go out of business.

But villain implies an intention to harm a hero. In this case there isn’t one except the demon.


That is incorrect. A villain stands merely in opposition to the hero. Harm or not. A villain does not even need to be actively in control of their villain status, ie they just exist in opposition to the heroes journey by way of evil action in some form.


Bear is the villain.
The nun conversation.. barf. The "I don't want to be anybody's religion" line... too on the nose. I expect a little more subtelty from him even if he wants to bag on religion now.

The whole flashback sequence, just terrible.

Spielberg's worst movie.
Watching this on a plane...

WTF is Spielberg doing - this movie is pretty terrible. It's just a mess.
Most of mine have been mentioned

City Lights
Passion of Joan of Arc
Sunrise

I’m a mom who loves her kids. I don’t enjoy reading the sensational tweets the OP posts about kids being horrifically abused and brutalized. They aren’t political and don’t belong here.


We just watched 11 jurors out of twelve seek to justify the killing of kids for reasons, and then watched a large portion of one politically charged section of society stand up for a murderer. En masse. In protest. On a variety of mediums supported by big media.

We are watching that same group attack the lone juror who stood up for virtue and the poor kids. He's IN HIDING. I kind of get your perspective, but it's the wrong hill to die on.

This is starting to become a war. That's not your fault, and it's not the OP's fault for informing people. It is what it is. Unfortunately, this is one of the those places where, if you believe in the true good, you are picking a side.

I don't want to pick a side when it comes to a chicken sandwich or where I get my groceries, I get the frustration. But on this particular topic - people should not relent. You should probably be picking a side.

Interesting to wonder what the founding fathers would think of this.



If we would actually follow what the founding fathers wanted and extolled, we wouldn't need the office at all.

We are far away, in a lot of places, of what "the founding father's would have wanted."

Judging these things, solely and alone, on this kind of comparison is ridiculous.
