lol....give yourself another 30-40 years...

Right off hand I can think of over a dozen other actors with much better list of works than the OP list. Not even mentioned are the two that have appeared in by far the most blockbusters movies, Samuel L Jackson and Anthony Hopkins.

Maybe 10 years ago I'd thought Cruise, Pitt, Damon, and DiCaprio would have become more prolific but I'd have to say even Tom Hardy has taken over with the most great films I'd watch over and over in the past decade. Guys still on the way up, Jeremy Renner, Vinnie Jones, James Franco, even older like Gary Oldman, Christian Bale, Colin Farrel, James McAvoy are starting to take over and have as many if not more than the OP actor choices. Plus at least dozen more actors in the bigger picture of the more modern movies.. I like the actors in the OP but way too many with better lists of films.

Flipping amazing performance, my all time favorite of his. But as far as tgoat, that's such an absurd concept when it comes to essence of what music is. You can go to some cheesy-arse music college like Lee University and there are dozens of singers who have multi-octave ranges, flawless technique and overall facility better than 99 percent of the great rock singers... but you could hardly listen to more than 1-2 minutes of any of them before you'd lose interest. Music itself is so independent from judgments like this because what may move one person at a certain moment may be the worst possible thing to hear for another's moment. I fricken' love FM but if he sang every song that I like I'd also fricken' hate the sound of his voice by now. He's one of many greats for sure.

If you make a kid play t ball at 3 or 4 is that the same thing? That kid may have no idea what they're signing up for, but that doesn't mean the dad is trying to live through the kid that still pisses himself. Seriously, why are you turning this into some sort of morality arguement or whatever? Maybe the mom just thinks it will make the baby cuter, IN HER OPINION.

No man, have you worked with kids that have suffered years of dysfunctional parenting? I have. What I'm saying, and honestly man, slow down and use some comprehension skill. I see i'm wasting time, the only reason I'm bothering is because this DOES involve children and maybe a parent can take something away from this. If you've worked with kids it's pretty simple, you roll them a ball, if they roll it back... do it again. If you see a willingness to interact in their eyes, they are learning a motor skill and they enjoy it.

There are thousands of teen suicides directly stemmimg from overbearing parents belittling abilities and humiliating their kids in competitive sports. Two very different things and if you really want to learn, just start Googling. I'm not speaking about moral issues, simply what is a positive or negative input to a child's growth. Opinions are one thing, clinical studies that universally agree, with same data and results are another. Is a mom who wants to pierce a babies ears an indicator of future abusive pageant type syndrome? F#ck no...

But if a child is going to develop into an emotionally healthy, well balanced, well adapted, and productive individual who makes positive contributions to society, it IS a parent's job to MAKE CHOICES for the child and GUIDE a child responsibly... for the CHILD'S SAKE. The second a parent crosses the line and a child becomes the surrogate for the vicarious, it begins to diminish in functioning correctly. None of us are perfect and neither are our children. We all have shortcoming but if we really care, it's not hard to learn to correct ourselves before we inflict it on our kids. But now more than ever, there's a disconnect in society when it comes to knowing how or even desiring to learn to responsibly raise a well adjusted child.

Its mom turf. When you have a boy you can decide when to give him his first bow with metal tipped arrows.

This can be a bit different than a Dad that wants to introduce a boy to hunting, building, and sports skills. Piercing ears is closer to a vanity issue than one for developing skill... and if mom is using the child (especially an infant that is clueless) as a display of her own beauty, you can sometimes have some complicated mental sh#t brewing. Same if a dad becomes that overbearing sport parent trying to relive his glory days through jr.... Challenging a child to new skills and experiences (even bow/metal tip arrows) is always a positive approach if IT IS DONE FOR THE CHILD ITSELF to grow and flourish... and done with responsible supervision and instruction. Piercing an oblivious baby can raise slightly different concerns.

I think you are correct and this is a slippery psychological slope as a practice in general. This is obviously something your wife wants herself and for show, the baby is clueless. Before she starts this vicarious exhibition and public display through her child... first of all, does she fully understand exactly why she wants to do this and where will it stop? You may horrified to see how far this can actually go.

she must have forgot to implement her white privilege

She was just a Bond girl in "Spectre"... at age 52 I think, she was by far the oldest in 007 history.
