I apologize if I offend you, but respectfully - you’re wrong. It is counter-productive to integrating LGBT persons into society as a whole to keep crashing cymbals together every time there is a “gay moment” in a movie. I get it - you feel underrepresented. But let’s be real for a second - it’s not a checklist or a…

“Significant in part for how small their roles are.” Yep. Basically they were just there to, well, BE GAY. “Hurray! We had a scene with gay characters! Okay, back off-screen with you now so we can focus on the developed characters!” How about this: Just develop the characters, gay and straight, as if they were all, ya…

Making explicit the fact that a character is LGBT does little more than suggest that the character’s sexuality is the most interesting thing about them.

LOL - but communism always fails. It necessarily fails because it is a flawed system! Every new person who tries to produce “true” Marxism fails more spectacularly than the last. And when a communist system fails, you get Stalin. Or Castro. Or Amin. Or Mao. Or Kim. Name ONE communist experiment that did not collapse…

Then there is the second element that people forget about. Though the “income gap” is widening, the quality of life in the modern era has been so greatly improved (thanks to capitalist nations’ innovations) that even those who are considered “poor” today live vastly improved lives over the “middle class” of prior…

Don’t ask a socialist to support their viewpoints with facts. They have already sacrificed their ability to formulate reasoned analysis for a visceral, emotion based dogma formulated around the flawed premise that capitalism is bad because “dude, greed is like, wrong man...”

Marx was a utopianst. Nothing about his world-view worked unless people are FORCED to contribute. The entire premise of socialism/communism is based on the fundamentally flawed concept that the successful will continue to produce at their historical levels if the incentive of the promise of personal wealth is stripped…

Oh, every few years, as the young, impressionable, inexperienced and arrogant of the newest generation gets it in their collective heads that they know everything and somehow have the slightest grasp of how the world actually works, someone tries to light the fire again. It always spreads quickly, because the vast…

Morgan Freeman said the same thing about playing POTUS in Deep Impact - he wasn’t there to play a “black” President. He just ... played the role of President.

You need to keep something in mind, before ANYONE gets on the “Marvel needs to be willing to lose money and not be greedy because this is IMPORTANT” train - if Marvel isn’t making any money, then the “cause” isn’t being helped because no one is reading the comics.

It’s almost like people aren’t buying comic books to support causes or advance political agendas. But then, whatever COULD they be buying them for?

THANK you.

What scares me is, I think you’re being sarcastic, but I can’t be sure.

“Straight white guy.” There it is. You are fine with snap judgments because you routinely make them.

Polanski wasn’t accused. He confessed and was convicted. He fled the country when the court rejected a sweetheart plea deal.

So now we arent just setting our expectationd on “presumed guilty but we are ALSO presuming that additional evidence of that guilt exists, and will surface, and only if it DOESN’T surface should we entertain that the accused MIGHT be innocent.

“Let them be proven innocent later.” The seeming obliviousness with which you casually make this comment superbly highlights the problem with snap judgments. We don’t DO guilty until proven innocent in this country. One is INNOCENT until guilt is proven. We do it that way for a REASON. And we don’t abandon our values…

I’m now more convinced than ever that these scientists have never watched “The Walking Dead” - and desperately need to.

I’m not crying. YOU’RE crying! Shut up! It’s very... dusty .... in my office... <sniff>

Batman wins simply because, “It” manifests as its target’s fear. Batman has no fear.
