Anyone?
Anyone?
When has that ever stopped anyone?
I'm trying to keep up. Are you saying that ALL Muslims are terrorists? Because it sure sounds like it, Bub!
So….. are you saying that all Muslims are bad?
Yes. Because if you even hint at criticizing certain radical elements of fundamentalist Islamism you are, in fact, saying that ALL Muslims are terrorists. That is how it works, right?
Don't hold your breath.
So who started the whole "criticizing those who hypocritically send 'thoughts and prayers'" thing anyway? It's become quite the movement.
Also…. it's a double-whammy here because not only was that the case, it was based on a film reference that, to be honest, you really should've known. (Carrey even says "Oh Billy!")
My only real beef is the injection of a strict, 2016 PC viewpoint when examining films from a different time. I'm thinking of their recent examination of the film "MASH". It's not at all wrong to point out that the attitudes of that work contain elements of sexism or misogyny, but it's a bit amateurish for somebody…
(Asianshoebox Diary Entry - Tues). : Woke up. Had a cup of coffee. Hopped on the internet and hurled angry bonmots of vitriol. Watched "The View". Went for a walk. Yelled at neighbors. Cried. Went back to internet to angrily respond to my earlier comment's responses. Wrote angry letter to George Will (that'll…
Great. Another person who doesn't get it. Like I said, my own fault for making a pre "Star Wars" movie reference.
It's got nothing to do with your 'Vorsprung durch Technik' yer know.
I'm concerned for the poor A.V. soul who'll have to write the re-examination of "Blazing Saddles" and / or "Animal House". They'll need a case of smelling salts to get through that.
Odd that they read it that way, but then the AV Club has been beset with a bit of PC overload in the past year or two.
Further surprised that they didn't get the (rather obvious) reference. Well, at least obvious to well-versed film nerds.
When Homer Simpson, (while visiting Planet Hollywood), tore the script in two and threw it to the floor, ("Stupid 'Cable Guy'! Ruin Jim Carrey's career!") I knew I was on the right side of history. It was a "Mr. Show" movie for a "Three and a Half Men" audience.
So THEY'RE the ones to blame for the Orlando massacre, and not somebody declaring allegiance to a death cult splintered from a fundamentalist interpretation of the tenants of Islam. So when a gay man is burned alive in Saudi Arabia or thrown off a roof to his death in the northern Iraq it's really Mitch McConnell's…
What makes you think they weren't members of my community as well? And the only person I was "triggering" was one particularly juvenile idiot who was acting like a jackass…( and no, I won't hold my breath waiting for you to excoriate him). But hey, if it makes you feel better to blame everything under the sun except…
Except he didn't have a machine that fires 800 rounds per minute, (despite what rep. Grayson claimed). That would be a full-automatic, (machine gun), which he didn't appear to have and which is highly illegal in the U.S. And even if he did, the clip would hold only 30 rounds. Again, I'm not a fan of the AR-15 but…
Depends. It's like the old Timothy McVeigh canard. He was raised a Christian, so people who aren't down with Christianity like to point that out as an example of Christian terrorism. (btw, for the record, I'm an atheist)
But McVeigh's beef was some bullshit about the government and his anger over Waco and Ruby Ridge…
Good lord, dude. Ease off the gas, there. What're you all up on my frame for? Seriously, WTF?
Hell yes a gay night club should be a safe space. How am I inferring anything different?
