I mean, I fucking hate Reagan, but 1. I don’t blame his children for that, nor do I expect them to hate their father 2. I don’t think this project would do ANYTHING to take down Reagan mythology - it would either be preaching to the choir or fodder to ~outrage~ his conservative fan club. There are tons of substantive…

You do understand this issue isn’t really about Ronald Reagan, right? It’s about not making fun of a particularly heartbreaking disease.

Exactly. You want to make a movie about all the terrible shit Reagan did? HAVE AT IT. Dude was a criminal and an asshole. THERE’S PLENTY OF MATERIAL. But don’t make fun of him for having Alzheimers. In addition to being gross, it’s just kind of lazy.

Hahaha persecuted?! I’ve never said that anywhere. I haven’t felt persecuted or threatened at all. People disagree with me on a blog. And? It’s a Tuesday.

It's so weird because actually I'm doing the exact same thing you're doing which is: sharing your opinion on a blog. If it bothers you so much you don't have to read the comments.

What wild accusations? I think a very old, very wealthy and powerful white man is acting selfishly. That’s hardly a “wild” accusation.

Oh definitely. I mean even with the Kristen Stewart affair: That age difference was barely what half of this? A third? A fourth? And everyone was saying it wasn’t her fault that he had taken advatage of her etc. But when it’s a powerful rich guy with a much younger dude it’s okay?

Yeah I read his essay but I couldn’t shake the feeling that he was glossing over the other issue by making it only about gender. Also I don’t believe in viewing it differently just because it’s a victory for LGBTQ acceptance. If this were my father wanting to marry a woman younger than me, or in the future, his…

No thanks. I’d also prefer that you not refer to me as “hon” when attempting to correct my comment just because you don’t agree with it. It’s really condescending.

What? I'm on a blog offering my opinion. I think it's creepy and gross. Yeah they've been together for 15 years, you take that as proof of their stability I take it as proof that the younger dude has never had the chance to experience a balanced and healthy adult relationship. This is all he knows. I think it's…

This comment is so late I’m sure I will be permanently gray and nobody will ever read it, but I’m just going to put this out there anyway. I happen to live in Pinellas County, probably less than 15 minutes drive from the pond these girls died in.

From those who are better Floridians than I, the mud is the real hazard.

And we don’t know there *weren’t* gators, or other creatures a little aggravated by the sudden disturbance.

That’s awesome! Not argument against having a good, strong culture. It is something these families appear to lack.

Yes, you are right and I agree with you.

It’s the unpopular opinion, but reality is these girls needed to stop this shit 7 arrests ago. god can save, but not if you keep throwing yourself out of his hands

The punishment isn’t the death penalty but the consequences of evading cops and driving into a pond can be dying. Pulling over would have avoided that.

Whose bad choices, asshole? You seem to be conflating their choice not to wear a seatbelt while driving around at 4am with their living situations, which they have no say in. You could not be more transparent. You’re literally quoting passages of their family sobbing, devastated, and you decide to give everyone a Very…

They might have taken off their seatbelts to you know. Try and escape the car?

No one is saying they deserved to die. Everyone is saying that the actions of the girls directly caused their deaths. Not because of the inactions of the police.

being totally out of touch with reality.
