When Leo read the book he said it was the most "personal and embarrassing thing" he'd ever read. The intent isn't to glamorize anything. And the movie doesn't.

I've seen this movie twice already. It's an absolutely excellent film. Leo and Scorsese can't even remotely be faulted for their performances. Their work was superb.

Why? They've made absolutely amazing films together.

And, conversely, of all the noble causes in the world, ensuring that a racist homophobe doesn't have his own TV show.... that's on the top of these gawker slacktivists' list?

Your worldview is that people who have worldviews are crazy?

"In order for my views to be treated with respect, I demand that people who don't agree with my views to not be treated with respect."

I'm an atheist, but basically every Christian I've ever talked to disavows the silliness in the Old Testament. They claim that the New Testament is what really matters and, silly as it is, it doesn't have nearly as much absurd nonsense as the Old Testament... though it is still not gay-friendly by any stretch.

Are you kidding? Have you seen the nonsense Beiber has been doing to try to be considered a "man" and not a boy? It's included staged photo events at brothels, interviews with working gals who said he was packing, abs, etc, etc

"Miley Cyrus didn't dance around in her underwear for me. "

Miley

Wouldn't she lose to basically every professional male tennis player though?

"Is this a joke? Are you seriously insinuating that fat people are never wrong, and that the only reason people get annoyed with someone who happens to be fat is because they are fat? In your world do fat people ever do wrong? "

"Now a humble person might that that feedback as an opportunity to self reflect, and perhaps become a better person. "

""I'm pretty much obsessed with etiquette and politeness..."

One time, I took a picture of the swamp-ass of a large, sweaty, guy who sat next to me on a flight when he was "de-boarding" the plane. It wasn't a fun flight.

Best thing: Sitting by no one. Worst thing: Sitting by a fat person who sweats and smells.

Those are all acceptable and do not contribute to rape culture. But don't you dare make an "offensive" joke or the internet mob will see that you're fired!

Valid point. The cost makes it a non-starter for almost everyone, but if a person can afford it, it is more practical than every small car.

Jezebel is hypocritical elitism in its rawest form.

I'm not sure if "racist" and "homophobic" are actually the right terms to use. I'd say that things like "backward" and "ignorant" are more appropriate. Do you really think that this guy HATES African Americans and gay people? I'd say that he seems to genuinely care about people, regardless of their differences, but…
