"Nothing ignorant about hurting people and sick kids ... what crap"

Old dude- please try to pay attention. I agree with you, hurting people and sick kids is wrong.   

Here is the tough part that people just aren't grasping - NO ONE who has commented here has seen the film. You are simply talking out of your ass when you state that it was said "as an insult". You just do not know in what context it was said.   Was the person or person using the phrase being portrayed as vile? I would hope so. YOU just don't know, so when everyone make claims without having seen the film, you are following in the paths of the bookburners who never stopped to read the book.

I have not seen the film, and if the term was used to get a laugh, then it is very wrong and deserves to be boycotted.   However, I have yet to hear someone who has seen the film make the claim. I just hear a lot of blind followers who get sucked in by the media, many of the same people who always complain about how the media uses people.   I hate to tell you to look in the mirror, but you aren't thinking for yourself!
