Subject: RE: BS: Retard - The 'R' word
(shrug) No big deal, I assure you. I'm not particularly upset...just a bit annoyed. I'm bored by this kind of discussion. I'm just really tired of seeing various self-righteous advocacy groups (from the extreme right wing religious types to the ultra-liberals to the gays to the anti-abortion people to the whatever the heck they are) raising absolute hell outside movie queus, that's all. They should just ignore the damn movie and not go to see it if they don't like it, seems to me.
I'm offended by every dumb action movie that comes out which promotes the Rambo-style flag waving philosophy of "an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth"...but so what? I don't spend money on those movies. Neither do I picket them, wave a sign around, and raise hell with the people who wish to attend the movie, nor do I try to make them feel guilty about it. I just don't contribute to it by buying a ticket. THAT's the effective way to demonstrate your opinion.
You follow me? I accept that the world is not all like me, they don't all do what I would do or like what I would like, and that's perfectly okay.
