The pathetic state of these people is absolutely breathtaking.
If someone came to me and told me they were considering suicide over a fantasy film,i’d have to slap the crap outta them & tell them to snap out of it.
Ah... but to be able to convert it into tangible assets, that would make it a true gift!
Geeeeeeeeeeez....they must have forgotten about the continuous hunt that went on....the wild animals in the kill or be killed world of Pandora. Geeeeeez.
Losers.
You guys are hysterical.
Uh oh.
What piece of computer equipment are we directly responsible for destroying via liquid intrusion this time?
;-)
This is not going to end well.
At one time in my life, I seriously considered joining a commune with my wife. (Yeah, I'm dating myself)
This commune we almost joined was based on reality and real spiritual concerns not a fantasy dreamed up by some Hollywood radical
The main reason we didn't join was the simple realization we could not run away from what real or perceived issues we needed to address within our world.
You are 100 % correct this will not end well at all
Very true
My deespest apologies to tripe
I guess I shoulda said sewage :)
Don’t worry, diet soda doesn’t gum up the keyboard like stuff with sugar. And it’s too cold for ants.
Had me worried there.
Lotta luck with that.
"The final irony, of course, is that this entrancing vision of prelapsarian innocence is the product of the most ruthless and sophisticated money-machine the world has ever seen. With a budget of $237 million and with takings already at £1 billion [$1.6 billion], this exquisite capitalist guilt trip represents one of the great triumphs of capitalism."
Even without being so dramatic in the statement of it, the irony is that the fantasy of a beautiful all-natural world of beauty and harmony has only been made possible by the development of highly advanced, capitalism-enabled, post-industrial-era computer and imaging technology.
Actually, the story of how that project goes ought to be almost as entertaining as the movie.
Menudo. Famous Mexican hangover cure.
I do not doubt that Obama's highly irrational campaign activated many of these stunted people. But it did not begin with him.
One fundamental expression of the liberal mind is an infantile wish to be reunited with Mommy. Nirvana, the ultimate dissolution of the indiviudal, merged with everyone else. You see it in the "commune" impulse noted by others above. You see it in the iconic "Kumbaya." "We are the world." "I'd like to teach the world to sing." On and on it goes.
On the macro scale, it is seen in the intensely pathological "One World" impulse, It is made real by the traumatized Europeans, huddling together in the EU, hoping that by shacking up they will finally keep from killing each other. On and on it goes.
It is driven by the fear of separation and abandonment, which normal people resolve by the age of about six, and who go on to become adults and political conservatives.
An admirable quality. Good on you.
I thought the same thing. Most people who yearn to live in pristine nature have never actually tried it. It can be pretty deadly.
“I read a Book one time about a place where there was no crime - no wars - no pain and that people worshiped their God in a place called heaven. It didnt make me suicidal though but instead gave me hope after this life there was something better.”
Excellent.
