[Borges]

So you're suggesting everyone who loves American movies is the enemy of Western civilization? I've heard hyperbole but you take the cake.

[Captain Peter Blood]

Yeah the rest of us, you know the War, SS, Taxes, etc., the really important stuff.

[balrog666]

Holy crap! See what happens when you don't go to movies? I hadn't even heard about this movie. Is it really that bad?

They haven't been either.

[Antoninus]

I'd hate to be in Clint Eastwood's shoes on the day of reckoning. I mean, I've committed no end of sins in my life, but evangelizing the virtue of death and murder to the whole world isn't one of them...

Repent, Clint, repent.

[A CA Guy]

Clint is a Libertarian who only registers as a Republican to vote in more primaries.
He is probably pro mercy killing, homosexuality, pornography, drugs and the rest if he is the Libertarian he says he is.

[A CA Guy]

He's a Libertarian, so he could say lots of crazy stuff.

[Antoninus]

Or could be that "the quality of life" or "freedom of choice" or "none of your business" is being promoted?

Sure, if you live by semantic differences. Are you so naive to think that "affirmative action" is anything other than a pretty name for racial preferences? Or that "pro-choice" means having the right to choose butter over Parkay rather than the "choice" have your living, unborn child dismembered, brained, and vaccuumed out of your uterus?

Don't be an @sshole! He said his personal opinion matches the priest in the movie. Or, like the other hysterical idiots, did you not see the movie at all?

[balrog666]

Gee, did you forget to watch the movie too?

[Antoninus]

You mean those who wish to control their own life, their own destiny? Do you have a problem with that? My my, how "Christian" of you.

It's not at all Christian to believe that we "control our own destiny." Seems to me that one fellow in particular once believed that and made his point by saying "Non serviam." Thus do all of his followers today.

[A CA Guy]

So you are saying Clint isn't anti-life in politics, just real stupid. That should make us want to go patronize this horrible film? NO.

[lonestar]

Or could be that "the quality of life" or "freedom of choice" or "none of your business" is being promoted?

Or, it could be that none of the above is being "promoted."

[Antoninus]

I don't patronize movies with culture of death themes. You're welcome to do so, but I'm very glad Michael Medved let this particular cat out of the bag.

Not like I was going to waste my time on a movie about a woman boxer, anyway. What's next, a movie about a male wetnurse?

[bray]

Why is it Liberals seem to agree with about 90% of what the Nazis did during the Holocaust??

Pray for W and Our Troops

[Pompah]

It was just a Movie. A Motion Picture. A Film Play.

And IMO a damn good flick with some great acting preformances. A slice of how things are in some peoples
world. It was a Movie with a sad,and disturbing ending.

But it Was Only a Movie. Lighten up. Worry about things that matter.

[balrog666]

So you are saying Clint isn't anti-life in politics, just real stupid.

NO! I'm saying you idiots are really stupid to judge a performance that you have never seen. Duh!

[balrog666]

Not like I was going to waste my time on a movie about a woman boxer, anyway. What's next, a movie about a male wetnurse?

Would that be you?

[A CA Guy]

Perhaps they are just sick in their spirits and minds. Or they inherited their biases from their parents or working conditions.

It's real hard to say.

[richmwill]

I am a proud Christian, who has a documented and notarized living will. But "quadraplegic" or "paralyzed" isn't on my list of things to pull the plug over!
