The last "Oscar" type movie I watched, about 10 years ago, was Rachel Getting Married and let me tell you, I have spent a better two hours at the dentist. That was Hell.
I am inclined to agree with you. Some Blexit friends have been up in arms about this. I let them know that us white folk have been under the heavy P.C. boot for a long time and that one never joked about the protected classes of people. Ask them if they recall Rosanne being fired from her show at abc over a joke? Or that poor young woman razed on stage at a rap concert for singing the lyrics to the song that included the n word in it.
You have a bad case of privileged if you think the P.C. rules dont apply to your group.
Anyway, I am personally so very happy to be free to say, Merry Christmas!
Thank-you, President Trump!
I think what must eventually happen is that people will start to shy away from social media and it will all go the way of MySpace.
I agree. I thought Franken stole the election and I disagreed with him on every opinion, but I supported him in this.See comment #13 to see the idiocy in your thinking.
Your way of thinking is part of the problem.
Solution? Use the phone for actually speaking to someone for a change.
See the little faggot with the earring and the make up
Yeah buddy that's his own hair
That little faggot got his own jet airplane
That little faggot he's a millionaire.
Now, what is the punishment for such Blasphemy? On the other side of the Coin, where is the outrage that somebody has decided to censor the work of a Musical Artist?
Remember the screams of horror when Ted Turner “colorized” some old Black and White Movies? I do. BTW- FR Spellcheck doesn't like the word "faggot" either.
> “No one wants to sit through a 4-hour lecture celebrating movies about how oppressive, racist, unfair, unjust, nasty, etc., the country is only to be subjected to a 30 second speech reinforcing the same from someone paid more for 3 weeks worth of playing make-believe than the average American earns in a year.”
PRC China.
Backdoor propaganda.
Actor A-Holes will do any sort of gig for that kind of $$$. They be Hos first.
Exactly. There is no standards. Part of any standard should be are the "award nominee films and actors" year to year better than previous award winners. If the answer is negative then leave the Oscar for Best Picture, actor, etc vacant.
Announce on LIVE TELEVISION...There were no films released this year that have met the standard for an Academy Award. The nominees were deficient in X, Y, or Z. For those reasons we are not awarding a prize this year.
Might actually scare the film execs into doing things that people want to see rather than stroke their ego's.
You have five or six turds to choose from.....they are still turds. Why would you award a turd.
That’s good. Sticks and stones is a lesson fairly missing from the current generation. Also, MYOB, Mind Your Own Business—people are so up in everybody else’s business these days they need to sit down shut up and do the right thing. sheeesh. for a change.
Yep, nobody jokes like that. nobody.
Too right. It’s part of the orwellian notion of controlling the masses through control of language. Years ago, speech was defined as “verbal conduct” in order to selectively punish it, and crimes against property and people redefined as “expression,” to forever permit riots and violence from the left.
“Throughout history it[the revolution[ always has eaten its own.”
Well, except ours.
> Why do people fear basement dwelling keyboard komandoes? I can understand how doxing can be a problem, but darned if I would bend over backward for something I said, particularly in jest.
Independently wealthy?
For the rest of us, its rather uncomfortable when the crazies who insist on Total Social Conversion are your employer, your boss/manager/whatever, your clients, or other persons whose whim can tank ones career, income, reputation and potentially freedom (not so much here yet, but ask Tommy Robinson).
I know that’s what happened to me. Once I found out Facebook and the rest were tracking me all the time, I felt they can have everything else but Ill be damned if I’ll give them access to my THOUGHTs.
Correct. We are the exception.
Members of a social bubble are being given “awards” by members of the social bubble. Ultimately they’re worthless in terms of significance. I picture it like forming a “special group” among my neighbors and having us award ourselves trophies for achieving little to nothing.
Geez that’s the best verse. Without that verse the song doesn’t really make sense.
Under the reign of the Ocasio-Cortezes, that will also be monitored for correctspeak. Don’t think it’s not coming; obama started the snowball.
Even as in the larger society, the left has a two tiered system of social justice. While some can be discarded as yesterday’s news, others are forgiven, or at least their misgivings are ignored.
