Pretty bad writing to be honest

grasshopper rex 1 points 2 minutes ago.

I can’t disagree with that, but it is Star Wars. I doubt they’ve ever won a major award for screenwriting. I can’t recall them ever even being nominated. They have won a couple of Saturn Awards in that category, but that doesn’t really count. Star Wars excels at 2 things, special effects and musical scores. Let’s face it, it isn’t even good science fiction writing. To the best of my knowledge, none of the books have ever won any awards. It’s filler material for a mass market.

Alien 3 points yesterday*.

Holy cow! I had goosebumps the entire time. What a hot band they were at their peak. And this was their peak. Glenn Frey and Randy Meisner with the voices of angels. Don Henley with the grit in his. Don Felder, the consummate guitarist and Joe Walsh, always the cool joker. They had a blast with Rocky Mountain Way! This was some of the best of the 70’s.

P.S. Did I mention the amazing harmonies? Well, I will.

Piglet 3 points 3 hours ago.

Yes, the late 60’s and the 70’s brought in a new sound. I was in high school during the 70’s and watching American Bandstand was a Saturday ritual for me and my brother. And Friday night was the midnight special. That is where I saw Rod Stewart for the 1st time. Never could get into Soul Train though. I was lucky enough to see the Eagles perform at a Walmart stockholders meeting. And ironically, today is the Walmart stockholders meeting and glad I don’t live in the area! Traffic is a nightmare the whole week.

I hate it that Adam and Malia are acting like they don’t know each other, when they even slept together before going on the show. It’s so fake on their part. It just puts me off watching them interact with everybody else on the boat. Such a liar that Adam. Especially Adam.

It angers me how little discussion there is about the victims in cases like this. Vice touches on it a bit in this, but in general the focus is almost always on the offenders. You can see the lack of public education on it in how most people think of sex trafficking and who the majority seem to think the victims of such are. It’s demonstrated perfectly when people call the offenders in this case pedophiles, and that plays into many misconceptions about child sexual abuse. I’m not going on a lengthy attempt to try to educate people here, but if you are interested, there is an excellent article on the subject in the Scientific American. Google Pedophiles, Hebephiles and Ephebophiles, Oh My: Erotic Age Orientation.

Most child sexual abuse is committed by hebephiles, those sexually attracted to children between the ages of 11-14, and ephebophiles, those sexually attracted to children between the ages of 15-19. Ephebophilia is the largest driver of child sex trafficking. If I had to speculate as to why we don’t talk about it is that the attraction is far more common than anyone wants to admit.

These misconceptions about child sex trafficking are what angers and frustrates me the most. The public conversation is almost exclusively focused on the rarest form of child sexual abuse, true pedophilia, and more important conversations are ignored. While there isn’t a lot of data out there about how post-pubescent, underage children become involved in sex trafficking, what there is suggests that most of them are troubled kids from unstable homes. Many were sexually abused as children, and many are runaways. While some involved are raped and forced into trafficking, many are coerced and manipulated through drug addictions, a place to stay, and a need for money to survive.

When we don’t have these discussions about whom the victims are, how they came to be such, we also don’t talk about how we can prevent this from happening to other children. We are failing, as a society, when we allow ourselves to be misinformed and misled by the more sensationalized focus on conversations about child sex trafficking that involves true pedophilia, the least common form of sex trafficking.

Merrigan Able 1 points 6 hours ago.

Thankyou for sharing your deep insight and knowledge on this tricky subject. I am very happy to see that mods have not removed any of your posts.
What are your thoughts about people that are considered ‘sex addicts’, in that - their compulsion is not solely specific (pedophilic). They have a sexual ‘appetite’ for everything and anything, which they pursue > even to the utter ruination of all family relationships, and to their own destruction?

You are so right, these deviants are sensationalized, almost idolized in some twisted way, akin to the whole’ true crime’ mania with serial killers, et cetera. I admit my own fascination with a particular type of predator, because of my own life experience. I’ve wanted to understand why, which seems a sad cliché… It might surprise (some) people of how prevalent and historical these destructive human behaviours, are. As unsavoury and awful as it might be, children need to KNOW that ‘NO ONE’ has the right to touch them, without their okay. EVEN family members. That their bodies belong to them only, and that they too, have human rights. They are not the ‘property’ of anyone > even mum & dad…What school of learning would teach > or is teaching that, to kids anywhere - anytime?

I’ll concede the point about Doctor Who, but to say you’ve been very complimentary is a stretch. lol

I’m not interested in this conversation enough to search back through your very lengthy comment history, you’re as chatty in the comments as I am if not more :), to find other examples, but it’s not my imagination.

Yes, you said if you like it then great, but you preceded that with your opinion that the show isn’t good, which you had already said in the previous comment that was removed, and then you followed that up with an illogical false equivalency and bashed the show again when you told him he liked stuff that is mediocre and should just accept it, which is very confrontational, and then repeated for the 3rd time in that response that you think the show is bad.

A bit of advice from someone who has been there and done that, if your comment is removed by a mod, that’s a strong hint that you should let it drop and move along.

You wouldn’t have to search far it’s literally the second line in my response to the person in question. Why my comment was removed is unknown to me as nothing was said in that comment that wasn’t a lie with there being nothing that goes against terms of service or anything like that and thank you for the advice but that’s not me as i’m the kind that will fight for something that he cares deeply for and Star Wars is and always will be one of those things.

Why does it bother you so much that some people might like something you don’t ? Your opinion is not the only one that has value. And no, saying “If you don’t like prequels for fear of spoilers then don’t watch them” has nothing to do with the quality of the show at all. You’ve already given your opinion of the show here, many times now, can’t you let others have a differing opinion without contradicting them? You can’t bully people into sharing your opinion. I’m only saying something now because this is a pattern I’ve seen you do many times before. Dr Who, Star Trek properties, other Star Wars properties, to name a few.

After watching the doc, which is imo well balanced and as objective as it can be, I see the discussions here not being about the documentation itself but about everyones own point of view, prejudices and theories on how people with power and influence “run” the world.

I am open to alternative theories in regards to e.g. Epsteins death, but as long as there is no proof, it will never be more than a theorie. Can I believe he killed himself because he knew that he had to face the consequences of his actions? Absolutely. Can I imagine he got killed because of the knowledge he had and he might have communicated in a trial? Absolutely.

grasshopper rex 3 points 19 hours ago.

Is it really such a stretch of the imagination that overworked jailers might just be bad at their jobs, or jail equipment might be old and faulty? I can speak from experience that both are very possible.

The funny thing about conspiracy theories is that their believers don’t need any proof. Their feelings about it allow them to ignore any evidence or explanations to the contrary. They only seek out “information” that supports what they already believe, while condemning anything and anyone that proposes any other scenario. You can see that here. “If you don’t see this as I see it, you suffer from cognitive dissonance and lack critical thinking skills.” Almost everyone approaches things with a bias that blinds them, to varying degrees, to anything that doesn’t conform to that bias.

I don’t like cops, the rich, or perverts, but it is really not that hard to believe that this is exactly what they say it is.

I did not think I was going to like this one. I found it slow, but at the same time there was a lot going on so there was no down time.

When I started watching this series I thought that it was going to be too silly for me to keep going, but I did, and I am glad I stuck with it. This turned out to be a fantastic series; the story was brilliant. I enjoyed all the story arcs, the acting, and the scenery. And the way that the writers ended the story was perfect. I will keep this one on my to-watch list because I would like to watch it again some day.

While I appreciate the sentiment, what does justice look like in this case, and how do you possibly prove the child would not have been harmed?

It’s way past time that we stopped enslaving and caging animals for our pleasure and entertainment. We claim to be a society that abhors animal cruelty, yet torture like this still persists. We delude ourselves that modern zoos with larger spaces and simulated habitats are less horrible, but it’s like comparing state prisons to federal ones and given that the inmates are innocent of any crime, it’s no less than an atrocity.
