Ultimately, the background of a film doesn’t bother me much if the final product is watchable.
Script changes happen all the time to please a or b. Various governments aren’t any different than your star wanting less, or more, nipple time.
But a film about cannibal sex traffickers could actually be good if approached cautiously.
Especially if, like Cannibal Children or K3: Prison in Hell, the victims overcome the odds and take bloody revenge.
I personally don’t like limitations on it though. Forget Yang, I’m more in Favour of Bernie and AOC’s idea.
And I’ve done the math for that plan. As low as 18% tax on the top 10 gross income companies. Gross, not net… taxes should be deduction free.
So at the 40%-49% commercial tax rates I support coupled with lower personal income taxes we pay for a minimum income grant annually with money left over just on those 10 companies!
Funny, no matter how many times I put forward the statement: where beyond gun rights and border security, do I show anything in common with Republicans, there’s always crickets.
Again, I didn’t say anything about The provider’s choice. Only the publishing of an article on a site that champions freedom when the very first line of the page praises the loss of a voice’s outlet.
… Kaepernick…
Wasn’t cut because he said things. He was cut because his play ability did not match the controversy he brought.
There have been plenty of bad-boys and controversial players over the years. Rod man and Barkley come to mind up top.
But you can go all the way back to Shoeless Joe.
Kaepernick wasn’t pushed out for being toxic or controversial. He was booted because he brought no vale for the “baggage”.
Among the loud cheering, do you really turn to the next guy cheering and tell him
As long as his actions were legal, within the confines of noise regulations,…
Yes.
Honestly, yes. I don’t complain about the man dumping beets at the subway for a bit of cash. I don’t complain about mr fire and brimstone on the corner.
Yes, I would be saddened. If any of those examples came to an end.
Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: millions will dump direct
The problem for people like me is that there are only two camps in politics that win elections at the national level. And they exist in both parties.
The likes of Clinton and Cheney who are top down pseudo-communists who wish to have sole control over money and dictate who gets what. The ones who are only there to get rich elsewhere.
And the likes of Cortez and Xander who want to strip all wealth and any chance of gaining it.
I have no problem with wealth. I do have a problem with greed.
The thing with Sanders was he really was after greed, not wealth. Which is why the party rigged the system to keep him out.
The one thing many of us independents liked in Trump was the unlikelihood he could be swayed by big money donors.
Someone who would look at the gold brick road of post-political options and yawn.
Someone who would not be swayed by someone else’s money.
But that’s the thing.
We’re a swing vote.
To borrow from philosophy:
We’re the group likely to vote for a member of the Church of Satan preaching ‘do as thou wilt’ over anyone who says ‘do as I say’.
Civilised anarchy? Maybe. But principally it’s the one least likely to remain lockstep. For better or worse: the one most likely disruptive to the ruling-class status-quo!
When a society fails to change and adapt it becomes stagnant. And we wind up with the 80s-2000s of two parties one team.
Obama was an outsider. Trump was an outsider.
But, I will still stand on my soap box and point out, here be a false lord of freedom. One who supports only speech he agrees with. One who defends only what he likes.
I understand your premise but it doesn’t undermine my argument.
Because ultimately I have a deep rooted support for freedom of expression.
If you don’t like it don’t look. Nobody forced you to watch OAN. Nobody forced you to read Lolita. Nobody forced you to play Doom or GTA.
Good luck getting me to give up my choice because you don’t like it.
And I’ll be damned if I ignore someone praising the silencing of others.
The creation of the headline here is opinion. And they have a right to it.
I have the right to point to that opinion and call it what it is, joy over reduced reach of a voice.
It’s not the choice of dumping a station I protest here; rather the joy shown when something gets removed.
Well the closest thing I can think of is Cannibal Children. 1983. In which child slave labourers overthrow their captors and eat them. Rather bloody little 50 something minute film though poorly done. A later import bootleg on VHS called it Cannibal Kids.
Part of my thought process in supporting a national monthly paid social security deposited minimum annual income, for every citizen, tax free, is it would give everyone an equal social starting point.
Having the needs covered upfront takes us in a very different direction of want to work rather than need.
A lot of positive side effects happen with that. Employment is no longer exploitive if they want to stay in business. You mistreat employees who are truly at will they simply quote and walk away.
And you don’t get grumpy have to be there employees dumping on every one else. They want to be there.
Microsoft has in recent times been a true champion of cross comparability.
Their discussions with Nintendo are but one.
They’re pushing more code to Linux than any other corporate group. They did and continue with o directly involve themselves with Parallels to establish windows usability on Mac.
Mac access to windows and Xbox software.
The owner of the ball has changed. Meaning the rules can be changed. But Microsoft has made it clear they want to play in the same court.
I think such concern is premature. I doubt Microsoft will wall off COD.
The company sells office cross platform. As far as submitting code to wine and forks to help stabilise use.
COD et al are cash cows. It’s unlikely they’d rather have a few hundred, maybe a few thousand, Xbox system sales than millions of title sales.
This is not the scorched earth Microsoft of olde. As long as PlayStation titles bring in dollars they’re likely to make PlayStation titles.
Then again… given Sony’s demands of censorship… I’m not going to loose sleep as they continue to bleed.
Because my comments are not about a provider and a service not renewing a contract. they are about the obvious joy in the loss of reach of the headline writer.
Only by proxy. I support all voices.
Karl Bode, here to me, or the author of the headline, if different, has given up their ability to champion free speech at face value now.
Just like OAN can say “babies ate my dingo” then headline author can say “finally”. But what you choose to say has consequences. One who is glad a voice has lost an outlet looses any currency in ‘defence of free speech’ discussion.
Do you have facts or just kneejerk false equivalence
Well, it’s not knee jerk. It’s the same reaction I have to any voice having reduced reach. I have no facts here, only opinion.
I don’t have ready access to OAN
I'm only reacting to the actual words you say
No, you react to what others mean when they say something. Not what I said.
Because you don't know what the word means?
Independents (re US politics) belong to neither major party.
