You weren't, and neither was I. Just stating an opinion.

American's have heroes and G-d to look up to. The heroes must be fearless and not hesistant to face death. And they must win. Americans understand that not all come back, but all win. God must be forgiving. He also is self-sacraficing.
American's expect the war to be over and the good guys winners after two hours. That is plenty time enough to get the job done with or without popcorn. If it takes longer, well, we'll just have to do it.
Americans also offer their sons and daughters without hesitation to preserve the liberty and peace of future generations of people they will never know.
Americans sometimes fly off the handle at people who don't understand how precious the jewel of freedom is. That's o.k. Sometimes the pressure just gets to them. After all, their sons and daughters have been lost.
Americans will forgive you for almost any transgression. They just want to live in peace and engage in commerce. Just don't try to prevent those two activities because Americans will make sure you will never be able to either. You will be dead.

My work is very dark and violent (I write fiction), but it doesn't revel in it the way this crap does. And its audience is teenaged boys who are in their twenties-through-forties. THAT is my major gripe with it--it's fashionable nihilism for boys. Despite it's literary pretentiousness, it's masturbatory entertainment for retarded growth cases, and it's a lot of BS. It's as stupid as kiddie comics but more corrupting, and people praise it for being "literary" when it's merely morally ambiguous, and boring to anyone who wants to be entertained beyond the level of a high school kid who's into death metal. You are conflicted. My whole family absolutely loved The Incredibles. It wasn't crap because it was sheer entertainment.

You are the conflicted one--I never said The Incredibles was crap--I haven't seen it, but have only heard positive things about it.

Let them fret over cartoons all they want; America is too busy bringing freedom and light to a dark world to care what others think of some aspect of its popular culture.

You are the conflicted one... Then your post was very ambiguous. Not a good thing for a writer-for-profit. I apologize for mis-re-dis-interpreting it.

Just because you can't understand what I wrote in context doesn't mean you have to be insulting. Maybe you've got self-esteem issues, but in the future, maybe you should read before you get snotty.

Remember after 9/11 when the critics all said that Hollywood would now abandon its irony and cynicism. It did--for about 5 minutes. Then back to the same old doom and gloom.
Well if you can't trust someone who's job is to read what someone else has written and pretend to be someone else, who can you trust?
I know whenever I'm confronted with a moral problem I ask my self "Self what would Jennifer Lopez do in a situation like this?"
But for geopolitic's I like to look to Brad Pitt or Barbra Streisand for guidance.

Your response was too ambiguous...groan was correct in his assessment of your pair of paragraphs.
If you need help, I am perfectly capable of pointing out, quite specifically and line-by-line how and where you were ambiguous.
But hey...you get paid for it so apparently your ambiguity in your writing serves to allow people to find their own messages in it...even if they're the opposite of your intent.
