I guess I should feel ashamed. I'm a loving dad and I'm teaching my daughter too except she uses a Ruger 10/22 and we aren't screeming death to anyone when we practice.
Billy Zane's excuse is that he's Billy Zane, and its his first paycheck since his "stellar" "performance" in The Phantom.
Nope.
But I remember life before television and freeways. And cars before automatic transmissions which couldn't go up long, steep hills on hot days without adding water.
"Bernd Neumann, the culture minister in Chancellor Angela Merkel's government complained last week that the reaction to the film "raises serious questions about the values of our society and our ability to instil them"."
Herr Audi Schroeder won two elections on an anti-American platform. Germany has a long history of rallying against an outside enemy. Why would any German be surprised. This is Germans as usual, hating an external enemy. That enemy is the USA, just as it's been for 100 years.
wow..ya got me!
You should see what the idiots at IMDB are saying about Zane...he's a hero to those idiots. Why do Americans hate America so much? I truly don't undertand.
No, nothing wrong with telling the truth. But let's get real. Americans treated the Indians badly. Indians treated each other badly. Indians treated Americans badly.
And of course there were also nice, honorable people on all sides too.
Are the Germans trying to pretend that they never killed anybody? Are the Turks pretending that they never killed anybody? What happened to all those civilizations that the Turks overran when they invaded what is now called Turkey? What happened to the Armenians?
In other words, telling the truth is one thing, but slanting the truth and channeling hatred at one target is something else. Why should the Germans be surprised that their Turkish immigrants hate the Jews, when the German leftists have been teaching them to hate the Jews? Why should they be surprised that they hate the Americans when they have been teaching them to hate the Americans. And, incidentally, they have been teaching them to hate the Germans, which they will soon find is a worse problem.
I doubt the Germans would have been all that disturbed if it had only been viciously anti-American. Not that I think that they now love their Jews, either. I think anti-Semitism upsets them because they are obsessed (as they should be) with trying to wash away the stain of genocide, a stain that will be remembered as long any civilization remains on earth (which might not be all that long).
LOL! Osama & Bert..give the moovie five veils. LOL!
Thanks. LOL!
The Turks are Muslim. How can a Muslim be your friend?
What part of "do not take the jews and the Christians for friends'"don't we understand? - tom
Koran: 5.51: O you who believe! do not take the Jews and the Christians for friends; they are friends of each other; and whoever amongst you takes them for a friend, then surely he is one of them; surely Allah does not guide the unjust people.
"...two billion Muslims...
They've doubled their claim."
That means twice as many that US citizens will have to take out...since our government is allowing this scourge to overrun us and the world.
I concur.
"It's in all the history books. Should lefties by silenced for telling the truth?"
Grant Foreman is seen as giving the most researched death toll for the Trail Of Tears, his estimate is 1,846. There were Indians before the Trail of Tears and Indians after the Trail of Tears,so"Who told these arab youths that Americans killed all the Indians? None other than our American ... leftists."
I had to look up a pic of Billy Zane. I still do not know how the heck he is. I recognize the Bussey idiot. Hard to forget his giant size teeth.
Looking at your picture back there, it looks like the slams are centuries away from the don't run with scissors stage of civilization.
How many Academy Awards has this movie been nominated for?
Did you see TITANIC??? He was the evil guy engaged to Kate Winslet...handsome.
"When a cartoonist insults two billion Muslims it is considered freedom of opinion, but when an action film takes on the Americans it is considered demagoguery. Something is wrong."
Small detail: Mentioning that Islam is a violent religion is true. Saying that the US military is cuts out Iraqis' organs is false. Something wrong indeed!
Yes, I've seen Titanic. Thank you, I recall him now.
liberallarry: I do not want to get into it with you, but I can not move on without just saying that I hold the most profound contempt for what you have offered here, waving the bloody shirt of crimes a century and a half old to feed murderous anger toward America today. It disgusts me. An eloquent poster, Cicero, has already delivered a polite, but devastating, critique of your comment. It is just my disgust that I must tag on here. I don't care about your signup date or anything else about you. I hope I will not encounter you again.-30-
