Why Did Facebook Block Kirk Cameron’s New Movie?
Fox News Radio ^ | July 18, 2013 | Todd Starnes

It’s something of a social networking mystery.

Why did Facebook block Kirk Cameron’s upcoming faith-based movie, “Unstoppable”?

Cameron announced on his fan page Thursday that Facebook had blocked fans from posting any links to the website promoting his film because the content was labeled “abusive and unsafe.”

“We have been officially shut down by Facebook and unable to get any response from them,” Cameron wrote on his personal Facebook fan page. The film was made in partnership with Liberty University, the self-proclaimed largest Christian university in the world.

After Cameron alerted more than 500,000 Facebook fans of his predicament, the social networking site removed the block – without any explanation.

I was able to watch the trailer on youtube. I don’t know how to make the link clickable though.

Both facebook and youtube rely on automated processes. If a group can get enough people to flag an item as spam, malware, etc, then it gets blocked automatically.

I ran that by Rosie O’Donnell and she assured me the answer is ‘steel’.

It took me a while to find. Youtube and many other major servers banned this (I don't understand why)

she never actually cheated on him; he was watching porn on the internet all the time, and ignoring her, and she was fed up with it, and was thinking about leaving.

And she was tempted by another man who treated her kindly when her husband was lusting after other women and verbally abusing her.

Besides, what’s worse? His cheating by looking at a naked picture, or her cheating with a real dude?

Matthew 5:28: "But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart."

So the answer to your question is, they are equally bad. Both are the sin of adultery.

And there is no way to know if she would ever have gone through with sleeping with the guy, as the subject is never really broached. We know the guy probably just wanted to nail her, but maybe all she wanted was someone to treat her nice, and wouldn't have had sex until she was divorced and he married her.

I agree that the acting in Fireproof wasn’t that great - a little too stilted and wooden in some parts. But the message of the movie was great, and I recommend it to anyone who is married or is planning on being married.

I think you missed the point of the movie. And he doesn’t win her love back with cash. The whole point of that scene was that he gave up something that was important to him (getting a boat) to do something that was important to her (getting the equipment for her mother) - and did it without telling her or trying to get credit for it. I think it stressed the point that people know how we really feel about them by the way we act toward them when no one is looking - even them.
