The baby was later released. Not sure if he’ll face trial. Not a very compelling witness.

It’s already been done.

Citizen Ruth (1996)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Citizen_Ruth

Citizen Ruth is a 1996 comedy film written by Jim Taylor and Alexander Payne. The film is the directorial debut of Payne. It stars Laura Dern in the title role of a poor, irresponsible and pregnant woman who unexpectedly attracts attention from those involved in the debate about the morality and legality of abortion.

As of 2014, Citizen Ruth remains to be the only Alexander Payne-directed film not nominated for any Academy Awards.

The thing is our nation will pay for it in some way.

It already has. 50 million Americans have been systematically murdered. That's even higher than what the Weather Underground figured it would take to effect social revolution in America.

50 million dead Americans. So when 30 million persons come from the southern border with no regard for laws (immigation, privacy, personal identity protections, taxes, voting, etc.), they don't "bloat" the system.

In England the Leftist (lesbian) politicians are saying that open border immigration is the only way to keep the tax coffers filled with the "natives" not replenishing the headcount as older generations die off.

Idiocracy is here.

Too self-centered, too eternally immature to raise the next generation of life in this country.

The history and traditions are fading away because the new people coming here didn't grow up with them and those who are here don't care to pass it along./I

Didn’t a foreign “comedy” about the Holocaust win an Oscar awhile back?

I unplugged from television in 2008. The ads (political, biased news breaks, movie ads, tv ads, etc.) even for things I was “not watching” became too pervasive. It would still hit the subconscious even if it was met with up front “rejection”.

I still watch movies and even a rare tv show, but on my terms, on DVD.

I don’t let the crass liberal corporate culture push the liberal agenda on me at every turn.

Another poster mentioned the “free Rolling Stone” issues for buying a ticket, Best Buy used to try that same sort of thing (free 6 issue magazine subscriptions for making a purchase). Free isn’t always free. It’s hyped nonsense owned by the parent company. It isn’t impartial journalism.

because they hurt and kill horses and cattle, and otherwise ruin the land.

They reproduce like mad, and eat their own, and they make good marksmanship practice.

The livestock steps in the holes and legs and ankles etc are broken.

RE :”Feminists have been grumpy for years about movies like “Juno” and “Knocked Up” sending a pro-life message.”

The liberal modern women here like “Sex in the City”

Bimbos picking losers to hook up with then meeting over coffee or wine to bitch about them.

“Life Is Beautiful”

So “ funny” I forgot it - thanks for the information. I’ve never seen it, never will.

Well, since there’s precedent set, maybe this bimbo can enter her abortion movie for Oscar consideration?!

Mass murder is mass murder, regardless of the setting.

I keep forgetting that my way is not better than God’s way.

I would like to see God’s people rise up and start cracking skulls, then the irony sets in.

Sex and the City: Gave susceptible women a completely and totally delusional opinion of both themselves and their value. They think they are princesses, entitled to what they consider ‘the best’, regardless of how gross, socially inept or just plain defective they really are.

That show is and was destructive to American society.

I am not claiming to be an expert as I couldn't tolerate more than a few minutes of that show at a time, but were the men they hooked up with good catches and they (the bimbos) just too ..ed up to appreciate them(the men) ?

Or did they pick losers?

Because apparently nothing sounds funnier than an unplanned one-night stand and a courageous destruction of God's most beautiful and most innocent creation.

This...and

Rolling Stone magazine described one scene of allegedly hilarious "empowerment" between female characters

show how hardened and far from God they are.

Actually it is.

The funny parts are the stories the father is telling his son to try to give him something to have other then the nightmares that surround them.

The only movie I can ever say that gave me such a "punched in the gut" feeling was Mister Roberts.

I never made it thru a complete episode, so I don’t know.
