Heh, heh -- keep reading...I already conceded that good point.

[valkyrieanne]

What an honor to have one's film hated by everyone.

[ellery]

I don't see it that way, though. If the assertion is that it's okay for people to vandalize cinemas for a good cause, but not okay for people to vandalize them for a bad cause, there has to be some authority who decides whether someone was justified in vandalizing a cinema, or whether they should be arrested for it. In the case of the colonists, they knew they would get in trouble with the authorities, but they did it anyway.

So, to clarify: are you saying that people who vandalize cinemas in what you see as a good cause should be arrested, but given moral support by those who agree with their cause? Or are you saying that if people vandalize in a good cause, they should not be arrested for it?

[Ignatz]

Yeah, I was a little fast on the Send key......

[Ignatz]

Well, I refuse to comment further until I see the scene in question. In the interest of engaging in good public discourse, of course.

[ellery]

I should know better than to use words like "always" and "never." :)

Indeed. So attempting to censor those who are protesting against a certain book or film would be wrong. (Not saying you would do that.)

They should be allowed to protest if they want, I just think they're foolish to do so, since it's none of their business if someone wants to watch a film about lesbians or not.

[Aquinasfan]

Censorship is BAD.

Why?

I'm no fan of the gay-lesbian lifestyle but if someone wants to make or view a film about it, that's their right.

God gives us the right to do evil?

Anyone want to join me in "redecorating" some movie theaters this weekend?

We're so lucky in my town we have a female porn star making a special appearance tonight.

The dark side will continue to make inroads until the problem elements are dealt with, legally or otherwise (the legal attempts have failed).

THANK YOU WOODMAN! Great work.

For those who don't know about Indian lesbian flicks, I can say that Fire was okay.

[Modernman]

There are open butt cowboy and rug muncher groups in India? Things are worse than I thought.

God forbid people form groups to lobby government for change.

[Modernman]

Liberals vandalizing theaters showing The Passion is not morally equivalent to decent people vandalizing a theater showing Farenheit 9/11.

There is no difference. Unless you own the theatre, you have no right to vandalize it. If you don't like what's showing at the theatre, open your own theatre.

[Modernman]

Ah, the tactics of the left. You have soulmates in ELF and A.N.S.W.E.R.

[steve86]

No, you have all the tactics of the left -- spelled
T O L E R A N C E (for evil)

A movie about two chicks getting it on is an excuse for vandalism and destruction of property? Hey, I have an idea, if a movie offends you: DON'T WATCH IT.

Whether you believe in him or not, Satan is proud to have people with your leanings as members.

[tortoise]

One thing that goes without saying, those girls are gorgeous. And lesbian. Oh my...

[Modernman]

Whether you believe in him or not, Satan is proud to have people with your leanings as members.

Yawn. Yes, those of us who believe that you should not vandalize other peoples' property are the pawns of satan.

Anyway, I don't fear some silly supernatural being invented by people barely out of the stone age.

And the chicks in this movie are hot.

Enough said.
