I'm appalled.
Welcome to our new day, folks.
Sacrifice? What's that?

Robbiej,
I have the utmost respect for veterans, but "Saving Private Ryan" is way too violent for me.

Posted: 11/11/04 at 11:44amlol, ya caught me, pip. i don't actually remember it all that well having seen it late at night while in an altered state. in fact the only scene that still leaps out at me was one in which the creature was infused with some special ingredients.

Posted: 11/11/04 at 11:55amActually, TheGa, the language is the thing that the affiliates are afraid of--not the violence that shows the realities of war, realities people need to see.

Posted: 11/11/04 at 12:02pmOur new "values" obsessed culture in this country can turn off RYAN and watch hot babes in spandex eat live roaches on FEAR FACTOR or bear any other flavor of human indignity for the almighty dollar. The idea of showing the reality of soliders is just too unpleasant. "Support Our Troops" means think of them as GI Joe dolls Anywhere But Here Defending Freedom. God forbid we should show that war is hell, not something reduced to a bumper sticker on the SUV. This is just part of the new right's influence, and of course, more critically, more evidence of the dumbing down of America.

Posted: 11/11/04 at 12:42pmthe way i hear it is that george told dick to tell scalia to call eisner and tell him that if they showed ryan uninterrupted that it would surely lead to widespread panic in the streets and mass hysteria that american soldiers were being slaughtered on the beaches of france just as it had when it aired on veteran's day in 2001 and two days before veteran's day in 2002. he was further instructed to tell mike to inform the powers that be that should they insist upon airing it that they could count on not only record fines (high enough to make the nipple-gate fines seem like the penny ante stakes from whitewater-gate), but that desperate housewives , lost and monday night football would be taken from them and awarded to fox.

Oh the FCC won't zap stations playing this movie:
Violence=good
Breasts=bad
"Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.”

You should learn to use upper case letters and some punctuation.

i explained when i began posting here why i don't use capital letters. wanna read it? look it up on the main board. see back then there was no off topic board. amazingly enough though you're, i think, the first to have a problem with it. or at least the first to be so crass as to mention it without realizing that i have never and will never use them. not here.
as far as punctuation goes, the first sentence, while long (sorry to make you have to digest more than one soundbyte at a time) is grammatically correct. as is the rest of the post save for an extra space before a comma which is a result of formatting issue (i'm still a little weak on html). before casting aspersions on someone's literacy, you might want to pick up a copy of holt's elements of language. they have some fine remedial exercises which can help you bone up on the mechanics of sentence structure. see also the sections on punctuation.

ga, is this gonna be a repeat of the breast cancer thread? 'member how well that one worked out for ya? you recall, don't you, the thread in which you were bashing people for "shilling", as you put it, a site trying to up their hit quota so as to be able to offer free mammograms? the dirty b*st*rds!
