I really don't care too much for these race based movies. They usually end up demonizing white people.

Well I can tell you if I went to Vietnam or Korea I wouldn't see a bunch of white people there. Xenophobia is a normal human/animal trait. He can brainwash someone else with his one world vision.

Any society with racial diversity will have racial issues. That's because each of the races have unique aspects about their abilities, appearance, beliefs, etc. They can of course vary but there is always more common traits in each race. The higher ups try to deny this because inevitable more negative traits will be called out on. They'll never have an answer for the positive traits though. Jews are more intelligent than any other race and any study will show that. It will always show that. There could be 100 Jews in the world and they'd still win Nobel prizes in science. Now if I say Jews are greedy and masters of usury I'll be called a bigot. Acknowledge that they have higher intellect and I'll just be ignored.

I also laugh at his celebratory film of the terrorist Nelson Mandela. Of course he wouldn't make a movie about how black South Africans kill white South African farmers in the South Africa Mandela help build. He also wouldn't dare speak of Mandela singing songs about killing white people (which you can easily find on youtube) since he's a coward and your typical Hollywood phony. No, instead he makes a movie with the uber liberal Matt Damon praising the great black people who only suffer and never are in the wrong themselves.

I like Letters from Iwo Jima but then again, as he apparently is, I'm a big fan of Japanese people and not just the present ones. Plenty of heroes on their side in WW2.

What the hell are you talking about?

I was under the impression it was a comedy.

Some funny moments, but definitely not a comedy. Basically, its about an old bigoted Korean war vet who grudgingly befriends a Hmong (from Vietnam or Laos I think) family that lives next door to him and assist them in a struggle with a street gang.

    • Same. I would prefer a MNF game earlier in the season. As if more likely has some significance in case things go south this season. If we perform well enough we could even get another game forced to a Sunday night spot later in the season. 
    • Wanted to jump into this thread. Although I do not post anymore I do look in as there are a few old friends around. Loved hearing some of the names you mentioned.  Another  oldie is NanceUSMC.  He is the one who got me here from the old Observer forum.  Good guy and smart football guy. I have learned a lot from a lot of good Huddlers over the years, Over time. we have sadly lost a few who left this earth too soon.  Anyone who know of someone, it would be nice to try to make a list.  One of the more recent, CosmoGirl,  was someone that kind of hit hard.  Life sucks sometimes. Some of the best times were when we had our own tailgate and could meet up in person.  I think it made us better. Several dedicated volunteers, lead by LiverMush, started setting things up in the wee hours of each gameday morning.  Don't know all those regulars but I remember JakeFlake was one.  For you newbies...each game,  a Huddler (or a group) sponsored the food for each tailgate.  Eating was free but a donation was asked for.  At the end of the year those donations were used to buy bicycles for Toys for Tots.  Over the years Huddlers bought a lot of new bikes for kids for Christmas.  (I am guessing a couple of hundred each year.)  We had a good time getting together, got to make friends in person, and then got to feel like you were doing something good. It was truly a community. I got to meet Dan Morgan at one of our tailgates...he brought pizza from his restaurant.  How many of you remember that?  Glad the restaurant did not make it....lol. Not only have people changed, and come and gone.....but the entire nature and purpose has changed. Nothing lasts forever and we move on but we still like to think about good times. Same reason we take pictures. Want to ask a question I have not seen anyone else mention......who remembers    "The Couch" ?  We have argued, laughed, lived the ups and downs of football and dealt with a little real life along the way.  A thanks to  the Mods who keep this going.  I am sure they sacrifice a lot of their time out of love for the forum and the Panthers. Take care my friends and be well.  I will close with my new favorite quote which I think is greatly needed in these difficult times.        
    • My top-5 JAGS: 1. Tommy Tremble: May not ever be top-tier, but has been solid and you never doubt the effort. 2. Cade Mays: Not bad for a 6th rounder. Hated to see him go. 3. Brady Christensen: One of the most versatile backup OLs in the NFL. Hopefully we re-sign him. 4. Trevis Gipson: Quietly was really solid depth last season. Glad we brought him back. 5. Brycen Tremayne: Has been solid depth at WR, flashing at times last year.
