I think it's more about my view of it from how I saw it as a teenager, not how I'd see a new movie like that now.

Make sense?

I do think it's really nuts to take today's societal expectations and apply them to stuff from decades prior.
I think that might be more a function of the stupefying of our society more than anything.

And they did nothing wrong. They just thought it would be a cute pose, and it was.
Sez you. I find that people when caught doing or supporting something that may be offensive to someone else - when informed of the social error - no matter how gently will respond full bore - claiming that it is they who are under attack, when all they had to do is acknowledge that someone else may be offended by their actions and be done with it. It is in overblown defense that most times indicates they know they are wrong - but are embarrassed to admit it.

A group of white people. A dress of Chinese culture. A Hindu gesture. No matter how benign, how can you say that it has nothing to do with race or ethnicity when the picture says otherwise? Nobody has asked you to go to a "re-education" camp. Just to be aware of what you are putting into the world. Is that really so much of a burden to you?

Personal responsibility and all that.

I doubt her prom was ruined at all.
once again we have a "she wouldn't have been raped if she hadn't worn that skimpy dress" comment.

seriously?


do you also argue that women in suggestive clothing are asking to be sexually harassed/raped?

Sorry, could you explain this further? Even googling "Papa Bless" gets me nowhere close to this issue. How does "Papa Bless" relate to the Namaste gesture?

No, but I think you trying to connect the two is very funny, in a Marmaduke comic strip kind of funny.

This thread has taught me that certain types of hatred are perfectly fine while other types of .... non-liberal approved.... behaviors are indeed both to be hated, and are acts of hatred even if they are not acts of hatred.




thank you crazy people of the left for showing the world your bigotry.

They're not wrong, they were just making a cute pose, that apparently had something to do with Pappa John's Pizza. But it's too late for me, they won't let me off of the bus headed to the re-education camp! Thankfully they have let me keep my cell phone, but it seems they have blocked me from accessing 4chan and Alex Jones's youtube channel!


Pray for my soul!
