It’s amazin...Yes, both you and Jones are correct. <br /><br />It’s amazing how the contagiously harmful filth Hollywood produces is sacrosanct under their literalist interpretations of the First Amendment. Now Jennifer Lawrence — a highly-talented actress — is parading around her right to make whatever crappy films she wants. Fine, but we the people retain the right to not attend. Let’s see how that works out. There are only so many weirdos in the world who will go see Lawrence’s other disgusting movie “Mother.”<br /><br />Meanwhile, in other post-Parkdale news, the plainly-written Second Amendment is universally despised by the acting “community,” held to be an anachronism that must be done away with. <br /><br />“Time’s up,” eh? Be careful what you wish for. We can choose to ignore other Constitutional Amendments, too. <br /><br />Lefties claim that law-abiding citizens must not be allowed to purchase firearms for their own personal protection and self-defense. This belief is universal and dogmatically-proclaimed. No matter what the Constitution says. Mention the Second Amendment to them and they instantly — miraculously! — become Taliban-like fundamentalists, adroit in their modernist sentence diagramming and Constitutional exegesis, without reference to history or textual meaning. To achieve their imaginary future with gun control, we must pass laws that inevitably provide psychotics and criminals with a monopoly on murder. That is the Hollywood view of social justice. <br /><br />Meanwhile, these same actors make pixelated delights to titillate our most base curiosities, as they run around shooting people... the “bad guys.” I’m sorry, those ideas are simplistic and fantastic as the implausible stories they tell. The entertainment industry produces video games as realistically as the possibly can using... “assault rifles” and handguns (ones that run out of ammo and be reloaded so you can shoot again). I guess you can have it both ways when you make millions, donate to one political party, and are surrounded by bodyguards who are all... men with guns. Yeah, that makes sense. Jimmy Kimmel says so. <br /><br />I can endure in the loathsome popular culture the elites have created, so long as I am able to protect myself from the human zombie killers they spawn — people like Dylan Klebold, Adam Lanza and Niklas Cruz. Why? Because there is a First Amendment AND a Second Amendment, and the Framers show us their wisdom and why both are so important today. It’s not an either-or. <br /><br />Artists simply emote, and hide behind the First Amendment as the aegis for why they should be able to emote without consequence — and evoke the emotions of others. Even in political matters. It’s “freedom of expression” as penumbra for speech. Okay, then I suppose the unqualified text “... the right of the people to keep and bear Arms shall not be infringed.” is an expression that’s too complicated. I guess for liberals — the smartest people in the world — thinking is for suckers. <br /><br />Enjoy the Oscars, and a Jennifer Lawrence’s sex scenes. Stupidity is the new black. <br /><br />-IACAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078379512095504946.post-4626253207648136392018-03-04T13:03:43.500-08:002018-03-04T13:03:43.500-08:00I'm sure she's rich now, but she certainly...I'm sure she's rich now, but she certainly is NOT smart.Sam L.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00996809377798862214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078379512095504946.post-47195994607823127172018-03-04T12:45:39.773-08:002018-03-04T12:45:39.773-08:00"Some actresses would not have the luxury of ..."Some actresses would not have the luxury of choice."<br /><br />Every actress has the luxury of choice. Either its "no", or its "how much?", and if she agrees to the latter, well, your role models failed you and you ultimately failed yourself.<br /><br />Here's a take-down of The Hunger Games by The Last Psychiatrist (multiple parts): <br /><br />What's Wrong With The Hunger Games Is What No One Noticed<br />https://thelastpsychiatrist.com/2012/04/whats_wrong_with_the_hunger_ga_1.html<br /><br />"This is not a criticism about the entertainment value of the story, but about its popularity and the pretense that it has a strong female character. I like the story of Cinderella, but I doubt that anyone would consider Cinderella a strong female character, yet Katniss and Cinderella are identical."Jack Fisherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17873320680596889057noreply@blogger.com
