I'm not discriminated because I'm a straight white male. I'm discriminated because I'm disabled and poor. I just wish disability and class were treated as seriously as other forms of systemic inequity. Bigotry, oppression and cruelty gives any individual the right to feel aggrieved and demand the right to be treated decently. I treat women, people of colour and the LGBTQ community with respect and consideration. All I ask is the same back in view of my own problems. In fact, my problem in this regard is even worse because how people speak to me is intrinsic to its exacerbation. I am serious, and as someone who has said that they also take SSRIs, I'd have thought you would have been more understanding and sympathetic. If the hypothetical PC Police did exist I'd hope it would take the problems of people like us as serious as that of other vulnerable people. We all are responsible for how others feel. I don't say nasty things to others because I respect their feelings, unless they say nasty things to me, at which point I have earned the right to go ballistic on them. Simple rule: treat me nicely and I will do the same in kind. Treat me like shit, and you better watch the fuck out. Yes, I am serious. Not that it matters now. I'm leaving. Good for you. So you don't have any understanding of what it's like. And yet you were the ones in the thread where I spoke about how being put on 'ignore' made me feel, who mocked me. Sertraline. I've reported the OP. As in 'go'. I doubt I'd win on the popular vote. Is there an electoral college system? Surely Blow Out would have been an even stranger one. That film was universally acclaimed, whereas there are some critics who seriously dislike Scarface (personally I'm a fan, but I can understand why it's garishness and excess might be too much for some people). I wish Basinger had played Stacy Sutton in A View to a Kill. She was a better match for that character than Tanya Roberts, who arguably gave the worst 'Bond Girl' performance ever. I think Swanson and SMG are both very attractive, but looks-wise I'd still give the edge to early to mid-90s Swanson. Zeta-Jones is certainly no slouch in the looks department either. You. I still don't think I've found a topic I agree with TheUltimateHippo over.* *Just kidding. I get confused with TheUltimateHippo and another poster with 'hippo' in their username, and I think they might be the one I'm thinking of. I disagree. A terrible film can be the best of its year in a given technical category. Several bad films have been awarded with Best Special Effects nominations, for instance, and have deserved them. Con Air isn't even a terrible film. Despite our differences, I always find something we're in agreement with. This is one. Oh, you came around. Good for you! 🙂 I like the song. Plus, it isn't crap. In theory, it should be crap. Bruckheimer and Simon West should guarantee overblown generic junk. And yet, somehow, it manages to be an incredibly entertaining film. No. Scarface. This is a rule of thumb: I'm very nice and cordial to people who are nice or even neutral to me. But as soon as they attack me, they are going down. Hard. Unless they apologise. I quit a job a while back that was well-paid. It was my first job post-college, and I learned later that I was getting paid more than some of my colleagues who had been working at the place for longer (then again, I had more qualifications than them, I'd been in the specific role longer than them, and I was promoted very early on, by a female boss I hasten to add). Suffice to say, they weren't exactly happy. But it wasn't the job I wanted. I was well-paid. I liked my colleagues. And I could afford the stuff I wanted. But I hated the industry and what it stood for, and I wanted out, so I quit. Plus, I was studying part-time for the career I did want. Unfortunately, no-one had ever given me credit for following my integrity and for working hard (i.e. working full-time plus over-time during the week, and attending post-grad school on the weekends), when everyone was slacking during the week/had their weekends off, or were studying full-time (mainly because someone, most likely a relation, was paying for their education).
