i really liked it. average audience rating is like an 80% so take that as you will. i think the people that hated it weren't going to like it no matter what happened.

And I think you have no idea what you are talking about.

Bad things do not become acceptable things because they are allowed in some cultures

That's not what is under discussion. What is under discussion is whether people from the "entire world" should act on someone violating norms they don't hold. Which you would know, if you had actually understood what was being discussed. Let me help you by educating you like I have already educated several others:

It "fucks him up" that the "entire world" was just okay with him marrying a 15 year old. The entire world judges such things vastly differently.

Let me say it again, this time for your benefit:

Expecting someone to take action on behavior that violates YOUR culture norms but not THEIRS is the act of an idiot.

Damn dude I'd say leave some pussy for the rest of us but I'm not into younger chicks

This ladies and gentleman is what defeat looks like. Fucking hilarious.

Balrog0 posted... Yeah, that's also why I think stuff like slavery and the caste system etc are bad even though cultures have practiced them. Or is your neutral stance on culture only applied to modern day first world nations?

That takes the cake for dumbest comment you've made so far, and you've made some dumb ones. Forgetting for a moment that you just compared an age of consent at or below 15 to slavery...

Let's say someone is a slaver, and your society is against slavery and another society is for it. Expecting someone in the society that is for slavery to do anything about someone being a slaver because YOUR NORMS find it unacceptable is the act of an idiot.

Which is incidentally what this conversation is all about, me telling you exactly that.

It is what you're saying, and you're not giving me any information I don't know. You can be astonished that other people have different cultural standards if you think they're immoral, this isn't hard at all.

Then you just believe that other cultures should judge someone by norms that are not their own.

Alright, you are just an idiot. Thanks for sharing.

You clearly don't know my style of posting. I don't hide my post history like you, take a gander and see for yourself.

No, person who can't read, that isn't what I'm saying. Acting like you are astonished that the "entire world" didn't get mad at someone's behavior that is judged differently across the "entire world" is the position of an ignorant person. Which I was pointing out to him, and now to you.

Many? There's only like 7 nations in South America with AoCs below 15. This doesn't even really support your semantics

People who can't read out in force this morning I see. Let me help you, using the link I provided for you:

https://www.ageofconsent.net/world

From the list I provided for you, covering only EUROPE through the LETTER I:

Albania Europe 14
Austria Europe 14
Bulgaria Europe 14
Croatia Europe 15
Czech Republic Europe 15
Denmark Europe 15
Estonia Europe 14
France Europe 15
Germany Europe 14
Greece Europe 15
Hungary Europe 14
Iceland Europe 15
Italy Europe 14

That's 13 European nations (only going through the letter I) with an age of consent at or below 15. I'll remind you that this topic is about R. Kelly's marriage to someone...wait for it...who was 15 years old. The differing age of consent shows people's reactions to such behavior over "the entire world" would be vastly different. Something that obviously completely escaped your grasp.

KillerSlaw posted... It's a figure of speech

Not when referring to someone who has performed across the world it isn't.

So the hill you choose to die on is defending the correct usage of literal phrases?

I guess it's better than the other hill.

That's the best you got? Pathetic. Get your illiterate ass out of here. Next time, read what someone is replying to before spouting off your garbage.

JonTaylorThomas posted...

there's always this guy

When someone says "entire world was just okay with him" the fact that the entire world doesn't see behavior the same is pretty fucking relevant.

His peers in the industry and the authorities that failed to investigate the allegations are to blame for this problem, certainly not "the entire world". I was in no way condoning his behavior, merely pointing out a reality in direct response to someone referring to the entire world. Get your head out of your ass.

It still fucks me up that the entire world was just okay with him openly taking advantage of a young girl like that.

The entire world does not have the same age of consent.

Many western nations have ages of consent below 15.

Citing the first movie in the series - that still had a duel - isn't even a good argument. There were multiple limitations that existed then that do not exist now. Now you have random enthusiasts making interesting lightsaber duels, but Disney can't pull it off?

Then again, looking at the choreography of that throne room fight, perhaps it is best they didn't soil the universe anymore with a shit rendition of a lightsaber duel.

Only Star Wars movie that has caused me to feel apathy towards the universe.
Only Star Wars movie that has caused me to outright not see the sequel.
Only Star Wars movie I have not seen more than once in theaters (that I have been around for anyway)
Only Star Wars movie that didn't have a lightsaber duel.

I could write shit like that for days. It is an atrocious film. It is an even worse Star Wars movie.

I like how the people who cry about these edits always give these people more views than they ever would have had had you just ignored it.

You people are truly even more pathetic than those who created these videos.

This is wrong. BL3 just fails at that type of humor.

Resentment is like drinking poison and waiting for the other person to die." - Carry Fisher

Most of the time revenge is just a fantasy that takes up valuable time you could be spending elsewhere. The problem with revenge itself is it usually leads to a vicious cycle and/or permanently changes someone for the worse.
