Fake fan spotted. The books make clear the armies that defended Minas Tirith are actually a variety of man from across all of Middle Earth who gathered together. Three pages are dedicated to the parade coming to the city to help protect them. Though Mordor does have them beat in Gender- Shelob is al...

It might be time to at least swap the setup to inject some life into it. I dunno how to swap things though.

Was he most well known for acting in Westerns?

I understand that some people may not want to see this Political discussion, especially when views are out of the mainstream. This is why I thought the Politics group was created. It is purposely hidden from the front page to provide some more freedom to explore these Political arguments without up...

Damn, I need to stop revealing so much info about myself on this forum purely to win stupid internet debates.

I've given the internet a dozen weakness to hit me now.

Anyone who sees this because Disney cast a black actor and think it’s progressive is a complete tool in my humble opinion (I’m not saying anyone here fits that category, even though they’re defending it). The same kind of person who in the 1940’s would’ve watched Disney’s Songs of the South and con...

But do I miss those days when the forum was interesting and worth turning up too? God, yes. It was infinitely more entertaining and diverse than the perpetual game of 20 questions and counting of years that makes up the forum now. Me too.. I don’t think we need any moderator to e.g. protect our del...

So he's going to ban the Bible being available to children? Or require only a sanitized version that removes all nekton of sex, rape, circumcision, .... Because you can't even make it through Genesis without mention of sodomy, rape, and other sex acts like Lot offering up his own daughters for sex....

Didn't we just go through this entire song and dance with Roe? Everyone insisting nothing will ever change and obviously these laws will never happen and then they just do?

I'm not as sure as y'all that this just won't ever happen. Sure, this bill in particular won't pass right now- but it's entirely up in the air who will be president and in control of Congress come 2024. And as far as legal challenges, well, the Florida bill has survived challenges and I have zero re...

Does this make it illegal to tell a kid that their mom gave birth to them? I could hire a lawyer to say that, but no judge would actually accept it so :neutral: Though if it was a transgender man who gave birth to a child, that would be impossible to discuss (even though this is something that has ...

Real person?

Mike Johnson, a House Representative, has just submitted a new bill that would ban any exposure to "sexually-explicit materials" to children under the age of 10, with sexually explicit being defined as description of sex, lewd genitalia, and most broadly "any topic involving sexual orientation, gend...

1. If it cannot hatch from its shell, the chick will die without ever truly being born.
2. We are the chick; the world is our egg.
3. If we don't break the world's shell, we will die without truly being born.
4. Smash the world's shell, for the Revolution of the World.

No answer to the Lesbian implication was somewhat painful- I was quite curious how your patriarchy could survive same-sex pairings I appreciate the tone of semi-friendly sarcasm as an alternative to ad hominems. To answer your direct questions straightaway, - No, I don't think making a movie where w...

When you try to inject diversity into historical or pseudo-historical films (which fantasy films often are) without **any** logical reason how this could have happened it detracts from the story. But why though? Why does "Diversity"- whatever the hell that means- detract from the story-whatever the...

A world of lies... that's what feminism is. A complete refutation of it and a proper defence of the patriarchy is beyond the scope of this post (though it shall be given if requested), but suffice it to say that it is a complete and utter lie that women as a whole were meant to be anything other th...

Oh nevermind, I got five upvotes once.

I won the debate!

If the debate is still going on, could someone summarize it for me? (Or indeed, perhaps you'd like to summarize it for your own sakes, if what we are pursuing here is mutual understanding.) Confirmed - female superhero movies are unpopular because they suck. From there we jumped to the most obvious...

I'm sorry Octavious, did I make a mistake and I'm actually talking to a five year old? cause I think anyone above the age of five would have the self-awareness to understand this. Anyway, if that's the case, I'm sorry for being so rude to you, and you have some very impressive vocabulary for a child...
