few have attempted substantive responses to these arguments.

To require substantive responses your arguments would first require substance.

This isn't the time or place to discuss the substance of your arguments, rather we are discussing the form they take. I personally hate how you often enter into an argument, drop a quote and then leave, never to be seen in the post again (ex. 1, 2) I think it would be helpful for us all if... [more]

I'm a +77 mage on the Mildew server and I've got another +42 level Bowel Compactor that I've been playing on the Lethargy level in the Seamstresses guild. Both of them have fire protection and squirrel nut zipper cds. I call one of them Steve and keep him under my pillow. At night, I stroke him and call him 'wiggles'.

EB: People get fired because of things they discuss on the net all the time (try googling "fired because of his blog"), just because you don't personally know doesn't mean it never happens. If we want people on Metafilter to discuss their lives and opinions openly then we have to be able to guarantee them some degree of anonymity. The only other solution is for people - like doctors, lawyers, politicians - who could be fired for talking about issues that concern their job, not to talk... [more]

Rothko, your evidence was not very good at all. So you can pull up some reviews that point out that Kubrick was critical of humanity, that doesn't mean that the scene in Full Metal Jacket was intentionally racist. In fact, when you think about the scene, it plays as more of an extension of American sensibilities onto vietnam. The woman has taken to using distorted english phrases to whore herself off to men and has adopted american stereotypes (black men are largely endowed) as her own. The... [more]

That scene is pretty well analyzed and understood. Kubrick's intentions with this scene were pretty well analyzed and understood within the context of his body of work.

If you choose not to agree, you're going to have to do a damn sight better than simply saying "wrong", because a lot of people who carefully think about this stuff for a living would simply tell you to do your homework and watch the film again.... [more]
