yea we'd probably not look in the mirror either. 9/11 affected the world, but its honestly just moral fragmentation because our govt's blow up buildings full of people in the third world all the time, and you dont hear about it.

. It won't be their kid over there, gettin' shot. Just like it wasn't them when their number got called, 'cause they were pullin' a tour in the National Guard. It'll be some kid from Southie takin' shrapnel in the ass. And he comes back to find that the plant he used to work at got exported to the country he just got back from. And the guy who put the shrapnel in his ass got his old job, 'cause he'll work for fifteen cents a day and no bathroom breaks. Meanwhile, he realizes the only reason he was over there in the first place was so we could install a government that would sell us oil at a good price. And, of course, the oil companies used the skirmish over there to scare up domestic oil prices. A cute little ancillary benefit for them, but it ain't helping my buddy at two-fifty a gallon. And they're takin' their sweet time bringin' the oil back, of course, and maybe even took the liberty of hiring an alcoholic skipper who likes to drink martinis and in' play slalom with the icebergs, and it ain't too long 'til he hits one, spills the oil and kills all the sea life in the North Atlantic. So now my buddy's out of work and he can't afford to drive, so he's got to walk to the in' job interviews, which sucks 'cause the shrapnel in his ass is givin' him chronic hemorrhoids. And meanwhile he's starvin', 'cause every time he tries to get a bite to eat, the only blue plate special they're servin' is North Atlantic scrod with Quaker State. So what did I think? I'm holdin' out for somethin' better. I figure it, while I'm at it why not just shoot my buddy, take his job, give it to his sworn enemy, hike up gas prices, bomb a village, club a baby seal, hit the hash pipe and join the National Guard?

Was Evo Morales deposed by a military coup? Is the "interim leadership" legitimate? What should US do if the "interim leadership" continues massacring indigenous protesters & fails to hold free elections, as looks likely? Should Morales be permitted to run? Those are the issues:

The Bolivian people deserve free and fair elections, as soon as possible. Bolivia's interim leadership must limit itself to preparing for an early, legitimate election.

I broke down and answered a call from SSI-DYNATA monday.
They have been calling several times the past few days.
They wanted to know which dem I would vote for if election held today, picked a name I have never heard of. Mostly it was questions about Kennedy vs Markey. I said I was seriously unfavorable about both of them. AOC's name came up, once. Several times they asked questions where Impeaching Trump was one of the answers. They never asked questions about Congress , only the Senate. I did lol on some of the statements about Markey.

And it gives all the liberals warm fuzzies to hear him say this on the film but unlike real life it's just a film written by people(in this case Damon himself and Ben Affleck) seeking to elicit a certain response that will get good word of mouth and sell movie tickets. You see Ricky, Hollywood is about separating you from as much of your money as possible, and they have no qualms about filling your head with as much violent and sexual imagery as possible in order to get your money. You think they're preaching the gospel truth about the world when in fact they are using you like yesterday's Kleenex.your friend matt damon is a raging socialist and grew up next to famed US historian howard zinn. heres his character from good will hunting which is also wrote:

some of it is truth. what makes you think its all fiction?
i think it was the romans who primarily used story telling as a means of educating its populace. im amazed that so many people here think we have nothing to learn from stories.
i agree with what you said about violence and sexual imagery.'
im reading a book called howard zinn speaks, which is amazing, and he was talking about a film he watched which was rated "R" for "intense suffering and class conflict" and he said that could accurately describe US history.
Didn't say it was all fiction. A kernel of truth lends legitimacy to propaganda. But keep in mind that truth is often distorted by "artistic license." As well as political points of view. What you see on screen may or may not be accurate.
Name a building full of people being blown up anywhere that wasn't reported?
dude it happens all the time. do you know how many bombs obama dropped?
theres no such thing as objectivity, everything is a POV and you do your best to tell the truth.
i agree alot of it is probably propaganda. they have economists they bring in to write the scripts for films. ive also quoted george lucas's take on hollywood vs i think it was the "communist" version of film production.
what percent of hollywood is propaganda or BS?
Roughly 99%?
and what makes you think everything isnt 99% BS?

Hollywood thinks it's the time for woman themed movies to take over, unfortunately the last 2 movies have been major disappointments.
Tell me again where buildings full of civilians have been blown up but not reported?
No nudity?
Worse. Male nudity.
Forget it
