    Of course, we can see how some movie producers will try to avoid this kind of hassles from now on, eh? They'll make movies that aren't going to be a platform for people like you! I bet transgender characters won't be in a lot of them. And......novelists (who aim to sell their works to Hollywood), will create novels that will be easy to sell to producers! You know what that means? That's why I say......... You guys are so f****d! You forget that making movies is a business! It boils down to......WHAT SELLS! You can only count on producers who share the same agendas as you guys. Good luck at the box-office.

    Some of the reactions to Johanssen's casting as a transgender reeks with.........envy. https://www.popsugar.com/entertainment/Transgender-Actors-Reactions-Scarlett-Johansson-Casting-45015289 Lol. You can have the prettiest face there is in hollywood, but the question is: can you draw in moviegoers like Lawrence and Johanssen? So you aren't getting in the same rooms as A-listers! Can you see the difference between you and them? No. You guys are so f****d. You forget that making movies is a business! It boils down to......WHAT SELLS! If the producers don't want to take a chance on any no-name wannabes, that's their prerogative! If you want so much to be in the movies.....you guys better come up with your own movie! Do a gofundme! I'm sure millions of leftists will be more than happy to support you. Maybe you can even ask Streep, and DUH-Niro to appear in it.....for free!

    Scarlett Johanssen is making the news for capitulating to pressure. She gave up her role as a transgender....to make way for a real transgender to play it. These days, there is no such thing as "make-believe" anymore when you go watch the movie. You can no longer escape from the real world when you go see a movie - actually, the movie very much remind you of it. You're dragged into the politics of the world you're trying to forget for a few hours. If the role calls for a lesbian.....you gotta have a real lesbian to portray it. If it calls for an Indian, he has to be a real one. https://www.nytimes.com/2017/08/01/movies/wind-river-native-american-actors-casting.html So....what's someone like Diamond Phillips doing usurping the role of a Thai? Even though I haven't seen any of his performances as the King of Siam, I doubt very much that anyone can portray THAI King Mongkut any better than the Russian, Yul Bryner. Before KIm, it was a Japanese Ken Wantanbe, who played the role of the Thai king. And, now.....a Korean. Why is a Korean, Daniel Dae Kim portraying a Thai role? Is it because of their physical looks, like their eyes? Koreans, Japanese and Thai have that same slanting eyes? We just lump them all together from that region, eh? Will there be pressure to close down the current production of the King and I? And find a Thai to portray him from now on? Where's the outrage? What about The Sound of Music? All those actors playing it onstaged should all be Austrian! .....and they better make sure everyone is a genuine Jew who portray them in Holocaust movies! ....and if they ever do a remake of Hotel Rwanda, it better not be Don Cheadle (ancestry from Cameroon), in that starring role as Paul Rusesabagina . It better be a Rwandan actor! Not, Ethiopian, or South African, or Congonese......he has to be from Rwanda! After all, we shouldn't be all lumping Africans together on the basis of their color! The hypocritical, twisted, dysfunctional leftist mentality isn't funny anymore. They destroy everything they touch.

      The fake collage and the Russian meme weren't taken by your cousin. I would believe the last one.

      The collage isn't fake, they are actual pictures,  wasn't sent by my cousin but it came from a British group, sorry, it wasn't the Russians.  I didn't post any Russian memes so don't know which one you are referring to - but carry on - whatever keeps your little mind happy.   No doubt anything you don't like comes from the Russians - I get it..    The Russian are Coming the Russians are coming...

    Surely, Trudeau would've used that excuse by now, if what you say is true. They're talking defense. That's what I hear.
  6. betsy
    So Trump points out, "Germany is captive by Russia." 70% of Germany's gas comes from Russia - that makes her dependent on Russia, doesn't it? How does that play with negotiations??? A pundit says, "well.....what he's saying is actually true......but you don't say that in public." Yoo hoo? What happened to TRANSPARENCY?

      You seem to know everything about Canadian politics. Can you cite what specifically you find offensive in the Ontario curriculum? Other than there used to be a creep who was deputy minister, which seems beside the point if there is nothing actually offensive in the document.

    4. BubberMiley

      BubberMiley

      Yeah. I figured Betsy had nothing but a cheap guilt by association smear and no actual knowledge of the curriculum itself. Debating with these people is like shooting fish in a barrel. It's gotten too easy.

    So.....since you claim you don't support Assad, I'll give it the benefit of the doubt. But you focused only on Trump/America. Nothing negative was said about Assad. You gave him a pass - by trying to make Trump admin to be the culprit. If you're now saying you don't support him, it's only because I held your feet on the fire. You can't deny those videos. That leaves me to believe that you're exploiting these Thai children as a platform for your agenda. I'm right. It's you and Hudson, who are the real hypocrites. Riding on the tragic Thai story that saw one volunteer dead. Like I've said: have some decency.

    And then they go rallying behind our Trudeau.....making it seem like he's leading! Leading the deadbeat - is that something to crow about? Well, his pathetic excuse - and excessive use of the terms, "friends" and "allies" - makes Canada look like a sleaze trying to squirm anyway she can to avoid meeting her OBLIGATION! Did we, or did we not agree...... and signed up for that? Do you have your friends pick the tab up for you every time? And when you do contribute.....do you grudgingly HAGGLE about it? We've got money coming out of our yin-yang.......just look at the spendings this Trudea does. And yet, he makes us look pathetic before the world. HAGGLING about quality and quantity! And he dare bring up the terms "friends" and "allies." Here. See for yourselves. Source: NATO https://www.defensenews.com/global/europe/2018/03/10/how-much-do-nato-member-nations-spend-on-defense/ GREECE can meet her obligation. Why can't we?
  10. betsy
    Trump makes trouble by making demands at NATO summit! Trump is not a team player. How dare Trump bring up deadbeat and free-loading at this summit of friends and allies. That's how Canadian media want to spin it. AND YET, the same Canadian media say something like: "Oh there's nothing new about letters being sent to countries about meeting the agreed stipulation of how much each should contribute. The same complaint has been sent by previous Presidents. " So......what do you do when everybody just keep ignoring those letters? Trump knows what to do. You get in their face and say it bluntly: stop being a deadbeat! Do your share! Isn't that how it's done when you're being a deadbeat in our everyday life? You get a friendly reminder. Then you get an official letter. Then you get a threatening letter - pay up or else. Then you get someone calling - pay up or else. Then you're taken to court! So, why is the media so surprised and aghast by Trump's method?
  11. betsy
    Nope. You found fault only with the Trump administration regarding Syria. Either you support Assad............or, you're using Syrian children for your propaganda against Donald Trump. Which is it? Both?
  12. betsy
    Me??? I'm losing it??? Boy, you're the one who suddenly appeared on this thread with guns blazing! Remember? You attacked us - you made personal attacks on us for no reason. other than we're all caught up with the unfolding situation in Thailand. You disapproved the way we show our concern and empathy for those trapped in the cave. Here's your first post! That does seem like coming from a person who's got it together? Cute avatar, btw. Now that the Thai crisis is over - it's time to analyze your message. So.....what's your problem, Marcus? Why did this thread trigger you?
  13. betsy
    Admit it Marcus. You're on the side of Assad. You point an accusatory finger at America for trying to help civilians that were being attacked.....and lo and behold, nothing was said about Assad. You didn't even bring up any atrocity by Assad.....or why America attacked Syria. ASSAD SUPPORTER! You support his crimes against Syrian people.
  14. betsy
    Silly to you, because you can't refute. They are contradictions. You carry on about people believing something not scientific - and yet I asked you (on the basis of the statement given by the National Acvademy of Sciences) if you think Creation of God is possible - you didn't answer! If you don't agree with the NAS, then on what ground do you base your belief? You're exactly the same as the people you criticize. Okay.....read your post. You're entitled to give your opinion.
  15. betsy
    Oh, boy. He raises......the Christian card! You are against the USA's retaliatory attacks on this monster regime......and you have the nerve to bring up children getting killed! Trying to turn the tables around! That's because you are an....... Assad supporter! Assad supporter! You hate America because........ you're on the side of ASSAD! You support chemical attacks on SYRIAN people! Assad supporter!
  16. betsy
    EH? You made some statements - I pointed out some contradictions. I asked you to explain them. You ignored me. ....and it's me who isn't interested in a rational debate??? Fine.....fine.....fine. You're entitled to your opinion. Just don't expect me to take them seriously.
  17. betsy
    And you prove yourself to be a dimwit........ ......for thinking we can't see who the real hypocrites are. You must be rooting for Assad.....who merely gas them every now and then! Children AND adults! Like as if the reaction to this cave incident is all about age. Lol. You're an Assad supporter who tries to demonize the US retaliation!
  18. betsy

    Like as if I have to be apologetic or feel shamed in any way for being what I am.

      But as I said, you can't expect anything to happen unless someone actually makes a complaint, whether it's Trudeau, Donald Trump or Doug Ford. You want Trudeau to be held to a higher standard than anybody else because he has higher standards than most, but the standard you are holding him to is unreasonable in every situation. Don't you get the hypocrisy of whining about how we should withhold judgement until accusations are tried in a court of law when a right-wing politician has actual accusers, and then whining about how we're not withholding judgement when a left-wing (as if) politician doesn't even have an accuser willing to give any real account of the incident?

    3. scribblet

      No, and as I said it's not something someone should lose their job over, however, it's Trudeau who is holding people to a higher standard than himself.  You are still missing the point about how it's not about a 'real' account of the incident, it's  Trudeau's behaviour, moralizing and throwing guys under the bus while lecturing others on how they feel etc.    It's what he has said and done since it came out.   However, carry on being obtuse and denial about Trudeau.

    4. BubberMiley

      BubberMiley

      Keep moving those goalposts. It's not about the fact that there"s no complaint, no account of the incident, and not about a higher standard for feminist men. It's because Trudeau dealt firmly with issues where there were detailed accounts and complaints, and so he should...deal with issues where there are no complaints in the same manner?

      I'm sorry if you find that obtuse, but that's how I'm reading your argument. As for denial, I'm not denying anything. He might have done worse than grab her ass. I just don't know.

  19. betsy
    ....and it's fun pointing out the ridiculous posturing, and true hypocrisy. What better place indeed to point them out where they are displaying them. You and Marcus resent that these Thai boys have been singled out (totally disregarding the circumstances why the focus has been on them).....and you're pointing out to other children dying all over the world.....AND YET, you're singling out children from Syria (being bombed by America) - and now you're also pointing to those kids "trapped in America!" Both of you have your antenna focused more on America, than kids that are dying! Here you are, outraged about the lack of attention towards dying children of the world. And you effing give us a political cartoon? That's all they are? Nothing more but political cartoons???? Take a long hard look at those images, and maybe you'll get the difference. You both don't care about dying children. All they are to you are......propaganda tools. Gee....you both can't even let some posters commiserate in their own way - showing concern for these people trapped in the cave. Gimme a break. All you care about is your own agenda!
  20. betsy
    My..........they even have their own individual pallets! Meh. Some kids don't get to eat anything for days. Now, I'll surely get called names.....but I have to say, compared to these children (those kids in America are lucky). Look at these children in comparison. TIME IS RUNNING OUT FOR THESE CHILDREN. They're probably dead by now! Let's not get into hysterical fits - and get all muddled with our perspective. Keep those floppy accusatory fingers, since obviously we see where the real hypocrisy lies. What a hoot. At least, those kids trapped in "cages" are not trapped with human smugglers...........some of whom probably eat little boys - and little girls - for breakfast......after having group-banged mama. That evil America. I suppose we'll be seeing this all over the board. Legacy of Hot Enough.....now carried on by his fan boys. Talk about suddenly coming out of the closet!
  21. betsy
    Oy. Good thing I saw your post - didn't get any notification. That's your opinion. Your previous posts have quite a few contradictions - something you didn't explain. Anyway, you're entitled to your opinion. Just don't expect me to take them seriously.

    A possible third Supreme Court pick for Trump?

    Sorry if I jumped on you.... Like I said before, so many stupidity getting posted. Who would've thought that reacting to this nail-biter would draw posters like Marcus and Hudson - attacking those who'd responded with concern - therefore, your intended sarcasm was lost in "translation" - especially after my jubilant hooyah. My fault.
  24. betsy
    See the post above.

    So many stupidity being posted - that sometimes one can't simply assume it's just sarcasm.
