I think most of us have said most of what we want. But I think I will take you up on that PM thing, Takoma11, since the last reply befuddled me a little and I'd already written most of a reply before...

Re: Do movies teach stereotypes?

:laugh: Look, obviously no amount of explaining is gonna make sense if it doesn't already. I can only rephrase or repeat: it's kind of like being called out. Think of it more like having a loud...
