Movies you couldn't even finish.

You're supposed to know this without needing to be told. It should already be self-evident that getting caught up in what anonymous strangers feel is a losing game. There are things that are really worth investing your heart and soul in. Internet discussion forums aren't on the list.

I would say yes, or, at least they should if you have a healthy perspective on things. Why give someone the satisfaction of being offended by the internerd?

Should we be offended by goatse? Getting you 'bothered' is at least half of what inflammatory websites are after. They WANT anger and hatemail, and they eat it up like candy.

1. That's a law enforcement issue.

2. You can heed the warnings and act on them without getting emotionally caught up in the whole mess.

I don't disagree, but accountability also means being accountable to yourself by not getting torqued about things that aren't worth it. You know, like the internet.

You know, if you can't tell the difference between 'spreading hate' and making a light hearted comment about a terrible movie, I really can't help you.

You! help someone

Ok...that's not what it means. Anyway, my comment about spreading hate wasn't directed toward the single word you used in this one post, but rather the fact that it is just one link in a long chain of intolerant comments you've made because you have the poor sense of judgement to find them funny. And I'm not that emotionally invested into this, it's just that: 1. When I see something said that I disagree with I can't let it stand 2. I want to save the forum from being overrun by idiocy.

Someone had to say it.

Sure it is. It's not my fault you fail to see the full dimensions of accountability.

Nah, what it comes down to is that you're another hypersensitive moralist who is far more interested in cultivating a sense of self-righteous rectitude than in remembering that the internet is, well, the internet.

I still don't see you proving your idea that something that wouldn't be acceptable offline is acceptable online, though your acting like you have. The internet may lack some of the forms of interaction that real life provides, but when it comes down to it...it is real people saying things that can affect the outside world. The idea that something is not offensive because it's on the internet is like saying something isn't offensive because it's written in a book. Controversy develops over books all the time, and they have the same "detachment from reality" as you are claiming for the internet. In a nutshell the point, as far as I can see it, is that words have all the same properties on the internet as they do in real life and therefore, they have the same effect. Your assuming a greater gap between the internet and reality than really exists. After all, the internet is very much a product of real life and therefore technically a part of reality whether you want to admit it or not. The only way the internet could not be a part of reality is if it were to not exist. You're making it out to be a much more absract entity than it really is. If you were to write a letter, or publish an article full of insults and slurs it would be unacceptable by almost any standards. I don't really see a big difference between that and posting something online where anyone can see it.

einh? i wasn't here... who offended whom? what did this frog do? did someone call me??

I couldn't make it through Made in America with Whoopi Goldberg and Ted Danson. In fact, I'm very much willing to forget it exists. Wait, what were we talking about?

Jurassic Park 3... I got really bored and left the theatre half way through

thin red line

ugh

Titanic-It was so boring i was falling asleep like in the first 20 minutes-There was no suspence no anything it was a plain out flat movie no climax or anything near it!

Dune- it was just way over my head, i watched about 20 minutes and had to change the station
