Do you take North Korean threats seriously?

BTW, how do you post a large photo within the body of a message?
As you can tell from the post above...I've failed miserably!! :{ Thanks in advance!!

Happy Holidazed (and quite confussed!!)

I expect that the horrors you prattle about are not subject to the same criticism. Perhaps we've found our sinless organism.

You said it: you expect it, but your expectations do not necessarily have to conflate with reality.

I was merely saying that "talking about" wrongs and horrors while doing nothing else, might, at any rate, be justified when it's reduced to one single helpless person "prattling" against the stubborn convictions and satisfaction of a whole society, but if it's that whole society who will do nothing but "talk about" without effectively doing anything against those wrongs and horrors being denounced, then society as a whole fails miserably.

I am not saying that you must shut up if that is not going to bring any further result: what I am questioning is not the value of that "talking about" that based your posting, no matter if it's one person or millions; what I question is the value of a society being very satisfied with themselves with that just "talking", as if merely "talking", not even talking to arouse action, worked anything to change all that is wrong in the world.

Apart from my response above, I also see that you royally ignored my reference to this whole question not being about "talking about" the horrors of the North Korean regime anymore, but about the American pride ..........................................................................................................................................

Bellman, you are so right about all those so-called 'passionate, inspiring Social Justice Warriors' who merely "prattle" on Twitter while doing nothing else.

It seems more and more likely that North Korea did not carry out these attacks, and that a Sony insider probably did - the media and the US government have created this whole story around a small bit of evidence.

We had forgotten this was not about North Korea either (at least, not yet, not this case, not this year... ), like it was not about American pride, but merely about a shit-out atmthe movie studio division of a big corporation, stupid us

Here 'tis. $5.99 in America right now.

Yup, I just finished watching it. It's really not that bad of a movie, it's just not worth the hype that North Korea (allegedly) gave it.

Two fucking hours! Jesus Christ!! and as if giving your time away were not paying enough , they are still asking €5.

 

[nyctopgam]

Sometimes even earlier... that depends on you of course, it may be much... much, much, much, much, much, much later

Nah, it's a child psychology thing about thought, language and socialization. Not hyperbole.

Yes, and we were discussing the average age at which all that crystallizes in "hard wiring".

If you don't like Rogen movies, than the answer is to not see them, instead of going on and on incessantly on an internet forum about this one in particular.

I happen to find that Seth Rogen is good for a few laughs. He makes absolutely nothing that I would remember for my entire lifetime, but so what? Not every movie made has to be a pivotal experience.

I don't even know who Rogen is exactly, so don't get so wild on my jugular only because you happen to be a fan... in fact, just judging by the snips of the movie, it would be Franco who would get on my nerves, but I never cared that much about him either. He sure looks silly in those perfume commercials, but that's what commercials are for.

Just give it a rest belamo. Your complaints of this movie/America/the West/society/whatever the hell your bitching is about, has so completely confused everyone the only two people who are even trying to engage with you about it are myself and zoltanspawn and when we try we are met with nothing but "corrections" that just wind up adding another layer of encryption to your orginal cryptic complaint. Combine that with the ever slight superiority complex that pervades all your posts even when you are being clear just makes talking with you about this both a chore and a bore.

I wouldn't necessarily consider myself a "fan" of Seth Rogen. I usually watch these types of movies by myself, and forget about them the next day. They're something to put on when I'm bored out of my mind and need a few laughs at the moment, however forgettable they might be in his movies.

Then, if the whole business confuses and stresses you so much to the point of keep on posting without having any idea of what you are posting about and what I was talking about, maybe you should give it a rest and let this thread alone ... especially when it seems to hurt whatever inferiority complex you are letting show in posts like that.

If you had been paying attention you would have noticed that I had given up try to figure what your problem was pages ago. As for your defensive posturing (pretending that anyone who calls you out your slight superiority complex has some sort of insecurity issues talking to you) that's just another symptom of your complex.

If you had been paying attention to what I wrote instead of keeping attacking me for what you admit you won't understand, you wouldn't still be posting in that passive-aggressive way. You just...

Pointing out someone's superiority complex who actually is superior is hardly being passive aggressive. Well, perhaps there was just a little bit of aggression in me when I said that if only because I wanted to revel in your insecurities as payment from my pointless engagement with you in this thread. Your payment has been received in full. Please save this as post as a receipt for your records. Till next time, belamo.
