Welcome to IWETHEY!

New This was the argument my boss used with Pro-Lifers.
During the campaign he got into heated arguments with family members on just this point - if you're pro-life, why support a pResident whose policies are causing more abortions?

New I had that argument
Except mine was about The Last Temptation of Christ, and it was with some stranger picketting out front. I asked if he'd actually seen it. He said no. I told him that I hadn't either, but I'd heard it really wasn't very good. And that I hadn't been planning on seeing it. The only reason I was considering it at all was the protests. I wanted to see what all the fuss was about.

He wasn't getting it.

So I told him, "If you agree to go home and stop picketting, I'll keep walking home, like I had been. If you decide to stay and keep picketting, I'll fork over my money and go see it right now. Then I'll come out and give you a report. Now: do you really want to keep people from seeing this movie, or are you just trying to display how pious you are?"

He stayed, so I went to see it. And it wasn't all that good. Not all that shodking, either.

New What, those were the PRO-jeebus folks boycotting it?
I'd'a thought it'd be the *Anti*-religionists; the impression one got from the meeja blitherings about it (at this remove) was that all in all, it was much more a force propagandazing FOR jeezmoidery than possibly denigrating the same by being dogmatically incorrect.

More a case of the pious -- *being* Mel and his merry moviemakers -- uppsetting the rest of us, than anybody non-pious upsetting the pious, I thought.

Seems I underestimated the pious' capacity for being offended.

Live and learn.

Your lies are of Microsoftian Scale and boring to boot. Your 'depression' may be the closest you ever come to recognizing truth: you have no 'inferiority complex', you are inferior - and something inside you recognizes this. - [link|http://z.iwethey.org/forums/render/content/show?contentid=71575|Ashton Brown]
New You're thinking of a different movie.
