Donnie Darko: Dinner Table

Brothers - "I'm No Fucking Hero!!"

one of the most intense scenes I have ever seen in a movie. Top notch performances all round and a great movie to cap it off.


I found the scene around the dinner table with the family, incredibly tense and an amazing piece of acting by her and Maguire

POV: Visiting A Friend's House

What is money?

I saw this when it was originally posted and I watched it again now as a refresher.

It's pretty scary how people have known that this system is so amazingly bad and was bound to collapse for so long and yet nothing has ever changed (judging by the massive debt taken to pay off the collapse, I guess it's not changing anytime soon).

Makes you wonder what power government really has? Every time someone thinks about making change in power, they just say some candid quote and hope someone in the future is inspired? For all the very informed people quoted, it seems no one has made any significant change. (I didn't really research these people's accomplishments but it seems evident by the state of the world today).

That's what scares me most, it will take the power of the people and people are so very very slow at producing change. The one thing that really hits home for me is the quote mentioning how incapable the average person is of understanding exponential growth. I've encountered this a lot and when I say things like "but it's exponential growth!" and I get blank stares as if the word exponential didn't register.

I actually remember trying to make people watch these videos before and I could convince very few to sit through the 48mins, I remember being afraid even and telling the dinner table, "the economy is going to BURST! THE DEBT MONSTER IS COMING! NOOOOOOOOOOO!"...probably should of phrased it better.

Boy Won't Say Pledge of Allegiance Until Gays Can Marry

Are you arguing with this boy's opinions, or as you assumed, the opinions of others that propose equal rights for all citizens, including those not belonging to a Religious belief or doctrine? Or arguing that the fact he has these opinions or any opinion for that matter, is somehow misguided because he is ten?

Being apprehensive about dinner table values is one thing, especially when they are backed up with generalities. However, Gay rights are modern day civil rights. To deny them isn't a responsible, respectful protection of those "morally opposed to homosexuality," but instead a willful denial to respect the rights of others protected by the Constitution. Religion does not have a stranglehold on the meaning of Marriage, and the government should recognize a meaning that applies to all citizens, not just those part of an exclusive ideology. Your attacks on the validity of using the PoA as a place to express discontent are albeit right because, as you already said, the arguments for liberty and justice can be used just as easily by any opposition. But fuck semantics, those critiques don't change the validity of the boys opposition.

The hardest part of reading your posts isn't that you say things that are wrong, but snide. To have a lot of adult friends, "let alone gay ones," isn't nearly as disconcerting a thought as your clear assumption that having "gay ones" is somehow dangerous. You have an opinion just like this kid, and it seeps through. Except this kid expresses himself genuinely and makes his arguments unashamed, while you use formulated 'unbiased' criticisms to muddle the issue and confuse it with an argument about whether the chosen platform is philosophically sound.

Criticizing this kid for his refusal to stand and say the PoA as a show of his support for gay rights is comparable to criticizing Rosa Parks for boycotting public transportation, or civil rights leaders organizing sit in's in public courtrooms and offices because of the unequal rights African American's were subjected to. Don't confuse your opinions with unbiased criticisms about the nature of how someone expresses themselves.

Wow, reading these comments before watching the vid, I thought there was going to be some heavy shit in that video. Turns out it was just an older brother messing with his younger brother for youtube kicks. I'm not condoning it, as the last of five brothers I can tell you every younger brother in history has dealt with far worse than that daily.


Well it depends on your definition of worse. To be honest I think actual pranks and the such are far LESS worse than things like this. My older siblings during one little stint lead me to be impaled through the top of a pointy ornament that went right through the side of my body, later finding out it barely missed vital organs, we slapped two band-aids on each side and that was it until my parents got home and went hysteric over my bloody bedsheets. This now is nothing but a funny and loved story to tell around the dinner table. Don't even get me started on the time they put dirt over my clothes and face, getting me to beg for money so we could buy candy, only to be seconds away from being taken away/kidnapped by some man who said he was going to help me, also now just funny.

But would you really ever laugh about the time your older brother that you clearly respected, completely disregarded your trust? I don't know, maybe I'm overstating it but to me there's normal sibling behaviour we all go through, then there's just being a dick.

I was told to get off something countless times, countless, though I was just told to get off, not "haha not really, I just wanted to watch you suffer!"...seems different?

Rachel Maddow: Values Voter Summit Celebrates Intolerance

JiggaJonson says...

Fascinating indeed. I really think Rachel has it wrong about Carrie Prejean though. There is no way that the would-be Miss USA ever has a chance of holding office IMO. But...Well we did get pretty damned close to electing a moron beauty pageant winner in 2008.

It's frightening to watch people so openly and publicly celebrate intolerance. The people I really feel for are the kids in situations like this. I wonder what dinner table discussions are like at the home of the person who wrote "Why Should God Bless America?" are like for example.

Holy crap. You shot that at me faster than a gay speed freak in Hillcrest. Thanks! I wanted to send it to my sister who keeps spamming me with right-wing propaganda. I'm trying to get my point across with this video and the TED talk about Repub/Dems.

Dude, you rock. I don't care what Blankfist says about you.

Ok, so at least I know I'm not insane.

Well, on this one count.

Hey Rotty,
Can I enlist your Sift prowess? I've been trying to find a video now for about 25 minutes and I can't find it for the life of me. It was a comedy clip showing what each side (the Left and the Right) feared society would turn into. The Right wing fear was shown by two lesbians sitting at the dinner table, discussing their 12-year-old's third abortion, while the Left wing's fear was shown as a fundamental family having dinner, in front of installed video cameras. The mother even breaks out into "America the Beautiful" nervously. And come to think of it, there was a bit in a class room with a Mexican getting a diploma or something. ?

You remember this one? Dude, I've seriously tried to use every search word: left, right, Republican, Democrat, gay, lesbian, fear, to find this. Hell, I even typed in "12 year old abortion", which now makes me nervous if Dag or Lucky ever go checking the logs...

Help! Let me know.
