Tinkerbell in Tears After Disney World Spat

spoco2 says...

Oh come ON!

It's a perfectly valid rule they have, otherwise any dick could dress up as Mickey Mouse and be a shithead to kids.

Fricken mountain out of a molehill. Disney did the right thing by giving them free clothes to wear, they were perfectly good about it, so screw her for not looking into it beforehand, and for getting worked up over it when they were obviously allowed to stay.

She needs to grow up

Funny, I was looking at the video and had almost the same thought than you. Except that being european I knew it was not happening here either

This is in Las Vegas, Nevada, specifically, Caesars Forum Shops Northern Entrance. There are a lot of out-of-work people that create various costumes and prance around the sidewalks for tips, some offer dance shows (street dancing) while some just stand there as still as possible, 2 of my favorites are: Freddy Kruger and the iconic man from Monopoly (supposedly in pewter).

Fun fact: Walt Disney was walking through tomorrowland in Disneyland, when he saw a cowboy walk past him. He asked "Why is this man here?" to which someone replied "The break rooms are in tomorrowland, he has to go through it to get there". Walt was incredibly unhappy with this, because it broke the illusion.

When Disney World was being conceived, he made sure that a system of tunnels was built underneath the park so that this situation would never happen again.

^ None of your points state the reasons for why these things did or needed to or shouldn't have occurred. There's more to situations than just the short points you wish to convey. Without the background to define the value of such actions/decisions, you and the video are both presenting one-sided views for preferred agendas.

>> ^lantern53:
First President to arbitrarily declare an existing law unconstitutional and refuse to enforce it.

^ A number of your points seem to be strategically vague. Example above, it wouldn't have been difficult to state which law you refer to, or to include a link for additional info.

>> ^lantern53:
First President to terminate America's ability to put a man in space.
^ This is not what has happened. They're spreading the capability of space exploration to the private sector to reduce costs so NASA can focus its costs on other technology advancement and space exploration projects. This in no way conveys that American Astronauts will not be going back to space. Also worth noting that you don't have to work for NASA to be an American in space.
Don't get me wrong, i was disappointed to hear the cancellation of the 2020 moon mission as well, but the reasons for it are mostly 'building other foundations for exploration and spreading the costs'.. also this doesn't mean there couldn't be a revisit later down the track once better technologies are at hand.
Personally i think it's a good idea to have private sectors taking some of the cost burden away, as they will help to advance additional new space exploration technologies that NASA could also use for later moon, Mars etc missions.

First President to go on multiple global 'apology tours'.
^ This one is taking the mickey isn't it? Under the last President and Vice-President, the US quite effectively caused concern to a large portion of the rest of the world with the 'let's go in guns blazing regardless of what others say' position.
Now I'm not saying that's ultimately wrong, indeed in some cases it would be quite right to do so.. what I'm saying is that other countries saw that the USA did not care what the rest of the world had to say in relation to these world-wide matters, which was understandably concerning to some, and the current President was introducing himself to the word leaders in person so they could see that he wasn't war hungry.

First President to golf 73 separate times in his first two and a half years in office, 90 to date.
^ It's called recreation. If you don't think that the position is stressful enough to require regular relaxation so one can maintain mental stability required to take in lots of information's across many subjects and make difficult decisions, then you should reconsider the differences between what you do, what the President does, and how much time you each sit around doing nothing to advance the country and it's relevant stability.

Cheers for all the points made, good to see another one-sided view to compare to the video's. Makes it easier to asses the value of the contents.

Assessment (at first glace with brief researching): the goods that were done, out weigh the bads.

Well done Obama, keep heading in the direction that looks like you actually care about your citizens.

Ok here's some of my ideas. The first thought of course is that there needs to be a revolution. But what would that achieve - the people that have the money and the power would still be there to influence the new Government. So the only way to achieve real change (not ObamaChange) is to get rid of the people making this mess and also stop the mechanisms that allow it to happen. So serious thought needs to go into listing all the major ways by which corruption is occurring and may occur (legal and non-legal) and then even more serious thought needs to go into better alternatives or proposals. This list of changes then needs to be put forward and if the changes are not made by the existing Govt., then the people need to demand that the Govt. steps down and be replaced by one that will make the changes. Until people are willing to put their lives on the line for this, things will just continue to escalate downwards.

In my opinion the first change that needs to happen is with the media. All of these millions and billions of dollars that get raised/spent to fund campaigns have one major purpose - to buy time with the media outlets to spread a message. Staggering sums of money are being given to mainstream media outlets by the GOP/Dems to spread there propaganda, how on earth can we expect those same media outlets to provide honest coverage of events when they are taking hundreds of millions of dollars from people that don't want honest coverage. So no matter what happens in terms of election funding, the first and most important step is to break this connection between political parties and media channels so there can be honest rather than 'balanced' reporting.

So of course, the next major change that needs to happen is to switch to a publicly funded election system.

Then other issues/resolutions should include at the very least:
Lobbyist influence : An outright ban on lobbyists making donations
Lack of accountability : There needs to be a direct link between what people vote for and what is delivered, i.e. the platform that a candidate runs on cannot be changed or watered down once they take office.
Corrupting influence of power : There needs to be a better way of restricting the time groups or individuals can stay in power/office.
Environmental degradation : Environmental laws need to be improved and updated with assistance from experts, scientists and community members.

Also, one issue that is close to my heart, but others may find silly is the issue of advertising. Advertising has allowed for the widespread popularity and adoption of fast food. The fast food industry needs to be looked at in a similar way as the smoking industry, and the costs of advertising for a fast food business need to matched by the public health cost that the business will have on the population at large. So in other words, advertising for Mickey D's, Wendy's and other chains that sell rubbish needs to become prohibitively expensive, because the damage they are causing to the people in the way of obesity, diabetes etc is of epic proportions. This approach should really be applied to most aspects of industry, so for example the oil and gas industry provide an energy dense product, which by comparison to other forms of energy is quite efficient - however if the cost to the environment is taken into account, it becomes less attractive, so I think more thought needs to go into sustainability in policy making.

Anyway, that's just a couple of examples, my main point is that a systematic look at corruption in the system needs to be completed and documented and then the well thought out and logical changes need to be implemented. I mean, protesting individual issues is good, and sometimes it even works, e.g. with the SOPA 'win' and the Keystone XL 'win', but in the long term it's just not enough to have anything but a delaying effect.
