Yeah, I'd definitely have to disagree with his criticism's of Schindler's List. The movie wasn't at all a "success story," but of one man who risked everything to at save some people from destruction in a world gone mad. The movie (and I liked it by the way) still made me want to vomit and definitely made you think "how in the world did these things take place?" and "would I have had Schindler's balls - what does it take to stand up to those men?" I certainly didn't feel like everything was nice and neatly wrapped up at the end because in the second to last scene you still have Oskar Schindler weeping over the few more he could have saved despite having saved over 1,100 lives. He wasn't at all triumphant over his success, but broken over having wasted what could have been used to save more.

These comments really sicken me. What's so terrible about what Pennypacker said? Is it because he made controversial contrarian comments and added the word "neolib"?
Please stop ridiculing and picking on the dissenting voices on this site. This is exactly the issue I take with majority opinion whether it begins from the left or right; it breeds not only sheep, but self righteous hatred. When you hear a voice of the minority, it should be our human duty to embrace it and make efforts to understand it instead of ostracizing it outright. To me, there is not a higher purpose for a man than to shirk his belief system so he can try to understand another's, and I defy anyone to prove me otherwise.
I simply do not understand this place anymore. It is filled with beautiful understanding people, yet when dealing with a political dissenter they demand blood (pardon my hyperbole).

Beautiful. Spot on. Bravo. Upvote, quality, the works. You're right, I'm wrong. I apologize on the behalf of all liberals. Our bad.

Wait, there was more?

Additionally, I'm growing more and more tired of people creating political fabrications to control opinions:
My great friend DFT is labeling Hitler the same as Bush, saying they're both right wing as if being right wing makes you evil like Nazism. This is nothing more than political posturing and beneath us all. Hitler's party was the National Socialist German Workers Party. You seriously cannot get more left than that!

Hypocrisy! You condemn people who casually toss out Nazi references, and then casually toss out a Nazi reference?!

Boo! Hiss! I demand blood! Kill the nonbeliever! This is like arguing with a Nazi dining room table!

To be perfectly honest, whether you're left or right has little to do with whether you're an authoritarian committing genocide or not. Your left and right politics doesn't make you evil. You have to make a choice, as a leftist or a rightist, to be evil.

Too bad this sounds a bit like "even if you're a leftist like the Nazis, you can still choose to do good! Like Oskar Schindler!" after that Godwin turd you dropped in the middle of an otherwise feel-good comment.
