Hurried' home last night after a business trip in another part of the country so that my wife could watch the Oscars. I was impressed by the fact that there were a bunch of self-righteous, arrogant conduits of filth and vulgarity praising themselves for pushing the moral envelope to new lows. Now, this morning they are hyping it to nausea on via the ministry of propaganda.

Interesting how a clique of people can go about there daily lives producing the garbage that they do and claim that it's only acting and that it has no lasting effects on society while the evidence indicates otherwise.

Even more intriguing is the fact that many of them will attack those of us who stand for the RKBA as they continue to render major contributions to the moral destruction of our nation.

Will Beararms,

I've read your post about pot smokers and the Hollywood types espousing their brand of morality. I couldn't agree more with what you've said. I share your views and I praise you for telling it like it is.

Your RKBA friend in the fight to oppose moral decay!

While I agree for the most part with your synopsis, it has to be noted that we have no one but ourselves to blame.

In the marketplace of ideas, "we" have decided to buy the same old worn-out trinkets instead of real gems.

FWIW, the typical Hollywood film is now made for 14 yr old boys, who constitute a disproportianate number of all movie goers. So next time you watch a movie with nauseating drivel all throughout, just remember who the target audience really is.
 
Most Hollywood films commit the unpardonable sin of being BORING, plain and simple. I have nearly stopped going to see movies from Tinseltown. The action movies are insulting to anyone over the age or IQ of 16, and the dramas tend to be too "politically correct" to be palatable. Invariably, the previews tend to be the best part of most movies.

I find it hilarious that Hollywood thinks it is SO important to America. If its product disappeared tomorrow, I doubt few people would care after a (short) while. Most actors actually believe in their own importance. Of course, from what I've heard and read over the years, that's because they tend to be overwhelmingly vain, egotistical, maladjusted little people. It's such a pity that some people in this country actually look up to them as role models. Almost to a person, they are worthy of nothing but scorn.

I don't have a big problem with "the Hollywood types espousing their brand of morality," because that's part of having a free society. What I have a problem with is that ONLY Hollywood's version of morality (collectivism/socialism) is taken seriously and trumpeted by the media.

BTW, I don't have a problem with responsible pot smokers. It's the irresponsible pot smokers (or beer, wine, or liquor drinkers) that really chap my hide. And, just for the record, I don't use drugs, but I do enjoy an occasional cold beer. Any drug, and alcohol IS a drug, can be used irresponsibly and to excess. I know, and I have the scarred childhood memories to prove it, courtesy of a couple of good, loving parents who pulled a real Jekyll and Hyde routine on each other when they drank.

Okay, I will carry this further. I was what many would consider a "Pot Head". I now hate it and I can tell you if I was dead set on destroying a society, I would make sure plenty of reefer was available seasoned with a steady diet of Hollywood.

No intentions to flame here. Just a counterpoint if you will. I respect your opinion DAL, but I must disagree with the term "responsible potsmokers". I'm interpreting this to mean "recreational potsmokers" NOT those who have a legal prescription. Having clarified the issue, I say "responsible potsmoker" is oxymoronic. Maybe I haven't checked the law lately, but marijuana is illegal. It is breaking the law to smoke it and sell it. Smoking pot, regardless of the intention or character of the person, is in no way a responsible act.

It is a sad commentary on our society that many people are so engrossed with hollow role models such as these Hollywood types. Reality is hard to face and hard to live but it's always worth it.
 
Havent had a Television for 15 years and don't miss it, too many books to read, chores to do etc. My friends don't know how I do it - effortless actually. If it werent for the discovery or learning channel they'd be worthless. Occasionally a good movie comes out. Its got to be good if my dad recommends it so I'll usually go and see one when he does.
 
Okay, there's some bad logic here.
Most of us agree that there are some bad laws.
Unconstitutional laws, just plain stupid laws, and laws that don't do anything.
If you lived in a state that prohibited deadly force in self-defense, would you run away and merely call 911 if you walk in on a rapist with your wife?
I hope not. So what if it's illegal, I would shoot the SOB.

Clearly, the Prohibition of alcohol did not stop people from drinking it, and is proven to have fueled organized crime.

So, why does the illegal act of using marijauna automatically mean you are irresponsible?
Quite obviously marijauna is tied to much irresponsible behaviour, but so is legal alcohol.
And, there are plenty of instances of responsible alcohol use.

Now, I'm not suggesting that we all go out and start smoking joints, but I think that to call a behavior irresponsible solely based on its legal status is to poke holes in our own logical arguments supporting RKBA and individual determination in our lives.
Many illegal acts are wrong.
Case in point: Even if murder was legal I would find it a horrendous act.

But, just 'cause Big Brother says something is a no-no doesn't make it wrong.
Applies to the use of guns, and the use of drugs, and to everything in your day.

A similar logical argument: Did God lay out the 10 commandments because those acts are evil, or are those acts evil because God said so?

Man, I thought this thread was going to advertise the address to the next TFL 10kegger. Very dissapointed. Back to the books.
