Re: Global War on Terror Version 6 - Perpetual Motion Machine

I completely disagree. I think you're missing something if that's how you feel about Gotham's Bruce.

I will admit that I have a pathological hatred of how the character has transformed over the last half century from an interesting "the ultimate detective" to a boring and frightening "fascist but you're not supposed to notice cuz he's American, BOOYAH!"

I can think of no other metaphor for the suicide of American morality than what's happened to Batman.

Well. Maybe Jersey Shore.

Why do you hate America?

The billionaire who would rather put on a suit and beat up criminals rather than address the root of the problem. It's about as American as you get :D

He lies to his girlfriend, too. And you know he's plowing Robin.

Come to think of it, he sounds like a strong GOP candidate.

Stolen from another board:

"I don't like Muslims, satire, guns, or the French so I don't know how to react to any of this."

So now we talk of cartoon characters and television trivialities instead of how "We are from al-Queda in Yemen" is the most important quote of the day. (It matters not if they really were or not; their intent was to invoke that specter.)

"T word" folks. "T word."

clearly imperialism.... etc. The world's on fire... but that's an impolite topic and we know its a capital offense to be impolite.

Yes, let's give them exactly what they want by running around shiatting our pants in fear while putting them in the spotlight. :rolleyes:

which is what we're doing by not talking about it... "oh, you can't mention that... that might hurt feelings"

A quip that came across one of those evil blogs I read. Is Mohammed himself a Muslim extremist?

It's one thing to call out those responsible and what might be (almost certainly is) motivating them, but it's something entirely different if you're living in fear of them.
