Honestly having just read the demands being made you can kiss the movie industry goodbye. People go to movies to escape not be indoctrinated. As for the Oscars, when did they start being political, its been going on for years... IMO. Some of the picks, some of the acceptance speeches...

Lightman replies on Sep 9, 2020:

@Starlight Nah small companies have less resources and fewer staff... they will never fill the criteria. Have you seen the criteria? Oh and they are never likely to be up for an Oscar.

@DeplorableToo Gotcha? OK. We've had a big hole down here for decades and it won't close till 2050 at the rate it is diminishing. The ban on chloroflurocarbons has been the main reason its closing. China however are now producing more of them than ever before. Your hole is annual and opens and closes and this time a polar vortex... very cold air caused it to open much wider. It is now closed. Ring NASA and check if you don't believe all the sources I quoted.

Who tend to go out and protest, flood the Internet and Social Media and even MSM. Who by their very nature support counterculture and even violent demonstrations etc. Whereas Conservatives have never usually participated in public discourse, riots or demonstrations.

The hole in the ozone layer—a portion of Earth’s atmosphere that shields the planet from ultraviolet radiation—first opened over the Arctic in late March when unusual wind conditions trapped frigid air over the North Pole for several weeks in a row.

Lightman replies on Sep 6, 2020:

@A1fredo Breathing is something your body does automatically. If you tried to stop breathing you'd simply pass out and start again. Talking is a choice... obviously breathing regularly helps with talking normally. https://www.beyondblue.org.au/the-facts/anxiety/signs-and-symptoms What anxiety does to your body? Immune system Anxiety can trigger your flight-or-fight stress response and release a flood of chemicals and hormones, like adrenaline, into your system. In the short term, this increases your pulse and breathing rate, so your brain can get more oxygen. This prepares you to respond appropriately to an intense situation. What are the 6 types of anxiety disorders? 6 Major Types of Anxiety Disorders Separation Anxiety Disorder. Specific Phobia. Social Anxiety Disorder (Social Phobia) Panic Disorder. Agoraphobia. Generalized Anxiety Disorder. Can anxiety damage your heart? The effect of anxiety on the heart Rapid heart rate (tachycardia) – In serious cases, can interfere with normal heart function and increase the risk of sudden cardiac arrest. Increased blood pressure – If chronic, can lead to coronary disease, weakening of the heart muscle, and heart failure. Is it my heart or anxiety? People who suffer from panic attacks often say their acute anxiety feels like a heart attack, as many of the symptoms can seem the same. Both conditions can be accompanied by shortness of breath, tightness in the chest, sweating, a pounding heartbeat, dizziness, and even physical weakness or temporary paralysis. What is Cardiac Anxiety? Heart stings, palpitations, shortness of breath – patients with cardiac neurosis believe they feel symptoms of a heart attack but are physically completely healthy. Where do the complaints come from? Heart (anxiety) neurosis is also called Kardiophobie or Da Costa's syndrome. It is one of the anxiety disorders As you can see, any number of these forms of anxiety can be physically very disruptive and distressing.

Are police disproportionally killing (unarmed) black men?

Lightman comments on Sep 5, 2020:

Let's not cherry pick eh. Apparently not true re "blacks" overall ... see Heather MacDonald and the official statistics. More "blacks" are killed by "blacks" armed or not.

Lightman replies on Sep 6, 2020:

@TheMiddleWay Well, we've been over this before. Like I said let's not cherry pick for an agenda. I suggest anyone interested look at Heather MacDonald's stats. There is a group here for it. Here is another source of information. Also in the US, police forces vary... they are not uniform in their recruitment or procedures. The crime demographics also vary... however, overall the one thing that can be said is that more "black" people kill "black" people than police do.

Lightman replies on Sep 4, 2020:

@Thaw I'm happy to acknowledge as do a great many others that Kevin is an obsessive anti-semite. Kevin MacDonald is the neo-Nazi movement's favorite academic. A psychology professor at California State University, Long Beach, MacDonald published a trilogy that supposedly "proves" that Jews are genetically driven to destroy Western societies. After the publication of a 2007 Intelligence Report exposé detailing MacDonald's anti-Semitism, his teaching duties were reduced and many of his colleagues publicly condemned his racist research. Media reports about MacDonald's testimony hit CSULB like an earthquake and led to some soul-searching among evolutionary psychologists who had worked closely with the maverick psychology professor. Steven Pinker, the Johnstone Family Professor of Psychology at Harvard University, wrote that MacDonald's work fails "basic tests of scientific credibility." Another scientist, John Tooby, who, along with his wife Leda Cosmides, gave the field of evolutionary psychology its name in 1992, directly challenged MacDonald's work. Tooby told Salon.com in 2000 that "MacDonald's ideas — not just on Jews — violate fundamental principles of the field." John Hartung, the associate editor of the Journal of Neurosurgical Anesthesiology and an associate professor of anesthesiology at the State University of New York, called MacDonald's The Culture of Critique "quite disturbing, seriously misinformed about evolutionary genetics, and suffering from a huge blind spot about the nature of Christianity." Since the 2000 Irving trial, MacDonald has produced a lot of new work on Jews that is in high demand in white supremacist circles. MacDonald was welcomed with open arms by the Charles Martel Society, a white supremacist organization created in 2001 by Bill Regnery, a publishing magnate who also bankrolls a white supremacist think tank, the National Policy Institute. Anti-Semites also rave about MacDonald's works. The former Klan leader and infamous neo-Nazi David Duke extols MacDonald and cites his trilogy as central to his thinking about the dangers posed by Jews in his autobiography, My Awakening. Longtime neo-Nazi Victor Gerhard wrote in a 2003 E-mail exchange that MacDonald's The Culture of Critique "is completely true; that to rail against blacks and Hispanics without mentioning Jews is like complaining about the symptoms and not the disease." In late 2006, the department passed three resolutions prompted by MacDonald's research. One strongly condemned the knowing misuse of psychological research "by groups that disseminate views of racial/ethnic superiority and/or racial/ethnic hatred"; the others defended academic freedom and supported diversity. The news of MacDonald’s involvement in A3P prompted student activists to ...

@Thaw And.... On November 11, 2003, in an interview with The Washington Post, Soros said that removing President George W. Bush from office was the "central focus of my life" and "a matter of life and death". He said he would sacrifice his entire fortune to defeat Bush "if someone guaranteed it". Soros gave $3 million to the Center for American Progress, $2.5 million to MoveOn.org, and $20 million] to America Coming Together. These groups worked to support Democrats in the 2004 election. On September 28, 2004, he dedicated more money to the campaign and kicked off his own multistate tour with a speech: Why We Must Not Re-elect President Bush delivered at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C.

@Thaw Here ya go, someone else saying something else... "Businessman George Soros “is destroying Israel from the inside”, his organizations “are working day and night with an unlimited budget to rob the country of its Jewish identity”, conservative commentator, adviser Yair Netanyahu said on Tuesday in Budapest." Gee Soros really sounds like he works for those Joos trying to take over and rule the world doesn't he. More... "Yair Netanyahu claimed the EU was funding hundreds of “radical Soros organizations” in Israel with a vast amount of money. Their common goal is to end the Jewish state in its current form, he added." So how is he seen by a great many in Israel and its government...? "Hungary can help Israel by putting pressure on the EU by not supporting Israeli radical NGOs and companies with millions of euros. They are anti-Zionist, anti-Semitic, anti-Christian, anarchist, and Palestinian supporters, some of whom are even launching uprisings and barricading freeways, he listed. Some organizations aim to eliminate Israel’s Jewish identity, while others seek to flood the country with illegal immigrants, he said. These organizations receive legal and other services from Soros and the EU and are therefore extremely strong. Although they represent only 5% of the population, they cause terrible damage to Israeli democracy, emphasized Yair Netanyahu." Wakey wakey, he is exactly what I said he was an old demented obsessive Progressive who wants to see the world run how he sees fit... religion has nothing to do with it.
