What is amazing about Avatar is that it's the highest grossing movie of all time and yet it's had almost zero influence on society - I'm almost tempted to view it as a video game, not a movie, lol.

Avatar (2009) - a mixed-bag but entertaining movie
by LoveUniHateExams inso a few months ago i saw avatar (2009) from beginning to end for the first time.. if i'd seen this when i was ten, i'd probably have loved it.
i find the film entertaining but i do have issues with it.. the movie is beautiful to look at, and there's definitely some interesting concepts.. but star wars it ain't.. first issue, the na'vi: these are blue-skinned humanoids with tails.. my first question is: why do blue monkeys who live 5 light years away on an extrasolar moon have african accents?!.
i know what writer/director james cameron is doing in this film.

So, a comic villain called Red Skull has been rewritten as a Jordan Peterson-type character.
(I'm not joking, Red Skull appears with the words 'ten rules for life' and 'order and chaos'!)
So, some bright spark made this meme, lol …

Derek Chauvin - The Right to a Fair Trial
by Simon inanyone following the derek chauvin trial?.
if you are actually following it, not just listening to the media, you will likely realize that there is a huge gap between what is going on in court and what is being reported in the media.. if the trial was fair, i think he should be acquitted.
there is plenty of reasonable doubt about the cause of death (his dealer doesn't want to testify because he could be guilty of 3rd degree murder for selling him a fatal amount of fentanyl) and even doubt over whether the officer even had his knee on the guys neck or did anything counter to what they were meant to do as per policy.. but is it fair?

And thirdly, should breaking the law, being an addict or passing off fake notes (because you are an addict) be deserving of a death sentence?! - no, but all those things may cause problems, even serious ones.
If George Floyd had complied with police and got in the car, he might still be alive today.
There's a lesson here for people - black, white & brown - to learn ...
Live within the law. Comply with police officers.
^^^ Not hard, is it?

Anyone following the Derek Chauvin trial? - I'm starting to follow it now.
I can't see Chauvin being found guilty of murder. The prosecution needs to establish in court that Chauvin intended to kill Floyd and then went ahead and did it. And the available evidence just doesn't support this.
I think he may be convicted on grounds of manslaughter or criminal negligence or something.
Then, there's gonna be huge amounts of violence and looting. Er, sorry, 'mostly peaceful protesting', lol.
Here's an interesting video by Ben Shapiro. Apparently, a witness for the prosecution was so popular with Chauvin's defence team that his lawyers are gonna call him for the defence.

Could this have happen if Floyd was a white guy ? - yes, and it already has.
Check out this little vid.
@1min 15secs, there's a list of white people killed by cops. And @1min 50secs, there's the case of Tony Timpa. He was killed in the same manner as George Floyd.

He put a knee on his neck for eight minutes till he died of asphyxiation - but did he, though?
Lauren Chen discusses this in her video. Note the photographic evidence that Chauvin had his knee on George Floyd's back at times, as well as his neck at times.

Should “Children” Be Allowed To Decide That They Want To Change Their Birth Sex? - no.
Just no.
Children usually aren't allowed to even decide what they want to eat for dinner.
PS - you can't actually change your birth sex. Biological sex is immutable. Caitlyn Jenner was born a biological male (XY) and will stay that way until death.

Are You Concerned About Inflation?
by Simon ini saw a statistic the other day that something like 25% of all the debt that the us has incurred since 1776 was created in the last 12 months.
that's because they have printed so much currency and instead of letting that stop them, they are going to continue printing more to go on a spending spree on crazy green-new-deal schemes and union handouts.. does anyone think that this can be anything other than inflationary?
they are effectively stealing the wealth of everyone to then hand money out to people.
