| 33339 | Old movies set in the past | Stand by Me, which was released in 1986, was set in the 50s. | Mr Magic | Jan 23, 2017 |  |
| 33338 | Inauguration Day | <blockquote rel="Ajimbo"><b>Ajimbo wrote :</b><br><i> Really? The protesters don't have a reason to march? They are just "bored" and decided to take a walk at the same time, on multiple continents, on the same day just by coincidence. That dismissive attitude is why they are protesting. Women have issues that are exclusive to them, their reproductive rights, and the health of their bodies, but lawmakers who don't have a basic understanding of the female body are able to pass legislation to cut funding for their health resources. Trump's pick for the Supreme Court could potentially overturn Roe v. Wade, which would punish women and not give them a choice over their bodies. You don't see the issue, but that doesn't mean they don't have one.<br><br>I doubt you guys spend money on tampons, pads, and hormonal birth control for yourselves every month, but women do. Does that mean feminine hygiene isn't an issue just because men don't have to buy those things? No. <br>Would I get a better understanding of the price, purpose, and actual use of those products by asking a man, or a woman?<br>Maybe I'm weird, but I'd say a woman knows better about their own bodies than a man. Now, imagine that man is like Trump and he wants to cut funding to free clinics and Planned Parenthood. He doesn't even need to set foot in one, know what it is or what they do, or know anything but the name. Is that good politics? Is that good for women who rely on them? What are the potential ripple effects that would cause? Can you say in good faith that Trump would actually do the appropriate research and verify facts before signing a bill into law or even tweeting something?<br>That is why women are protesting.<br><br>Trump's vitriol toward women during the campaign, amongst other groups, does not give women hope that they will have their issues addressed fairly, or at all. If any politician could pass legislation to strip away the bodily rights of women, it would be him. He flip-flops, lies, and lies about lying, but we're just supposed to trust him blindly? "Nothing we can do folks, he's in charge." Women are protesting because the First Amendment of the Constitution allows them to exercise that right. <br>Even Trump himself called for protests and a march to Washington during Obama's second inauguration. It's hilariously ironic that people are using his words against him. But he proved his words don't mean anything, his actions don't mean anything, and yet he somehow convinced a lot of his supporters that everyone is lying but him. That is dangerous for everyone. What if a bill he signs into law causes problems? Who will he shift the blame? Will he just say he never signed it and backpedal? I would not put that kind of act past him. He tried to weasel around during the election by saying it was rigged in case he lost, but he won. He is the President and has to be held accountable for his actions and words now. He can't pass the buck anymore, it has to stop here.<br><br>No one wants the country to fail, but he is the most disliked President for a reason. He earned this reaction during his campaign through his own actions. People are not happy. If women weren't protesting, people would say they didn't have any issues. Now that they are protesting, people dismiss and ignore their issues. What exactly do you want women to do?<br><br><br> </i><b>-end quote</b></blockquote><br>Thank you. That is pretty much the point I've been trying to get across.<br><br>I still find Magic's comment about how all the women protesters are "bored" to be very facepalm worthy. When you think there's no issue women are fighting against just because you're not in their shoes, that's the type of attitude that really divides us apart. By gender, race, religion, etc. Plus, like I said in my original post about the women's march, this is just a first step. There's other things to fight against Trump based upon his own actions. For instance, he doesn't believe in global warming, which is the biggest ecological threat that will happen if the action is not taken. He hired climate skeptic as the head of the EPA, which is could be an ecological disaster. Even more evident, the climate change webpage is taken down on the White House website. Fighting for climate change is another thing that needs to be done while Trump is president.<br><br>It's clear that Trump doesn't care about anyone but himself, which is why we need to keep fighting while Trump is around. Not to tell them "Oh, Trump is president, just get over it".<br> | blueluigi | Jan 23, 2017 | |
| 33337 | Old movies set in the past | One that comes to mind is The Private Life of Henry VIII, played by the great Charles Laughton. Filmed in 1933 which of course focused on the Tudor era of Britain<br><br><img width="300" height="600" src="http://criterioncast.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/PLOHV-Poster.jpg"><br> | Linux_Sage | Jan 23, 2017 | |

| 33334 | Last Movie You Watched | Last movie I saw in the theaters was Passengers. It was OK. I like sci-fi movies but this one spent a bit too much time on the romance side of things. I was more curious to the world outside of that. Still enjoyable for the most part though<br> | Linux_Sage | Jan 23, 2017 | |
| 33333 | How was your day? | Yeah these storms are hammering the south all over. People are even dying. Really hope this stuff lets up soon. <br> | Linux_Sage | Jan 23, 2017 | |
| 33332 | Star Wars Episode 8 | That would be the appropriate time to show it. | Mr Magic | Jan 23, 2017 | |
| 33331 | Last Movie You Watched | The Rage: Carrie 2<div><br></div><div>Could've been better. The party scene was cool, though.</div><div><br></div><div>It's a movie that asks "Who are your real friends? Who do you trust?"</div><div><br></div><div>I'll have to give this a 2 1/2 star rating. Pretty bad sequel.</div> | Mr Magic | Jan 23, 2017 | |
| 33330 | Star Wars Episode 8 | Maybe a trailer will drop during the superbowl! | echidna64 | Jan 23, 2017 | |
