Deadpool is probably my favorite comic book movie because I like Reynolds and enjoy most of the humor and Deadpool 2 has a few jabs at Fox News and conservatives (actually surprised they didn’t create a mini outrage about liberal Hollywood making jokes about them in blockbuster movies)

Personally I enjoy most of the Marvel movies as fun popcorn flicks to watch. None of them have had great storylines or anything like that but they have entertained me enough where it was worth the $8-$11 for a ticket

My mother's side of the family is so grossly deplorable.

My cousin on FB: Ok, I have done my very best to avoid political rants over the past year. I didn’t comment on Peter Strzok and Lisa Page. Not a word on the IG reports, no comment on the booming economy and tax cuts, zipped lips on the William Jefferson Clinton interview with regard his actions in todays “me too” movement. Not even a whisper on the progress in North Korea and the effort to even the playing field with both allies and advisories with regard to trade.
But as it is funneled into my facebook feed and every news cast I can no longer contain myself. I will preface this by stating that I have 4 kids and I would NEVER under ANY circumstance EVER do anything that would put them in harms way.
A simple lesson that I would have thought everyone would have learned… reinforcing negative behavior and reinforcing positive behavior.
Ex #1 Mr Jones walks into his bank to refinance his home loan that he has always paid in full and on time. Bank--- Sorry but your house is underwater and you can piss off…
Mr. Goldbrick walks into the bank and states I haven’t paid my payment in 10 months and I want to refinance.
Bank--- sounds good we will waive the interest and penalties and write down the value of your home so that you are sure to qualify for a good mortgage.
Outcome… Mr. Jones is very likely to break his contract and be a Goldbrick… and Mr Goldbrick is likely to still NEVER make a payment and squat in that house for the next 12 to 18 months.
Ex#2 Mr. Jones decides to break into his neighbors house and steal some money and rape Mrs. Johnson.
Judicial system: Mr. Jones you are going to jail, for 10 year you will not have access to your wife or children and will likely lose everything that you have for BREAKING THE LAW.
Outcome… Mr. Jones thinks for a second and decides that perhaps he should choose to not follow such a DUMB line of thought and go to work and do his best by his wife, children and the Johnsons.
Ex#3 Mr. and Mrs. Hernandez decide to cross the border into America with their 3 children illegally. They claim “asylum” and are released on their own recognizance and asked to please return to a hearing 120 later…but rather than return they fade into the either.
Outcome… Every person that is thinking of crossing the border illegally realizes that if they have some kids with them would make it a lot easier… ( I wont even mention what that line of thought would encourage)
Ex#4 Mr. Escobar thinks he is going to cross into America illegally with his wife and kids but realizes that he will be separated from his children (in a VERY similar way as Mr. Jones would have been for breaking into his neighbors house) and remembers that his children are HIS concern… not the US citizens and does the right thing for his family and applies for a legal path…
Moral of the story… if you can't figure it out perhaps ask you 10 year old.

Me, after reading some AMEN responses and the like: "Why stop at imposing complex childhood trauma? If we're strictly looking at this through a behavior theory lens - deterrence, positive punishment effects - then lets not pussyfoot around like the PC police libruls.

It's time for border patrol to grab rusty spoons and gouge brown kids' eyes out at the border. Maybe neuter their parents with it while they're at it, solve a future problem. We all know psychology is liberal nonsense anyway, the threat of REAL trauma is the only way to get the desired effects."

I'm supposed to sit down with this sonuvabitch in two weeks for dinner, bringing my wife my kid and my mother in law with me. Her mother came to the States from Colombia after I married my wife, a product of the chain migration this guy openly detests. I'm also aiming to sponsor my wife's brother who's currently scratching by as a 40 year old farm hand of sorts in Colombias "red zone" but think I'm running out of time because Trump and *******s like my aforementioned cousin are xenophobic bigots who very well might prevent my brother in law from immigrating here, improving his possibilities tenfold while being a productive member of society.

Last *****: This cousin, while ranting endlessly about bootstrappy nonsense, failed TWICE at business ventures, requiring my even MORE deplorable uncle to financially bail him out to the tune of about $100k, but this 3rd real estate gig has panned out so now he's been even more public about work ethics and lazy cultural problems of minority groups.

Swear to God I'm a coin flip to get in a fist fight over dinner a few weeks from now and permanently sever ties with my mother's entire side of the family. Haven't spent any real time with them out in Utah since my political awakening around 8ish years ago.

because 20th century fox made that movie. They'd be arguing that they allowed jokes against themselves.

Oh right that doesn't matter anymore.

I couldn't do it. I'm fed up with these people that don't give a single **** about people or about this country. I'd probably punch him in the stomach as hard as I could and tell him to **** off.

No bull****, think it's more likely than not that he runs his mouth and I f***ing lose it to the point of permanently blowing up relationships with mom's entire side of the family. Like I'm no tough guy, he's definitely odds on fav to whoop me in a fight, but seriously can't imagine not losing my cool and it getting physical regardless.

Bush was far right in a different way. While Trump was more fascist, Bush was more focused on religious purity and instilling Christian values in public venues. He definitely had more empathy for minorities than Trump.

Yeah, I'm with you. I was a yuge comic book nerd as a kid too so I've enjoyed even the bad ones to some extent. (My two other nerdo friends and I used to buy comics, read them ONCE, then place them into plastic sleeves where I assume they remain to this day...one kid wound up with all of the books after the rest of us outgrew them and I know damn well he's got a few valuable gems in there, assuming he kept them).

I remember seeing Superman (1978) in theaters and being blown away by it, even after seeing Star Wars the year before. And Superman was pretty terrible by today's standards (though it's still one of my all time faves, what a monstrous cast!). But the dialogue was, well, like a comic book, which describes 90% of those movies. To me that's what makes Deadpool so freaking good. I never read anything like that in my books.

We all know that the budgets for these movies aren't focused on storylines and scripts, they're going to fx and paying big name actors to be in them. I'm pretty much OK with that.

OK wtf is this **** that pops up after every click on the site today?

Deplorable parables always deliver.

Bonus points when the "take responsibility for yourself" message comes from someone on government support whose rent is paid by their parents.

He gutted programs for the poor to pay for his never ending campaign of war and torture, gtfo with this “Christian empathy” nonsense. Stop trying to normalize the W administration.

The Bushes have a long history of being good on racial issues back to abolitionist times. The Walkers were slave owning new money jack asses though.

Dudeimbetter I have a cousin who went to vcu , has liberal views, and does social work. I’m serious . I just have to ask if we are related or not?
06-20-2018 , 03:52 PM
If you aren’t involved in really hardcore metal or whatever, I’m not a music guy so don’t know how to explain it , but you know ramones, dead Kennedy, misfits type stuff then you aren’t the cousin I’m thinking of. If you are...
