[therealGLAD]

an opinionated review of skyrim's main story, now that would be something ;)

[sfdebris]

@therealGLAD I started writing one, but then I took an arrow in the knee.

@sfdebris What kind of dick bag would flag a tailor?

[enlightedjedi]

there is some trouble in the legal issue of accesing those money giving the fact that he always changes identity.

@doctorwhoknows1 It is superfluous to have this supercentinarian claim to be Jesus Christ. It is stupid. It is crap and it adds nothing that couldn't have been done in a less retarded manner. If the goal is considering what life would be like for somebody who has lived so much more than everyone else, such could be done in so many myriad manners without making that particular claim. Consider the show Highlander and the Immortals therein, they have various histories each of them.

[doctorwhoknows1]

@Iamnotaparakeet there's a big difference between thinking a movie's content is bad and thinking movie's content is immoral, which are you suggesting?

[Iamnotaparakeet]

@doctorwhoknows1 You are wrong. I'd like to share this movie with friends. The subject of antediluvian lifespans and otherwise such greater than is currently the norm is of interest to me. Having such crap in the movie detracts too much from the subject matter of interest to be worth sharing. Hence, everything I've already said.

[doctorwhoknows1]

@Iamnotaparakeet the likes of you who want to limit others's ability to express them selves artistically simply because it upsets you, have the nerve to lecture me about selfishness

[doctorwhoknows1]

@trlkly on the handful of times in my life I have been offended by something another person has said, I viewed my offence as my problem and not something I have any right to blame the speaker for

[Iamnotaparakeet]

@trlkly I've not seen that TOS episode so I don't quite know exactly what you're referring to with it, but for this movie it basically does go about calling Jesus a liar. It didn't need to even go there. Even the Bible records people living for centuries, both before and for a few generations after the genetic bottleneck of the Flood with lifespans decreasing on a sigmoid curve. This could have been a better movie if they truncated that which was extraneous.

[trlkly]

@doctorwhoknows1 Or, quite likely, have active hostility towards.

[trlkly]

@doctorwhoknows1 I actually had a post that contained all the most offensive language I could muster, starting with the N-word and ending with blaming your attitude for 9/11. But I can't do that to not only other people, but even to you.

The point is, unless you have a psychological disorder, there is something you care enough about enough that to sully it would offend you. You only say blasphemy and offense shouldn't matter because it's about something you don't care about.
