Just speculation but that might have been at least reinforced by the old Saturday Night Live parody of Star Trek, where Dan Ackroyd played Dr. McCoy: Spock (Chevy Chase): Do you notice any else odd about their clothing, Doctor? McCoy (Dan Ackroyd): I'm a doctor, not a tailor, ::insert mild...

Well the Fonzie thing is a good example of an eye-catching headline. But usually real life is a little more complicated. ;)

Eh, Sesame Street has always had double meaning jokes that kids won't get until they're older. That's not a big deal to me. It's a lot better than mainstream kids films who make blatant dirty jokes with no attempt to hide them. Adults can find "dirty" in such about everything, that doesn't...

Wow, I just had a dream last night about someone asking me for advertising advice, lolol.

Oh is THAT where that came from? Thank you, I've been wondering about this for ages. People are always quoting from that on other, completely unrelated videos I've seen, lolol. True the really hardcore advertising can get expensive, hehe. But really I would recommend just going around to...

I didn't see it as backing away from the issue of death at all. If you listen to Mudwell's song, it's about how in nature things change, rather than just go away ("one day it's an ocean, one day ice in motion, one day it's a tear drop in your eye"). Plus the idea of a resurrection after death...

Well advertising is an industry in itself because it's a very complex process that takes a lot of time to formulate. So it's not unusual to have difficulty. It's all about trial and error, patience and a lot of research. :)

Actually that's very true. You're right, sometimes people dismiss advertising your website as "shameless plugging." The key is to build a relationship with a Web community first, and then casually mention your website, people will be more likely to respond. :) Not that is always works. If it...

I mean when it comes down to it, villains are often ten times more interesting than the good guys. To a certain extent, the good guy has to be serious and responsible and it can get boring. And makes them feel inhuman and unrelatable The villain often has more freedom to be humorous or...

I've actually never seen the movie all the way through. I've just seen the trailer a bajillion times, lol. I really should get around to it at some point! :insatiable:

Gotcha. What I had in mind was diplomacy, trying to mediate the two sides somewhat. I can see where that comes across like rationalization but I more trying to be more of a mediator. If that wasn't apparent, then I should presue a different career, lol. ;) That kind of happened to me once. We...

Well you're half right...I was wrong this time. ;) I honestly thought you'd said you weren't. So that's my bad. My apologies. :) Honestly I don't think we'll get much further here. I respect you and enjoyed the debate. But I'm not just making excuses and honestly it hurts after awhile to keep...

Actually no, I'm not. I assume you've never been Catholic, right?

Um, Christians have always been on top? Catholics were never specifically oppressed by other denomations? Not according to History. :wisdom: And anyway, that's not what I was saying at all. I wasn't saying it's all because Christians were bullied. I was saying that calling them the "biggest...

Exactly! :halo: Well no offence but that partly depends on who decides to do the tainting. What a coincidence, so do I. ;) The so-called "biggest bigots" are no strangers to being oppressed themselves. And not because they're intolerant either. And no those are not excuses. It's putting...

I agree with what you're saying. I'm just kinda surprised you figured I would agree. I mean, what with my being a big bad Christian and all...heh. Sorry for the sarcasm but you see what I'm saying as well?

Well from my point of view, we were having an intelligent debate and I enjoy it as well. But if you think all my points are just "excuses," then I'm honestly sure what else I can say. Except the usual, agree to disagree. ;) But I do wish you well in any case, I hope that's understood. :)

Yes, of course they're called to a higher standard (though frankly I think everyone should be). But forgive me if I'm wrong, it just feels like you're demanding nothing less than perfection and then when you don't get it, you decide everything's wrong. I've said that there are a lot of...

Well like you said, it's only an analogy, a metaphor. A parable is not meant to be a full fledged story that makes logical sense all around. Its only purpose is to deliver a particular message. To delve in it too deeply is the same as over analyzing a movie. "It's just a show, I should really...

OK here's a slightly different example. I've noticed that fans (and um, non-fans) of the film Ferris Bueller's Day Off, often seem to disagree on whether the character of Ferris Bueller is a hero or a villain. Apparently there was this essay written online about how Ferris shows all the...
