@Faket Shame, other than the ending I didnt find it so bad.. but it is low budget so understandable I guess.

@Wetrix I dont trust anyone who doesnt cry when the mama dies!

@Rado1 A boy can dream!

@Wetrix Same, I mean I'd try to climb it, but by the 3rd rung I'd just lock tight in place and be unable to move.

@Faket I know right :( it wasnt half bad until that damn ending!

@hanswolters Weird, I dont appear to be tagged here yet somehow was notified of this message as if i were tagged...

Watching the Land before time (original 1988 version)... why do I do this to myself, already tearing up!

@pants

Ahh I see what your saying now. I actually didnt even realize that the parenthesis were his comments and not part of the quote either. I thought you were complaining about how he added his commentary after each quote.

@Vectorfield

@pants @Vectorfield @swiley @bonifartius @mathlover Sorry I didnt understand this:

> Because no one can be quoted who uses parentheses?

@Vectorfield @swiley @bonifartius @mathlover

@pants

That rule is new to me, as long as the person makes it clear what part is the quote and what part is his own words I'm not sure I see the problem and never heard that objection before.

@Vectorfield @swiley @bonifartius @mathlover

@icedquinn the catholics seem to remember jesus saying a whole lot of things apparently :)

Interesting Fact of the Day (tm):

The priests of the spanish inquisition were strictly opposed to bloodshed of any kind due to the biblical scriptures where Jesus abhors bloodshed.

Now any reasonable person would think this might be contradictory to the torture the priests employed. But if there is one thing we all know, an evil person will find a loophole in everything, even a religious evil person. They determined that torture was perfectly acceptable so long as it didn't shed any literal blood for this reason hanging, the rack, drowning, and many others were perfectly acceptable according to their twisted mentality.

Another little twist was with mutilation, which was forbidden by the church at the time. However the pope in 1256 (Alexander VI I think it was) told inquisitors that despite being a sin they were allowed to absolve each other of sins after each session. Effectively a loop hole allowing them to mutilate their victims during torture.

@Pat well just because I have no fear doesnt imply ill be dancing along high-wires either :)

Climbing the worlds tallest antenna at 1768 feet high... I can not express the levels of anxiety watching this gave me.

When I watch this i keep flipping between two thoughts "what if your hand slips! How many people die doing this"... and "Ok this is really the only big fear I havent conquered, how could i learn to do this".. not that I ever would, it might be too big a fear to get over. But I learned to scuba dive out of a fear of it (partly) and while the first dozen or so dives were very scary after that it wasnt scary at all, now I dive down to where the light doesnt reach and wont bat an eye. I have to wonder, could I maybe learn to overcome a fear of heights the same way? Maybe I should learn to mountain climb...

@Vectorfield

To be fair I did bring up some of that earlier, that these communities often seem to censor the extreme right, but then cause the same harm internally in their own communities by oppressing those in the community who are moderator or otherwise call out the anti-ethical position of its own members, not surprisingly being called nazis and exiled.

So yea I agree these are problems that go with extremism on either end of the spectrum really.

@pants @swiley @bonifartius @mathlover

@pants

Doesnt sound like your disagreeing at all.. if your challenging what you hear and not assuming it to be a dog whistle (in other words asking the intent explicitly) then you are doing exactly what I suggested, that is, not assuming a dog-whistle is a dog-whistle

@mathlover @bonifartius @swiley

@pants

Thats the danger of the dog-whistle spotter.. as real as dog-whistles may be they are designed (as the name implies) to be easily mistaken for innocent comments as well. So best to try not to assume when you hear one (as I'm sure you usually do)... in a way its a bit insidious on their part, part of the point of a dog whistle is to get you to question who is or is not using it as such and as such get well meaning people to start accusing each other.

We really have to do our best to not follow those tendencies.
