Civics 101 Guidelines
Want to argue about politics? Healthcare reform? Taxes? Governments? You've come to the right place!
Try to keep it civil though. The rules still apply here.

From my brother's Facebook page...
We need to ban these chain license plate frames.

It is just glorifying slavery.

I weep every time I see one.
I'm always still in trouble again

TrialsRally (brain don't fail me like this). Utterly sympathetic to the Nazi Party.
And it also without a doubt a treasure of a movie.
Gone with the Wind, likewise, is also good. No one can question that this movie is one of the best pictures ever made. Like with Triumph des Willens, we cannot watch it and not feel at least a little bit of sting at seeing say Hitler celebrated, or seeing the naive depiction of black slavery among the Confederate. Yet I know of no Jewish organisation who wants to ban the movie everyone would imagine they'd take the greatest, and arguably most deserved, offense to. And I don't see why Gone With the Wind shouldn't be considered as anything other than a movie that was a product of its time. You could never, and should never make that movie today, nobody disagrees with this, but it stands on its own, a product of another era and in its own right a fascinating movie.
It would be sad to see it swept under the floor.
On the other hand no one is mandated to show these movies. In my opinion that remains a local decision by those who want to show those.Last edited by Leonhard; 09-07-2017, 11:56 AM.
