Then the star was discovered naked and strangled, supposedly by his own hand in some auto-erotic episode in Thailand. I just can't seem to watch the show in the same light anymore. After all that Shaolin training, he still didn't have the sense that god gave a... grasshopper. A truly entertaining movie, Shaolin Soccer. Find it watch it, this is the trailer.

This has nothing to do with people actually trying to solve problems in any sincere way. I hope it's obvious that our politics really isn't concerned with ideological positions anymore. It has been either win or lose. It started with Gingrich imo but became public knowledge when McConnel and his gang of merry men met and made a pact to deny Obama at every turn. Give him no victories regardless if it was originally one of their ideas or if it would have helped their constituents. These merry men also made a pact with Grover Norquist about no tax increases. Signed a pledge. They also signed a pledge with those who elected them but that was not a high priority pledge. This says nothing about how I feel about compromise and working with opposing ideas. And searching for a "middle" as you say, is not the goal. Its just a unspecific place where compromise usually ends up. It could end anywhere though which is why the middle is not a metric I would use. I'm of the theory, that it started from the beginning and evolved to what it is today with media putting more out either fragmented, whole or otherwise.

dbcaptiron Posted March 17, 2018 Report Share Posted March 17, 2018 17 hours ago, World Citizen said: Loved that show...until I found out it was supposed to be Bruce Lee's role. Ironic one of Lee's goals was introducing Chinese culture to the west and Hollywood pulled a Hollywood on him and thought him too Chinese for American audiences. Still shake my head on that. Another good point if your going to bring up the show.... Everyone that liked the show (at the time) understood this, Kung Fu was never considered any 'American' tradition. For those watching today probably more important to note. I did allude to it tho....with the 'American' Kung Fu King crack... It IS also funny to note that when it comes to box office or cash, the left will discriminate and self-serve just as quickly as the right, but on the bright side, the formula worked so think about it this way......NOT so ironic given the stated goal....if my goal was to introduce a sport I like to a foreign culture and that result was achieved without me personally waving the flag, but replaced with a 'mix' of the two cultures....I would still be very happy. Not saying what they did was right. But as the results worked well for such a tricky task (and very possibly much better than if he had personaly waved the flag) I can't really say that there should be any 'love lost' out of reverence to Bruce. Point of fact, that show probably did more fore Bruce and his career than many of his own, as it created an 'American' audience for his martial arts and he was most certainly one of the greatest benefactors of having his stated goal being achieved... Besides...I check that shit at the door, If my goal is to relax, be entertained, and watch a good show.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say Bush, in 2000, galvanized a national voting block of Evangelical Christians (he did this to his advantage in TX first) which served as the bedrock for what we have today. Fox news, by design, brought the message to a wider audience and it all merged into a organized and powerful political force where an ideology (like religion) came before state (traditional compromise).

Fox News reaches < 5 million in a typical night. The left-of-center mainstream media (ABC, CBS, NBC,CNN, HLN, MSDNC, NPR...) reaches 25M+. Think about that, Mr. Thoughtful Guy. I'd also note that when challenged to explain your assertion that the RNC has moved right, you invariably give one of your useless ("If I have to explain.." schpiels and then run away.

Soooooooo ....seeing as all you have is opinionated conjecture to offer on topic....maybe we can try this.... You know it....we all know it.... When I just so happened to be alive in the 90's, i kinda remember it a little differently than you.... as far as 'extremism', well DEM righties (pun) was tryin to spit all over the constitution...left and right (another pun) Bans on music come to mind for a 'music lover'... Got some REAL good stories about them Bans on obscene T-shirts locally in Seaside for you if your interested.. Bans on everything, and holy crap Batman....They even had more gun rights and the world was a safer place.... Today they do stuff like get suspended for going to class in school, instead of attending the liberal protest..... .....and all 'radical hell' breaks loose??? your 90's to now comparison is laughable... your conviction in claiming no need to back up anything you say, is sleazy at best....and always has been and Easter eggs LOLOL would stay and debate, but (since and as you prefer) there's no need to back up anything, I'm off to Paterson for Patty's day... cheers! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HawgGoneIt Posted March 19, 2018 Report Share Posted March 19, 2018 @HSFBfan The GOP's effort to halt the lower court's redrawing of the gerrymandered districts in Pennsylvania was tossed out of the SCOTUS.
