Quote from: Phe should renounce his father.

and then at the last second, beg for his forgiveness.

classic
Those who say that the totalitarian state of the Soviet Union was not "real" Marxism also cannot admit that one simple feature of Marxism makes totalitarianism necessary:  the rejection of civil society. Since civil society is the sphere of private activity, its abolition and replacement by political society means that nothing private remains. That is already the essence of totalitarianism; and the moralistic practice of the trendy Left, which regards everything as political and sometimes reveals its hostility to free speech, does nothing to contradict this implication.

When those who hated capital and consumption (and Jews) in the 20th century murdered some hundred million people, and the poster children for the struggle against international capitalism and America are now fanatical Islamic terrorists, this puts recent enthusiasts in an awkward position. Most of them are too dense and shameless to appreciate it, and far too many are taken in by the moralistic and paternalistic rhetoric of the Left.

Quote from: Onomatopoeia
Quote from: ranemaka13She then asked if 6 million Jews were killed, to which he responded, "Sure."
"Sure" is the answer you want to give when you don't want to say "yes," but saying "no" will get you in a lot of trouble.

I'm not too sure, but I remember reading somewhere that historians disagree as to the actually number (like it was closer to a million or something). Maybe Mel subscribes to that idea, that the number of deaths was exaggerated, but he didn't wanna start something, so he just said "sure". Or maybe "sure" as in "murders are murders, and what does it matter if it was 10 000 or 10 million, it's still terrible".

I dunno...

God forbid anyone ever interview my folks.  I'm sure some of you feel the same way.  In the Diane Sawyer interview Mel shared that he doesn't really share the same views as his father...but it's his pop, what're you gonna do?

I think everyone can understand that to an extent.
We live in an age that reads too much to be intelligent and thinks too much to be beautiful.

2 hours, and absolutlely NO previews or commercials per Gibson's request.  It would be funny if someone put on a Hellboy preview though.
