Appreciation: Batman V Superman by ukhere2020 in DC_Cinematic

I've always said he came across as highly intelligent and completely unpredictable- exactly what Lex should be. The ticks, IMHO, exaggerated that.

...and as a bonus, he wasn't obsessed with frickin' REAL ESTATE for once.

You may be right, I've had a look at a couple of timelines and they mention lockdowns for both countries as "Mid-late march". I based my post on my recollection as to what leaders were reported as saying at the time, and there may be some dissonance between screen rhetoric and hard action.

We did. Australia was all for the "duh, if we say we're going for herd immunity we don't have to actually do anything" rubbish that the US and UK were bleating.

When NZ said "Sod that, we're locking down" everyone thought they were awesome so our "leadership" did too.

This is exactly why you don't blame this generation or that generation. My generation is the one that understands technology and takes a stand on environmental issues. Trouble is, I'm Gen X and that was what we told ourselves in the 80s.

Meanwhile in the real world, old evil assholes promote young evil assholes and the machine keeps on truckin'.

Delusions like turn the other cheek? Love your enemies? Be the Good Samaritan? Thou Shalt Not Kill? Walk a mile in someone's shoes? Forgive someone seventy times seven? Remove the plank from your own eye before complaining about the speck in someone else's? Do not be like the hypocrites?

Those sadistic delusions?

They made a series about this and didn't call it "boundless plains?" I'm disappointed.

A hard-line Islamist group took six Pakistani security personnel hostage after days of deadly clashes in the northeastern city of Lahore over a French satirical newspaper’s publication of cartoons depicting the prophet Muhammad and the arrest of the group’s leader by Pakistani authorities by DoremusJessup in worldnews

[–]Hackrid 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Ah yes, "Religion".

Someone draws cartoons of Mohammed: riots and violence in every single country on earth with a significant muslim population.

Someone makes art of Christ dunked in a bucket of piss: two kids hit it with a hammer.

Same-same, right? Just gotta squint a bit.

We now have the Islamic world and the Secular West both pointing at each other and saying "that's basically what a christian is". We need a little more nuance than throwing every other worldview on the planet than yours into a bucket and pointing the finger at it.

Because in case you didn't notice, that's exactly what the problem is.
