I traded a short box of Valiant in the last hour of the show for a $900 copy of Amazing Fantasty #15. I had maybe $300 in the books. He sold every one of them in that final hour. He had all the cool books, but no customers even looking at any of them until I traded my books. |

Quote:Originally Posted by DrWatson A funny thing about Godwin's law: Godwin said (before Trump became president) that comparing Trump and Hitler is ok if you do it with a sense of history. A funny thing about what you said: there's no need to roll out the "intolerance" card. This thread was created with the explicit theme "I don't tolerate the CW's agenda of adding diversity to everything". The card doesn't need to be played, it's the name of the game. |

In fact, in support of NFL players, I've decided to take a knee to protest Nazis. . |

Quote:Originally Posted by GanaSoth I'm not sure what any of this has to do with the CW discussion, but believe it or not I tend to agree with you in respect to drawing specific comparisons between Hitler and DJT. No comparison of two individuals separated in history by time, age, upbringing, economics and personal ambitions can realistically be sync'd up. For instance, Hitler served in WWI and reportedly was injured in a British gas attack. Trump got questionable medical deferments for bone spurs that probably never existed. Hitler wrote about his political struggle while in prison and had his writings successfully published in Mein Kamph. Trump had a ghost writer translate his sleazy approach to high finance in his book The Art of The Deal which sold to folks who wanted to learn how to game the system. Hitler's final solution was to ship unwanted Jewish citizens to internment camps before eliminating them altogether. Trump's final solution for illegal immigrants, asylum seekers and Dreamers (most of whom know no other country or language) is to send some to internment camps and hold the rest hostage until he secures a deal on Wall funding, then deport those remaining to an uncertain life or death in their birth country (out of sight, out of mind). Hitler had bouts of uncontrolled anger and was reputed to be delusional at times, but was steadfast in his nationalist vision and always aware of his place in history. Trump has bouts of anger, but usually controlled in public because he's constantly worried about his image. In spite of having delusions about his own popularity, like a child Trump rarely takes responsibility for anything beyond what he thinks makes him look good to his minority base (the buck always stops somewhere else). Hitler believed in controlling the news through government imposed propaganda. Trump borrows propaganda from conspiracy theorists rather than creating it himself. He also uses mainstream news as a foil with his fake news mantra, but understands the Constitutional risks of trying to suppress the fourth estate. Also, 45 seems to get personal gratification from whining about fairness and playing the victim to get his loyal base to rally support. Hitler believed in taking decisive military action which proved to be a successful tactic in conquering unprepared peacetime armies (in spite of the concerns of his Generals), but as WWII progressed he proved to be an inept strategist. So far, 45 hasn't snatched defeat from the jaws of victory, but withdrawing troops from the Middle East early seems ill advised. In the short term this will probably save money by reducing our commitments overseas while pleasing Vladimir Putin, but ...in one of the few genuinely comparable similarities with der Fuehrer... the CiC apparently believes he knows more about military strategy than his Generals. Hitler hated homosexuals and tried to rid Germany and territories under German control of transgender folks, lesbians and other undesirables who were born different or chose alternative lifestyles. Among the nazi atrocities were forced indoctrination and baby farms where genetically desirable women were used as breeding animals for the Third Reich. By comparison, candidate Trump invited transgender Bruce Jenner to use his bathroom in Trump Tower while running for Office, then flip-flopped after the election, banning transgender folks from military service to keep his evangelical base happy and stripping transgender active service members of their rights. Hitler took his own life in a bunker along with his spouse Eva Braun rather than be taken alive by an advancing international coalition of troops. Trump will go down fighting Congress and the courts unless he finds an escape clause. In fact, I predict he'll maintain his delusion of power and innocence even while being fitted for an orange jump suit. OTOH, I predict Melania will make sure her prenup doesn't include a poison pill that involves sharing a cell with him. So, essentially you're right, comparisons between Trump and Hitler are ridiculous. Cheers,  |

| Comparing two people is just dumb. Given enough time in a person's life, everyone will eventually do something that someone else had done. How many of you have been in public shopping store, like a Wal-Mart for example, and used their public restroom? If at least two of you that read this had done so then it's uncanny! That's like hey, how many of you ever went 50mph in a 35mph zone without realizing you were speeding? You have? Omg me too! That's unreal! You can compare Napoléon Bonaparte to Genghis Khan. Eventually if you look hard enough they will & have done similar accomplishments etc. You can compare the Pope against the Empire's Emperor too. See how silly this can get.? |

The narrative is "Trump bad". If something is said enough, it will be believed. |

Quote:Originally Posted by xkonk I can tolerate CW's agenda all day long. I just won't watch it. I didn't watch the Fantastic Four cartoon because of Herbie the Robot. I didn't watch Scooby-Doo when Scrappy-Doo came along. I had no desire to watch the TV show Hazel, because she was stupid and had an annoying voice. I don't watch Walking Dead because zombies don't interest me. There in a huge difference between intolerance and apathy. Intolerance is the unwillingness to accept views, beliefs, or behavior that differ from one's own. I accept the view. I don't agree with it, but it's real for people making those life choices. Apathy is the lack of interest, enthusiasm, or concern. When the show concerns a fictional male character being distraught over his boyfriend's reaction to his crime fighting, I have no emotional connection to that. I am therefore apathetic to the story being told. If it was a real person that I knew or worked with, I would be compassionate. I'd feel that the lifestyle invited certain complications, but I'd care about the person's feelings on a human level. I have no desire to go down that rabbit hole in fiction. It doesn't interest me. As far as "adding diversity to everything", the show is adding narrow and specific aspects of diversity. One definition of diversity is "a range of different things." I would go so far as to say that CW is not adding diversity to their shows. The alternative lifestyle agenda is an ongoing and consistent theme. My problem with the CW shows is the lack of diversity. |

| my television set has at least three knobs .....volume...meaning I can lower the volume and just watch supergirl which is fine with me....she is what I enjoy most anyways.....then there is the channel knob where I can go from something I don't care for to something more desirable and finally there is another button ....it turns the set off so I can go read a comic book instead and supergirl still looks just as pretty.... but understood they were all manufactured this way. our country is an experiment in freedom and also allows for free speech expression and also by extension freedom of and from religion. watch what you like or don't...raise your kids how you wish but when it comes to tv and media most of that responsibility comes down to parenting....do or do not...again your choice but do not interfere with my own right to choose | ||

Quote:Originally Posted by shrewbeer There is some truth to the symbolism, but bear with me. A lot of folks get the same vibes from a MAGA hat that they get from chanting tiki torch carriers who've upgraded their wardrobe from pointy white bedsheets with eye-slits to polo shirts. Alas, only this POTUS would have the audacity to say "... very fine people on both sides" after the murder in Charlottesville. Factoid: Intolerance was D.W. Griffith's second feature length film. His first was The Birth of A Nation which was directly responsible for the resurgence of the KKK in the 1920's. Coincidence or conspiracy theory? Quote: Originally Posted by GAC Well, in a true democracy with a literate electorate it would be unthinkable to elect an unqualified person to High Office, especially after the other highly qualified candidate won the general election by over 3 million votes. But in a representative democracy too much clout is given to underpopulated rural states without providing a means to protect the sanctity of the voting process against the undue influences of money and foreign bad actors (Vladimir Putin). At that point "great" becomes whatever the power brokers want it to be, which is not so great. . |
