To be honest Real Engineering was risking too much trying to make content to a nation of 1.3B.

sorry this is a problem too american for the rest of us to sympathize about.

that’s not nice if you have kids and a wife. Again, you’re arguing from a single person’s perspective. I agree it might sound like a good time to you… it sure as hell isn’t practical for anybody with any sort of social commitment. you gotta understand that.

of course they will never come out and say it. Are you incredibly naive?

you’re dumb if you think American companies won’t find excuses to fuck with American consumers for profit. America is a land where morons blame regulation for things while corporations have been controlling the policy for decades and laugh as people play diversion for them often for free.

what your original argument was suggesting was to buy the expensive first class tickets and pitch a tent in the middle of a quarry and hunt squirrels for food at your dream destination. Might as well not book the flight in that case.

What sort of parent will say no to popcorn at the movies? Especially if their kids ask and its supposed to be a fun night out?

You don’t seem to understand that you can’t always say no or you might ruin the day for somebody else and in extension… yourself

That just tells me you’re single. There’s never any scenario in which you spend 0 at the theatre if you have family, even more so if you have kids.

When was the last time your employer told you in your interview that your job was going to be X and Y responsibility only, and it was actually true throughout the job? it’s difficult to trust your boss not to overload you after cutting your pay.

You only dislike the labor because they make a lot of money. But in practice they are in a similar situation to yourself or any other worker. (unless you don’t work, then forgive me)

I don’t think you will appreciate it if your employer suddenly decided to pay you half your wage out of the blue. And any kind of reduction of workload offered is usually a false promise… would you keep quiet?

On the other hand there’s its always good to fight for an artist when the opponent is Disney.

maybe that was what he was implying in the first place: “A profit seeking entity made this?”

Your definition of abuse and neglect is not universal. let each parent decide.

hey the definition of criminal is set by fallible people so don’t pretend it’s the be all end all!

“criminal” is such an encompassing term that seems to put murderers, rapists, drug peddlers who sell to children vs. some weed smokers, falsely accused people, white collar criminals, petty criminals including shoplifters, jaywalkers, etc.

You can’t seriously think someone who steals an apple from a shop needs the same treatment as a violent unrepentant murderer?

ignoring evidence is apparently adulthood now

you can’t find anything recent?

hey you seem to have this boner for punishing people instead of helping them. Most parents want the best for their children. their lack of means is not something we should punish the children for.

we can spot from space, the africa sized hole in your shitty counter argument

So we counter extreme bahvior with more extreme behavior? That’s the world you want to live in?

Violence is not to be repaid in kind if rich people inflict it with the help of the government?

You’re naive if you think any kind of reasonable change can happen without bloodshed. The peace and stability you have grown up with and come to love was gotten with a lot of bloodshed.

That’s the world that’s created for us. That seems to be the only kind of action that’s moving the needle. Working within the system is an idea sold to chumps so they obstruct real change.

Putting a bullet into a bastard scares the rest of them so they at least slow down in their unquenchable lust for power and money.

You’re gonna roll eyes on the answer or already know what needs to be done. We need to change the system so people are less inclined to shoplift.
