    You are a good man.

    I do not find swearing offensive. I do not find puppets pornographic. I never saw the scenes you describe. Perhaps in an effort to exalt yourselves, you guys rented the unrated version ?

    I do not watch TV. So I think it would be STUPID of me to be critical of a show I refused to watch. I do not take other people's words for things. I feel sorry for those that do.

    I also feel compelled to add, anonymous people who post other's personal info online in an effort to make them look bad are both sick, and cowards. Anonymous people who exalt themselves by commenting on the info publicly posted are just cowards.

    I'm surprised anyone here would ever like anything by the creators of South Park when they were the ones who animated the segment of Bowling For Columbine portraying conservative gun-lovers so negatively.

    Yes. What happens to Liv Tyley & Matt Damon at the end was especially gratifying. Hans Blix dies a hilarious death, as well.

    I never saw the movie, so I cannot comment on it. I saw "Roger & Me" and decided I wouldn't watch any more of his movies.

    Trey Parker & Matt Stone parody EVERYTHING. Hollywood, jam-band festivals, lesbians, Mormons, Scientologists, Catholics, nothing is off-limits.

    All I can say is you are very liberal when it comes to accepting immorality in films.

    I have not nor will I ever watch this film. If you cannot see its offensiveness and if you consider it a good film then all I can say is you are very liberal in your view of the appropriateness of immorality.

    From a review:

    As I said, if you do not find these incidents offensive, then you are extremely more liberal than I am concerning morality.

    Imagine that....Crabby and I have found something to agree upon. This movie is pure and utter filth. I can't believe that any Christian would watch it.

    What does it mean, anyway ? That my views on what is going on in Wisconsin are compromised by this ? Are you guys serious ? Have I EVER told you how to live ? What movies to watch ? What shows on TV ? What books ? Are you telling me every book CTBoy has claimed to read is pure ?

    Pretty silly, folks.

    Never said I was better than you Curtis, but when you go calling people out like you are you doing it isn't very effective when you are blatantly living in sin.

    It's just a way for some to avoid the subject at hand.

    Some don't want to deal with it. Others want to excuse it by diverting attention to you.

    He wasn't calling them out for the sin in their lives, but their political hypocrisy. Giving them an opportunity , at least on this one occasion, to shed that hypocrisy.

    None have done so.

    Living in sin ?

    Blatantly living in sin ?

    No, you aren't saying you're better than me. Not at all.

    Actually, I took CTBoy off my ignore list long enough to see he at least addressed it. Not exactly a stern repudiation, more of an excuse, I thought.

    I'm living in sin as well. I'm no better than you in that regard. The only difference is that I'm ashamed of my sin. You don't seem to be ashamed of your sin.

    Yup. Threads like this sure make some people feel good about themselves.

    Thanx for the facebook messages.

    I do not recall seeing any post telling you how to live, what to watch or what to read. You have been told that this movie is a cesspool movie.

    I believe for some of us it is hard to see how a anyone claiming to be a conservative Christian can defend profanity in language and blatant immorality in entertainment. Can you explain that to us?


    And now out comes the “I am the victim,” statement. This is a rather condescending and sophomoric response. By the way, there is none good but God … so none of us can say we are good.

    I commented on Wisconsin … violence is bad regardless of where it comes from. Violence begets violence begets violence. Revenge begets revenge begets revenges. There is no place for violence or revenge in the life of a Christian. Remember Christ said in Matthew 26:52 ---

    Do you agree that death threats and violence is wrong regardless of which side of the political aisle it comes from?
