When an, any, intelligent adult on this board can answer that question, I would love to engage and reply


Of course it's hypocrisy - But that's not the disturbing part as we are all, to some degree/area, hypocritical in my opinion. The disturbing part is how deeply our particular personal politics influence 'discussions' in and around really really really complex and multi-layered topics like abortion - Just like other really complex topics (like gun control or immigration) they become totally contaminated and perverted by politics. It's a shame.

(by definition that excludes the idiot called “canpakes”.)

He/She is not an idiot (I have read enough of his/her posts to be extremely confident in this opinion) He/She simply holds a very different set of political views as you do (Or as I do for that matter)

Would love to respond but Shades has recently determined, and blocked my responses, on the account that my intellect undermines his control here. You’ll have to ask him for permission even to let this response through.

Shades is a ROCK however!

Forgive me for redirecting your anal attention to the concept of “ Disney/Iger hypocrisy”. China, arguably next to No. Korea, has one of the worst track record on human rights in the world.

If Disney/Iger believe that pulling out of Georgia for a law that was passed in our democratic manner, why would they not abandon their theme park in China with the human rights violation of that country?

Please, take a day off from ignorance cinepro! Think before you post!!

Just so I'm clear, you said:

"They will film in China with no human rights at all. They will film in countries with sharia law that women have no rights and gays are put to death."

...and now I'm "ignorant" and "anal" for asking if they actually film in those places?

We must have different understandings of what the words "ignorant" and "anal" mean.

If you acknowledge you were wrong about the filming and instead would like to change your claim to theme park operations, which countries with sharia law has Disney built theme parks in?
