I believe sarcastistic would be the correct term. And sarcasm is typically rooted in belief. | | | | Hal | | | | Last edited: by hal9g |

No, facetious was the correct term for how I read the post but, as I said, I could be wrong and it very well may have been sarcasm. | | | No dictator, no invader can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever.

More factual than the bible my man. Kindly explain this reference. I do not believe that I have mentioned the bible or any religious reference of any kind. Or do you just like to bash the bible for the fun of it? | | | | Hal |

scotthm said, and I am paraphrasing here, that there is something wrong with people who enjoy slasher films. A generalization that, IMHO, is idiotic on it's face. My, my, such a lot of commotion about one seemingly innocuous opinion. --------------- |

Agreed...especially when he owns films like Jurassic Park, which contains more violence and suffering than Saw does.  I see you've been peeking at my collection.  I even have two 'R' rated movies in there, though I haven't actually watched either of them yet. --------------- |

I see you've been peeking at my collection. Indeed I have. Someone who made the type of statement you did should not own films that depict human suffering for entertainment purposes. JMHO. | | | No dictator, no invader can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever.

(In general), if people would realize that generalizations are just that, and not statements aimed at them specifically, they would get far less offended.
