  1. The point of this tread is "do we have to condemn old movies that had things  we'd hate today" and essentially seal them away in vaults dropped in the mariannas trench IR can we accept them good and bad?

     

    If a movie was made by someone with a terrible side that was not widely know outside the insular Hollywood community, and KT was good, do we have to condemn it after his dark little secret comes out?  Now if I know someone has something intolerable about  them it doesn't matter if he makes something good, I won't watch it. Like Stephen Collins . I won't burn my star trek the motion picture DVD because of him but I would bit watch a new movie with him in it.

     

    Also after they made ”valley of the wolves" I would not watch a movie with billy Zane or Gary busey in it but I still like "predator 2".

    I think he placed the mark and curse on Cain, because Cain was afraid of having vengeance rained down on himself.   But, I'd have to check on the details, to be fair.

     

    Note: though that would imply more people in the world than the decendants of Adam, but anyhow

     

    Edit: Well, I am pretty sure Cain's punishment was to be cast out of his homeland to become a wanderer.  Exiled, essentially

    Some myths claim Caine was doomed to be separate from people forever and as people spread over the earth he was forced to go to the moon to keep away from people, so "the man in the moon" was Caine.

    He's going to 1800 feet.

     

    1800 feet.

     

    Any money on him coming back and saying  'Yep, earth sure looks flat from here.  Flat earth confirmed!'

     

    Which will be publicity for his campaign.

     

    Also his statement that rocketry is just 'formulas and stuff', not 'science' is amazing.

     

    A cessna private aircraft has a ceiling of 13,500 feet. See:

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cessna_172

    good god these people are true idiots. foir a fraction of what he spent on this suicide ride he could have chartered a cessna and gone like 7x higher.

    1800 feet?! I can get higher than that by standing next to my neighbor's window in summer and inhaling...:snicker:

    It's worth bearing in mind that Franklin freed his slaves and become president of one of the earliest Abolitionist societies so he gets credit for being ahead of the curve.  

    Um, ben franklin never became president contrary to popular belief and i don't know if he freed his slaves. thomas jefferson did become prez and freed a few of his slaves. Yes franklin freed his two slaves at his death. just checked. out of 200+ slaves jefferson owned he freed 5 at his death.

     

     

  5. You know HPL was pretty racist and most of his works had racist themes. He even wrote a poem about the origin of black people that was pure racism. The american horror writers guild stopped giving out awards in his likeness but it seems that he's still popular and games themed after his work keep on coming out.
