Why do people on the talkboards, whenever there is a post on holocaust denial, talk all the time about the importance of exercising free speech, instead of just....exercising it.
One outrageousness a day keeps the censors away.
I'll start: Hollywood has ruined the American mind, because day after day all their lives they are taught that the world is divided into good and evil. This simplistic way of the world has basically made America what it is.
Most Europeans, liberals and educated people tend to see the world for what it is - existing in shades of grey. Which is why we don't get enthusiastic about nuking innocent Middle Eastern countries. We simply do not believe they stand for "pure wickedness". They are not a cross between Mordor and Star Wars's Empire. America does not wear white and fights on the side of freedom of the galaxy or the Paladins of Gondor.
Now: second point. Is there a direct link between the simple duality that infects every Hollywood film and the moral dualities of the Old Testament (as opposed to the tolerant forgivingness of the new) ....and why so.
Or,put it this way: who runs Hollywood.
Now, I guess that was an anti-semitic reference. This "nonsense" been exposed to the glaring light of reasonable and intelligent and non biased minds. Now, I look forward to contributors putting their money with their mouths are, what they have been saying throughout this thread, and stepping up to the plate to quash it with the force of their arguments.
(PS The responses I got included: Hollywood is not run by Jews it is run by the Japanese, Sony etc. I responded with an an article by a Hollwood entertainment journalist that quoted Marlon Brando saying on a talk show that there never was any negative stereotyping against "kikes" because they ran it. And then went on to affirm that indeed, 60 percent of Hollywood was Jewish, and so what...the writer was Jewish. Another Israeli writer pointed more intelligently and thoughtfully that The new testement was not as dualistic as I thought, giving examples, and that if Americans hadn't embraced Hollywood, there would have been some other manicheanism to give succour to the stupid...all in the spirit of the piece I wrote. Well done.)
