  Here's the OED definition of racism:

  1 Prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against someone of a different race based on the belief that one's own race is superior.

  1.1 The belief that all members of each race possess characteristics, abilities, or qualities specific to that race, especially so as to distinguish it as inferior or superior to another race or races.

  Trump's comments are often dumb and crass, no doubt about that. But are they racist?

  The problem is, to some people, virtually everything is racist these days. Some people think the film Gremlins (1984) is racist. They see the little green monsters as a metaphor for the African-American community. And because these little green monsters were trashing a pub, getting wasted, dancing like maniacs, shooting each other and generally being violent, well, that's supposed to be a dig at the black community.

  The idiots Hollyweird destroys the Bond Franchise

  99% of the people who go to bond films want a straight white english bond with a bit of light sexism and some bond girls thrown in.

  they do not want a tranny bond or a gay or lesbian bond.

  and they do not want a black woman bond.

  They can if they own the rights - only artists can create art. A corporation is not an artist so cannot create art.

  Ian Fleming was an artist who created the fictional character James Bond. No corporation can legally take his creation from him.

  Let me give another example: Disney does not own The Force Awakens (2015). The person who created that piece of art owns it, in this case JJ Abrams. Disney doesn't actually own Star Wars. It's creator, George Lucas, does.

  Yes, I know Disney paid Lucas 4 billion dollars for the franchise but ownership of a piece of art stays with the creator of that art.

  What Disney can do is sue anyone else that makes a product for sale and tries to call that product 'Star Wars'. Only Disney can legally sell Star Wars products. But the ownership will always be the intellectual property of George Lucas.
  

  Here's another example: George Lucas created Han Solo. So, because Disney bought the franchise from Lucas, Disney can hire a film-maker to put out a Han Solo film (which they did). But Disney cannot just decide to make Han a black woman.

  What Disney could do is hire a film-maker to create a film with a female outlaw/pilot type character. But it wouldn't be Han Solo. And if that happened this new female character would be the intellectual property of the person who created him.

  Hollywood can't change James Bond.

  James Bond was created by Ian Fleming and was always supposed to be a white, straight man.

  So James Bond cannot be otherwise.

  Hollweird *could* release some kind of spin-off 007 movie that features a black woman or Idris Elba.

  The free market will judge the film. If it's good, it'll make a ton of money; if it's crap it will bomb.

  Is there such a thing as true religion?

  by Half banana in

  “it is the only religion which doesn’t go to war.

  we have friends in every country on earth and we all think alike---we have the true understanding of the bible.

  we are the true religion which god approves………..” says the jw.. to put jws in the context of the question of true religion, we first have to get an insight into how a jw thinks and these points above are the selected criteria chosen by jws to judge themselves.

  Is there such a thing as true religion? - short answer, no there is not.

  People are allowed their beliefs. If they believe in some kind of sky-fairy, well, ok, fine - as long as their beliefs don't harm anyone else.

  But WT beliefs do harm innocent people. This is where the government and other authorities need to step in and slap the GB and WT defenders down.

  Kids who have JW parents MUST be given blood transfusions if they need it - I don't give a f**k what their parents believe.

  Also, any allegations of child sex abuse MUST be referred to the appropriate authorities straight away - again, I don't give a f**k what anyone else thinks.

  Congrats, Simona Halep!

  simona halep has just given serena williams an absolute ass-whupping, winning her first wimbledon title.. so i guess congratulations are in order.. but, i gotta say, if i'd forked out loads of money for a courtside seat i'd be a bit disappointed.

  the match lasted just 56mins, with halep winning in straight sets 6-2 6-2.. surely, it's time for the women to play over 5 sets in grand slam matches?.

  And Djokovic won the men's final yesterday. It was a 5 hour epic.

  Greek salad for starters sounds great!

  For my mains I guess I'd have something to stay with the Greek theme, so I'd have Beef Stifado with vegetables mixed in. It's a Greek stew, to go with the Greek salad.

  
  

  And I'd have a few glasses of a nice, full-bodied red.

  Why do women play fewer sets in the first place? - I don't know why.

  It happens only in Grand Slam tournaments - in other tournaments both men and women play best of 3 sets.

  The women don't hit the ball as hard so, yes, their games are a bit slower than the men's as a consequence. But that still doesn't explain the 5 sets vs 3 sets thing.

  I mean, women footballers play for 90mins, just the same as the men.

  Excellent OP, Blondie.

  I wonder if they report the abuse of a jw child by a non-jw? - yes, I think they definitely would. Because 'it's Satan's system'.

  Here's another question: what actions does the WTS take to protect non-JW children from JW paedophiles?
