“...The Walt Disney Co. remains committed to creating diverse and inclusive content that resonates and matters,” said Bob Iger...”

Will they include people who disagree with Colin Kaepernick? Will Mr. Iger show true diversity and inclusivity by allowing those who respect the flag, the people who died for it, and its representation of liberty and justice for all?

A fully flourishing lifestyle is one that fits the orientation we all share as human beings. Nature and reason inform us that we are all oriented toward a reproductive coupling in a monogamous lifetime relationship. Any lifestyle that rejects this only hinders its members, and any government that promotes it is not helping anyone, let alone the Japanese gender confused couple or throuple or...

Distinguishing people because of their skin rather than their character=racism.

Kneel to God.

Take a knee to the woman you are asking to commit her life to you.

But never to anyone or anything else under Heaven.

Just one point I would like to make. Mr. Takei continues to falsely equate predetermined traits, such as skin and hair color, with predispositions, such as sexual attraction that is based on genes but also developmental noise and environment.

This false equation only hinders the Civil Rights Movement.

Thank you to the president and people of the United States of America. A country that has freed more people than any other nation in the history of the world.

An embryo is not human life. Its a single cell. 

I am sorry to disagree but an embryo is a human being. We might not know how long or how productive a life this human will have. We do not know if this embryo will be allowed to develop. However, these do not disqualify any embryo from being a full human being.

As the early embryo is not an individual, it cannot be the moral equivalent of an adult human.

This confuses the ontological property of a human being with the number of humans present. Until after blastocyst, we might not know how many human beings are present but this is clearly a different issue than whether humanness is present.

One clear example of this is the existence of congenitally united twins. If an embryo cannot be a human being until after twinning occurs, then these conjoined twins are non-human humans. This is nonsense. They are two human individuals who simply share a body.

Instead of putting the embryos to good use, would just destroying them be (more) ethical?

In the United States, there is an option where embryos can be adopted. Japan should put such an option in place, if it has not already, and immediately cease creating new embryos. We do not put human beings to good use without their consent. At the very least, we should not, though we have through slavery, etc.

What should be kept in mind is the indisputable fact that the life of one human being was purposefully and involuntarily snuffed out so that another human being could have a chance of survival.

Is the taking of a human life without the person’s permission medically ethical throughout Japan? Or is it just that the law has not caught up with the technology yet? This really should be nationally debated before another objectively immoral procedure such as this is performed.

How about not doubling down on hedonism and move away from promoting pornography? Tobacco is addictive. So is porn.

With every photo, dopamine is released, and with more pornography, like Internet porn and its endless images, bursts of dopamine are released. As time goes on, pornography users need more and more photos to get the same feeling.

Ultimately unsatisfying.

Unlike sex in its proper abode. The most satisfying sex ever is found between a man and a woman in a committed relationship, marriage, truly and selflessly become one. Every other sex act is a piece of vulgarity in comparison. Some piece of offal lying in the lowest pipe in the sewer.

The death of any human being is a tragedy.

Sadly the writer(s) of this piece chose to mainly remember Mr. Jack for his work in Disney’s non-canon “Star Wars” films...the lowest point of anyone’s career who was involved with the Disney cringe inducing Trilogy.

So after the kids are born and the wife shuts the husband off the bedroom, what is he supposed to do?

He should suck it up and be a real man. A real husband. A real father to his children. Eventually every man is shut out.

“Emotionless sex” and “casual sex” are oxymorons.

Premarital and adulterous sex only damage relationships.

Each time we leave a sexual relationship, we leave a part of ourselves behind. The longer the relationship has gone on, the more we leave behind, and the more we lose of ourselves. As we go from partner to partner, we continue to lose a tiny bit of ourselves each time, and eventually we may lose our ability to form a lasting sexual relationship at all. The sexual relationship is so strong and so intimate that we cannot enter into it casually, no matter how easy it might seem.

Unisex!?! Is there a large market in selling perfume to the gender confused?

Remove BB-8 and then it will be a Star Wars cake.

Disney’s Trilogy is not in-line with the Star Wars Trilogy nor the Prequels and, therefore, is not Star Wars nor Star Wars canon.

However, The Manadorlian has remained true to Star Wars storytelling so far and has not been dragged through the mire of identity politics. Let us hope that Kathleen Kennedy and her ilk continue to stay out of the picture.

Any journalist claiming Star Wars has not been diverse is simply ignorant. Any journalist claiming that Star Wars needs diversity only sees the color of a person’s skin or the person’s biological sex...and not the person’s thought or heart.

How racist and sexist of them!

Disney has abandoned Star Wars storytelling, minus a few exceptions, for what J.J. Abrams, Rian Johnson, and Kathleen Kennedy pulled out of their dumpster diving.

Correction. Not Star Wars fans.

Star Wars fans are not waiting with bated breath for The Rise of Skywalker.

Disney fans are...because this film has nothing to do with the Trilogy, the objective standard for all things Star Wars.

If a company (or a media show in this case) under the guise of trying to be relevant is affirming a lifestyle that nature and reason informs us is mentally and physically unhealthy, then said media program is not being loving. Rather the opposite of loving...while also being socially irresponsible.

A fully flourishing lifestyle is one that fits the orientation we all share as human beings. Nature and reason inform us that we are all oriented toward a reproductive coupling in a monogamous lifetime relationship. Any lifestyle that rejects this only hinders its members.

Smart move for those two.

Disney has put the Star Wars franchise into a death spiral.

Maybe Episode IX will slow the process, but the longer Disney has Star Wars, the less Star Wars Star Wars is.

If a Japanese publisher, under the guise of trying to be relevant, is affirming a lifestyle that nature and reason informs us is mentally and physically unhealthy, then said company is not being loving. Rather the opposite of loving...while also being socially irresponsible.

A fully flourishing lifestyle is one that fits the orientation we all share as human beings. Nature and reason inform us that we are all oriented toward a reproductive coupling in a monogamous lifetime relationship. Any lifestyle that rejects this only hinders its members.

Find someone who actually loves you...not your sexual confusion but loves you as much as companies and news websites love loving themselves loving the rainbow flag.

Some possible ways Disney’s Sequel III, a.k.a. Episode IX, can fail...

If 50% or more of the film is Abrams/Johnson characters...FAIL.

If Luke does not return alive...FAIL.

If Jay Skywalker rather than Luke Skywalker appears...FAIL.

If books/comics are needed again to explain parts of the plot...FAIL.

If no Han/Leia funeral...FAIL.

If Gary or Mary Sue(s) appear...FAIL.

If Chewbacca and/or Leia are not clearly the owner(s) of the Falcon...FAIL.

If there is Reysplaining to Luke or Chewbacca again...FAIL.

If there are subplots that go nowhere...FAIL.

If the film does not complete the Skywalker Saga...EPIC FAIL.

Abortion was already the number one cause of death. Approximately 42,000,000 human beings worldwide lose their lives each year. All New Zealand has done is to help increase this number.

Where did we all come from?'" Nye said.

We know where, which is why Bill Nye lost his title as “the Science Guy.”

Burning Bush, thank you. And even more, thank you for speaking up and out for marriage, intact families, children and society.

This argument is done for anyone that cares about reality and facts.

Humans are made male and female.

Human bodies are oriented toward reproductive sex. Anything else related to sex is simply personal preference.

As a group, as a rule, and by nature, marriage relationships produce the next generation.

Same-sex marriage does not produce children.

Children in a same-sex home are denied a mother or a father’s love.

The rights and restrictions of state-sanctioned matrimony are already shared by all Japanese citizens equally.

Same-sex couples/throuples are already free to make lifelong committed relationships.

When the state arbitrarily creates artificial rights, citizens’ rights are infringed upon, such as freedom of speech and freedom of conscience.

I hope Japan moves towards public policies that create a healthier marriage culture rather than promote motherless or fatherless homes.

The Japan Federation of Bar Associations?

How many members are there?

Did all the members vote on that proffered statement?

What was the tally of the vote?

Why did any members vote no, if any?

And why does this site only post puff pieces on this issue?

At least Mr. Tanaka was honest about what he wants to happen. Have the Japanese government arbitrarily overturn marriage for a different institution in an act of social engineering and label this new artificial construct with the same name, which means any Japanese citizen who disagrees will be strong-armed by the government if he or she conscientiously objects.

Back in the days when scripts were still good and you felt like you were watching physical people and objects interact rather than the feeling now that we are just watching high budget computer games.

Star Wars broke a lot of molds, and though Disney and Lucasfilm are breaking the franchise into something non-Star Wars, we can still look to and enjoy the Trilogy.

The headline should have read “Reverence for marriage threatens same-sex marriage in Japan” since Japan still has a somewhat healthy marriage culture...unlike the States where no-fault divorce opened the door for “same-sex marriage,” unions which have nothing to do with marriage nor equality.

Marriage is one man, one woman, for one lifetime...not two men or two women or two men and one woman.

And marriage is still an institution of equality since anyone with any sexual preference can marry whomever they love depending on that person’s age, familial relationship, sex, marital status, required documentation, required presence, and willingness to swear under oath.

The mayor of London needs to review what 20th century fascists were like, and then apologize to Mr. Trump.
