Finally some good news from Disney/Lucasfilm! The Disney Star Wars failure was an abject failure, but bringing back Mandalorians introduced in The Trilogy saw success due to seeing a “Boba Fett” character along with Baby Yoda.

Then they brought back Luke Skywalker. Not Jake Skywalker of the Disney Trilogy but the Luke of Star Wars. A scene that was sooooo popular it crashed Disney Plus from the high demand of viewers.

Disney needs Luke Skywalker. Lucasfilm needs Luke Skywalker. Mary and Gary Sues just do not cut the mustard.

The Mandalorian did well for one reason.

Luke Skywalker.

His appearance in the finale of Season Two crashed Disney Plus from the huge demand of views.

If only Disney and Lucasfilm had not destroyed the Star Wars Trilogy characters, they would have made more money and made more people, especially their investors, happy.

An art exhibition?

Is it actual art?

This exhibition is, apparently, focused on political activism, not art.

Just two thoughts.

I hope she is thoughtful enough not to bare her breast in public.

Let’s make working moms normal.

I understand what she meant. However, ALL mothers are working mothers. It’s part of being a mother. “Let’s make moms working outside the home normal” might have been more appropriate, though children need their moms at home.

This is wonderful news. Japan’s Supreme Court is pro-family.

It also recognized the reality of complementary nature of marriage, a man and a woman coming together as ONE flesh for one lifetime.

The title of the film comes from the team's rally cry before a match - "Let's F'ing Go."

If your rallying cry includes the F-bomb, you are not worth following or even watching.

In 2018, the men’s World Cup created more than $6 billion in revenue.

The 2019 Women’s World Cup…$131 million. And women players expect equal pay!?!

Sexual minorities? So this center is promoting sex not performed by the majority of people?

Oh, you mean sexual orientation. Hmm...well, ature and reason informs us, however, that we are all oriented toward a reproductive coupling in a monogamous lifetime relationship and anything else is preference. So you must mean sexual preference, not sexual orientation.

And happens when our preference matches our orientation? We enjoy a healthy and growing lifetime relationship. Is this what the center will be promoting?

No? Oh, I see. Well, then they will at least promote ALL sexual minorities like "E"s (Ex-Gays) and "MAP"s (Minor-Attracted People), right?

No?

Oh, not yet? That will come later? I see.

The plaintiffs in the Obergefell case – a gay couple – were, in every way aside from their same gender, congruent with what most Americans understand a married couple to be.

No, they weren’t.

Aside from that, marriage is an objective standard so what “most”Americans think is irrelevant.

They marshaled evidence showing that a gay or lesbian couple had the same ability to love, be intimate and raise children.

No, they didn’t. If there were such evidence, then the nine Supreme Court lawyers would have had a 9-0 decision rather than a 5-4.

Considering this is an article about someone’s death, you would expect more care would have been taken in how it was reported. For example, Lisa Banes was an actress, not an actor. Also, Ms. Banes was in a relationship with Kathryn Kranhold, but they were not married.

Who cares?

This is another award ceremony that panders to Leftist politics and a raging sexual political agenda by virtue signaling throughout the program.

MTV once was about music, not politics. Hopefully, they will return to that base one day.

Any gender confused person, i.e. LGBT, already has the same rights as everyone else. If they want special rights that other citizens do not have, then they need to make an argument stronger than that they want special treatment.

If they were fighting for equality and pride for everyone, then they might be worth listening to.

The group said the medical requirements are especially problematic and are based on an outdated notion that a transgender identity is a mental disorder.

What is a fixed, false belief?

A mental delusion.

As opposed to affirming mental delusions, Japan must follow the science and support more funding for therapy, and the training of therapists, so that the gender confused will be healed of their separation of body and mind and come to embrace and love their own bodies.

If you need a sex scene to sell your movie plot, then you don’t have a movie plot worth seeing.

Katy Perry went hippie!?!

For every person who believes that sending the military to Afghanistan was a bad idea, please remember...or study...what the situation was twenty years ago and then read this entire article because you are mistaken just as President pro tem Biden is now.

And Mr. Biden cannot blame President Trump for the coming fiasco because Biden could retract the deal with the Taliban just as Trump did with Iran.

After almost destroying the Star Wars franchise...and demonstrating a complete lack of new and original stories, Disney is desperate to attract anyone they can to Disney Minus.

Whoops! I mean, Disney Plus.

From shoes to tennis rackets, everything seems to have some innate erotic quality to one person or another out there. And that’s fine...

Why is that “fine”?

It’s fine because we shouldn’t judge?

But saying “everyone finding things erotic is fine” is a judgement.

And a bad one at that.

It’s not fine.

It’s nowhere near the definition of “fine”.

Experts and academics remain cautious about his vision of symbiotically merging minds with super-powered computing.

Experts and academics...and everyone else!!

Now I understand why he was fired. The actual Bible quote is...

”9 Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor homosexuals, 

 10 nor thieves, nor the covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers, will inherit the kingdom of God.”—1 Corinthians 6:9-10

Who does this quote apply to?

All of us, which is why we all find it soooooo offensive and why Folau got the can.

...after he posted a meme that said hell awaited "drunks, homosexuals, adulterers" and others.

Fired for quoting the Bible?

Amazon workers need unionization.

Stat.

Also, the American and Japanese governments need to look into Amazon’s business practices. Specifically their growing ability to engage in the censorship of books.

...but Kobayashi still refused to comply because he said they had not contacted him in person about the retraction.

Something smells wrong here. Me thinks this article is not offering the full story. What was the content of the two same-sex associates’ demand to Mr. Kobayashi?

In any event, they comply, and he will act accordingly.

No harm, no foul. And maybe these same-sex companions will have learned a lesson.

@Thomas Tank

Thank you for speaking up against a social experiment that affects society and, therefore, every member of society. Especially children.

Children without a father or mother are missing important nutrients. They are anemic. A child is entitled to a relationship with and care from both of the people who brought him or her into being. But no child can defend these entitlements themselves. These entitlements must be supported proactively, before harm is done, for those rights to be protected at all. Depriving a child of relationships with his or her parents is an injustice to the child, and should not be done without some compelling or unavoidable reason.

And no such reasons have been offered in this thread yet.

@Lazarus Knows

Thank you for your intellectual honesty.

That a new generation could only be born if lesbian and gay men ignored their sexual preferences and used artificial surrogacy.

That “family” is a social construction and, therefore, families were arbitrarily created by society and hence consist of a nonsensical foundation.

That sexual minority couples are anything “similar,” and therefore this is also a nonsensical description.

That you are unaware if all sexual minorities will be treated as equal.

Also, that two people are the “norm,” which means this is another social limit that is capricious and is subject to arbitrary changes.

Moves to recognize sexual minority couples have been spreading among municipalities...

What are “sexual minority couples”? Who defines what “sexual minority” is? Are all sexual minorities included? All of them?

And why “couples”? Why are the “moves to recognize” limited to couples? Who decided this?

What is a family? There are only two possible answers to this question: Either “family” has a fixed, natural purpose (a natural “teleology”) or it does not.

If the definition of family is teleological, then no liberty exists to redefine it.

If not, then a family is some kind of social construction, an invention of culture, and is fluctuatingly undefinable.

"This is impossible, but if all Japanese women were lesbian or all Japanese men were gay, then do you think the next generation of people will be born?" Mr Shiraishi said.

Putting aside whether one likes this statement or not, is it factually or objectively incorrect?

If you are an American athlete, then your fist should not be raised nor should you be kneeling on the ground. To do so is to reject the notion that all people are created equal and that they are endowed by their Creator with unalienable rights, which notion is the basis of all human rights.

"Madame Claude built her mythology. She was a great liar, a fraud who said she wanted to 'beautify vice', which meant brushing all the ugliness under the carpet," said Verheyde.

Will Netflix come to support more films that state the truth that prostitution is not a victimless crime?

One could hope.

In place of glamorizing fornication, sex trafficking, and sex grooming, Hollywood could learn a lesson from this film.
