I watched this movie last night.  Wow! Some scenes were very subtle while others felt like a punch to your gut.

I especially found the ending very interesting. going from the Nazi general to today's scenes of the concentrate camps. 

The way the wife acted made me want to slap her in her face. I think her mother realized what was going on and that's why she left.

I still find it so disturbing how a race of people can hate another because your leader tells you too. Simply horrible.

I think this movie should be shown in high schools and colleges. Maybe then people today will realize why Israel fights so hard for their freedom.

I'm still thinking about this movie and probably will for awhile.

The subtlety made it good and different from other movies about this topic. Only seeing the smoke from the arriving trains or only hearing the prisoners instead of seeing them is what made it even more thought-provoking.

How do you know he is alone? Maybe he spends all his time with friends, impossible to know.

I try not to be a dick to people who are like this, but I find it inconsiderate in any case what she's doing. I can always ignore it, but the way she phrased her post made me go for it this time and try to explain to her that living in fear is not worth it. making us her diary is not what this place is for, not even this thread imho.

it's not a big deal, it's just been like this for years now and no change at all. I deal with my own anxiety and it can sometimes be crippling, but there is also a choice that should be made imo, you can't let that shit control you and this is her on medication, mind you. (something she shared if I'm not mistaken)

It wasn’t critique towards you, I happen to agree with you. I was just thinking this again yesterday when I was reading about Iran and then came on here and of course read yet another doom and gloom post from her, that maybe she’s this mellow person in real life and nothing like how she comes off on here. But I don’t think it will change, she doesn’t seem to read or care what people here say, she mostly seems to be talking to herself when she’s in apocalyptic mode.

I think it really calms you down to be very worried all the time. you cling to your fear like a little girl but you're a grown woman. it's ok to worry from time to time, though I really don't see the upside of it, but you do it constantly. can't be good for you.

When I read her posts I sometimes wonder if she’s like this in real life too or that maybe she uses a forum like this sorta as a diary to get the anxiety and stress off her chest but is a more mellow and relaxed person in real life. Also because she hardly reacts when people quote her or give advice. I hope so, but I doubt it, though.

“skies as” in Sweet Child always gave me goosebumps.

@EvanG most of time you look so confused reading this thread, I'm starting to worry about you. 

To be fair, I also throw quite a few “like” emoticons around when I read this forum but I usually save them for the more sensible posts, but that is getting more and more rare.
 

Fuck 'em, Karice, just fuck 'em.

What an absurd way to turn around my words. I haven't said any of those things you mentioned

Why mention it in the first place then? It doesn't make what I said any less true.

You are ahead of me. I am only on season 1, episode 16. Where Ridge is engaged to Caroline but was caught cheating by her dad. And Brooke's sisters are so young, in highschool lol. Gotta love the past! 

I'm on season one too, Beth just catered for the Forrester party and saw Eric again for the first time in years and I thought Brooke and Ridge would meet too at this party but it didn't happen, so it must happen in a later episode. I do remember they meet when Brooke was catering, but it must have been another party then.

When you replied to this, did you even read edited part? It is relevant in the context of that first week I remembered

Who cares what nationality most reactions come from anyway? Are Latin people’s opinion less valid? Just accept that on other platforms the majority is positive about this song. It’s okay, you’re still allowed to think it sucks.

No, they are not.

My point is most of these comments come from latin American countries which are were most intense fans come from, and hardly they are going to say negative stuff

EDIT: I just check and you're right, there's mostly English speaking comments now. But it wasn't like this for the first week after the release of the music video

I still don't get your point. All I said was that on other platforms this song was well received when you look at the reactions. That those comments come from mostly Latin people is not true, but even if it is true, it’s totally irrelevant.

the close to climaxing sex noises are a turn off for you iirc heh. I like the song too, the vocals I don't have an issue with, even if they're not exactly what you'd call traditionally good, especially from Duff, but I wouldn't change it personally. my favorite part of the song is Slash's leads with that tone

The sex noises Axl makes are lame indeed, and I’d be pissed if I were Duff if someone made those noises in my song, but who knows… maybe he doesn’t mind or even likes them? Still, it doesn’t ruin the song for me and I love the piano part in it too.

So fine is probably the worst thing released under the GNR name. Just….utter crap. 

I like it. The vocals kinda suck, but it's a good tune with some cool dynamics.

Most reactions in there are also written in Spanish and Portuguese 
(I'm from Spain in case anyone thinks I'm being racist or something)

Most are in English actually, but yeah, some are in another language, what's your point?

Is it though? 

Compare it to Perhaps, Hardskool, and Absurd, it has the fewest views and the fewest likes (relative to views).

And while the majority of the comments on Hardskook and Perhaps are positive, a lot of the comments on The General are jokes regarding the overuse of AI.  Not saying there aren't people who respond positively to it (I enjoy it), but it definitely didn't perform or resonate as well as the previous GNR singles (based on both concrete and anecdotal impressions).

I wasn't comparing the reaction to The General to the other three songs. I was reacting to the poster who said The General wasn't received well. On this forum it wasn't, that's true, but on other platforms, like for example YouTube, most reactions are positive.
