Gracii Guns Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 I'm thinking about gender reversal in films. Miss Congeniality A hardworking, yet quirky male police officer has to do an undercover job as a Calvin Klein model. It's funny, heartwarming, and it turns out that he's already hot, so it's not a huge transformation. They made $212 million with exactly the same story featuring Sandra Bullock. My Big Fat Greek Wedding A man takes off his glasses and cardigan and marries a Greek woman. $241 million. I really need to get into show business. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoulMonster Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 Spent Eastern down south with my mother where I was born. I really like the place. I didn't like it when I moved from there at 19, but as I've grown older I have really come to appreciate all that is good about it. Especially when returning back to Trondheim in a blizzard. Left spring to rejoin winter. Ugh. Talked to my mom, we will take over her house when she leaves/dies. Like a vacation home in the south. A place I can move to when I am old. It's a beautiful place to be old. Almost no snow and excellent for hikes. Just relaxing and quiet. My wife agrees. Couldn't be happier. Can't wait to get old! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would love to do it the other way around. Move up north in the summer when it gets too hot here Sadly, no family with property there to inherit, so I'll have to get my own. I must admit I was getting a bit scared when I read: Can't wait to... But glad you don't wish your mother any harm 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't offer the visual engagement of tennis nor football. It expect it's a really fun sport to play though.

dontdamnmeuyi2015 Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 Another police shooting. More riots. What else is new? I tell you these times it's hard for both the police and regular police to live peacefully. It seems the police are becoming the enemy because of some bad applies. In these hard times you don't know who to trust and police get no respect either. Stopping someone at a traffic stop can cost you your life as if did for one Texas Ranger recently. He was white and the guy who shot and killed him was black. Nothing was made of it. It seems now no matter what the police do, it's wrong. Even if they are chasing down a criminal who is black and they kill him or accidently injure of kill them they are wrong. Too many tragic things are happening right now and they don't seem to stop. Being a police these days is very hard because it's getting to be how do I act now? Should I take out my weapon or not? Will I get killed stopping someone at a stop light or if they have a warrant out for their arrest. I think too many police are questioning what they should do now and that's now good for either party. I don't envy the police these days. They also have families they want to protect and do the right thing and they are human and make mistakes like we all do. The cop who sat on George Floyd's neck was totally wrong and did cause his death, but other incidents are just accidents or a police office making the wrong call. It's a no win situation for anyone these days. If things don't get better I'm afraid the police won't be protecting anyone anymore for fear of doing the wrong thing or being accused of acting wrong whatever they do. We're fucked then. I have had some situations in my life that I was so very happy to have a cop come to my aid. Whatever happend to those days? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some specialist police officers could use them if they were qualified. But regular police officers only have a baton and pepper spray. That's how the UK operates. Police aren't accidentally killing citizens. But neither are citizens killing the police nor each other. There will always be rogues, but the risk is greatly reduced. Guns create more problems than they solve. It's time to remove them from US society. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I agree with your statement, terrorists will find other ways to kill others if we take guns out of the equation. They will just start bombing schools and other buildings. Society is full of sick and twisted people. People will continue to murder until we are all dead. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, that doesn't happen at anywhere the same rate in other developed countries as it does in the US. It's not a human nature problem; it's a policy problem. Otherwise all developed nations would share similar murder rates when controlled for poverty, education, social mobility, healthcare. They don't. America is an outlier for the simple reason it does fuck all about keeping guns away from terrible people. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

willl Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 I'll never understand why Americans love their guns I also don't understand why their healthcare is so expensive compared to the rest of the world. I've only seen a tiny bit of USA and everyone I met was awesome, but I don't think I'd wanna live there just because of those 2 issues. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
