Reply #58: No Offense [View All]

[Mikey929]

I apologize. No offense to you and your family. I realize some people have very tough lives. I was in the mind-set of defending this movie which was being attacked on here because it shows a person succeeding through hard work and dedication, as if those are somehow R-wing attributes. And I was only saying that hard work and dedication should be expected of all people, and that it will --more likely than not -- yield good results. Is it perfect? No. Do children of rich people have it easier? Of course. Circumstances still wield considerable power over our lives. But I didn't see why we had to attack this one man who lifted himself out of poverty and made a success out of himself. He is a great role model and should not be the object of scorn because he did well.

Truce, OK?
