If I hear about "the passion" one more time i'm gonna explode

[HEyHEY]

All I've heard about is this movie. If you're offended by it....DON'T FUCKING WATCH IT.

Think it's anti-semetic? Well for everyone who feels that way there is one who doesn't. Drop it. It's not going to encourage any violence, lude behaviour, or wrath of god.
that's it I'm done

[Ready4Change]

1. You seem quite passionate about this.

Sorry. Had to be said. :)

[HEyHEY]

2. well, I've been working inthe office all day

And all that has been on the radio is "the passion"

[DS1]

3. yeah, but now I've had to hear about it yet another time

I wish everyone would just shut up about it.

[HEyHEY]

4. that was the point of the thread

On elast neccassary evil to tell people to drop it!

[DS1]

5. stay tuned for the onslaught of copycat threads

[historian]

6. you should be used to it by now

The media will blow everything out of proportion just to stay on 24/7 and to distract the sheep. Simpson is a case of point

[coltman]

7. Here Here

That says it all, lets get back to more important things.The war, the economy,jobs,and getting the repukes out of Washington.

[corporatewhore]

8. I watched "Passions" and thought it was fucking hilarious and campy

the soap opera that is not the movie and that is what is just a movie

[gator_in_Ontario]

18. heh heh

That show is the 'plan 9 from outer space' of soaps for sure!

[xultar]

9. okie dokie...

:nuke:

[oldcoot]

10. Not true

If I see Mel Gibson on my television one more time talking about "The Passion," I might start throwing things at my television and it is a new television. I actually made the mistake of catching one of the many Gibson appearances promoting this film. In this case, I was treated to the sight of Leno kissing Gibson's ass. I know that some people have criticized this movie for various reasons, but I am starting to wonder if Gibson exaggerated this criticism so he could appear on all of these talk shows to "defend" his movie.

[DS1]

13. ummm YEAH!!!

Anti-semitic was a calculated floater.

[LuLu550]

11. The word du jour is "implode" HEyHEY

if you hear it one more time, your head will implode. Exploding is so passe!

[put out]

12. Please don't explode. It leaves a mess for others.

Friend, I spent a good chunk of a beautiful day sitting at a baby shower, a little slice of hell in itself (Let's play a stupid game! and then let's play another stupid game! and eat some pink food, and drink some pink stuff! And make insulting guesses about the momma-to-be's weight, and the specific time of the sex act that made her pregnant!).

And then let's discuss how much money an individual church spent on tickets to that movie. And how 7 souls were led to Jesus during the alter call in the theatre during conclusion of the movie. And raise our hands and pray.

And not a one of these women had any clue that everyone in the room did not agree with the holiness that is Mel. Until I said "I wouldn't put a dollar in that man's pocket. My dollars will be spent to help those who need it."

I think I am now not the favorite DIL. Then, again, I never was.

[T Bone]

14. I went to see Starsky & Hutch and some church had a table set up

in the lobby of the theatre, PAST the ticket takers, and outside of the door of the theatre where 'passion' was playing. What the hell do you suppose that was all about ? Has anyone else seen a situation like that at a theatre? Why would a cineplex allow a church group to set up a table like that inside the admission area of the theatre? I didn't bother stopping to see what it was about. I am a christian too, but I tell you some of these people are really starting to weird me out. What kind of church would want to set up a table outside of the door of the movie?

15. That's the problem: dismissal of Jewish concerns

While here in the United States it's likely no one will use the film as a catalyst to anti-Semitic activities, once it starts playing outside the United States there is a real chance of violence. You can't just dismiss it. The lie of Jews committing deicide has fueled violence against us for over two thousand years. Jews are not being paranoid about this. We merely have to look back at our history and see it filled with blood, blood shed because we were the Christ killers.

[chicagostudent]

16. agreed

I am a Christian but I can see beyond this movie. I haven't seen it, but I hear enough about it. Mel Gibson is just looking at his pocket book, not hoping to further the cause of his religion. Most Christians are too dumb to see that. I'll see the movie only if I don't have to pay for it.

[roguevalley]

17. He left the blood libel in. He just took the sub title out. If God's son

was supposed to be Jewish, what does it mean that God probably is?
How's that for making your head explode?
