Which one would you bomb?
Which country, in your mind, is absolutely useless.
I may be wrong, but I don\'t see how my life would change if Iceland wasn\'t there. I know we have some people from Iceland here, maybe they can shine a light on what they provide the world.
Which country would you whipe out?
-
Are you americans totally nuts? Why would anyone like to answer that question?
-
Oh, well, I think I\'d drop a bomb on the US.
No not really, but to me it\'s as good a target as Iceland. :rolleyes:

Videoholic= Hitler Jr.?

I would drop it on .......... tough choice....
i would drop it on Canada. :nut:
-
Hehehehe. I wasn\'t really expecting any answers.. I kind of agree with the whole canada thing. Although they have nice nudie bars in Windsor I hear.
-
Actually, they\'re doing some genome search thingy in Iceland. You wouldn\'t get the results if you bombed them. :)
-
Yes, the nuddy bars here are excellent :D
and the VIP rooms are extremely private LOL
-
Crap, I forgot about that. Something about them not having cancer or something. Lots of cuties too.... OK, axe the whole Iceland bombing run. We need them to help cure some diseases... Can I drop one quick one on Bjork though? That whole swan outfit she war at the Grammys was absolutely ubsurd.
OK, so where do I send the plane now...... hmmmmm How about Libya.
You guys going off on the whole war thing, this is a whole joke. Get over it. Think of it as a video game...
Now, back to boming Libya.
-
bah, i like you videoholic, but i think this isa ****ty topic man...you dont just bomb a country, every human has as much right to live as the other...make love, not war
*eats a cat*
-
You couldn\'t bomb Iceland....Super nO-One would just eat the bomb and fart it back at ya bastards. :p
I am teh protactar

SWEEET
HOW CLOSE U LIVE?

Monaco.
Do you know where it is? Didn\'t think so. That\'s how worthwhile it is:)
-
Switzerland (just for being perenial pussies)
-
Antarctica

Where do you get the time to post all these threads, Videoholic?
Aren\'t you supposed to be a big time TV producer or something? :D Shouldn\'t you be working instead of making all americans look bad? :) :) :)
-
What exactly do you do on Crank and Crome Videoholic? Just curious :)
-
i see the 90 degree turn coming in this thread....
and well i would bomb that one small country in the carribean that some dude owns. its one island. no harm done, just one rich dude dead. and th island=no more island.
-
Real quick:
Our production got cancelled last week because several towel heads decided to ram a freaking plane into a building killing 6000+ people.....
We were all ready so now I am just waiting for our rescheduled shoot to come which is the week after next. Then our year is over and we are working on a presentation for 3 new shows for a different network.
Now back to the bombing.......
Does no one want to bomb Libya? That may be just too easy of a choice. How about if we take out Papua New Guinea.. That\'s just a down right stupid name. I always hated guinnea Pigs too. I\'m more of a Hamster kind of guy myself.
-
Real quick, clear up here. For the record, Video is just joking around. He isn\'t saying he wants these people dead. It is just a harmless joke. No one should take offense. Quit taking things so serious, people. It isn\'t like we don\'t play games or watch movies where **** is blown up. This is just a silly question..Geeze.;)
I\'d bomb..uhm..Switzerland. I\'m not sure why. I don\'t like that place.
;)

I think everybody relises that the Videoman is just joking around.
But to be serious, I\'d blow I think I\'d blow Australia up, not that I have anything against them it\'s just that I have this wierd picture in my head that every Aussie walks upside down. I mean they do live on the bottom of the world.

OK, now back to my bombing efforts.....
I\'m still in the middle of bombing Guinnea Pigs....
-

-

Besides, maybe Putin\'ll bomb it first.
See Yuz.

Which is to be expected, people in the US we\'re not intelligent enough to vote for an intellectual person over a "My Daddy\'s got Connections, rich oil friends, and I can feed the religous right any BS I want and they\'ll buy it" type of person as president.

Now THAT would be cinema innovation ! But, you should know Hollywood\'s funding and influential lobby...
Unfortunately, that\'s not gonna change on short term basis. Movies could set an example to not resort to this vicious cycle of fictional \'ahhum\' rolemodel characters, resorting to violence.
-
Violence sells. That\'s what the people crave and that\'s what Hollywood is giving the people, just what they want. Its up to the parents to keep their kids from watching violent movies instead of bitching they are violent. Besides that\'s what the rating system is for and its only gotten stricter lately.

Hollywood only cares about money.They will do anything to prevent parents from preventing their children from not viewing any kind of violence.We view violence even if we dont want to.
I do not accept the logic of "hey because people like watching violence its ok for Hollywood to bombard us with graphic violence".

How is that different than any other company?
Any company will produce a product that the public wants. Right now, people want violent movies because that\'s what they are interested in. Therefore, Hollywood supplies the public with a product that they want. Its that simple. If you don\'t like watching violent movies, stop bitching because other poeple do and there\'s no point in ruining it for hte rest of us when you just have to not go and watch it.

Did I say that other companies are different?
Do you think everyone has a correct understanding of what is morally right or wrong?
Do you think that we the consumers have total control of what should be produced and that companies dont excercise influence and control on our preferences?
Should someone who is strongly and wrongly influenced by violence be influenced forever by graphic violence?
Should children whose parents arent caring much about what they watch, become graphic violence-hungry passive viewers from which companies love getting us much money as possible from them?
[sarcasm]Kids usually dont like studying or beeing taught whats morally right or wrong.I guess since they dont demand it, we shouldnt care much about where our society/culture is being led to.
We should only worry so we build as much as possible a commercialised standard of living in the mercy of media exploitation and ignorance.[/sarcasm]
We sacrifice creativity for easy cash
-
Did I say that other companies are different? That\'s besides the point. You are making it sound like the movie industry is different from any other industry. Guess what, its capitalism. You make money however you can. You don\'t like it then move to a communist country
Do you think everyone has a correct understanding of what is morally right or wrong? This too is off topic. We are talking about violence in movies. Violence has been in human history since the beginning of man\'s existance. You make it sound like its new and shoudl be shielded from everyone.
Do you think that we the consumers have total control of what should be produced and that companies dont excercise influence and control on our preferences? Again, violence is part of human nature. People want to see action, people getting shot, blown up, etc. Its what the consumer wants and that\'s what\'s being delivered. I dont\' know how you can\'t understand that.
Should someone who is strongly and wrongly influenced by violence be influenced forever by graphic violence? How are they being wrongfully influenced? You dont\' have to watch it. Watch sappy movies if you don\'t like action.
Should children whose parents arent caring much about what they watch, become graphic violence-hungry passive viewers from which companies love getting us much money as possible from them? If a kid is going into an R rated movie, I don\'t think its the movie companies fault but the theater or movie rental place. We have ratings here for a reason. You are makng it sound like a bunch of 10 year olds are rushing out to a movie theater to buy a ticket to an R rated movie.
I really don\'t see much of a difference between violence in movies today and the violence of gruesome wars that young people fought in during the past. The difference is one is reality and the other is an escape from reality. I watch movies to forget about my life and just for 2 hours believe what I see on the screen is real but when the 2 hours are over, I go back to my reality. I\'d choose that over real gruesome violence in my life any day.

I\'m not perse against violence in movies or use of violence by means of fire arms in movies, no.
I\'m just saying that the argument of \'movies\' is and extremely weak excuse as a pro weapons stance.
(Becuz I hinted at the utopia of a world without weapons and No one tried to counter that by saying that his dear movies would be no \'fun\' anymore).
If I could actually change the world within my lifetime i would throw out all weapons, gasoline cars and toxic industries right NOW. I\'d only allow them to \'live on\' in fictional media ; movies, games, books etc.

france.... yea i just wanted to answer the question... now continue with the debate

I see your stance but I was actually refuting Unicron by saying violence in movies should be thrown out.
