Don't you think you're jumping to conclusions? I mean, the movie might be cool.

Fred was/is a steamy pile of shit to begin with... I shudder to think what happens next.

I take offense when you posted the pictures of children with down syndrome. It's not their fault that they are like that or do you enjoy looking at kids who are less fortunate than you?
AdmiralPeacock said:Then you missed to point of the joke, I wasn't making fun of the kids but the numbskull writers of the Doom movie - how did you miss that?
lrkun said:AdmiralPeacock said:Then you missed to point of the joke, I wasn't making fun of the kids but the numbskull writers of the Doom movie - how did you miss that?
I didn't. I knew what you point was, but I don't think it's funny, nor do I find it as a joke. Sure doom wasn't as good as the hype, but that is something else. Atleast, you could have chosen to use a face palm or something that is less offensive.
AdmiralPeacock said:I'm still struggling to see how it is offensive - "Down's syndrome is a chromosomal disorder caused by the presence of all or part of an extra 21st chromosome. " The basic premise of the Doom movie was an extra chromosome... the image was merely to provide a visual aid to what the demons "should" have looked like in the light of the reality of chromosomal disorders. As I said, I'm not making fun of kids with down's syndrome but of the numbskullary of Hollywood writers. The image is actually quite neutral.
In this case, I think you're looking for a reason to be offended.

In sum, you wanted to share to us how a failure both movies are, and you ended posting the image of kids who have downsyndrome. I find it offensive.

Why? Do you find kids with Down's Syndrome Offensive? Or just pictures of them?

lrkun said:I find how you structured your post offensive to these kids.
You ought to read what you wrote. Clearly it can be seen that you linked the kids with downsyndrome as what the movie doom is.
AdmiralPeacock said:Clearly you're inventing reasons to be offended; but oh well - pretending to care if you're offended is getting old - I originally phrased it like this "Some unnecessary bullshit out about an extra chromosome, so instead of bad-ass demons, zombies, flying skulls and skeleton cyborgs; the reality of an extra chromosome tells us the Rock and "Reaper" should have been gunning down this :" But then I thought it was too wordy and believed people would be clever enough to read between the lines - I gave you the benefit of the doubt.
Just goes to show, you have to spoon feed people over the internet.

I have no need to invent things which on its face is offensive. Stop making excuses.

Your post as a whole offends me because you included the picture of kids in down syndrome. I am offended because you connected fail or shit = kids in down syndrome. If you don't find it offensive, I do.

Just because you posted it, doesn't mean I won't call you on it. It's here in a public forum. Expect to be criticized.
