i think for me octopussy is fun because it so perfectly encapsulates a period. it's not a good movie, by any means, but i can just get lost in how silly it is.

i wasn't able to turn my brain off in that way for skyfall because it kept constantly badgering me to pay more attention to it. again, as i noted if you like it i am fine with that, i just didn't.

India has a Scottish connection and Bond is fundamentally about the post-imperial experience.

Its Amergin, the point is that the audience he posts for uses thug as a politically correct method to call african americans 'niggers'. In their minds, the two are interchangible; see in usage, 'Its not black people I have a problem with, its those thugs/friend of the family' or 'I really hate those thugs/niggers'

Same word, different shape, same unacceptability.

Most logical would be like a 3rd gen from Scotland whose father was in the colonial service or something. Or was maybe a barrister with whom he had an uneasy relationship who was involved in the rights movement. IDK.

'thug' is coming to be used by whites as an acceptable means to impart the same intent as 'friend of the family'. The two words are oft interchangable within the rhetoric surrounding the events of Ferguson, and that's not cool.

Disinterested posted:

One shouldn't have to say that the use of a synonym for 'friend of the family,' while grammatically and lexiconically correct, is inappropriate. You should be able to assume that everyone agrees that the usage of 'friend of the family' to describe a disenfranchised minority group is unacceptable.

So I ask the question directly, how, apart from the social connotations attached to them, does the usage of the word 'thug' to describe recent events differ from the same sentence which uses the word 'friend of the family'? Its an attempt to otherize and separate a group from a wider community so that those individuals may be disparaged openly with comments which would be otherwise unacceptable should they be made about the whole community.

How can one point out that 'thug' is used as a politically correct form of 'friend of the family' without saying so? I don't get it.
