Phantom of the Opera is worse.

This movie creeps me out because all the women I've ever seen it with are super into the whole stockholm syndrome aspect.

Like many words in the dictionary, there are many definitions of the word racism blah blah blah

And then you just say everyone is racist again and I wasted my time. What a fun game.

If your point can only be communicated in a 2 hour classroom lecture chances are it's not very good.

You should throw all your electronic devices away I guess. Just a bunch of egghead poo poo.

I should read posts before I reply, but yeah even science subjects should be able to communicated fairly well in any situation.

If you take more than an hour to be able to communicate pretty much anything in layman's terms to anyone you probably don't understand what you're talking about very well

drat, this is scathing.

quote:

In that respect, Hamilton probably is the “musical of the Obama era,” as The New Yorker called it. Contemporary progressivism has come to mean papering over material inequality with representational diversity. The president will continue to expand the national security state at the same rate as his predecessor, but at least he will be black. Predatory lending will drain the wealth from African American communities, but the board of Goldman Sachs will have several black members. Inequality will be rampant and worsening, but the 1% will at least “look like America.” The actual racial injustices of our time will continue unabated, but the power structure will be diversified so that nobody feels quite so bad about it. Hamilton is simply this tendency’s cultural-historical equivalent; instead of worrying ourselves about the brutal origins of the American state, and the lasting economic effects of those early inequities, we can simply turn the Founding Fathers black and enjoy the show.
