@JoelWebbon You wouldn't be saying that if you were a settler crossing the Utah border in the 1800s, nor would you say that if you were a business owner in Utah today who didn't go to Mormon church. Many cases of people being ostracized.
Amazing the cherry picking here.
@HistoryWJacob Both these movies are very similar and its noticeable when you watch them back to back. I just did 2 months ago, and my conclusion was that the pagan Maximus is more honorable than Christian William because of his faithfulness to his wife in the story. *Adultry with princess plot
@RevZekveld This is worth a read. I think this war was pointless myself, but I'm also of the mindset of fix your house instead of your neighbor's when the plumbing is flooding.

@RevZekveld To answer your question, it's weird to say we bombed them to the stone age on nukes and then say they are a month away again 9 months later. One of these statements isn't true.
@spencer_askew Tom Cruise is one of the most, if not the most, popular actors in Japan. He was picked for this for a reason, pairing him up with one of the, if not the most, popular actors in Japan. It was a match made in heaven for the two markets.
Imagine you are a working father living in the Midwest, you make 75k a year. You can support your family, but you're not rich. You worry about paying for college. Then you read about some Somalian stealing $1m out of federal healthcare programs.
$1 million for the normal guy would eliminate an enormous amount of his stress. The college thing would be covered. Retirement wouldn't appear so daunting. It's why guys like this buy lottery tickets. And instead he pays into the system and watches "newcomers" make a complete ass out of him. This fraud is bad financially, but it just makes a mockery of all the hard work of normal people and tears away at the social fabric.
@WhatisCN@Culture3ase@ThwipT_ Villain stories without the hero to step in are boring. It's just watching depraved things with no conclusion. It's similar to watching another horror movie where the killer lives again.
