And then of course there is "Bad Santa".https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cpybGF13A7c
Quote from: BikerDude on November 09, 2015, 12:46:52 PMAnd then of course there is "Bad Santa".https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cpybGF13A7cI'm not sure how much of a difference there is between Bad Santa and Badder Santa (the unrated version), but I dig it either way. I'm not fond of all of the bullshit associated with Christmas these days, so the movie's irreverence is greatly appreciated.
0:05?Alternate take of Willie leaving the department store in Milwaukee. This is 30 seconds of alternate footage that provides a dirtier exchange with the security guard. 0:12?Florida robbery and strip club. This is 4 minutes of new footage of Willie robbing a home and taking a stripper home. There's stripper nudity and hilariously offensive language. 0:25?Despite prerelease notification from Buena Vista, there is no extension to the "Fuck me Santa" scene in the car. 0:28?Extended Big & Tall dressing room scene. This is perhaps 5-10 extra seconds of grunting and thrusting as seen from John Ritter's perspective. 0:31?Extended arcade scene with Willie and underage girl. We get about 7 seconds worth of extra thrusts behind the girl playing pinball. 0:39?Extended food court scene. This amounts to about 45 seconds of extra berating and language. 0:42?Extended checkers scene. About 10 seconds more of Willie shouting at the kid after losing at checkers. 0:44?Extended Jacuzzi scene. About 5 seconds more of Willie and Sue going at it in the hot tub. 0:49?Parking lot encounter with security guard. About 10 seconds of new footage with Willie confronting a security guard outside the mall. 1:06?Extended granny death-scare scene. A tiny, 2-second extension of the granny scare. 1:11?Extended murder of Gin. A bug-eyed extension of the car death. 1:15?Extended final robbery. About 10 seconds more of preparing for the final robbery. 1:22?Extended final shootout at the mall. About a minute more of gunshots and explosions.
Oh don't get me started. The fictional war on Christmas.Like if you say happy holidays you are anti Christmas and not just being a good man and thorough...
And surely you've heard about the controversy created by Starbucks. For those who haven't, Starbucks traditionally uses "Christmas themed" cups for the holidays, but this year they decided to use a simple, two-toned red cup instead with no "symbols of the season" like reindeer or ornaments, and Christians are losing their fucking minds over it. For a group of people who claim their faith brings them peace, they sure get pissed off a lot.
What I don't get is that they're pissed, but since when are snowflakes, snowmen, and shit like that Christian symbols??
Our new government is founded upon exactly the opposite idea; its foundations are laid, its corner- stone rests, upon the great truth that the negro is not equal to the white man; that slavery subordination to the superior race is his natural and normal condition. This, our new government, is the first, in the history of the world, based upon this great physical, philosophical, and moral truth. This truth has been slow in the process of its development, like all other truths in the various departments of science. It has been so even amongst us. Many who hear me, perhaps, can recollect well, that this truth was not generally admitted, even within their day. The errors of the past generation still clung to many as late as twenty years ago. Those at the North, who still cling to these errors, with a zeal above knowledge, we justly denominate fanatics. All fanaticism springs from an aberration of the mind from a defect in reasoning. It is a species of insanity. One of the most striking characteristics of insanity, in many instances, is forming correct conclusions from fancied or erroneous premises; so with the anti-slavery fanatics. Their conclusions are right if their premises were. They assume that the negro is equal, and hence conclude that he is entitled to equal privileges and rights with the white man. If their premises were correct, their conclusions would be logical and just but their premise being wrong, their whole argument fails. I recollect once of having heard a gentleman from one of the northern States, of great power and ability, announce in the House of Representatives, with imposing effect, that we of the South would be compelled, ultimately, to yield upon this subject of slavery, that it was as impossible to war successfully against a principle in politics, as it was in physics or mechanics. That the principle would ultimately prevail. That we, in maintaining slavery as it exists with us, were warring against a principle, a principle founded in nature, the principle of the equality of men. The reply I made to him was, that upon his own grounds, we should, ultimately, succeed, and that he and his associates, in this crusade against our institutions, would ultimately fail.
?The time has come to prepare ourselves for persecution. Our identity has put us at odds with the culture, which is now going to do everything in its power to punish us. Our commitment to living authentically is going to cost us ? perhaps everything ? because we refuse to compromise what we believe to be the truth. The dominant voices in our culture hate us, and will stop at nothing to eliminate us. Our jobs, our families, even our lives are now in jeopardy because of who we are.?
But as Northern propagandists extolled the Christian virtues of their national Union and the spiritual superiority of their society over a sinful South in need of God's repentance, the religious and political leaders of the Confederacy were building what they perceived to be their own Christian civilization.Indeed, the "Christian nation" theme was even more prominent in the South than it was in the North. Southerners were convinced that the Confederate States of America was a Christian nation. They viewed the Confederacy as a refuge for the godly amid the "infidelity" of the Union to which they once belonged. One hundred fifty years ago this month, Southerners prepared to engage in a war that would prove God was on their side. This mentality is clear in the Confederacy's decision to adopt the Latin phrase Deo Vindice ("With God as our defender") as its national motto.Southerners looking for evidence that the Confederacy was a Christian nation needed to look no further than their Constitution. Unlike the U.S. Constitution, which does not mention God, the preamble of the Constitution of the Confederate States of America made a direct appeal to "Almighty God":We, the people of the Confederate States, each State acting in its sovereign and independent character, in order to form a permanent and federal government, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, and secure the blessing of liberty to ourselves and our posterity?invoking the favor and guidance of Almighty God?do ordain and establish this Constitution for the Confederate States of America.
"Christian Persecution Complex" in the parlance of our times.

I mean, both are nonsensical and worthy of derision, but the fact there is no right to not be offended is universal like that.

I don't think persecution of minorities or gays is a delusion.There is a bit of historical evidence around.
