There is no evil, plotting League of Billionaires. They do not sit around plotting what evil they can do next.

Are you implying that people in hollywood sit around and plot what evil they can do next?

Or is this some movie reference or something I missed?

[MonkeyHead]

Elysium actors and directirs on the wealth issue... straight from the horses mouth, so to speak.

I'm implying all the implications.

Not content with building straw men any longer, PatriotSaint decides to build entire straw buildings for his "liberals" to live in.

Here's a hint, an actually honest one and 100% snark free. If you actually come here to debate instead of just bait, then put down your prejudice and what you think you know people's opinions and thoughts are, and start listening to what they are actually saying. Because if you think putting words in other people's mouths makes for good argumentation, then you won't amount to much here besides tiring people.

I altered the post to make the actual point of the post clearer.

@ Owlbread

In that case, I'm not sure why this snarky comment from this particular person is worth singling out above all others.

By the apparent criteria, isn't "capitalism, ho!" (And plenty of other wonderful punchlines) itself worthy of a blown whistle and a forum bandaid?

I was wondering what reaction I would get from that... 

Actually if people are being snarky I call them out, it's got nothing to do with your politics or their's. You're just the first guy to be snarky in a while.

[Leafsnail]

You aren't being "snarky", PatriotSaint.  You're rambling about opposing viewpoints that exist only inside your own head, and then acting smug afterwards.

I liked Pacific Rim more.

So when you say "liberals" you think I was talking about you? (Or... Something?)

Hmm... I thought I was talking about the people behind Elysium. (Who indeed have many of the characteristics of a Scarecrow, except they should ask the Wizard for a non-straw brain while they're at it, or at least a tin one.

Or maybe you're saying that those people aren't actually liberal.

Or something of the sort, that could mean a lot of things.

Whose mouth was I putting words into?

Matt Damon did claim there was no political message or bias behind Elysium.

I'm fine with people having a bias, as long as you don't pretend to not have one.

And which non-existent opposing viewpoints are those?

[Dutchling]

What are you guys even talking about? I am getting curious and confused.

Occasionally this thread is prone to continuing several conversations from pages past simultaneously.

Again, at least they're eternally guilty and embarrassed for their success.

"It may be exaggerated, but"

the message is

"this rings true right now"

Hmm... So they are perfectly aware that they already live in Elysium... And they make a movie attacking Elysium that will bring in more than enough money to ensure them a continued life in Elysium.

Looks like it's straight from the mouths of the horses always and reliably in the middle of an eternal identity crisis.

This is like Michael Moore attacking people who own stock, people who have money, those fat, lazy Americans, etc.

Wait...

Edit: Whoops, forgot Mike isn't even American. He sure does fancy American politics, though.

[Loud Whispers]

It's not that he's interested in American politics, it's that American politics is interested in the world and it will not stop.
