Kim Jong Un-ism is the state religion of North Korea. The slightest hint of criticism is an unacceptable heresy and must be suppressed, even in USA or the rest of the world. The free world, committed to liberty and free speech as it is, would never go along with this kind of censorship though, would it? Except that it has done just that only this week.
I wonder what USA woul have done if Korea made a movie aout killing Obama that also made him appear a total tw4t. Yes the little Korean fella is a tw4t but prbably not that much more than many other leaders, just he's open about his abuse of his citizens rights Btw using that as an argument against religion is like using one death on the road to ban all motorycle activity. Not one I'd expect an educated person to make, go figure
Not sure about North Korea but ISIS has certainly been making movies about killing Westerners. While we are talking about movies and religion ... just sayin'.
Somebody invited other examples of surprising religions, and I provided one. Arguments against religion are not arguments for banning religions. That would be like banning stupidity.
That's exactly what I think about this. You don't make films fantasising about killing existing foreign leaders - even if you'd like to. Even if he's a fruit cake. I don't think the Americans would have been impressed if, say, the Chinese had decided to entertain their masses with a comedy all about plotting to kill Obama. And I don't think the Americans would have made the same film about killing Putin or Cameron. Personally, I don't give a toss. The nutty Korean is fair game, but don't expect to foster international relations with it.
how many movies can you think of where the presidents daughter has been kidnapped and threatened with violence?
fair point. i guess i would get the hump with a movie if nicola got bumped off under instruction from cameroon.
Have you seen what Pope Francis has said to the curia today? And how they reacted? I get the feeling Francis will soon die of a sudden unexpected heart attack, and a more amenable replacement will be elected. Dan Brown could write the script ...
The Daily Mash sums up religion perfectly: First female bishop appointed just 45 years after humans landed on moon
A little tip to aid understanding is to appreciate that any 'observation' involves interfering with the event in order to get a reading. The more you think about it, the more you realise that any form of sensing requires some kind of intervention capable of then being 'read off' as a reading ( i.e: to see a thing with your eyes, first light must bounce off it to be picked up by them, thereby that thing is only ever the version of a light-bounced-off-thing, never the un-bounced off orginal version (which as such, forever remains INvisible). Another consideration to consider is, when differentiating between 'Waves' and 'Particles', that while particles are easy to understand as a process and waves are too, in there different way, that for wave like behaviour to occur there must be a medium within which that wave-propergation can manifest itself. We are not unlike the audience of a magic-trick in that we only see what we are given to see, not the hidden mechanisms working invisibly, yet necessarily and entirely un-magically, in the background. As an average ignoramus, I wonder what all that vast amount of 'dark-matter' is doing, invisible but greatly exceeding all our 'normal' matter ? Just out of sight, providing the invisible ripples that progress even individual electron's paths in a 'wave-like' manner ? Oh, and remember also that a non-inertial ripple won't propagate like a conventional one, losing energy and increasing it's wavelength, but just produce an instantaneous mono-wavelength that's only diminishing feature is the interaction with other occupancies that might trouble it's path.... A path hardly interrupted at all, bearing in mind the mostly absent nature of 'normal' matter. I'm sure this makes it much easier to get a handle on it, conjecture or otherwise. There are no facts, only inaccuracies waiting to be revealed.
