Cold callers who now open with "S'okay, nothing to worry about".

Wankers had me paranoid awhile I was scowling every time I answered the door.

Finally as well although no one likes hearing this, that applies to this discussion.  We were each raised (though perhaps some hatched) and shaped by our families, our community and our national standards.  That goes back to again, responsibility in raising our own and responsibility for community.  So really us (the barbarian savages) and you folks from the UK are speaking totally different languages from totally different perspectives... Besides the fact the conversation is difficult with the British not speaking English, by not having the same values and viewpoints raised so differently, it makes finding a mutual resolution difficult at best.

Outside perspective . . . bad.

Now I agree that the old standard of "he's nuts, shun him or lock him up" isn't right, but in the same vein of being a responsible citizen and good neighbor you would offer help, and if you can't help (more than likely), than you alert others in your community who can, if anything for simply the safety of the community let alone the individual.

There are a gazillion examples I could use, yet even the old standard (not ideal) of excluding a person or family from interacting with yours, socializing with others and so on was better than nothing.  AND that also applies to when one in your own family goes off the rails.  Your responsibility is to their well being, and the community.  It forced someone to either interact properly, or they didn't get to interact... No doubt making things worse for them, but, they didn't have an opportunity to interact, influence, right down to even reproduce.  Eliminate that societal buffer yet don't replace it with a better way of which their are many, and crazy does what crazy does.

Those with mental health issues are more likely to be a danger to themselves or themselves victims than a threat to society.

Ban guns, and they'll still find them.  Destroy all the guns, and they'll use something else...

Those pesky laws. Making bad things more difficult for people to do be they mad, bad, or just dangerous to know.

Ah, damn. The author uses the 'c' word.

[Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri]

Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri. Wow. Absolute gem of a film. Frances McDormand, Sam Rockwell and Woody Harrelson knock it out of the park. I haven't been as impressed with a screenplay treating such dark material so very lightly, and with so much easy, natural humour since Fargo.

Highly recommended!

It's a deft fillum, all right. As I recall, the only time it comes close to condoning anyone's actions is [spoiler]Mildred's firebombing the cop shop[/spoiler].

More Manc than Moon.

Absolute dross. Gets a '1' but only because Luke doesn't say "It's engaged!" when Rey bangs on his door the first time he locks himself away.

Marion's being a smitten kitten was absolutely one of the worst things INDY IV inflicted.

Really?  I absolutely loved that bit. God that woman's smile could power cities.

That 'bit' lasted half the sodding film!

In total agreement about Karen Allen's smile, though.

Crystal Skull may have been poor but at least it didn't thoroughly betray the integrity of it's characters.

Marion's being a smitten kitten was absolutely one of the worst things INDY IV inflicted.

Those are the only two scenarios, bar karma giving him a heart attack on a golf course.

Too good for him, shirley? Son of Karma demands Al Trumpone be crushed by his wall while denying by tweet he knew all along 'poonani' means what it means and, no, he didn't grab it confuse it for that non-American Indian bloke's wife. Meanwhile, the Grey Cardinal finalizes divorce proceedings but that's just поддельные новости.

Does anyone remember a comic strip about 4 kids, possibly 3 lads & a girl and they were on skatebords with motors & possibly wings, which comic was it in, what was it called??

Dark Angels, maybe. An EAGLE strip.

Without knowing who he he was (at the time), I loved Jim's artwork in LOOK-IN (along with Noble, Ranson, and Burns, among various others). I remember thinking "Oh, wow! It's that bloke who drewed THE FALL GUY ('scarred bloke with a grudge wanting Colt killed') and CHiPS ('highway biker-man wearing a Popeye mask')" when I saw his artwork in the Prog.

Saddened.

Sure we're talking about the same film?

There's a bit where Paddington - who I remind you is brown - is running on The Underground with a suitcase and not once is he shot to death by our hard-working bobbies.*  Talk about a liberal fantasy - what if this was actually a Die Hard film and Paddington had a bomb because the film had a different plot?  Dozens of fictional people could have died because of revisionist cuck libtard cultural Marxism.

Assuming I've understood you both correctly, this wants to be a Richard Curtis film but fails because it has a non-white character who (a) has a speaking role and (b) isn't married to Keira Knightley?
