[quote that basically says that Christians shouldn't judge anyone]Amen.And guys remember it's just a movie and people's opinions. Quit pointing out facts about a movie becuase you do not agree with it. I understand if the movie has more cussing in it then yeah you do not want to hear it, but going to look up how many times they say the word just to win an "argument" is a little anal. They could say a word a 1000 times, does that mean you will say it?

They could say a word a 1000 times, does that mean you will say it? First of all, you are agreeing with a quote that blatantly disregards 1 Corinthians ch 5. The Bible clearly teaches that we are not supposed to judge those outside the faith, but that we are supposed to hold each other accountable within the fellowship of believers. We can't know a person's heart, but we can judge a tree by it's fruit.Secondly, you say that it's just opinions, and that we shouldn't point out facts. It is pointing out facts that specifically moves us away from opinions. And it doesn't take much time to look up how much profanity is in a movie if a website like Plugged In Online does it for you.Thirdly, you say that hearing a word 1000 times won't make you say it. And while this is true, it is based on the false conclusion that your thoughts, words, and deeds are not at all affected by the environment that you allow yourself to live in. There are many people on this forum who can testify to the fact that their lives have been affected for both good and bad based on the music they listen to, the movies they watch, and the people they hang out with most often.
And guys remember it's just a movie and people's opinions.

Quote from: Alex_Olijar on August 08, 2009, 11:59:04 AMDistrict 9 looks cool. I support anything done by the Peter Jackson though.I liked Watchman the best, if I could just cut out one scene, it would have been on of my favorite movies ever. Though, Star Trek is a close second. Doesn't Watchmen have a lot of sexual connotation?

It's just no worth my integrity. I admit I made a mistake seeing it because I wasn't educated enough about it. My friends were just going so I went. I'm not a huge fan of the christian reviews, but they are helpful in telling me whether or not there is porn in the movie (which there is in Watchmen). I amde a mistake,

Life has sexual condentations, so I can accept some of those logical placed in a storyline to enhance the story and themes, but I can not accept the one scene they put in there over the top. I'll never encourage anyone to see it, even though it was definately on the best stories I've ever seen. It's just no worth my integrity.

Awesome Article find SK
QuoteAwesome Article find SKAwesome article, did you read it? In now way does that back up anything. A 17 year old doing wrestling moves on a 3 year old...a kid punching another kid because of his accent which he saw in Braveheart, which is famous movie about histroy...that article was a joke minus a few examples of some mental patients. I am not trying to argue but I know hearing things more often and seeing it might persuade you more, but that article was a joke. And if your roots are firm then you will be fine.
In fairness, the capacity for humans to act stupidly exists even in the face of good parenting.
complete rubbish. just an excuse for negligent parents to blame their parental shortcomings on the media.

Take my list as however you want to take it. My point was that regardless of what you might think, tons of research and tons of experiences say that you are what you watch/listen too and what you play.

1) My dad, when we were kids, saw a movie in the theater with my mom that had a curse word repeated a lot. They sat through the movie and the word got drilled into his head. A little while later, my brother and I were in the car with him. One of us was acting up and he said the same curse at us out of frustration. He felt so guilty afterward that he pulled over to the side of the road and apologized to us.
2) When I use to play Burnout with a friend a lot, I truly did have the desire to knock cars off the road and ram them into other cards
3) When my wife and I had the CSI marathon, after a few days, I was actually enjoying figuring out different ways we could die and how it could be used for the show
4) Just because you end up not cursing, the more you listen to it, the more you have to fight it back from coming out.
5) How many people have come to Christ or have grown stronger in him by movies like Passion and Facing The Giants (but they must all be fooled because movies have no effect on us).
6) My brother, after seeing the first matrix movie, actually laid on the ground and tried to rise up like Agent Smith did in the subway fight.
7) You must realize how influenced young people are (especially teenagers).
