I keep wondering when they're gonna get around to throwing Jet Li in some camp or something somewhere.

I joke... but wonder how close to the truth that could be. They're escalating with no end in sight.

They are domestic terrorists.

Didn't somebody ban some parts of "Tom Sawyer" book a few years ago?
Censoring Mark Twain's 'n-words' is unacceptable

What kind of future the country has when it starts a war against its own history, monuments, films and books?

Liberals are retarded

Lol you are such a drama queen.

Look, I agree the movie shouldn't be banned, but pretending this ban is at all dystopian is just laughable.

One theater decides to stop showing Gone With the Wind every Summer, and it's called a state-wide ban?

 

[HappyJoy]

It's not a ban, morons, the theater that was playing the movie dropped it because of racial tensions. It's called capitalism.

Actually, normal people would call it idiotism.

Gone With the Wind Banned in Tennessee

Yes, you can. Your link just did. Fake news. Gone With the Wind has not been banned in Tennessee. That is a straight out lie. The Orpheum Theater is a non-political historical theater that has spent 15 million dollars on renovating the theater. They host a schedule of theater events year round and the showing of Gone With the Wind was just one of them. They simply took that event off future showings to avoid the controversy and politics. Any theater in Tennessee is free to show the film, hence, it is not banned. Once the controversy is over the Orpheum may decide to put the film back on its schedule.

Obviously you can, for I don't see anywhere in that article anything that states the state of Tennessee banned Gone With the Wind.

 

[S.J.]

They didn't want their theatre burned down.

They didn't want their theatre burned down.

Didn't want degenerate inbred knuckle dragging neo-nazis hanging around.

 

[Camp]

Fake news. Thread title is a lie.

 

[HappyJoy]

Yep, this should be thrown to conspiracies.

 

[Camp]

Yep, this should be thrown to conspiracies.

No, it does not rate being a conspiracy. It is an outright lie. Conspiracy theories have speculative and subjective points to promote the theory. There is no theory in this case. Just a lie.

I voted....I had in mind some thoughts to share with regard to the poll question, but after observing the nature of most remarks preceding this one, there's no point in my doing so. I'll say on that the banning of one book in one place does not the dystopian nightmare of Orwell's 1984 make. Carry on...

 

[FA_Q2]

Do you really not understand the difference in banning something and a private entity deciding not to show it?
