Ezhil,

I suggest that you consider using cinema as a means of making your point.

I'm having trouble making much of what you are saying: You seem a bit like people claiming the corruption of youth from various types of music like jazz or rap. Who knows, there may be a common corrupting element in "The Eternal Jew", "The Triumph of the Will", "On Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest", "Dirty Harry", "The Invasion of the Body Snatchers" or "Fitzcarraldo", but it seems to elude me.

The theme of this thread is, of course, nonsense. But at least it is an OPINION, not some second hand stuff from Google or a minor "expert", littered with 'references' that nobody bothers opening.

Hi Ezhill,
"Why does the society allow this kind of wasteful activity"
- Because individuals are allowed to spend or invest their money however they choose, and it can be profitable venture and provide royalties for many years and can also be a national export.

Just like almost every computer we buy Microsoft windows is on it and they collect a form of rent from the world, not just in the initial purchase but in subscriptions.

Why do you think it's wasteful?
A lot of blokes might think Bold and the Beautiful is a waste of money, but millions of women would disagree.

And what's your problem ttbn,
Maybe if you read some of my links you might be better informed, and not still living in the 1950's, and at least I can back up the things I say.

Business oriented capitalistic minds have difficulty in understanding the altruistic principles. Investment and profit model without honesty is a dangerous idea and it has done immense harm to people by way of class struggles.Huge investment in cinema has not helped nations to profit in any sense of the term.Poverty is rampant, communal classes escalate, war is ravaging many regions and people live in fear for their lives. So what is the profit to the society out of colossal investment in cinema? It has helped only cinema people to amass wealth at the cost of people's welfare. Cinema as a technology cannot be misused to benefit only a few, the cinema men and women.

Ezhil,

Are you saying that cinema is like a living force that corrupts minds, or are corrupt minds attracted to cinema? Also, is the corruption perpetrated by cinema a lone wolf or cooperative effort? Could you explain the underlying intelligence or objectives of cinema?

You couldn't put two words together if you didn't have other people's utterances to repeat. And that's all you do: repeat something you saw or heard from other people, most of whom you don't know.

While everyone does this from time to time, references do not prove anything - they are just something you want to believe.

They certainly do not “back up” your posts. They just indicate that someone else holds the same views you do. Big deal! We can all find references that suit our own particular opinions and views; but many of those views and opinions, plus scientific data, get shot down in the course of time. You only have to look at the blues our idiotic politicians have made, and continue to make, by listening to “experts”.

Nobody is infallible. And when you have clearly qualified people such as scientists having opposing views on all sorts of matters, you might as well use Bob the Builder as your “back up”.

How about providing some of your own opinions by starting a thread, instead of just attacking posters who are responding to threads from people with the guts to put something up.

Perhaps you are too cowardly and piss weak?
