Disney Fires ‘Guardians Of The Galaxy’ Director Over Old Tweets…

01) Disney Fires ‘Guardians Of The Galaxy’ Director Over Old Tweets

Thanks to feinmann0!

“Disney has cut ties with James Gunn, the director of its enormously successful “Guardians of the Galaxy” franchise, over old shock-humor tweets resurfaced by a pair of far-right media figures on Thursday.

The now-deleted tweets, sent by Gunn between 2008 and 2011, first began trending after Pizzagate conspiracy theorists Mike Cernovich and Jack Posobiec drew attention to them, likely in retribution for Gunn’s outspoken criticism of President Donald Trump.

Some of the tweets:

… “Expendables is so manly I fucked the shit out of the pussy boy next to me”

… “I remember my first NAMBLA meeting. It was the first time I felt ok being who I am”

… “I’m doing a big Hollywood film adaptation of The Giving Tree with a happy ending — the tree grows back and gives the kid a blowjob”

… “I like it when little boys touch me in my silly place”

… “Eagle Snatches Kid is what I call it when I get lucky”

… “My new film: Jerkloose – a small town where beating off is illegal & 1 high school kid jerks off in front of the others to show how fun it is”

… “Three Men and a Baby They Had Sex With”

… “Tell your 3 year old you’re laughing thinking of me fucking 3PO. He’ll appreciate it when older”

This story is a little bit old…but, I may have neglected to post/write anything about it.

Rumor has it, James has already been hired by DC…who desperately need a good director, to help get their DC movie universe on a good track.

People on Twitter were losing their minds, over Gunn’s timeline…and they worked with fervor, to get him fired.

Others say he is a SJW, falling to the same tactics he was known to use against conservatives…a la poetic justice…

I don’t know…I just think people are shitty, for spinning something like that out of proportion, and meddling with someone else’s professional career…whether James ever did it, or anybody else.

People have no right to get another person severed from their income/career, just because they don’t like what that person has expressed.

I saw some of the tweets, people were howling over…

…I wasn’t phased in the least.

Then there was also the pictures of “the pedophile parties”…where people were claiming, that Hollywood people were dressing up in costumes, and posing for pictures, as a “pedophile and child rape” party.

Why Theists Can’t Convert Atheists…

01) Why Theists Can’t Convert Atheists


“Do atheists ever find god? How can you make an atheist believe in god? Can you convert an atheist? Well, if you’re a theist, the answers to those questions might disappoint you. Theists often don’t understand atheism in the first place, and even when they do, they often use faulty arguments to prove god’s existence. When I came out as an atheist, I was bombarded by bad arguments for god, and that still hasn’t changed much. So, I thought I’d give theists some advice on how to talk to atheists.

It strikes me how so many “My conversion from atheist to Christian” type stories involve emotional reasoning. The Kalam cosmological argument, Paschal’s wager, the ontological argument, the argument for design, and the like don’t seem to convince many atheists, and those with decent critical thinking skills don’t seem to convert.”

01) Bernie Sanders Takes On Saudi Arabia


“Bernie Sanders has strong words for the ongoing relationship between Saudi Arabia and the United States.

The likely assassination of the Saudi critic and Washington Post journalist Jamal Khashoggi underscores how urgent it has become for the United States to redefine our relationship with Saudi Arabia, and to show that the Saudis do not have a blank check to continue violating human rights.

One place we can start is by ending United States support for the war in Yemen. Not only has this war created a humanitarian disaster in one of the world’s poorest countries, but also American involvement in this war has not been authorized by Congress and is therefore unconstitutional.

In March 2015, a coalition of Arab states led by Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates started a war against Yemen’s Houthi rebels. Since then, many thousands of civilians have been killed and many more have lost their homes. Millions are now at the risk of the most severe famine in more than 100 years, according to the United Nations. The chaos in Yemen has also provided fertile ground for extremist groups like Al Qaeda and the Islamic State, and created new opportunities for intervention by Iran.”
