    Snobbery in the Lounge?

    I'll defer to your greater knowledge in this respect, but by and large, those are exceptions, not the rule, and furthermore are not to be considered any more objective than if they'd been written from the victor's perspective, unless of course, all personal and political and social bias was...

    Snobbery in the Lounge?

    Discussions are organic and evolve. Snobbery led to perception, perception to reality, objectivity vs. subjectivity. It's all good. Plus lots of non sequiturs. :p

    Snobbery in the Lounge?

    Yes, but all of that objective material/information passes through a subjective filter - our brains. And we are products of many things. Give you an example: I was once in a poetry workshop and wrote a poem that dealt with fallout from nuclear testing. Another workshop participant, many...

    Snobbery in the Lounge?

    And, clearly, many already do. You can't force someone to be objective, that's all I'm saying, and you can't eradicate subjectivity or pretend it's not there when it is. We'll have to agree to disagree since I don't think I'm 'confusing' perception with reality at all - I'm saying...

    Snobbery in the Lounge?

    As best we can given the day, our mood, our circumstances, their mood, their circumstances ... proximity helps us avoid some misjudgments but certainly not all. We're subjective beings and how we perceive others and ourselves is also subjective and influenced by myriad variables. The sin is...

    If you knew tomorrow was your last day on earth, what would be your last movie?

    One of my all-time favorite comedies: The Quiet Man starring John Wayne and Maureen O'Hara.

    If you knew tomorrow was your last day on earth, what would be your last movie?

    Noted. I doubt my introducing myself would help members know where I'm coming from since I didn't know I'd be coming from there until I was. Follow? Anyway, no more playing hall monitor. Noted. Will do. Turning in my hall monitor badge as I type this ...

    If you knew tomorrow was your last day on earth, what would be your last movie?

    No. Point well taken. ;) :eusa_clap :eusa_clap :eusa_clap Now that's what I'm talking about. It's okay to say you'd probably not spend your last day on this side of the River Styx watching a favorite flick, but for the sake of the thread ... BRAVO! :eusa_clap :eusa_clap :eusa_clap...

    If you knew tomorrow was your last day on earth, what would be your last movie?

    :eek: Oh, please don't say I can't be a Lady-in-Waiting because of that!!! Tell you what, mix me up a couple (or three) dirty martinis, and I'll watch it all you want, sing noisily (and off-key) while dancing as if no one's watching. :D Deal?

    If you knew tomorrow was your last day on earth, what would be your last movie?

    Not exactly ... Spitfire was implying I have no basis on which to make the statements I have because I am so new. My argument is that regardless how new I am, I can call it like I see it - even if doing so means I'm calling a longer-standing member on the carpet. Yes, geoff_icp is a big boy...

    Yes, it seems we were posting simultaneously (or very nearly). :)

    Snobbery in the Lounge?

    I'm not sure I'm willing to go so far as to equate snobbery with racism. With racism (or sexism), one is being discriminated against for things over which s/he has no control - skin color and gender - one didn't choose one's skin color or gender, and in most instances cannot change either...

    If you knew tomorrow was your last day on earth, what would be your last movie?

    In this thread - to hear what movies people think are so good they'd actually want to watch them the last day they had to live. I love movies and am always curious to see another good one. And your point is ... ? How long I've been a member and how many posts I've made is immaterial. I...
