Controversial Opinions (For Everything Other Than DC Comics)

[Ghost Rider TheHellfireDemon]

Hollywood has no valid intelligent good excuse for not remaking Double Dragon. It's a great arcade game that deserves a faithful great remake that would be a Marked for Death style vicious violent action movie combined with post apocalypse similar to Mad Max and Escape From New York City.
Seriously they remake Tomb Raider that's a great faithful movie, remake Judge Dredd with Dredd a great violent action futuristic science fiction movie so Double Dragon a Rated R faithful feature terrific movie based on the original arcade should be made.

Not everything got shown in the arcade game including the nuclear war, the Black Warriors controlling most of New York City, why the Lee Brothers are attracted to Marian besides she's babe give something of substance don't have her just be a damsel and eye candy give her a damn personality for the remake movie, why exactly the Lee Brothers got involved in Martial Arts, etc.

This would be extremely similar to John Wick and Marked for Death except 2 Badass Warriors smashing more than 50 bad guys, more than 3 main Bad Guys, along with using knives, whips, bats, barrels, etc.
It's a royal embarrassment that Hollywood has not remade Double Dragon after more than 2 decades after the unfaithful mostly 0 effort abomination movie.

Nike's Colin's Sacrifice campaign is brilliant in the short term, creating massive brand attention, declaring to the growing non-white population US "we're on your side", and enabling a stock buy-back at a discounted price.

Whether it's smart in the long term? Ask me in 12 months.

Why in hell doesn't the church join the 21st century and allow priests to marry? All that celibacy bullshit does is entice weaker members of the priesthood to prey on youngsters, resulting in all the madness that's been going on for decades now.

As a point of fact, many non-Catholic faiths allow clergy to marry. Your statement would be better suited by saying Catholic Church.

You have to understand that for a lot of Catholics that's a change who doesn't need to be made. That's the simple truth of it.

And even more complicated, very few people don't want that to change in the Vatican itself and as long as opinions don't change there, it just wont happen. And Cardinals and such aren't going to change their minds soon cause, as i said, that's not something Catholics are screaming for.

And, really, the Church really doesn't give a fck about "being modern".

Priests' celebacy was about property. Second sons of nobles were often shuttled off to The Robes to get them out of The Heir's way. Some of those Heirs didn't live to procreate. Rome didn't want those legacies going to a priest's children, but to Rome.

Vatican collected a lotta property that way.

Actually the earliest traces of priest celibacy we have are back from the 4th century, council of Elvira.

A time when the Roman empire was still a thing and the Vatican not even a concept yet.

Yes, but as a policy for the RCC it didn't become mandatory until the 11th Century, and property and inheritance definitely had a big part of that.

Celibacy was required way before the 11th century.

While we're on the subject of religion, one thing i have seen over the years is many, many Christians admitting than what they believe is probably just a myth but they made the choice to keep identifying themselves as Christians and even to try to convince themselves that they still do believe in that stuff.

Which is truly something fascinating and who says so much about the amazing power of indoctrination at an early age. So, back on the topic of controversial opinion, here's one. No religion should ever be taught to anyone younger than at least 18.

Or it should be considered child abuse.

I have friends who admit they don't really believe anymore, but stay involved in the Church or Temple for their children. Think about that. They want their children to be taught things they now don't think are true. Somehow the idea of religious teaching has become more important than what that teaching is. As if your a bad parent if you don't make sure your kids have some sort of religious training.

That's so crazy and sad. I guess there is also some kind of a social pressure to do so. Maybe they are afraid to be labelled as "bad parent" or something if they don't follow what the others parents are doing and/or what i considered the norm.

[Kirby101]

bingo. As far as I know, Homer and Marge Simpson were never shown to display a belief in God or Christianity, but they only attend the church with their children.

Well Homer has met God, but I think Lisa is at least agnostic.

I think for some parents, the idea is to expose their children to the church or temple and let them make their own decisions.
Others may think the church will instill morality or ethical lessons they don't believe they can teach their children themselves.
