Just Crouton Posted December 6, 2011 Report Share Posted December 6, 2011 Bull. It's not really brainwashing kids to show businessmen to be evil, but it is overrated to show businessmen as evil. Why should people who work harder than others and get a great, high paying job in an oil company be stigmatized for what they're paid to do? They work harder than others to get the jobs they want, and should be shown as role models for kids to aspire to. Not aspiring kids to work for oil companies, but aspiring kids to have ambition, desire power and financial stability through hard work, and work to achieve it.

Tentacruel Posted December 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2011 See, that's my problem. They show one greedy oil tycoon and suddenly the media in which he appears is stating that all businessmen are evil. Screw stereotypes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legend Zero Posted December 6, 2011 Report Share Posted December 6, 2011 I understood their main point, but once they started bringing Obama into it (not blaming him, but just bringing his name into it for fun) I seriously facepalmed. Then it went into the Seven Deadly Sins at the end and I was a whole lot of confused. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrabHelmet Posted December 7, 2011 Report Share Posted December 7, 2011 There should obviously be a movie told from the perspective of an honest happy family man billionaire good Christian saint who wants to bring oil to the hospitals of the nation, but who is blocked by some evil environmentalist sentimental liberal secular hippie moral relativists who have deviously placed a historic theater in our noble hero's path. I'm sure that would be a wonderful and successful story. There likewise need to be some perspective flips of Walmart's story documenting our glorious captain of industry's battle to supplant a local business run by Mom & Pop Hitler von Puppykicker.

Mehmani Posted December 10, 2011 Report Share Posted December 10, 2011 In America, Conservatives will always win. They have already won. They have won because they are willing to lie, misinform and manipulate both data and people, they are winning to ruin lives for the sole purpose of further purporting their backward agenda. They will win because they are never honest. They must preach endlessly. They control the vast majority of the media. They fail to realize that America is the only fervently Right-Wing developed country in the world. The world's first secular republic...I'll tell you what Jefferson and Washington would think if they saw this now. I think they'd be deeply, deeply disappointed.
