instead of doing the whole boycott, media circus thing. If you do not like something, do not see it, turn it off, etc! Christ on a raft!

3. Because they're like that about everything
Not enough to do what they want for themselves and their families. Need to ban books, censor TV and media, 'save' everyone. It's a whole mentality of saving everyone from themselves. I love it when people post *warning* book reviews on Amazon. Dude, it's a book. If it starts offending you, CLOSE IT. Meh. :eyes:

13. LOL, yeah
One of them was Altered Carbon, check it out if you like dystopia/sci-fi. I liked it quite a bit!

4. No kidding.
However, they seem to have this burning desire to control what the REST of us can see/hear/read also.

7. See this scary thread about fundies complaining about Imax films:

They just need to stay away from movie theaters, stay home, turn off the TV and SHUT THE FUCK UP already.

8. Because
If they don't like it, you aren't allowed to like it either. If they think it is wrong, then they want you to think it's wrong also.
The fundies do not want people to make up their own minds about anything...they feel that they can, and should do it for you.

10. Movies
From the Guardian (UK):

Films include Cosmic Voyage, an animated journey through the universe; Galapagos, a documentary about the islands where Darwin made some of his most important observations; and Volcanoes of the Deep Sea, an underwater epic about the bizarre creatures that flourish near ocean vents.

12. Because that would be levelheaded and rational
and as you and I know, fundies don't do rational.
