Oh well if you really want to do that
just show little kids getting tore apart
piece by piece with the full bloodie details!

Then you really will have a completely Despicable killer!
Hmmm Not to meation a lot of people vomiting there guts all over the place.

I mean if your going to go out for evil
Hell go all the way!

If they showed a kid being torn apart they would lose their budget, get the fuck sued out of them if that kind of thing ever got into theatres. Next thing you know you're gonna bitch about it why anyone has to die in a horror movie, you're one of those lonely people who have nothing to do but protest things that have nothing to do with you at all, aren't you?

Germs arent animals, they are either protozoans, bacteria or viruses. So endeth Mr Anal Technical Guy's lesson.

It's all about context and manipulation. In the dog soldiers example, there werent any little kids to be torn apart into bloodie (:rolleyes: ) pieces. and there is a huge gulf between the quiet nutcase next door and Pol Pott.

I hop eyou are just acting over-sensitive to someone criticizing what you said (and trying to be constructive, i might add), but your suggestion is like saying "well, why dont we just nerve gas and nuke the entire middle east? that would stop them from fighting!"

Calm down. Fluffy wasnt really hurt, that is what the disclaimer at the end of the credits is for. Dont be one o fthose "this offends me a little so the whole world should stop doing it" people.

i think we have a animal rights activist own our hands!

Dude.....germs are animals!

Dude.......okay, well, maybe they're not. But they sure look like animals, that's fer sure.

Dont mess with me man... i'll flip ya. Flip ya for real...

10 points to whoever knows what movie that is from.

I've seen it, I just don't remember what the hell movie it was. Xanadu?

Ohh I see
if it involves a animal
getting hurt that's ok

but when it involves a kid being taken apart then that's
all together a whole different story.

Well like you said
Its only a Movie no one is really getting hurt :)

Ya see the point is pretty much the same when you think about it
Just as there are no people that would not want to see a Kid taken apart,There are those of us that feels the same way when it comes to seeing animals harmed for absolutely no other reason then just cause the writer decides to make his villain more despicabale and evil.
