DAL shows "Brokeback Mountain" inflight!!!

[AirBadger]

"You know your republican when your more offended by Broke Back Mountain" then you are by Abu Grab."

Funny cause it's true.

Brokeback Mountain the movie

If Brokeback were a film about a man and a woman there would be nothing to talk about. It is about two men so the fires are flamed (no pun intended). It portrays what really happens in this world we live in. Not talking about is not going to make it go away. It has happened for thousands of years and is not going to go away. People are people. If we should not discuss what we feel is wrong in our world, why do we love War movies? Movies about divorce, spousal abuse, famine, murder, etc...

Hipocrates are the ones who love to dish out what the rest of the world should think. They are in the strip clubs saturday night shoving dollars into G stings then sitting in the back row of their church hung over on sunday.

But, you are entitled to your opinion.

Does DAL serve pudding?

 

[regionaltard]

Are you that suprised? They sponsor the Gay Pride parade in Atlanta every year.

Not to mention the closeted crowd around here that loudly proclaims its "real" orientation with an endless stream of drivel about vanity "no" votes and lines drawn at 70 seats when each and every one of them knows that the TA will pass, and also knows that if he had to cast the deciding vote he'd be out of the closet in a heartbeat to do whatever it took to stay on the job.

i just flew atl-lgw on them...it was only showing in business class on the personal tv monitors.

There is a joke there somewhere, but I'll be darned if I can come up with it.

For a second there I thought you were talking about Hollywood. Then again we know they are much more qualified to comment on the state of the world, seeing as how they are celebrities and all.

Those Saturday night sinners/Sunday morning preachers are no more entitled to tell anyone how to think then the Liberals are who tell us what we should accept as normal. Difference is, the Liberals are rarely, if ever, called on it, and when they are the person questioning the double standard is automatically branded an intolerant, "ignorant idiot".

 

[Spooky 2]

I don't know why but this quote just seems appropriate. Might as well offend everyone while I'm at it.

Andy Rooney said on "60 Minutes" a few weeks back:</B>

I don't think being a minority makes you a victim of anything except numbers. The only things I can think of that are truly discriminatory are things like the United Negro College Fund, Jet Magazine, Black Entertainment Television, and Miss Black America. Try to have things like the United Caucasian College Fund, Cloud Magazine, White Entertainment Television, or Miss White America; and see what happens...Jesse Jackson will be knocking down your door.

Guns do not make you a killer. I think killing makes you a killer. You can kill someone with a baseball bat or a car, but no one is trying to ban you from driving to the ball game.

I believe they are called the Boy Scouts for a reason, that is why there are no girls allowed. Girls belong in the Girl Scouts! ARE YOU LISTENING MARTHA BURKE?

I think that if you feel homosexuality is wrong, it is not a phobia, it is an opinion.

I have the right "NOT" to be tolerant of others because they are different, weird, or tick me off.

When 70% of the people who get arrested are black, in cities where 70% of the population is black, that is not racial profiling, it is the Law of Probability.

I believe that if you are selling me a milkshake, a pack of cigarettes, a newspaper or a hotel room, you must do it in English! As a matter of fact, if you want to be an American citizen, you should have to speak English!

My father and grandfather didn't die in vain so you can leave the countries you were born in to come over and disrespect ours.

I think the police should have every right to shoot your sorry ass if you threaten them after they tell you to stop. If you can't understand the word "freeze" or "stop" in English, see the above lines.

I don't think just because you were not born in this country, you are qualified for any special loan programs, government sponsored bank loans or tax breaks, etc., so you can open a hotel, coffee shop, trinket store, or any other business.

We did not go to the aid of certain foreign countries and risk our lives in wars to defend their freedoms, so that decades later they could come over here and tell us our constitution is a living document; and open to their interpretations.

I don't hate the rich I don't pity the poor.

I know pro wrestling is fake, but so are movies and television. That doesn't stop you from watching them.

I think Bill Gates has every right to keep every penny he made and continue to make more. If it ticks you off, go and invent the next operating system that's better, and put your name on the building.

It doesn't take a whole village to raise a child right, but it does take a parent to stand up to the kid; and smack their little behinds when necessary, and say "NO!"

I think tattoos and piercing are fine if you want them, but please don't pretend they are a political statement. And, please, stay home until that new lip ring heals. I don't want to look at your ugly infected mouth as you serve me French fries!

I am sick of "Political Correctness." I know a lot of black people, and not a single one of them was born in Africa; so how can they be "African-Americans"? Besides, Africa is a continent. I don't go around saying I am a European-American because my great, great, great, great, great, great grandfather was from Europe. I am proud to be from America and nowhere else

And if you don't like my point of view, tough...

I PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE TO THE FLAG, OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, AND TO THE REPUBLIC, FOR WHICH IT STANDS, ONE NATION UNDER GOD, INDIVISIBLE, WITH LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL!

I was asked to send this on if I agree or delete if I don't. It is said that 86% of Americans believe in God. Therefore I have a ver y hard time understanding why there is such a problem in having "In God We Trust" on our money and having "God" in the Pledge of Allegiance. Why don't we just tell the 14% to Shut Up and BE QUIET!!!

If you agree, pass this on, if not delete. .​

FWIW, I think Snoops has proved that to be a fake quote...

[Flex81]

Seriously, who cares? I'm straight and fully confident in my sexuality and had no problems with the movie. Those of you that do are ignorant idiots. If it bothers you that much then I think you have some serious personal issues.

I am also straight and fully confident in my sexuality but it f%$#ing grosses me out to see guys making out with eachother. This I cannot change. I can't just say "I will not be grossed out anymore by that." There are a lot of other people out there like me. Yes, I can choose not to watch, and that is what I would've done. However DAL should choose movies that everyone can watch.

 

[TEXAN AVIATOR]

That is Gay!

 

[DrunkIrishman]

See one of the previous posts about the James Bond movie. I don't know if there is a movie that my wife likes that I can watch.

 

[DirkkDiggler]

This whole gay thing is just like the racial discrimination of the 1960's and earlier. In 50 years, I can only hope, we will look back at the way we currently discriminate against people of different sexual persuasions than our own and be sick to our stomachs. It's human nature to hate people who are different than ourselves, but when it comes down to it, gayness is a part of our society these days, and if you can't handle it, don't put on your headphones and watch the film. Anyone who is truly comfortable in their sexuality won't have a problem watching this film anyway. Perhaps Delta isn't the problem. It's people who are closed minded to people who are different than themselves and are unable to be secure in themselves who are the problem. I've never had a gay man bother me, and I don't see what the big deal is with people being different than myself. Get over yourselves and let people be who they are. We've all got enough crap going on in our own lives that we don't need to be worrying about the way others live their lives. It's bulliness pure and simple and it's ignorant. I'm done with my rant. Get over yourselves!

 

[Tim47SIP]

Convincing the masses!

Why shouldn't they show it? If you don't want to see it don't watch. It was only the most award winning movie last year..Get over it!

That was because Hollywood is promoting that life style. When Hollywood wants to move people in their direction, they make movies and vote for an award. This gives the average idiot out there the impression that the whole country is thinking that way. Look at M Moors "documentary"! It got an academy award as well even though it turned out to be complete BS. Hollywood does not like the current administration so that is how they try to sway the opinion of the populous. I guess it works.

 

[John Pennekamp]

And you know you're a Liberal when:

-you believe in "Diversity" only when it involves what you find acceptable.
-you believe in respecting opinions only when it involves opinions that you agree with.
-anyone who disgrees with you is an "ignorant idiot".

For a second there I thought you were talking about Hollywood. Then again we know they are much more qualified to comment on the state of the world, seeing as how they are celebrities and all.

It's funny how something slightly against the right wing agenda brings the kooks out of the woodwork. All of a sudden you hear a bunch of flag waiving, proud American, let's kick all of these liberal pansies back to Europe, blah blah.

What's even funnier is how the right wing (really Christian Coalition, who are currently running our government) tries to label everyone as either "liberal" or "conservative". In polls, only 30% of Americans associate themselves with one political party. Most will tell you they cross party lines and vote independently for the candidate they feel is best, yet America is more divided than ever. Fringe groups on both sides feel politics is and must be a black vs white issue with no shades of gray. I've got news for you... "that dog don't hunt".

It's not fair to label everyone as liberal because they come out against discrimination of a gay person. Or anyone else for that matter. It's also not fair to label someone as conservative just because they fell for Bush's Orwellian agenda. I can't much blame them considering the brainwashing they recieve every Sunday morning, Sunday night, and Wednesday evening.

Now personally, I found the movie to be objectionable and chose not to see it. I see no "liberal agenda" to soften America here, just a Hollywood that has lost touch with what the average American wants to see. Hollywood has been turning out crap for years and giving it awards. As for Delta showing it inflight, I find that to be of poor taste, especially if it was a mass viewing on the big screens. Then again, I have found most of what Delta management has done over the last 5-7 years to be of poor taste, so there you go.

By the way, this was meant to be very tongue in cheek. Spare me the flames.

Regionals forum...ironic

How gay is gay?

Is "gay" a "straight" 22 year old regional FO with spiked frosted hair, wearing a backpack as a substitute for a flight case, giggling at his blackberry like a school girl in the terminal for all the pax to see.

Or is "gay" a 22 year old homosexual cowboy that knows how to skillfully kill, clean, cook and eat an Elk?

I know which one I laugh at and which one I would be scared of.

Things that make you go Hmmmmmm.

 

[mrswede]

Has anyone seen pirates? I almost payed $79 in Canada for this movie. Is it worth it?

 

[tscarecrow]

The thing about gay people is, you all have one in your family, wether you know it or not. Do you love them any less?

WWJD?

 

[nimtz]

Not that it matters to the right wingers on here, but I'm sure it was on the individual monitors. Somebody that creates an inflight incident over that is defintely one to roll the eyes at. One time on a CAL transcon in first I watched a 90 minute documentary on TuPac. Although I thought it kicked, let's just say most first class customers would have found it alot more offensive then Heath Ledger's rear or whatever they do in that movie.

Not that it matters, but Heath was Pitchin' and Jake wuz Catchin'. The movie was playing on DAL's ATL-LGW 777 in Business Elite section. Personal monitors so you're not forced to watch. I'd seen it already. The Ole' Lady made me watch it, not a bad movie. More of a chick flick, cept wif Gay dudes. LOL.... BOUYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

No, actually, "Hipocrates" was a famous Greek physician.

Perhaps "hypocrite" is the correct spelling?

:angryfire I'm with Palerider. It's no longer a matter of "if you don't like it, just turn it off". Now we are having the immoral disgusting garbage FORCED on us. I'd expect this krap from United, but never good ole rednecky Delta.

 

[acaTerry]

I see no "liberal agenda" to soften America here, just a Hollywood that has lost touch with what the average American wants to see. Hollywood has been turning out crap for years and giving it awards.

But you fail to see how stupid the average American has become. All it takes is a TV show or movie to say something and the next thing you know, we have the public going along with it. There is simply no denying this. Here's the example I am sure you want now:
Remember the Murphy Brown issue...the single mom stuff, and how Dan Quayle was labelled an idiot for saying that the show would lead to an increase in unwed mothers? Well SUPRISE!! look what we have now...more kids born out of wedlock than there there are to married couples.
Homosexuals getting married, adopting kids, and we straight people have to pay for it with increases in health plans to take upfor all the new diseases being treated. Why can't a homo live a respectable life in chaste? Is it shameful to control yourself? Is it BAD to follow what God wants because sometimes it doesn't feel good? It is medical FACT, proven by years and years of the AMA's and CDC's research that an active homosexual lifestyle is one of the greatest risks a person can take, and that active homosexuals rarely live beyond the age of 45. Look at the AMA's report, its on the web.
It is unhealthy, it violates God's law and NATURAL LAW (which is totally autonomous of God so quit your accusations here) and yet it is being shoved down our faces. You liberals always cry out that people should have freedom to not be offended. But oh man, how you liberals come out crying loud in force against us whenever the conservatives wish to not be offended. The gay movie belongs out of places like airplanes where it can not be avoided.
If "The Passion Of The Christ" was shown on a plane you'd all be fired up in droves.
Again, Murphy Brown being the case in point...So now we have more kids growing up without fathers, crime (despite CNN's "adjustments") on the rise, especially in the 12-17 year old age group, and our moral fabric is GONE. Gay is good, straight is bad? Porn is good and religion is bad? WTFO?
