Are you saying animal cruelty doesn't exist anymore?? Because it does.
It depends on what type of animal cruelty. The type that you see in Cannibal Holocaust doesn't really exist, simply because the 'cannibal-exploitation' genre died out years ago, and that was the biggest offender. Many of these cannibal films featured animal cruelty/killings, but you know what the PETA fanatics are getting pissed about now?

if they wanna change they country for the place where the american blacks (or which other new political corect defintion is en vogue) in usa live? or should we look back how formely slaves are building a new country called Liberia? Whas a great project..you dont have to hate black people or to feel better as a white one if you only know the history of this country. Then the Amistad movie from Spielberg which was sooooooooo happy ending sweet.until the story in real ends that protagonist of the movie will be after a boss for trading slaves.
Neverending story and this one only from a view of a provocateur
Discussion about movies and moral but also in a country which many states know today to execute a human on a electrical death chairhey put someone to be cooked on a stair until they die. Really sometimes i cant get some arguments for real. And then its hard to stay calme when you see how others around you just discuss the same hype at time but dont have a small knowledge about history and that bad or good only is a definiton from humans. IN WHICH TIME, IN WHICH COUNTRY OR CULTURE..also never the same.
i dont blame the people for trying making the world a better place. i wish sometimes i can just destroy it..not start building better one. just destroying.
but emotions and special persons are then which prevents me to try it justeven if i will fail so fast as i start

That's a smart way of looking at it and I'd never thought of that before. -

The only problem with that analogy is that people are still bummed out about slavery. There are people in America who aren't over it and they weren't even a part of it. That's why some people are still harping on about reparations. -

Um , thats a load of bull. Kids in China are forced to work at sweat shops for pay of a bowl of rice. And not to mention the large underground sex trade that goes on, women and children are kidnapped and then sold to be sex workers in foreign countries.
Thats all happening NOW

Come on now, the guy was trying to make a point. I am pretty certain that he was talking about the African slavery in America, which, I can attest to, no longer exists. Let's not get so hung up on this point. What he is trying to say is that animal cruelty in movies no longer exists, so what is the point of bringing up a point that is now moot? I don't think you will find anyone that disagrees that an animal should not be slaughtered in the making of a movie. You aren't breaking any ground or bringing up a point that is even relevant to current movie making procedures. Let's cut the guy some slack. He obviously wasn't thinking about the sex trafficking epidemic, or sweat-shops in China. Take a breath, and chill the beep out.

the prison system is a joke, but equating it to slavery is a bit hyperbolic, don't you think? The reverse comparison might make it look a little like you are comparing the people that have been forced into slavery to convicted criminals That's a pretty fine line.

Touche, however, I still slightly disagree. I refuse to believe that your prison population is in any way representative for your criminal population - so most of the people in there are in there because of other people's prejudice not because they're criminals (even if they are convicted). For 500 years ago they might say you were committing a crime by simply being black - and so you were a convicted criminal (yeah, I'm taking it a bit far, but you see my point, no?=)..
Plus, I'd say slavery is slavery, regardless of what the slave have done earlier in his life. Of course you need laws and punishments for those who break them, but when you profit on it, it's suddenly in people's interest to have criminals in their society and things start getting sketchy. -

The only problem there is the news media will say anything to get ratings. Yes, sex slavery does occur and it's horrible, but it's better to do the research yourself instead of relying on CNN or Fox.

Oh how wrong you are about this one! Go pick up a book on the sex trade to get started -

why dont you carve out a hole in a tree and beep it. you people(including OP) are in need of a good slap in the face to make you realize what matters in the world. i bet you walk by homeless people and dont think twice about giving them change but an animal gets tortured (which has happened more or less for thousands of years) and your all offended. start giving a beep about what matters in the world rather than a buncha animals from 20 years ago
