Pretty bad movie

Jsele did, however, compare BATB to TLM, though. I will acknowledge I was guilty of possibly bringing it up. And for the last time, they are NOT weak, not when I actually backed up my arguments by citing my sources, which is HOW arguments are strong, as stated in school, journalism, everything. Verifiability is derived from "Veritas", which is Latin for "Truth." And Truth = facts. And facts, truth, is the strongest thing out there.

You brought up BatB in your very first post, before jsele even posted, so stop blaming them. Did you really go to college? Arguments are not strong just because they cite sources. And look again, most of your arguments didn't even use sources. The problem is that your arguments are just completely farfetched and nonsensical. But again, I'M NOT GOING TO DISCUSS THAT HERE!

I HAVE experienced people who HAVE constantly bashed The Little Mermaid while conveniently ignoring problems posed by Beauty and the Beast. Like Taran Wanderer 2 for example. Name me one time he hated on the climax of Beauty and the Beast for the exact same reasons he hated on The Little Mermaid's climax. He doesn't, and if anything tries to justify Belle's behavior while demonizing Ariel even though unlike Ariel, Belle DID know what kind of scumbag Gaston was.
As far as my arguments, actually, they DID have sources. They came straight from the scenes of the film. I even make sure to list the scenes in full detail from exactly when they occurred specifically to PROVE they were cited from the scenes by those who've seen them. And college and school reinforced that you NEED to cite your sources in your work in order to prove your arguments are strong especially if they are opinion pieces. In fact, a few of my teachers said they would even give a good grade for essays even if they don't agree with the thesis as long as they were at least argued well, and I've gotten QUITE a few good grades when doing that AND citing my sources.
And like I said, don't like my arguments, there's an ignore button right on top of my posts. Use that.
EDIT: And yes, I HAVE gone to college. In fact, I can even NAME the colleges I went to: Georgia Perimeter College Dunwoody Campus, 2009-2012, and Oglethorpe University, 2012-2014. I may have had a very bad experience in college by professors cramming their agendas onto us (though not in terms of grades. Actually, I got pretty good grades by sheer hard work, and in fact, when I did poorly in regards to my first exam, I actually redid it to see when exactly it matches up with college-level exam work to my professor's standards, all without even expecting a regrade at all. And I fully expected College work to be difficult thanks to Gifted Hands by Ben Carson, so I had no illusions that the coursework was going to be easy).
EDIT 2: But hey, I'll humor you, if you think my arguments are horrible, try actually citing how they are that, and NOT by ad hominems. And I suggest you do it here. -

Just shut up. I simply gave some quick feedback on your essay. It was not an invitation to yet another off-topic discussion on THE LITTLE MERMAID board. Again, take your arguments to the BatB board.
And as I've told you multiple times, I never put people on ignore or report them. If you don't like anyone criticising your posts, then don't post! -

I can tolerate people criticizing me. After all, it's how I get better. Heck, Haruhi criticized me for bashing Beauty and the Beast, and guess what, I acknowledged her point and took it to heart. I also took Coolman229's criticisms on Tumblr to heart when I alluded to my current views on Beauty and the Beast. Heck, I even attempted to do some digging of my own regarding what the other writing staff besides Linda Woolverton herself had in mind when writing the character at his advice.
However, you HAVEN'T offered any constructive criticism, just destructive criticism.
And if you have nothing good to say regarding my posts, then DON'T REPLY at all and take your own advice.
If I am to criticize something as being faulty logic or something, I always make SURE to explain in full detail exactly why it's faulty logic. I've always been taught that simply saying it is that is NEVER enough, that you must explain why you must, so why don't you do that? Don't they teach anyone at school anything these days?
We can agree on one thing, though, The Little Mermaid is certainly not a bad movie. -

Not until you actually ADDRESS why my reasoning is faulty. You can also PM me if you wish.
And for the record, I made SURE to include something in my last post that actually WAS on topic. Namely, stating we can agree that The Little Mermaid was certainly NOT a bad movie at all. -
