the idea that chuck norris gets AN EPIC ENTRANCE makes me want to see this movie way less than I would have if I'd heard that chuck norris gets horribly murdered in this because fuck chuck norris
On Dec. 27, 1820, Thomas Jefferson wrote about his vision for the University of Virginia (chartered in 1819), "This institution will be based on the illimitable freedom of the human mind. For here we are not afraid to follow the truth wherever it may lead, nor to tolerate any error as long as reason is left free to combat it."
But what should happen 200 years later when our public schools and universities avoid the testing of truths? Or suppress alternate opinions because they are unpopular or politically incorrect? Or no longer tolerate opinions now considered errors or obsolete by the elite? What happens when sociopolitical agendas or scientific paradigms dominate academic views to the exclusion of a minority even being mentioned?
What happens when the political and public educational pendulum swings from concern for the tyranny of sectarianism in Jefferson's day to secularism in ours? What happens when U.S. public schools become progressive indoctrination camps?
Dr. Jim Nelson Black, founder and senior policy analyst of the Sentinel Research Associates in Washington, D.C., wrote an excellent book, "Freefall of the American University." In it, he documents the clear biases pervading our public academic settings. Among that lopsidedness is the intentional training of students to disdain America, freely experiment sexually, forcefully defend issues like abortion and homosexuality, as well as become cultural advocates for political correctness, relativism, globalization, green agendas and tolerance for all.
One of the primary ways these educative platforms are spread is by recruiting and retaining faculty members who reflect and teach them.
Instead of teaching world history, they're now teaching Glee history.
Instead of gym, students go straight to the shower room and spend the full hour soaping each other up.
Instead of teaching abstinence during sex education class, instructors hand out copies of the Kama Sutra and a list of where you can get black market morning-after pills if the free clinic is closed.
Only lesbians can enroll in woodshop class and musical theater is mandatory to all students.
Any mention of Jesus Christ in any book has been crossed out and replaced with the name: Barbra Streisand.
Nope sorry, the Internet is not to blame for Chuck Norris being a homophobic out-of touch douchebag who believes American public schools are "progressive indoctrination camps" who hire teachers to teach kids to become gay-loving religion-hating abortion supporters. Oh, and he's a "birther" also, and also thinks the gay-hating Boy Scouts are the best thing to happen to this country. But I'm sure the Internet is to blame for that too.
i'm not saying that chuck norris is not an awful human being. most of the 80's action stars are awful human beings. arnie and his mistress and seagal and his sex dungeons are prime examples.
the point is that no one would give a shit about what chuck norris had to say if it wasn't for the internet because he wasn't even remotely relevant anymore until the chuck norris jokes

I am pretty tired of Chuck Norris shit and his scenes were good. Get over yourself and enjoy the ride.

Also I'm not going to the movie to support the political ideology of each and every actor in the film. I'm going to the movie to be entertained. Save your slacktivism for facebook rants. (obviously not directed at you TLB)
My sister believes Barack Obama doesn't have a birth certificate. Guess I better beat her over the head with how awful a person she is until she changes her mind.
Can we get over our moral outrage to enjoy a movie in which people are killed by the hundreds because they're bad guys?
I'm seeing the movie anyway. I was just agreeing with the "fuck Chuck Norris" thing Geebs said, and then somebody was like "nope", so I posted my reason for saying "fuck Chuck Norris". Chuck Norris has never, nor will never be the reason I spend money on anything, plus it doesn't help that the best things he's contributed to cinema are fucking Walker Texas Ranger, and getting his ass handed to him by Bruce Lee.

nope sorry this is not true
invasion usa, hero and the terror, the missing in action movies, the delta force movies, lone wolf mcquade, the hitman, the octagon, and sidekicks are all rad as fuck

I have seen none of these, but have heard okay things about MIA and Delta Force. I might, might, see those.

he hasn't said any more crazy shit than the other 80's action icons
but since internet jokes, any time the man did or said anything, it became good fodder to further the meme

Nope.

Well he has a point...

Fuck off Norris.
because you're terrible and have bad opinions
the point is that no one would give a shit about what chuck norris had to say if it wasn't for the internet because he wasn't even remotely relevant anymore until the chuck norris jokes
Seriously. I'm bummed that they went for the cheap joke instead of actually making his background relevant.

it is in my top ten greatest 80's action movies
that is how good it is
I just looked it up, and am definitely seeing it.
For Billy Drago and Richard Lynch.

i say this with love
but goddamn he actually leaves a trail of slime whenever he enters and exits the screen
just the best kind of villain
This makes me so excited. SO EXCITED. hell of a way for him to make his American premier
and though I don't know the writer, the supervising writer is impressive. Dude who wrote Bourne Ultimatum, Adjustment Beaurueue, and Ocean's Twelve
sold
Steam
:^:
And invasion USA is glorious.
Does Van Damme do his signature kick? I'm off to see it in a few hours.
many many many kicks
Well, he adapted the screenplay from the Philip K Dick story.
But he directed it too, so I would guess your opinion still holds up
started up Small Soldiers.
two minutes in, Dennis Leary's secretary that is supposed to be a babe is named Ms. Kegel
If Harrison Ford is in that next one, I want him to say, "Get off my plane."
villainous jackie chan should talk like a supervillain and say I CRAVE TROUBLE in expendables 3
In the middle is Jackie Chan, calmly cracking his knuckles.
a martial arts brawl between chan and norris, done right, would be amazing
YOU WANT TROUBLE? YOU FOUND IT!
what a messed up idea
