    look the internet is to blame, not norris

    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

    I'm with Geebs. The only thing that doesn't have me as pumped as I can be for this film is Chuck Norris. Because fuck Chuck Norris.

    Hopefully I'll be able to see this movie soon. Had a lot of stuff come up that means I won't have the time or money for a lot of side stuff.

    Chuck Norris wrote:
    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

    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.

    Which is all pretty irrelevant to him being in the film, because he's enjoyable in the film. Which is what matters.
