Kind of a semantic argument justifying a female playing a role that has been male for 60 years.


No the role played by the male is james bond, he is still in the film and is played by a male.
The woman who has his number is trying to get him out of retirement to save the world.

Not a role it is a fictional job position in British intelligence that white men aren't entitled to Glot lol.

Don't worry as empowering as movies get they always fall back into traditional roles and never really challenge audiences.

I understand the difference. James Bond AND 007 has been a male role (as in acting) for 60 years. In fact, for 60 years James Bond HAS BEEN... 007.

It doesn't really bother me... I don't HAVE to watch a James Bond movie with a female playing 007. In fact the male/female thing doesn't really bother me.
What does "grind my gears" is this is another example of Hollywood folks altering the original stories, to make a buck with little to no work.

It's like the Bladerunner 2049 flick. Cheap imitation of the original. The list of re-written differently, movies is long and not very glorious. I noticed it around 2014-ish. Lots of non-original content being shoveled out for our viewing pleasure.








/e OMG, the left finally made a decent meme...









For those that may never have heard the rhyme...






"Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall,"
By Mother Goose


Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall,
Humpty Dumpty had a great fall;
All the king's horses and all the king's men
Couldn't put Humpty together again.

Good parable in this instance. I like how he put a dunce cap on the egg, clever.

I'm sure there are no rules prohibiting YOU from posting memes of higher quality. Just like I'm sure there's no rules preventing you from blocking my posts, if they so offend you.


Never said I was offended.

Its not idiotic at all. The point isn't that its comparable to modern machine guns, but that guns that fired faster than Muskets predated the 2nd amendment.. which directly counters the argument that the founders couldnt have perceived of guns firing faster and only meant for the 2A to apply to muskets.

The puckle gun is notable for being considered the first of its kind and for being invented very significantly prior to the 2nd amendment.
If your argument is that they might not have known about it or that it was too slow, Joseph Belton had direct correspondences with the continental congress about producing guns that could fire up to 20 shots in 5 seconds.


yeah b.s.

when liberals use "assault weapon" as a stand in to scare tactic people into thinking a semi automatic rifle is somehow more scary mechanically, rather than just looks, we call a big B.S.

when someone says "the machine gun existed back then" on a meme to do the same thing in the other direction, i call B.S.

that gun was a SLOW semi automatic gun, something we can all agree for the most part should be legal. everyone agrees muskets should be legal as they were explicitly what the 2nd A was about, at the time. bringing machine guns in is just memery.

The Belton correspondence compared to the Puckle gun is a far better piece of evidence.

arguing against "2a only applies to muskets" people is pretty fruitless anyways. as the US army was nearly all militia in many cases they'd have given militia rocket launchers if they had them. it was war against the british afterall. these idiots think that an army willing to buck tradition and forgo formation lines in a tactic at the time seen as barbaric would have wagged a finger at an AR15?

I'm glad they have you to fight their fights for them. After all, women and coloreds cant rise up without a white male savior showing them the way.
