I did not rant. I responded. I am sorry that English is not your first language. I have a life, I'm not a troll, but to sensitve snowflakes who can't respond intelligently, well...guess that's "trolling"!! LOL
Hope BugisStreet grows a thicker shell, grows a brain, gets an education. What a sad little person! And FYI, if there are TWO posts, point out which one you are responding to!
"She" knows "she" is a male? Then why does a he want to be called a she? This makes sense to you??? Okay, but not to me. Then why did "she" whack off her male parts? NOT pretending to be a naturally born female? How the hell could Bruce Jenner "pretend" to be a naturally born female anyway, when he was married to three women and FATHERED a half dozen kids??
Obviously now he wants to be considered a female after fathering a bunch of kids and mentally screwing up THEIR lives!
Well, you and I differ on the definition of "pretending" I guess! Grow your hair, put on a dress and pantyhose, nail polish and make-up, have plastic surgery to "feminize" your features, and well...uh...yeah.. you ARE pretending to be a female!
I have women friends and relatives who hate pantyhose and eschew make-up, but luckily they DON'T have to pretend to be female with clothes and make-up....BECAUSE they ARE! A biological woman can have a butch haircut and wear jeans and boots and she is STILL female. A male, on the other hand, has to wear a costume to be considered in any way, shape or form, a female.
Bruce/Caitlin can call himself a female, but he isn't. Neither are the countless, nameless, non celebrity transgenders who suffer from this mental affliction. I feel sorry for them. But I won't pay lip service to their sick delusions.
Hey Tom! What are you? A hater? A Catholic? LOL That's what I was "accused" of being on the other thread.
Bruce Jenner was a world class athlete. I will always admire his athletic ability. But I'm sorry he has a mental problem. But you're either an XX or an XY. No amount of "surgery" can change that!
Well thanks for the reply. It would have not helped the show for the Petries to have a baby during its initial run. Like I wrote, it was hard enough to find a place to put Ritchie for long stretches. He was usually in his room. Luckily Millie lived next door and was willing to babysit so much.
The show was great as it was and it would've just been awkward. Who would be watching the baby? Just like little Ricky on I Love Lucy, babies and toddlers are just "in the way" of the storyline.
In the reunion show I didn't necessarily want to see another sibling. Like I said, just a mention. Since Laura had started out as a dancer, I would not have minded if they threw in a line or two about the Petrie's daughter who was "out of town performing with a dance company." I don't know. Just an idea I had.
Actually the reunion show was kind of sad. Buddy and Mel were gone since the actors passed away and their absence left a big hole. And then there was Millie without Jerry since Jerry Paris had also passed away. I watched the show but I felt sad.
Once again wars are founded on greed and a desire for more, that is, more of other people's stuff, land, property,etc.
Do YOU know the number of transgender people who try to commit suicide? Do you know that many transgenders are still suicidal after surgery? I admit that I don't have the numbers at hand, but they are high.
Something cannot be "significantly less" of a mental disorder because people accept it. If I had a friend who was an alcoholic and he or she enjoyed his lifestyle, I still wouldn't offer him a cocktail if he came to my house.
Sorry to seem so argumentative. You sound like a nice person who means well. I am not trying to "spread hate". But I cannot pretend to think it is normal to cut off body parts because you want to be a different gender. The scientific truth is, you CANNOT change your gender. You CAN live your life as the opposite sex if you want to. It's not against the law. And I would not condone violence against a person who lives that way.
So much of society advocates acceptance. Okay. Acceptance of a person as a human being with rights. But why do I have to pretend that I actually believe the person has magically changed genders through surgery, clothes and cosmetics? I don't and I can't pretend to think it is normal.
For years feminists have shoved the idea down our throats that "gender identity" is merely a social construct. Girls "only" play mommy and play with dolls because that's what they are "forced" to do by society ( I guess having a uterus would in no way make them maternal. Nature isn't THAT clever. lol). Boys act aggressively "only" because they are socialized that way and given trucks and G.I. Joe toys and action figures. Never mind that testosterone makes males more aggressive. And it's the highest in young men. So who do we send to war? But give the children gender neutral toys and they'll somehow "choose" their identity.
Now the transgender community and its advocates come out with YES OF COURSE, male and female brains ARE different. If you have a female brain in a male body or vice versa, life is sheer hell. Well I agree, up to a point. If you FEEL like one gender and actually ARE another, life must be pretty awful for you. Just as if you are schizophrenic and feel like people are trying to kill you, life is horrible. But it doesn't mean that what you feel is necessarily real.
So seriously, which is it? We've been told by the Gloria Steinem crowd for decades that there are NO appreciable differences between boys and girls. It's ALL a masculine plot to keep girls down and women in their lower place. But NOW, surprise! We DO have brains which are wired differently. Can you just understand, if not accept, that I don't buy into the current pseudo science of the day? I am not trying to be mean, just logical.
These people have some serious mental issues. Chastity Bono came out as a lesbian. Then a few years later she "came out" as a man. I did watch the special that she did - Becoming Chaz. Later on Chaz said that he was never a lesbian. Honestly, is this not some messed up @#@# or what? When people don't know if they like boys or girls, IF they ARE boys or girls,etc. WTF. I don't feel hate towards them. I feel sadness and pity. When a person has that much trouble identifying what or who they are, that is sorrowful. But the typical politically correct crowd just wants to humor them.
It's a disorder. People with this condition do need help and treatment. I feel bad for them. But sharing in their delusion will not help them as far as I can tell.
So now blacks and Jews are the same as transgender???
As far as discrimination, not just "at one time", there are categories of people who are still discriminated against. For instance, it aint very healthy to be gay in a country with Sharia law!
Hatred and wars started over "non acceptance"? Uh, they are started over MONEY, power, and greed! Have you ever read any history books? LOL No country in the history of the world invaded another one because it "hated" the homosexuals or women who lived there.
Sure , being a "woman" is not delusional to Bruce Jenner. Just like being Napoleon or communicating with aliens through the fillings in your teeth is not delusional to schizophrenics. Someone's subjective "reality" is not necessarily what is actual, factual reality.
Sorry if I sound harsh. I am not trying to "spread negativity". If I met Bruce/Caitlin, I sure would not say a word to him in regard to his desire to live as a woman. I wouldn't care if he moved into my neighborhood. But I don't see why I must accept a man, any man who cuts off his male organs as a a "real" female. He may really want to live as one but I am not spreading hate because I don't buy into the delusion. How exactly is it hateful if a person refuses to buy into someone else's delusion?
Recently I took a quiz on-line. Afterwards they asked for some personal information: your country, your religious affiliation, age,etc. The usual gender question is "check one box, male or female".
This time it was "What GENDER were you assigned at birth?" HUH You have got to be effin KIDDING me! I was not "assigned" a gender. I presume the doctor took one look at me and said "It's a girl" because I AM!
I was "assigned" a name by my parents. I was "assigned" a Social Security number by the government.. But I was not assigned a gender. God created male and female.
I also don't have any money in this race either! But this society of ours is going off the rails when it caters to delusionality such as " You are assigned a gender at birth."
Actually I don't think a lot of these men who "feel" like women actually have a clue what it is to be female. And how would they? They are men! Bruche Jenner said that he was wearing pantyhose under his suits years ago to "feel like a woman." He couldn't wait to finally "be" a woman so he could wear nail polish all the time. I have female friends who detest pantyhose and never paint their nails. So is Caitlin more of a woman than they are?
I find it extremely alarming that there is a growing trend to allow young children to take hormones or other drugs to suppress natural adolescence so they can be the gender they "feel" like. Our society is in the middle of a full blown crack up. I don't want to spread hate, but preading a little sanity would be nice.
Not enough time to answer those questions! But the short version, have you heard of body dysmorphic disorder which affects mostly women who starve themselves because they "feel fat"? Do we humor a woman who is an eighty pound human skeleton and give her diet pills?
When Karen Carpenter dropped dead from heart failure because she "felt fat" and starved herself, was she happier and fulfilled?
You are either born MALE or FEMALE! For the medical community and people in general to humor such delusions is really pathetic. These people need help, not surgery to mutilate themselves.
I realize in today's world of "anything goes" and let's humor every twisted delusion that people have, to come out and be honestly against humoring mental illness is now somehow mean. I think the new buzzword is "transphobic" to go along with every other phobia that the media has created.
I wish Bruce Jenner well in his new delusional life as "Caitlyn". But he and other men who whack off their $#@#$ are not females. They want to play female. But I am not required to accept them as women.
No, he just got his "boy parts" whacked off.
This world is going nuts when instead of psychiatry, people who are delusional have surgery.
I've decided to identify as one of the offspring of Pres. Trump. I am now "trans financial". Of course it hasn't helped my checking account at all. But I wish my bank would stop being so prejudiced and accept me for the wealthy person which I think I AM!
This world is going freakin nuts!
This is one of my favorite episodes too. At some point I think everyone wants to lose themselves in their own version of "The Private World of Arthur Curtis." I can't blame the actor for preferring his fantasy.
This is one of those TZ episodes that really explores human nature. Sometimes you find yourself in such an impossible situation that you want to escape.
I could go with most of those episodes. But I really like "Escape Clause". Maybe it was David Wayne's portrayal of a self pitying jerk who got his comeuppance. Maybe it was because here was YET another human who thought he was more clever than Satan!
I donk know why, I just liked that episode. Walter Bedeker was a typical TZ type of character who was "long suffering" and self absorbed. He treated his devoted wife like dirt and only cared about himself.
This episode had a definte TZ type ending for the main character. He wanted everything his own way, but in the end he got nothing.
The same goes for "A Short Drink from a Certain Fountain." Flora was selfish and self centered. Her elderly husband's youth serum turned him into a baby. Now she was going to have to spend all her time tending to a child. Of course she would have had an escape clause of her own. She seemed too selfish and self involved to spend her life taking care of a child. I think she would have considered putting her husband up for adoption! Of course there was a clause that she would lose access to his money if she didn't care for him. But geez,he WAS a baby! He would have no idea what she was up to so I am sure that the crafty Flora would have found another sugar daddy while "raising her baby".
I also liked "No Time Like the Past." It was the typical time travel story where the protagonist tries to change the past but he can't. The past cannot be changed. It's very stubborn. Interesting how the main character tried to avert disaster, but he was thwarted at every turn. And the last segment was clever. He tried to stop a tragedy but it was actually his own actions which caused it.
Most of the other episodes on your list however, I agree!!
Maude was a tad more ascerbic. She was more political and angry. Dorothy seemed like a mellowed out Maude!
Still, Bea Arthur maintained the same razor sharp comedy timing with Dorothy.
From what I have read, John Jr. was rehearsed to do that. I am sure it was Jackie's idea that he was prepared to salute the casket. After all, he was only three years old. What child that age would do something like that spontaneously? And at the exact moment the carriage passed by with his father's casket.
David Hewlett is about fourteen years older than Jewel Staite. That's not exactly the greatest on screen age difference between actors.
I was surprised when thee writers put the them together as a couple. I always thought Rodney would get together with Katie, the redheaded botanist.
But I later thought that Rodney and Jennifer had a lot of chemistry.
She may run. But I just can't believe that all of her million dollar donors would back a losing horse again, or in her case, a real NAG! LOL
Actually 'the monster" in those movies never seems to die. Did Jason? Did Michael Myers? Did Freddy Krueger? They just seem to go on and on and on...
Oh yes that is a definite top ten episode!
I first saw the remake in the eighties when they remade the show. In that one the prisoner was a female played by Season Hubley. What a nasty piece of work she was!
A few years ago I bought some DVDs of the orignal show and that was one of the episodes. Naturally in the early sixties the main character was a man. This time he was played by Edd Byrnes. Both versions are great! Defintely one to watch.
From what I've read, Ishtar was a bomb that even its stars, Dustin Huffman and Warren Beatty don't like to talk about, but I thought it was hilarious! So did my cousin. She rented it and told me about it.
I didn't watch the video, but I think I get the gist of it. Is there some reason that minor celebrities must air their very OLD dirty laundry in public? Oh yeah, to garner publicity because they have NO careers!
Sulu was one of my favorite characters on Star Trek. I thought he was so cool. Sadly his portrayer is a whiny asshat who complains about Japanese internment camps, his bad treatment at the hands of Mr. William Shatner, his fear of Pres. Trump (even though he was able to "marry" his boyfriend) and all the multitude of "wrongs" which he has suffered in this life. I wish Mr. Takei well, just also wish he'd shut the #### up already!!
Today, a few hours ago, just finally ordered season five of The Dick van Dyke Show to complete the series. Love that show!
C.K. Dexterhaven- I bought 'His Girl Friday' a long time ago. Great film, so witty with such sparkling dialogue that you just don't get in today's movies.
Freezing or burning? Yikes! lol But I would probably take freezing. I have heard that after a certain point, you just feel warm and go to "sleep". Not looking forward to either.
With The Midnight Sun, either way Norma could have dreamed the whole thing. Maybe she had malaria. Isn't it true that malaria causes alternate fever and chills?
My initial argument was just that moving closer to the Sun would not mean that North America would be in constant daylight unless the Earth stopped revolving. Maybe Norma was just not clear about science. LOL
The science was just very iffy in these episodes, like in Third from the Sun. Earth is many lightyears from any other planets in the galaxy. Hard to believe those people could make a trip so fast. It would take a lifetime. Of course this was before even a show like Lost in Space. So it's doubtful the viewing audience would be aware or even care about those facts.
That episode had a great WTF at the end. They weren't leaving Earth but heading for it. Still, it would've been a much LONGER trip!
