[quote name="Jhoh Creebul, Witch Toucher O_O"]I'M PARAPHRASING [quote cite="<a href="http://www.slate.com/id/2182755/">http://www.slate.com/id/2182755/</a>"]I don't doubt that Sylvester Stallone feels for the people of Burma. Still, setting his film there is a convenient way of allowing us the satisfaction of a righteous victory without finding a way for John Rambo to intervene in Iraq, where (at least for American audiences) the moral math is far harder to do.[/quote] I always thought it was because Rambo movies never took place in current US wars. Here is a funay comment.

And yet, here's Dana, blabbering on about Iraq. And does anyone need to see Rambo to know that the violence in a Rambo film has no meaning whatsoever. And yet, here's Dana, blabbering on about how "the moral meaning of the gore keeps changing."[/quote] [quote cite="<a href="http://fray.slate.com/discuss/forums/thread/753896.aspx?ArticleID=2182755">This one sounds mean, BUT...... BUT DANA STEVENS IS JUST A CUTE GIRL HOW CAN YOU SAY THESE THINGS</a>"]All I see is another gutless critic sheepishly following the agenda established for this week. God forbid one of those critics would have their own, original opinion.[/quote][/quote]
