:thatsright:

All I ever hear from the American left and media is how wonderful Europe is. They never talk about the less flattering stuff; how dependent Europe is on our military protection, broken politics in places like the UK, dumb governing decisions, super high taxes, or how hard their universities are to get through (despite being 'free').


And then add all of the Europeans in the US for the World Cup and loving it here, pretty much saying that everything they’ve been told was wrong.

Who could forget Rick Steeves, who will give you an inside look at why and how European nations are so prosperous while taking care of their citizens! But he's only one, there's also Samantha Brown, Joseph Rosendo, Baratunde Thurston, many different travel guides produced in many different countries. Too poor to travel? With DTV now you can.

PBS Is Good For You!

PBS has the best truthful news from around the world, BBC, DW(Germany), France 24, NHK Newsline(Japanese public broadcaster NHK), and of course DemocracyNOW! with Amy Goodman.
It allows you to get a perspective of what the world sees of us rather than inside the confines of corporate commercial US TV.
It gives you a broader perspective without advertiser interruption.
Need your cooking shows?
PBS has some of the best cooking shows, makes me hungry!
What about dramas?
Great British dramas and mysteries without commercial interruption. (They will let you know who's sponsoring at the beginning and end of each show, but they do not push the 'buy this right now' I see trying to get through my local news).
British dramas? History will show some of Americas best-loved dramas and sitcoms originated in Britain!
My PBS just started a replay of Downton Abbey. I had never seen it. Now I see what everyone was raving about years ago!
Star Wars was produced in Britain! Need I say more??
Music Programming?
Austin City Limits for one, plus a myriad of other music shows like Bluegrass Underground, Song of the Mountains, and others.
Historical Programs?
Are you really sure what's in the Constitution, the Bill of Rights? the Declaration of Independence? The Civil War?
Travel Shows?
Who could forget Rick Steeves, who will give you an inside look at why and how European nations are so prosperous while taking care of their citizens! But he's only one, there's also Samantha Brown, Joseph Rosendo, Baratunde Thurston, many different travel guides produced in many different countries. Too poor to travel? With DTV now you can.
Everybody is so upset with CBS60 minutes.
Have you ever seen FRONTLINE?? Absolutely the best in TV news journalism.
I have weaned myself off commercial TV. You should to, for your sanity.
So cut your cable. Tune in to PBS. You'll save a bunch of money and you too will see why the right is trying to squelch it!
A well informed public is the foundation of a healthy democracy.

Well damn. That poor kid ducked a bullet. With a parent like that they probably wouldn't have anything to look forward to when the estate is settles when the parents pass on.

Estate?
He's going to be damned lucky if mom & dad's bill collectors don't hound him mercilessly once they assume room temperature.

General Discussion / Citizen Vigilante (banned in Germany because it embarrasses the regime)

Action thriller "Citizen Vigilante," starring Armie Hammer, has been banned in Germany for its extreme violence and alleged anti-migrant message, according to director Uwe Boll. The film, billed as a modern-day riff on "Death Wish," is being released in the U.S. on Friday by Quiver.
"The rating system refused to give us a rating [in Germany], so now you can only watch it if you bring in a Blu-ray from Austria or Switzerland," Boll told the Daily Telegraph. "And I think they did that on purpose. It was a deliberate censorship decision. I hired a lawyer to complain about it, but we lost in a six-two vote as I was told that the film was inciting violence against migrants."


"Citizen Vigilante," which begins with a mother being stabbed to death by migrant criminals in front of her son, features Hammer as Sanders, an ordinary man who is enraged by the breakdown of law and order and decides to deliver vigilante justice to criminals and the corrupt officials that protect them. His targets are mostly, but not exclusively, migrants.

"Citizen Vigilante" was inspired by a notorious case in Hamburg in 2016, when a group of teenagers gang-raped a 14-year-old girl and left her for dead, only for the perpetrators to walk free with suspended sentences.

"If you look at what happened in Hamburg, where the rapists walked free without any penalty, the coverage in the media was like 'Oh, the poor perpetrators,'" Boll told the Telegraph. "It's as if we're living in a completely insane and absurd political environment, especially in Europe, where people have completely lost track. There is a huge difference between so-called 'hate speech' and stabbing people in the neck. But facts don't matter anymore."

"It's absurd how I feel politically," Boll added. "Now you're being told that if you're a conservative about anything -- social, sexual, political -- that you're a Nazi. But this is how things stand at the moment. If you question anything -- such as the hundreds of billions being pumped into Ukraine -- then you're either a friend of Putin or a Nazi or both." When the Telegraph asked him if he was a Nazi, Boll laughed before answering: "I am not a Nazi!"

For the record, the producer, Uwe Bolle, is notorious for financing some films so bad they're unintentionally campy.
