None of you people really give a fuck about whether Roman Polanski gets jailed or not or you would have argued for his imprisonment before this. The only people who actually care are people who don't want to see him imprisoned.

just saw this, this really is the dumbest argument, sorry that nobody was making topics about this every day for the last thirty years

Does it count if I listed Roman Polanski's appearance as one of the reasons why I disliked Rush Hour 3?

we know you do

but yeah, I don't see the purpose in having him jailed, or even put to court

The victim herself doesn't want to press charges anymore

so why?

Pretty much every good filmmaker is supporting Roman Polanski man. Who're you going to trust, GW kids?

I love Woody Allen but it's pretty funny that he is on that list since, you know....  :naughty:

just because the victim doesn't care doesn't mean he didn't do it

he did it, then he evaded the law for 30 years, i would consider that grounds to take legal action

The whole problem with this is that they are defending him because he's an INFLUENTIAL FILMMAKER. It shouldn't matter AT ALL who you are unless you are Gandhi or Mother Theresa or something who has given their lives to directly bettering the lives of others. Sorry, but making good movies (or excellent movies or whatever) isn't helping starving kids not die or religious wars from happening. Therefore, it doesn't count against "hey you raped someone and fled the country and have been a fugitive for 30+ years".

He shouldn't above the law because he did something else people respect. He shouldn't be above the law because he's kind of old. He shouldn't be above the law, period, which is what you guys are arguing for, however you want to put it.

That plus the LA judicial system is corrupt, the victim has forgiven him, his family has forgiven him, everyone just wants to move on man.

Art is forever, stories are engraved into the universe. Everything is a story and Polanski has taken advantage of that and despite the fact that hen is not directly helping people, or trying to get rid of AIDS in the world, he is creating a film, a story, something that will live on in our world forever.

Also I like your casual use of "movie" instead of "film" talking like film isn't a legitimate art form.

If he should be allowed to walk away then why shouldn't Richard Goldberg do the same thing?

You are stupid. This isn't an argument about "FILM VS MOVIE". I don't care about that shit! FINE HE MAKES GLORIOUS FILMS. What does this have to do with films being an artform? HE RAPED SOMEONE.

Oh, but the LA judicial system is corrupt because it convicted him of raping a 13 year old who he clearly raped? Good Christ.

Seriously, I didn't understand why so many people made fun of you until you said this:

... as it's one of the dumbest points I have ever heard entered into a discussion.
Maybe not the dumbest, but dumb enough.


edit: ugh man you've won this argument by saying something so stupid that I refuse to continue

um well hey if we knew who they were i bet the police would.

That’s right, you have the young gaming with the old(er), white people gaming with black people, men and women, Asian countries gaming with the EU, North Americans gaming with South Americans. Much like world sporting events like the Wolrd Cup, or the Olympics will bring together different nations in friendly competition, (note the recent Asian Cup; Iraq vs. Saudi Arabia, no violence there) we come together. The differences being, we are not divided by our nationalities and we do it 24-7, and on a personal level.

We are a community without borders and without colours, the spirit and diversity of the gaming community is one that should be looked up to, a spirit and diversity other groups should strive toward.

who gives a shit any retard can make a movie

now if he made some post-rock or something I'd let him get away with anything

or if he made really good QUILTS like if you make a really fucking good quilt that exempts you from crime

Edit: Like I do think he should get away with it but we have to extend this to all art forms to be fair like growing VERY LARGE PUMPKINS should that count??  Like if you win at the world pumpkin competition and you touch many people's lives through pumpkins you can like murder a couple of dudes it's ok
