I find the movie incredibly fun to watch and think a lot of the jokes were pretty great. GotG is easily my favorite film of the entire MCU franchise, because it's goofy as hell, and knows it's goofy as hell.

The difference is that being a "baby murderer" isn't a bad thing. I'm not even going to bother arguing your facile presuppositions at this point. We get it. You're an anti natalist. Now fuck off.
As I said before, it has nothing to do with anti-natalism.

Just gonna nitpick out of old habits
Where do you draw the line between the different degrees of mental disability to determine Keep/Abort?
We'll go with the hypothetical where you can scan a foetus and determine it's mental state at 18 y/o, what sort of disability makes the difference between aborting it and keeping it? Unfortunately I'll admit that there are certain disabilities that are somewhat predictable in their own right with varying degrees of severity, but I wouldn't necessarily abort someone who was going to have, say, mild autism (If my understanding of it is correct), or ADHD. It's sort of a case-by-case basis, where I would need to be handed a description of whatever mental disability my child had the potential to have. Physical disabilities are different because while that individual has a potential decreased quality of life, it's perfectly possible for a physically handicapped individual to live a rich, fulfilling existence. But if a person were to be guaranteed to have a debilitating mental handicap that necessitated constant care and a guarantee of no success as a functioning human (Contributes nothing, only takes up space and consumes resources), I can't say I would want to have the kid.

I just have very little respect for the position of being pro-life.
I'm pro-choice ultimately. I just think it's not as morally simple as often presented.
I do. I've never really been presented with what I would consider a sturdy counter-argument suggesting the life of a fetus is one worth protecting. Arguments against pro-choice individuals are usually either based on religion (Which I'll immediately dismiss), or tend to loop around without any actual ground to stand on. People usually just say "You're a baby murderer," or throw out some other scary buzzwords to try to make me look like an inhumane psychopath.

is it really the person's fault or society's fault for giving feminine guys shit
That's like asking who's fault it is if people in a gym laugh at someone doing an exercise incorrectly.
For optimum results the person in wrong will change, but at the same time there's no clear-cut rule that says you have to use the dumbbell in a certain way.
I mean, nobody should laugh at someone in the gym who's doing an exercise wrong, they should just tell them "Hey man, you might injure yourself if you keep jumping whenever you reach the top of your squat," so... Yeah, you can certainly do an exercise improperly. I understand what you're saying, but if you say "I'm gonna go do bench press," then use your feet, you're uh, not doing bench press.
The main point being you shouldn't laugh at someone for being ignorant. You should help them.
You can't force someone to use their arms for the bench press. They might want to use the bench press area for whatever exercise they're doing, and if you try to correct them they might become angry at you for butting in where you don't belong.
If someone's safety is at risk because they're doing an exercise improperly, I don't really care if that person interprets what I'm doing as rude. Realistically, there's nothing wrong with observing someone is about to blow their lower back out, and saying "Dude, your form needs some work."

Exactly. This is why its also totally cool to murder abort bed-bound vegetables, retarded people, and certain ethnic groups.
I would be lying if I said I didn't think that sufficiently mentally handicapped people are a burden on society. If there was a way of knowing ahead of time that my child was going to be a husk of a human being that could never amount to anything, I wouldn't hesitate to terminate the pregnancy (Assuming my wife and I were on the same page). The process of raising and caring for not just a child, but a retarded child is more draining than most people are capable of recognizing. It's often romanticized by acting like the process of caring for a severely disabled individual is a symbol of unending love and strength, but it's an unnecessary one; the world would be better off without the mentally disabled. Think of how much that person consumes the lives of the people who have to care for it, namely the family? It's heartbreaking. If a "Bed-bound vegetable" has no chance of recovery, what's the point in keeping them on life support? They're functionally dead. Pull the plug. And your ethnic groups example doesn't even make sense.

A fetus has none of these things You don't think individuality and the potential for all of those things matter?
Well, of course not, you're an anti-natalist. But that's a gulf we won't cross today.
Determining that a fetus lacks any of the qualities that make it deserve human rights has nothing to do with anti-natalism. There is no "Individuality" for a fetus. It doesn't think, feel, or have any of what makes a functioning human actually matter from a moral perspective, which is why it's wrong to aimlessly kill a random person, but not a fetus. You aren't taking anything meaningful away from an unborn child, because they have nothing to begin with. You might say that you're stripping them of an opportunity at life, but what's your cutoff point, if you have an issue with that? At what point along the developmental gradient of a human being do you say "Right here, this point, is where it deserves to live?" A few months into the pregnancy? Conception? The releasing of the sperm cell? The creation of the egg? And why? If you think it's morally wrong to take the opportunity at life away from anything, then you might as well just have as many kids as physically possible to ensure the minimal number of potential humans aren't getting a chance to live. For clarification, I'm not an anti-natalist. I just have very little respect for the position of being pro-life.

my parents had to tell me when I was 10 or 11, they were afraid that I'd end up getting made fun of or something because I still fervently believed in Santa until they told me.
I honestly feel like you wouldn't have reasoned it out until you were like fourteen otherwise, so good on them.

Kits is a Wiccan?
That's neat.
Yeah I even did a spell for Cheat to get a good job, which she did, and Cheat still doesn't believe in magic. Which is fine everyone is entitled to their own beliefs.
Wait you unironically believe in magic?
Apparently so.

Oh you actually practice witchcraft? That's interesting. Of course I'm not looking to get into a disagreement about whether or not it actually did anything

Yeah, for a long time I considered Age of Extinction the worst film I'd ever seen.
Then I saw Human Centipede III.
They made three of those things? One was more than enough...
The plot of the third was that the centipede was developed as a replacement for conventional prison incarceration, so if you went to jail, you'd have your mouth sewed to the anus of some guy in a line of hundreds of criminals. It was the most sickeningly awful film ever made. The main character has fried clitorises imported and eats them on screen, then feeds them to other people. I wanted to die every second of the movie.

Without spoiling anything I have to say that this was absolutely my favorite film of 2016. Better than The Force Awakens, better than Zootopia, better than Civil War, better than anything I've seen this year (In my opinion, of course). The animation absolutely blew me away, I can't imagine what goes on behind the scenes to allow for water to look that realistic. The songs were great, too. Hopefully "How Far I'll Go" will replace "Let it Go" as the main song that kids won't shut up about, I'd take that over any of the songs from Frozen any day.
Ended up seeing it by myself because none of my friends wanted to see it, but I'm definitely glad I went. I can't say that it was the most innovating thing I've ever seen in terms of story or character development, but it's certainly up there with my favorite Disney films right now.

Based on the fact that he keeps accusing non-racists of being creationists, I'm going to safely assume that what's-his-face is just a troll and should probably be removed from the forum.
Because, you know, he's annoying.

Are you actually denying the existence of race? do you think DNA is just a myth?
Neither of those things were insinuated just because I said your post was stupid, and both questions were ridiculous to ask because it's abundantly clear that both race and DNA clearly exist. Don't waste my time by asking questions you clearly know the answer to. Arguing that someone's race is the primary indicator of how much you can socialize, cooperate, and relate to other people is completely false, that's all that I was implying. The fact that two individuals have different skin color speaks nothing about their capacity to be friendly and have a good relationship, that comes down to individualized factors such as upbringing and influences. Your argument that being more genetically close to certain populations automatically makes them more predisposed to share your outlook and interests is fallacious and unsubstantiated. You might find that certain races are more likely to gravitate towards certain types of media such as music, art, or films, but that's entirely due to societal constraints that exist because of the history of those races in western nations (I have a hunch that for black people, it's because African-Americans were enslaved for two-hundred years in the US, and were basically seen as subhuman until about fifty years ago- Hence the racial division that still persists). It has nothing to do with the genetic makeup of a black person versus a white person.

why is it bad for me to love my own people above all else? Because they're not "your people." At all. They just share your skin color--that's it.
The rest of your questions are either too loaded or malformed for me to answer.
But they're genetically closer to me than anyone else, and because of that are naturally predisposed to hold views similar to my own, enjoy things similar to myself, value similar things, and in essence act like an extended family.
How are they not my people? How are they less of my people than other ethnic groups?
Are you actually as stupid as you're making out to be, or is this just a big joke?

Wanna know how to trick your eyes into seeing the world as a blind person? Use an eyepatch, then close your other eye.
The combination will trick your brain into being blind.
Have you tried it though? Does it really work?
I would, but I don't have any eyes
Whoah.
