Let's settle this, once and for all.
Internet debates have raged for too long. It's time to settle the big questions so we can move on.
Click this link — Let's Settle This — and register your opinion on fifteen burning internet issues. You will also see how the votes have gone, so you will finally know, no more doubts about it.
And no, the "Ginger vs. Mary Ann" question is not one of them. We already know that, if you were going to be stranded on a desert island with only one of the two, Mary Ann was always going to be the one.

Yes, I suppose I could agree with you ... but then we'd both be wrong, wouldn't we?

Does anyone else find it scary that 44% believe we are living in a simulation?
I don't know what to think about 59% saying that Die Hard is a Christmas movie.

Of course it is. As that final arbiter of facts, Wikipedia, puts it: often named one of the best Christmas films.

15 questions? Mine had 22. Of which I agreed with 17 of them.

And Donald Trump is often named America's best president . . . but consider, by whom?
For Christianity, by identifying truth with faith, must teach-and, properly understood, does teach-that any interference with the truth is immoral. A Christian with faith has nothing to fear from the facts

My bad. It WAS 22 questions. Living like I do up here in Wisconsin, home of the REAL Holy Land (the Frozen Tundra of Lambeau Field), I'm gonna blame it on a brain freeze.datsunaholic wrote: ↑Thu Jan 13, 2022 8:23 am15 questions? Mine had 22. Of which I agreed with 17 of them.

Yeah where are the other 41%?
Okay... There's all kinds of things wrong with what you just said.

Re: Let's settle this, once and for all.
I was split right down the middle — I agreed with the internet on exactly half (11) of the 22.
One of those I disagreed with is the "Die Hard" question. If "Die Hard" is a Christmas film, then by that standard I guess "Gremlins" and "The Battle of the Bulge" are also Christmas films.
And "The Poseidon Adventure" would have to be considered a New Year's Day film.

And by the way is famously responsible for the creation of the PG-13 rating on account of all the violence that takes place on Christmas Eve.

Re: Let's settle this, once and for all.
I am looking for a frame for my new motivational poster. I shows the classic pic of Washington Crossing the Delaware (which is re-enacted each year an easy 2 hour drive from my home). The caption reads: AMERICANS We will cross a frozen river to kill you. In your sleep. On Christmas day. Really. We already did it.

I thought temple of doom created it and Gremlins was the first to get it. Could be wrong tho.

Re: Let's settle this, once and for all.
I had never thought of Die Hard as a Christmas movie until our kids insisted that it was. Sooo, a year ago at Christmas time we watched it. Sure enough, it's a Christmas movie.
And yes, you too can have a poster depicting Washington crossing the Delaware with a motivational message. https://libertymaniacs.com/products/americans-poster Cool.

Gremlins, Indiana Jones, and I recall one of the Bond movies. (And had it been released a few months later, Ghostbusters would probably have been PG13.)
Re: Let's settle this, once and for all.
That’s right I had forgot. (I had tried to anyway)

This article discusses the role Gremlins and other PG rated but pretty violent films played in the creation of the PG13 rating at Steven Spielberg’s urging:
