Guest Posted September 19, 2013 Posted September 19, 2013 Jesus fucking Christ is there anything people on GDC won't be fucking stupid about. If you seriously have an issue with two consenting adults being in a relationship based upon age, you're an idiot. You'd be called out as a racist if it was an issue of race, or a bigot if homosexuality were the issue, and rightly so. Why is age any different? It's just another random factor that has absolutely zero effect on the most important part of the relationship: love. Piss off, grow up, open your mind, and move on from this.
James a Green Day Fan Posted September 19, 2013 Posted September 19, 2013 I wonder if anyone on this site can comment on a news article without complaining...
Guest Posted September 19, 2013 Posted September 19, 2013 I wonder if anyone on this site can comment on a news article without complaining... GDCers would complain about anything, even if it was an announcement about "FREE SEX AND PIZZA FOR EVERYONE" "Oh I'm a vegan I can't eat pizza" "Ugh, sex is so much effort" "Typical government, giving us nice things and DISTRACTING US FROM THE REAL ISSUES" Can't win on here.
Annie, get your gun Posted September 19, 2013 Posted September 19, 2013 All I hope is that, they don't kill him this time (Sounds funny, but I'm actually fucking serious about it. Stop giving Billie shitty roles of dead people!) Jesus fucking Christ is there anything people on GDC won't be fucking stupid about.

MaraGreenDay Posted September 20, 2013 Posted September 20, 2013 So it's true, he's gonna be in Anchorman?!! I never saw that movie "Riding In Cars With Boys", can anyone tell me what is about?
GDM Posted September 20, 2013 Posted September 20, 2013 So it's true, he's gonna be in Anchorman?!! I never saw that movie "Riding In Cars With Boys", can anyone tell me what is about? They got the title wrong. It's "Riding in Vans with Boys." Riding in Cars with Boys is a Drew Barrymore movie. "The Pop Disaster Tour of 2002 featured a handful of punk bands. One of the lesser-known bands on the bill, Kut U Up, recorded the goings on and put together this documentary based on that footage. The movie contains performances by Green Day, Jimmy Eat World, and Blink 182, and features lots of unruly backstage behavior. ~ Perry Seibert, Rovi" Part 1 of 3:

solongfromthestars Posted September 20, 2013 Posted September 20, 2013 Ageism has always been a thing, it isn't new. I seriously don't get why people are even complaining about this and why it's so hard to understand the similarity between "eww age difference" and "homosexuality is disgusting". Don't say you believe in equality if you're only prepared to tolerate certain minorities. I hope for your sakes that I never meet any of you at a gig because you'd have a heart attack if you saw me and my fiance. Would you be saying that if she was 14 and Billie was 28?Uh that's not even a logical comparison since that would be illegal, the girl would be underage. Big difference. There's 22 years between me and my partner but our relationship functions just fine, if not better than many with no age difference, so yeah I doubt I'll be freaking out any time soon. Jesus fucking Christ is there anything people on GDC won't be fucking stupid about. If you seriously have an issue with two consenting adults being in a relationship based upon age, you're an idiot.

Yojimbo Posted September 20, 2013 Posted September 20, 2013 I don't remember there being this much debate when he climbed on top of a girl (who I'm pretty sure was a lot younger than him) during the 'Oh Love' video.

Don't say you believe in equality if you're only prepared to tolerate certain minorities.Ok ageism and gay people have nothing at all in common I've never seen an idiotic comparison... (which I've seen past posts and I know you aren't) Noone on ageism has ever been stoned to death or killed cause of age (no headline has ever read "couple killed because of ageism)... ageism has NEVER had NO rights at all taken from them (unless you're a gay old/young couple) "Ageism" is not a minority its a complete bullshit word its is NO WHERE near the same as gay people has endured or racism
solongfromthestars Posted September 20, 2013 Posted September 20, 2013 That's not what anyone said. I compared it to a homophobic comment itself, never said they've endured what gays or racism victims have. It still doesn't make it acceptable. You can't just say "everything that isn't as serious as racism and homophobia is trivial". Edit: actually as my friend just rightly pointed out, many people were killed throughout history because of age, when they were too old to work. A more modern example, my partner was assaulted in broad daylight, threatened and attempted suicide after related insults because of our relationship. People regularly lose or are denied jobs because of age. So I'm pretty sure that ageism is a serious enough issue, actually - very different but still serious. Also wow a stranger on a forum has no right to assume mine or my partner's sexuality, neither of us are heterosexual.

Ageism is such a b.s. term And I date older women so I'm not against age differences but "ageism" is a joke of a word (tho I'll say imo just cause that's my opinion doesn't make it as fact)
Guest Posted September 20, 2013 Posted September 20, 2013 did my offhand comment really start 2 or 3 pages of bullshit? my god, people. calm the fuck down.
burnout_blast Posted September 20, 2013 Posted September 20, 2013 I am in a homosexual relationship and dont have a problem with people saying ageism. If someone is being a bell end about age difference then what else are you gunna call it. But what the fuck does this have to do with BJ filming and why does anybody care about how old he is...he is only ACTING which isn't real if you havent noticed...
solongfromthestars Posted September 20, 2013 Posted September 20, 2013 did my offhand comment really start 2 or 3 pages of bullshit? my god, people. calm the fuck down. No, there were several offensive comments before and after yours which is what started all the bullshit. People have a right to react like that too, if others don't want that to happen then they should think before they speak (not directing this at you but people in general). But yeah it has nothing to do with this thread and should never have been brought up in the first place.

Ross_19 Posted September 20, 2013 Posted September 20, 2013 Like Sunday, Like Rain. I really want to watch this film now!

desertrose Posted September 20, 2013 Author Posted September 20, 2013 Sabrina Machado it was awesome! I accidentally got Billy Joe's sides with notes put inside my book haha his fans will die and Leighton is sooo sweet
Annie, get your gun Posted September 20, 2013 Posted September 20, 2013 Sabrina Machado it was awesome! I accidentally got Billy Joe's sides with notes put inside my book haha his fans will die and Leighton is sooo sweet I don't quite understand this message... We'll die of what? (envy??? Yes. But that's not a cool thing to say ) I didn't watch Gossip Girl 'cause when I tried I couldn't stand how mean and deadly serious they all were there. But I know the girl that'll play Billie's girlfriend from the movie Drive Thru and that one where she's obsessed over another girl from her school- I can't remember the title. I personally didn't like her acting, but you never know! As long as she doesn't play a bitchy girlfriend I guess it will be ok
Hermione Posted September 20, 2013 Posted September 20, 2013 I don't quite understand this message... We'll die of what? (envy??? Yes. But that's not a cool thing to say ) It's not meant in a nasty way, it's just an expression that means they'd be excited and envious (but not envious in a serious/nasty way, in a lighthearted way). Like if my friend was a massive Brad Pitt fan and I met him I might say "My friend's going to die when she hears that I met Brad Pitt", and then when I saw her I'd say "You're going to die when I tell you who I met today...", and nothing mean would be meant by it.

Ok I know she meant no harm--- I was just trying not to feel envious They should share more behind the scenes pictures so we can feel a little bit more happy
