    It's a Wonderful Life

    What's up with this?

    It's a story about this George Baily guy who is an irresponsible bankster.

    He loses his depositors money.

    Screams at a senior citizen.

    Gets drunk over his troubles and gets thrown out of a bar.

    Has a DWI accident and flees the scene to avoid paying the consequences.

    Screams at his wife and children in a drunken rage (Child protective services really should investigate)

    Then he pulls off some kinda Ponzi Scheme to fool the auditor.


    But somehow he comes out smelling like a rose WTF. Is this guy made of Teflon? No rehab, no probation, no house arrest, no anger management classes, nothing. What a crock of shit.

    You obviously never actually watched the movie.

    All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.

    Because in 1939 things were a bit different than they are now...

    Not so much. Look at the story line with Potter (the 1%) and the Baileys part of the 99%. Gas was cheaper, though.

    I was referring to all the "programs" available for poor Mr. Bailey after he went on his rampage...

    But what you mentioned, yep.

    Joe, you disappoint me.

    You'll find the crew here on the island a lot more tolerant about many things than... other places have been. That said, if you continue to troll, well, the inevitable will happen.
