As a kid I really hated The Maxx for making Mr. Gone a sympathetic character, it turned my stomach that this story had made a violent rapist do a heel turn and become a repentant good guy.
But now I love it. I love the story, of a man who eas genuinely evil, rotten, disgusting, realizing what he did was wrong, and having that realization change him, making him desperate to do good, so he can finally live with himself.
@CentaurBreeder To be serious, nigger slang comes from white "cracker culture", poor whites who the rich whites looked down on for their ways, they were extremely braggadocios, and would physically attack any who questioned or insulted them or their claims. They fought "rough and tumble" style, meaning when crackers fought, ears were getting ripped off, eyes were being gouged, bites would occur, genitals would often be attacked and occasionally would even be ripped off. The poor blacks of the era, looking for belonging, since they were yet barred from high society, saught social mobility through their association with "crackers" or "peckerwoods" (poor whites). They started talking like the crackers, bragging like the crackers, and even fighting like the crackers. This is historical fact not liberal nonsense. Niggers act like niggers do because they adopted cracker culture and never let it go, the afrocentric movement of the 60s-90s seems to me to have been a way for black intellectuals to try and re-identify "blackness", since the "black identity" had become nothing more than a descriptor for black people who had adopted the culture of an other, and not just any other, but the outcasts and lowest social members of an other culture, and thus the "black american culture" was born

I say this as someone whos mannerisms have been completely warped by video. And I can't stop watching more, more movies, more tv shows. Always want more.
I think video may have arrested or retarded our development as a species, everyone takes their cues from video entertainment, and it's all incestuous (references upon references, little originality, and that's just conceptually, there's even less originality if you focus in on the acting.), people learn how to behave not from those around them (including live theater), but from these unchanging, static things. Their movement is illusory, and in this illusion people take on attributes of the illusion. They behave in "generic" ways, because they are all reading from the same script, and are all seeing the same videos, more or less. Want to meet someone unique, meet someone who maybe hasn't seen very many videos. Someone like Grandma, or Grandpa, or a backwoods person. Books are different, because they are a framework the reader can drape their vision of the world upon, the people in the same book will walk and talk differently depending on the readers preconceived notions of how people walk and talk.
