one step closer to chaos

I saw this tonight when I was checking my e-mail...absolutely appalling. I mean, I guess I sort of understand that they might be upset that their country is depicted negatively---but really, how can you try and discount history? Although it was a completely blown up and glamorized version of it, it's still essentially true. The Spartan army was outnumbered like crazy and killed thousands and thousands of Persian 'soldiers'. Xerxes' army was an army of conquerers and this battle was the first time they had not been immediately successful.

So why on earth would 70 million people get pissed off at a MOVIE? This just makes me want to throw up. It's like our society has gotten to the point that everyone is just waiting for one more reason to hate one another.

*sigh*

I just have this foreboding feeling sometimes when I look at anything going on in the world...just like sometime in the near future all of the hatred is going to come to a head and things are going to get really, really bad for everybody.

God save our children.
