Ok, so it was a really stupid question but really, I came up with it in as much time as it took to type it. ED209 is packing some serious heat, it's got fucking rockets for Christs sake. But can a winner really be picked out of a such a stupid scenerio, no, but it sure can get boring. I thought of atleast 20 more debatable questions, but they all seemed to be Subject A Vs. Subject B and I really want to avoid that. Instead I'll try to stick with a more standard pros vs. cons of a specific topic. A winner will not be chosen, atleast not by me, so that any past debates can be argued. I will continue to argue only for the seemingly unpopular side of any topic. So here's my first topic, I'll post another in 3 days. Don't just state a possition, but offer an arguement or rebutle. Pros vs. Cons.....

The rape scene, and not the camera cutting away and the audience left with the suggestion, but right there on the screen is a man raping a man/woman/child. I've seen atleast 5 movies with such scenes, Irreversable probably being the worst/most memorable for me. With these scenes a director can take us to horrible places, and can effortlessly effect our emotions, while we either turn our heads in disgust or watch unwavering at it's brutal honesty.
