    A coward speech? Really? That scene would be a coward speech if he were standing behind an army, yes, but he was standing right in the bullies face, not backing down. He would've taken a hit, but he wouldn't have returned it. I think that's actually pretty badass. Being able to defend yourself makes you strong, yes, but personally, I shit my pants when someone doesn't even need to fight and just takes it.

      The Drunken Coward First off, I just have to say how amazing your username is for the context of the video and your comment, I truly laughed hard at the coincidence. While I agree with you somewhat, there's a time and a place for self defense. A punch to the head if given hard enough can kill a person, especially some teenager with the muscle mass of a tic tac. He's a brave little shit, but if that bully hit him one too many times or just didn't stop, even I'd fear for his life. But again, it was pretty badass and courageous that he did that. XD

      The Drunken Coward ... but it _was_ a coward speech because the movie decides not to commit to the message they had presented - hence making his little speech bullshit and clearly just an overconfident bluff for the main character pussing out.

    Honestly the main character "i cant even walk in a hallway" joke could have actually worked had he gone to Australia. Because we drive on the left down here, we also keep to the left while walking and riding escalators etc. I actually collided with some people when I went to California just because its so subtle a change yet so completely engrained in your mind that you don't think to change where you're walking until there's someone practically on top of you.

    Hold up, stop, freeze, flag on the play. His parents somehow couldn't rationalize taking him to Australia for six months on the grounds that he couldn't miss that much school, never mind that schools do exist in Australia, yet decide to dump him in Cincinnati for the same amount of time? If they didn't want to take him that's all they had to say instead of going with such a bullshit and thinly veiled excuse. But no, that'd make too much sense.

    The lore of the Devil's Backbone
    Once there was a hill, in medevil times, or the 50's, same thing to the youth of today. There was a really steep, long hill. They named it the Devil's Backbone because of how unsafe and deadly it was. However, as modernization came, the Devil's Backbone was built over, and DUUUUUUUUUUUDES of all ages where saddened that their favorite suicide hill was ruined. However, legend has it Sir.Skatesalot put his own blueprints in the MAN'S plans, and made the most subtle track inside the city it'self. A map by skaters was made of the full working of the NEW Devil's Backbone. No more was it a really shallow cliff, but a full on deathtrap. Only a total 7 Bros have survived it's clutches, all else died, or committed suicide with a sword over not getting to the end. Truly a hill of legend.
    Or I just made this sh*t up. Either way, it explains SOMETHING.

    • @DreamBelief
      @DreamBelief 4 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      An environment he is more accustomed to? Er no. Australia differs greatly from the US. The difference would be much greater than that between any parts of the US. Not to mention that the school systems are wildly different. As someone who has moved schools repeatedly, including across countries, there is a good reason many families leave kids behind for short term relocations. Your education would be extremely disrupted. You will miss a lot, and struggle with following along in class as they have learned things you haven't. For 6 months that can easily be argued to not be worth it. He is not a very young child. He can handle being with relatives for a bit. It would be a complete waste of the year academically, and take work to get him caught up for the next year (a problem at his stage of schooling), and he would find the culture shock much greater. Many families leave their kids in boarding schools or with relatives in these situations. They are not abandoning them. To suggest so is a slap in the face to them, and those who actually do get abandoned. They make a call that their child will do better this way. There are pros and cons on both sides. They weigh them up and make a decision. I really don't think you have any understanding of the matters that come into play with such relocations.

The Actor was, for once, *actually* only 16 or 17 when it was filmed, so it's fairly safe to say that was his age. He can handle living alone at that point. And then you don't have to send him *anywhere*. It's not like he was shown as too irresponsible for the trust or anything. There was legitimately no reason for him to leave California if they really wanted him to stay in school.

      I went to a high school that was far-left (there were literal american communist party rallies) and that sums up most teenage "pacifists". Bonus point for alot of them claiming they were being persecuted for their beliefs when someone got pissed off at the teenage pacifists or kicked their ass after the pacifist provoked them.

      When I was in school, especially high school, I was bullied mercilessly to the point where sometimes they would start fights with me because they thought I would be an easy punching bag. For better or worse I fought back when I needed to and I also had a habit of getting involved whenever other people got bullied so I can honestly say I was not smart about it like I should've been.
      I've always had a strong sense of justice and still do, so I can't stand to see other people suffer, so I have an instinct of sorts to watch other people's backs, but I don't say that to sound like some kind of badass. I'm just an idiot who doesn't learn in that specific instance. I don't like violence and I prefer to handle things diplomatically, but as I look back on that time of my life I do admit that I got so tired of being treated like crap (due to a disability mind you) that I was on verge of becoming a ticking time bomb and I was always worried that I would just snap and didn't know how I would respond or what I would do.
      Luckily I did find perspective, but the fact that bullies and gossip mongers made my life a living hell to the point where I almost gave into suicidal depression wasn't helped by my anger that I developed. While I never became a bully myself, I didn't realize that I was giving in to what they wanted out of me. I was close to becoming someone I probably would've disliked if I were someone on the outside looking in, and I'm not at all proud of it.
      I've never thought of myself as a pacifist and had no delusions of being one, so I'm glad to say that at least I wasn't quite as bad as this kid. Standing up to bullies is a good thing, being a pacifist can be a good thing too, but not when you aren't one and refuse to recognize it. Let's face it, I was an asshole for a while in response to the bullies who had always victimized me in cruel ways I don't think I will ever forget, even though I long since forgave those that did them to me because teenagers likely don't realize how messed up and scarring things like that can be unless it happens directly to them.
      My point being was that at times I was little better if not no better, but at least I knew it and was able to turn away from a much darker path. This Airborne movie kid (I don't remember the character's name as dumb of me as that may be) is just an antagonistic douche who clearly doesn't realize or doesn't care that he is as much of an ass and a bully as the rest of them, just in a different way. He is the teenage me that I could've been if I stepped that one inch over the edge that I was living on, but he never learned to admit it.
      So while standing up to bullies is a good thing, it shouldn't come at the expense of your own morals that you stand for or your sense of self in regards to compromising who you truly are in a negative sense. Stand up to bullies, but don't become one like this kid or like what I almost did in my teenage years.

If you're studying wombats (by the way, which? There is more than one species. You may as well say you're moving to Canberra to study bears, or are studying wolves) you likely won't be living in a coastal city.

  • @TheBelieveit1

    Here's the thing about Ghandi kid, Ghandi's quotes regarding non-violence were strickly political in meaning. He also said "It is better to be violent, if there is violence in our hearts, than to put on the cloak of nonviolence to cover impotence." He also said "A coward is incapable of exhibiting love; it is the prerogative of the brave."
    You don't have to go out of your way to pick fights, but you have to stand up for yourself. Another bit Ghandi said:
    "Non-violence and cowardice are contradictory terms. Non-violence is the greatest virtue, cowardice the greatest vice. Non-violence springs from love, cowardice from hate. Non-violence always suffers, cowardice would always inflict suffering. Perfect non-violence is the highest bravery. Non-violent conduct is never demoralising, cowardice always is."
    What love is Mitch showing? None. He clearly has great disdain if not hate for those bullies. When he didn't throw that hiss fit at them, he was trying to kiss their asses. He could have just ignored them. He knew that he'd be gone in a short time and if he felt they weren't worth it, he wouldn't have let it get to him, but it did. He didn't lash out physically, not because he's non-violent, but because he's a puss. That's why he tried to also ride on the seams of Ghandi's robe, to make it seem like he's got some virtuous cause when he doesn't.
    Now some may bring up that Ghandi said: "You may never know what results come of your action, but if you do nothing there will be no result." with regard to my suggestion he could have just ignored the bullies. Well here's rule number one with all conflicts; Know your enemy. Bullies want to get a rise out of you, that is why they do what they do. There are only two ways to get rid of them; ignore them or stand up to them. Ignoring them will deny them the satisfaction of watching you squirm and they'll eventually get bored of it and stop. The moment you stop making it fun for them, they'll get tired of it. When you stand up to them, they may submit or back off. Especially when it comes to guys, people respect those with balls. Show no fear, do not attempt to reason with them and show them they should think twice before crossing you again. They'll only start wanting to fight if they think that you are weaker than they and if they have back up. They will not if you can convince them in some way that you are either on the same level as or stronger than they, especially if you get them alone. Do you exactly have to fight them physically? No, but again, you have to make it so they understand that bullying you is not fun because of the repercussions that come with it. You could even get your own back up like an adult. Some would say "Oh so they can taunt you for being a tattle tail and can't fight without help", well if you care about what they say, then you have bigger problems. Seriously, fuck em.
    But again, from Ghandi "Oppose tyranny but never hurt the tyrant." You don't have to physically fight a bully to oppose them. Acting like you're trying to sleep with them is no opposing tyranny, it's laying on your back and begging for more punishment like some middle aged woman with a BDSM fetish after reading 50 Shades of Grey. Seriously, this kid was just ASKING to keep being bullied and mocked. You cannot reason with a bully.
    And. "Where there is only a choice between cowardice and violence, I advice violence." It's just like with Martin Luther King, both he and Ghandi opposed injustice openly even though they never struck back physically or violently. They knew they couldn't regardless because of their opposition. They knew it'd hurt their cause. They didn't try to seduce their opponents.
    In closing I'll leave with this from Ghandi "There was a time when people listened to me because I showed them how to give fight to the British without arms when they had no arms ... but today I am told that my nonviolence can be of no avail against the (Hindu-Muslim riots) and, therefore, people should arm themselves for self-defense."

      An environment he is more accustomed to? Er no. Australia differs greatly from the US. The difference would be much greater than that between any parts of the US. Not to mention that the school systems are wildly different. As someone who has moved schools repeatedly, including across countries, there is a good reason many families leave kids behind for short term relocations. Your education would be extremely disrupted. You will miss a lot, and struggle with following along in class as they have learned things you haven't. For 6 months that can easily be argued to not be worth it. He is not a very young child. He can handle being with relatives for a bit. It would be a complete waste of the year academically, and take work to get him caught up for the next year (a problem at his stage of schooling), and he would find the culture shock much greater. Many families leave their kids in boarding schools or with relatives in these situations. They are not abandoning them. To suggest so is a slap in the face to them, and those who actually do get abandoned. They make a call that their child will do better this way. There are pros and cons on both sides. They weigh them up and make a decision. I really don't think you have any understanding of the matters that come into play with such relocations.
      You also don't know much about scientific researchers in this field. They are not paid much (including those brought in from overseas). Given the years of study it is comparatively extremely poorly paid compared to other jobs with a similar amount of study.

      But by not liking a smug person, doesn't that make them also to some kind of a smug ?? U shouldn't avoid or hate some1 who is smuggish, every1 is how he is, no 1 should be hated or avoded for bein a bit strange of self centered, we can't control that, some1 who is a smug doesn't do that on purpose i think,
      it is just him, PERSONALITY is the key word, so,, i dont think its purpose if it is a personality thing...

    • @Xehanort10
      @Xehanort10 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      No. Not liking smug people doesn't make you smug. No one likes smug people except other smug people. Being full of themselves and thinking they're better than everyone else is not a positive personality trait. Smug people do do it on purpose. They could control it by being more humble and realising that they're not better than everyone else. Smug people should be avoided and hated as a rule as should self centred people who think the world revolves around them. And if his smugness is part of his personality then it is on purpose.

    About the 'puss out' scene, I honestly think that it takes a bigger man to walk away from a fight than engage in one. Walking away from a brawl when someone else tries to instigate one with you, in my eyes, takes a lot more balls than throwing the first punch. You're basically telling the asshole who starts on you that you're not going to sink down to his level and you don't need a punch up to prove that you are better than him. This isn't being a coward, it's being smart. A coward is someone who is so up his own arse that he brags that he can take on anyone in a fight, and when person offers him a chance to prove that, he backs out as quick as possible.

    This happens to be a movie I enjoy (because of the coolness and charm of the main character) that the Nostalgia Critic ripped apart. But I don't think they sent him to Cincinnati to make sure he was in school; they likely sent him there because if they let come to Australia, there'd be nobody to supervise him (since his parents would be too busy with research).
