Keeping in mind that I was born in 1965, many of my early toys were made of wood. .jpg]


In the 50's most of my toys were plastic.
Cars, farm sets with plastic buildings
and animals, all plastic military sets
with plastic tanks and jeeps and
soldiers. My sister got plastic dolls
and dish sets, plastic doll houses
with plastic furniture. I remember
almost nothing being made of
wood.

Got a big Roy Rogers and Trigger
one Xmas, all hard plastic.

In 1967 plastic was hardly used in
cars. It got so strong by the 80's
it was showing up everywhere in
cars, and appliances. So it was
pretty good advice.
I think the point the movie was trying to make is that it was something people could see developing in the future alright, but it was useless advice for a new graduate. Even if Hoffman's character had indicated he was getting a degree in chemistry, it was stupid. Even if we were supposed to think he was graduating with a pile of cash [we weren't] the advice was incomplete, as I'm sure an inexperienced investor could invest in the wrong companies. Plastics was hardly an area with no competition by that time.

Watching Leaving Neverland on HBO.

Some messed up stuff. Describes (in explicit detail) how Michael Jackson groomed his young victims and his sexual abuse of them.

an insulting comment? Too easy..

Didn't see it. Two of the accusers testified for Michael Jackson at his earlier trial. I'd be curious to know how often that happens. I know victims can be reluctant when still too close to the abuser, but not familiar with any cases where they are safe from an abuser in a courtroom still testify in favor of him.

Now they are against him.
You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really?

Interesting that Oprah believes the 2 accusers and is interviewing them
I haven't even seen the doc and I believe the accusers

I don't doubt it, you believed the
Kavanaugh accusers with zero
evidence..

Were the subjects of the documentary asked why they allegedly lied before to protect MJ and why they flipped? If so, what did they say?
