The Best Movie Scene in Human History
I wanted to post this movie scene from American Beauty. It is my favorite scene in my favorite movie. If you have not seen it yet, it is must viewing.

Polanski’s real crime, as I shall explain, is not rape, but contempt for The Law. In the government’s zeal to keep this case open after more than 30 years, everyone involved except the presiding judge, now dead, has been adversely affected, and virtually all of them wish for it to end.
There are people that will react to this with outrage and indignation. “How could you?” they will demand, “How could you let someone walk when the evidence shows you that they have committed something as heinous as rape?!”
And the same people, after reading account after account of innocent men being imprisoned, raped, tortured; destroyed, on lies, will reveal the utter depravity of their indifference by refusing to face what is happening or acknowledge that it even matters.
Apparently, Sam Harris is “feared by the pious” and “adored by secularists.” Ooooo. As a former pious individual, I’m so, so scared. I occasionally defend the pious in spite of my current lack of faith. I can’t ever imagine that I’ll defend Mr. Harris. Mr. Harris is a scientist. Guess what? So am I. What …
We will never know, Sergeant Eld, just how many men are languishing in prisons right now because a woman had consensual sex with them and later regretted it, or because, as we saw in the Hofstra case, a woman wanted to cover herself with her boyfriend- and because those types of claims are often treated by police as factual with no evidence. It is, just as the story said, an epidemic problem, and clearly not just with the women making the allegations.
But we damned well better be willing to take a look at the real problems of women as well. I have never made it a secret that I am no fan of what western women have become, but despite the television induced hysterical reaction of the occasional nitwit that wanders in here, it genuinely matters to me that they don’t come to harm.
Wait just a damned minute. The idea that sex is something that happens just by the “cooperation” of the woman rules out the idea that mutually consensual sex ever happens in the first place. Two people don’t find themselves attracted to each other and just decide to have sex? The man decides, and the woman only cooperates with him?
Let’s see. A bunch of drug crazed horny black men and a growing number of loose white women with no qualms about crossing racial boundaries?
Yeah, man, it was time for war, alright; time to break out some fucking law and order.
It is always a tendency in MRM forums to post stories about the horrendous amount of sexual discrimination in the legal system, both for women and against men. I made a pledge to myself that I was not going to fill headlines with this stuff because, one, it’s redundant- anyone who doesn’t know the men …
Perhaps there was a time when the fake power of manhood worked. Hell, it got us to the moon when I was 12 years old. But we live in a different world than when I was 12.
