Genre Mix

so I watched two movies of totally random genres today. (thanks, Netflix). Jesus Camp and He's Just Not That Into You. 


re: Jesus Camp
I think the exploitation of a child's mind (especially/specifically) for religious empowerment should be illegal. it should be classified as a form of abuse. I guess it could technically fall under mental, maybe even emotional. in any words, it should be a punishable offense. AND: Religion and Politics shouldn't be intertwined.

re: He's Just Not That Into You
I've read the book and seen the movie. I am enlightened. why do women need to read a book or watch a movie to see what should be obvious? I am guilty.
