Don't leave home without your sword - your intellect.
I think the vocabulary of the average Sun reader is something like 10,000 words.
If I write a crappy comic book, it doesn't cost the budget of an emergent Third World nation. When you've got these kinds of sums involved in creating another two hours of entertainment for Western teenagers, I feel it crosses the line from being merely distasteful to being wrong.

Most of the people who get sent to die in wars are young men who've got a lot of energy and would probably rather, in a better world, be putting that energy into copulation rather than going over there and blowing some other young man's guts out.
Of course, Marxism is an example of what Carl Popper would have called a 'World Three' structure, in that it's got immense power as an idea, but you couldn't actually hold up anything in the world and say: 'this is Marxism'.
Sex is glorious, it's how we all got here, and it's most people's favourite activity.
Text-messaging or The Sun, these are perfect Orwellian ways of limiting the vocabulary and thus limiting the consciousness.
To paint comic books as childish and illiterate is lazy. A lot of comic books are very literate - unlike most films.
To some degree Satanism is purely a kind of disease of Christianity. You've got to really be Christian to believe in Satan.
War is a perversion of sex.
