I'm not following.
How is the DI saying "Private Joker, do you believe in Ronald Regan's policies?" an attempt to elicit conservative religious debate?
I didn't think this had anything to do with religion. But for future reference, is religion off limits in the Comedy Zone?

Ronald Regan's policies? Please connect his policies to this movie. What left wing Professor told you this?
Full Metal Jacket
"A pragmatic U.S. Marine observes the dehumanizing effects the Vietnam War has on his fellow Marine recruits from their brutal basic training to the bloody street fighting set in 1968 Hue, Vietnam."

Let me inform all here.
Jesus was the most radical, liberal, social revolutionary idealist of his day. His good mother, step father and half brother James also quite the social mis-interpreted lot.
Bless them all.
Post away Team Sergeant.....
I've got your back!

It was meant to be any right wing hot topic not just President Regan's ideals.
A different example would be me going on a Dodgers fansite and being asked if I love dodger blue. I express my undying love for the Giants, the forum punches me a couple times, and has me research the winning history of the Dodgers to in theory show me that the Dodgers are the better team. I learn more about the dodgers.
The Drill instructor represents the site, the issue can be anything I don't agree with. PVT Joker eventually learns by teaching PVT Pile.
I am a registered IND and consider myself a moderate.
I had no intention of this being about religion. A wise man once said "if you have to explain your jokes, they suck." I'll be burning my comedian card tonight. But I will retake the course, and get another one.
I apologize to anyone that found my post offensive.

We used to sing the Mickey Mouse Club theme as cadence in HS JROTC because of this movie. In retrospect, it probably made us look like clowns.

It might be that you give the impression that you think you're some kinda' jokester.
You like to get a dig in here and there and then when called on it stand back and say Oh, that's not what I meant, you misunderstand.
You now have the attention of a number of Mods. Any more "cute digs" and you'll find yourself on the outside looking in.

TS--
IMO, your posts in this thread are consistent with prior posts in which you strongly discourage conversations/debate about western religions--especially Christianity. MOO, the wisdom of that approach is self evident.
As for the thread, my thoughts are these.
If someone has to explain his joke, then the joke isn't funny.
There is ample evidence that this type of "joke" would not work and that many members of this BB would find it distasteful. (The search button is our friend.)
The fact that this forum is the comedy zone should not over ride the broader sensibilities of this BB.
My two cents.

How about when you're trying to explain it to a blonde?

Any "right-wing" topic..... you really should stop watching the "saturday night live" show.
Your perspective is askew and you don't even realize it.
The video clip could not depict any hotly debated "left-wing" topic? (or for that matter any "hot" topic?)
I really could care less if you are a card carrying member of the World Socialist Movement and go bowling with george soros every Thursday night. The next time you post you'd better take a minute and answer the 5 w's of why you're posting. What is my point to this post I am making on ProfessionalSoldiers.
In my opinion your post is a clear example of regurgitating "what to think" and not "how to think". Your left-wing professors would be proud.
If you wish to take shots at the right-wing, left-wing, etc. be a man and come straight to the point, but be prepared to defend your point of view.
You now have my full attention and that of a few others.

"strongly discourage conversations/debate about western religions--especially Christianity"
I discourage religious discussion (on this BB) for one simple reason, it's the same as discussing who makes the best beer, it's a matter of personal belief & opinion. I don't care what beer you prefer, drink, enjoy it and keep it to yourself. If you feel the need to discuss your beer preference there are thousands of bulletin boards on the internet that would entertain your thoughts and opinions.
islam is a different story as I and many other believe it's not a religion but in fact a dangerous ideology and consequently worthy of discussion.
