In China they get about 25% because China is Communist and takes almost all of the profits for everything. So, genius, what is 25% of 2.6 billion? If you knew anything about movies, you would know this. Also, if you read any other posts besides you're own you would know exactly where I'm getting that 2.6 billion number from.

But please continue with your double standards when it comes to arguing. There is no double standard. If I was *ONLY* relying on his attorney's statements you MIGHT have a point. Here is my post again, for your convenience: Quote Wow. Another case that offers no proof that an innocent man was executed, just allegations. Did you read in the article where one of his own attorneys said he thought the dude was guilty and another one implied it? LOL. I asked for proof that an innocent man had been executed. You offer none. thanks for playing. Notice the first thing I said was that they offered no proof of innocence. And I reread the link that the above post was responding to in order to refamiliarize myself with the case in question. And I remember that case now. But implicit in any discussion of a person being wrongly convicted is the FACT that the state made a persuasive argument to a jury of the convicted's peers that they were guilty. In that post, I was noting that his own attorneys have said they thought he was guilty. What their motivations were for making those statements doesn't really matter to me. They may or may not be biased. Doesn't really matter. The point of that tangent was to discuss whether this guy was wrongly convicted, and everyone involved with the trial seems to think it was a good verdict, other than the convict.

If you knew anything about movies, you would know this. Also, if you read any other posts besides you're own you would know exactly where I'm getting that 2.6 billion number from. If you knew how to read you would've seen this twice now in this thread: Quote China accounted for less than 3% of the global box office for Toy Story 4 which brought in 1.073 billion worldwide (the actual number for the Chinese box office then was 29,103,284). The other countries that declined to show the movie (Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Indonesia, Kuwait, Malaysia, Lebanon and the United Arab Emirates) accounted for less than 2%. So we are talking a number of 53 million dollars worldwide they may have potentially lost out on and that ignores all the other surrounding concepts about the movie that have been covered ad nauseum since the movie's release. Even adding in that 53 million (which is the high end and absolute best case scenario) they still lose somewhere around 55-60 million dollars on the film. So not anything anyone would declare a hit. It would've been the 5th biggest bomb of the year as opposed to the 3rd. I'm sure that would've stopped all narratives. So China accounted for less than 3% of the box office globally for Toy Story 4 which was 29 million,....but now we are talking that all told Disney would've received 25% of 2.6 billion?

Seeing as you have accepted that porn is easily accessible to children outside of school, then it’s not a concern about it being in school.
