I have no desire to do something that can damage brain functions such as concentration or result in lung damage with certain types of weed, so no.

How do you feel about the fact that much of the current generation is blind to the self-righteous, law-breaking hypocrisies of so-called human rights organizations (usually left leaning like BLM or gay rights groups), and often go out of their way to defend said hypocrisy for reasoning no better than "W3ll th3y haD it b4d b4 why 0ppres$ th3m mor3"?

I think the worst aspect of it all is that there's barely any conservative/right-leaning voice on college campuses which allows this bull to run rampant.

It's one of the worst aspects of modern society as not only is it in a vastly increasing number, but the advertising of it in education institutions even from an early age so that they don't know any better and seldom have an opposing voice to shut down such points with objective evidence, two major ones against BLM being that practically all races and cultures have been enslaved at some point in history for even longer than the Africans and out of the 10 million or so brought over through the trans-Atlantic slave trade, only 300,000 were transported to America.

The hypocrisy of right-wing groups being both minimalised and demonised in both the education and entertainment systems is indeed the biggest hypocrisy of it all due to how much both institutes talk about equality and how everyone is entitled to their opinion. 1984 doublethink in the works every day at any place of "learning" (read: social conditioning). :alex2

For the most part, detrimental to the countries part of it as the EU tends to force its globalist immigration and economic policies on those within it and going against them leads to lose-lose situations such as Brexit, with the idea of a nation governing itself being steadily replaced with yes men going along with policies bound to cripple the continent. The main benefit of the EU is resource trade, though when looking at the bigger picture, such a benefit isn't worth the cost.

Which fight was more impressive and more skilled-level to you? (Both are extreme good fights). The first one is divided in two videos.

[mention]ahill1[/mention] Probably Horiguchi VS Nasukawa. Horiguchi had great skill at knowing when to retreat back significantly and when to strike.

[mention]Fantastische Hure[/mention] The Interview has some good scenes. Too bad the typical 2nd act drama forces it to be the same as a lot of other modern comedies.

[mention]PucketLovesMyDong[/mention] Been spent laughing way too hard at this:

[mention]SuperSaiyan2[/mention] MJ was a millionaire, whereas the only millions :p123 see are in his power level lists. 'Nuff said.

Only in art. Other than that, it's the worst.

Part 7 may be what you're thinking of, which is indeed the best. There are several reasons for this. For one, the morality of its cast is easily the most grey of the series. Johnny is a very selfish protagonist with extreme determination in achieving his goal and whilst the deuteragonist Gyro is fairly justified in his goal, both pale in comparison to the main villain Valentine, who was easily the most justified character of all those collecting the Corpse Parts.
All he wanted to do was use Jesus to make America great again. :trump
Along with that, the cast have a lot more genuine development than in previous parts. We slowly see both Johnny and Gyro improve as users of The Spin and Stands, as well as see them grow from student and master into good friends. Diego Brando also makes for a far more developed individual than his original timeline equivalent, with him having more justification in his actions and has to make compromises with his rivals. The female characters are also surprisingly well executed as well, Hot Pants being pretty dynamic and Lucy Steele developing well from a weak willed girl in way over her head to utilising factors in these bizarre situations to her advantage. The minions are also a lot more well characterised than those to frequent most of the series from Part 3 and onward (especially Part 5) by not just feeling like caricatures and having some genuine motivations for their actions.
Moreover, it's not a part with a happy ending. Without spoiling things too much, nobody gets the ideal goal they set out for and what happiness some characters achieve is very fleeting, being easily the most realistic of any of the parts when it comes to what happens when aspiring to achieve a goal.

It also does a good job at keeping things somewhat balanced compared to the previous parts after Part 2. Stands have a lot more requirements to obtain than prior and makes it apparent how well earned they were for their users, unlike previously when even dogs and babies could use them just because. The reliance on the Corpse Parts for them to activate also means characters can potentially lose Stands as well, a concept only slightly explored in Part 6 and never treat as a major part of the power system prior. On top of that, there's a new power system called the Spin, which is basically a far more interesting and inventive version of Hamon that works by using the laws of rotation, which can make it a genuine option against or in combination with certain Stands. Power creep only gets apparent during the D4C Arc, and even the counter to that is far more balanced in its utilisation than any of the previous deus ex machina Stands.

To sum it up, Steel Ball Run basically takes all the things that made JoJo good and minimises the negatives down to a severely low level. The only genuine flaws I find in the part beyond a few cases of wasted potential and D4C being a bit too broken being that several of the fights require a lot of luck to have concluded as they did, though not to the extent it becomes plot armour at least.

I will say that before reading it, or at least before getting too far into it, finishing Part 3 first is required to fully enjoy the last few chapters of Part 7 as much as possible, especially some of the thematic elements of it that make it seem as though the series had come full circle.

Superbad >>> The rest

As for ranking the rest of them, This is the End > Sausage Party > The Interview > Pineapple Express

This is the End is a pretty fun take on the apocalyptic trend going around Hollywood films recently and uses referential humour well with how self-aware it was at various critiques of its actors such as Seth Rogan basically playing the same type of character in every film. Sausage Party would have been at the top of that chain due to its creativity in food puns and theme exploration on aspects such as religion, modern society, but the last 10-15 minutes spit in the face of most of its own themes. The Interview has some good jokes, though outside its setting it's a pretty conventional Seth Rogan comedy. Pineapple Express had some moments I found funny, though it definitely doesn't offer as much to take away from it as the rest.

Did you like Bellamy's speech to Luffy in Mocktown? Although he was a jackass, it seemed pretty realistic.
