    Did you watch 'The Breakfast Club' when it first came out? How does it hold up now? Should we judge it by today's politically correct standards?

    She should give the money she made on the thing to charity, and assuage her while guilt.

    It was a friggin Hollywood movie with a specific script, not real life. Now we're going to include fiction in the "#MeToo movement"?

    Dunno, The High school I went to was perhaps a bit more modern than the Breakfast Club version, We had a computer Lab and a working communications LASER, I was allowed to play with, it was complicated and not a toy, it was serious very expensive equipment that required teamwork and permissions to operate.
