The ghostbusters not only successfully proved the existence of an afterlife, but they captured and contained spiritual apparitions. This brings up serious questions about life, souls, religion, and the paranormal that I feel were not properly addressed in the film. Proof of the afterlife alone would have massive repercussions throughout society. And yet the ghostbusters are advertising on tv and running around with unlicensed nuclear reactors on their backs firing particle beams at specters like glorified exterminators. What would really happen if a ghost was captured and contained? Is it even morally right to do this? Serious academics might want to study these, maybe even communicate with them and find out what happens after death. Me, I would set up a ghost zoo for people to come and see ghosts in a safe environment. Maybe a friendly ghost part for the kids and a scary ghost part with spooky lights and a fog machine, I haven’t thought it all through yet but I’m pretty sure I can make it work.

Do dinosaurs have ghosts? Because it sounds like you're setting yourself up for Ghost Jurassic Park Just imagine that is a ghost in this scene, and it is about to be busted https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F5zboV3_9KY

Call of Duty Ghosts was a pretty poor entry in the franchise but at this point it's not worth discussing the series much.

Every time I walk into a scary basement or a spooky place I say "if there are any ghosts here please haunt this space so I can have proof of an afterlife and maybe give this current existence some objective meaning"

If ghosts come from normal humans, if they have a consciousness and can execute their voluntary will, such as but not limited to spookily opening doors and turning on lights at random, it seems to me they should indeed be considered as living beings and thus deserve rights like any other person. If you don't support ghost rights, what's wrong with you

BrutalistMcDonalds posted:I dunno. Most people already believe in ghosts and angels and there's a statistical certainty that some even believe in leprechauns. But they still get up and go to work, to the gym, the movies etc. and they don't rock the boat too much. You've gotta live your life. Sure, but they believe in unprovable fantasies. The ghosts in the laser containment tank can be studied by scientists and shown on tv. Atheists are going to have a hard time denying that.

The military would obviously want to find a way to weaponize the ghosts. Dropping ghost traps from a plane on an Afghan village, then come in later with proton packs and clean up the attack ghosts and all of the newly created ghosts.

I always wondered, if you want to take a picture of a ghost, should you use flash? Because at least the ghosts in ghost busters make light, wouldn’t they look better sort of posed, but then it’s like not moving around is not they’re nature. Like, would the flash just go right through them? I mean I’d just try it with the flash off I guess if there was some ghosts because light on light would just wash out the photo or whatever. Are there dayghosts?

Mr. Dick suspects Peck was right, that there aren't any ghosts and that the Ghostbusters are inducing mass hallucinations or somesuch other chicanery . Seems pretty convenient that the first verifiable ghost sighting ever in human history also happened to be their first case.

It's actually illegal to die so the Ghostbusters were right to put those ghosts in jail. Furthermore Slimer was a known sexual predator, and the library ghost was caught in the act committing libel. Sadly she was never caught and could continue her crime spree as the police refused to do anything.

If you're pro-Buster, you acknowledge that they perform a vital task for the world, similar to pest control. The Ghostbusters also never "destroy" a ghost, unless its a powerful evil spirit like Gozer or Vigo the Carpathian. Any other spirits are merely "trapped' in the containment unit. The events of the first movie show that those ghosts can be let free at any time, seemingly unharmed (Slimer was having a good time eating those hot dogs and by the 2nd movie was *helping* the Ghostbusters, so it can't be that bad in there). If you're anti-Buster, you most likely fear that the Ghostbusters are trapping "innocent" souls in some kind of nuclear reactor. What if they trap my grandma's ghost? What if they get George Washington's ghost? Here's my opinion - if your grandma has nothing better to do with her afterlife than float around your attic and stomp on some floorboards, she'd probably have fun in the containment unit. At least she's hanging out with other ghosts and socializing. That's not even getting into the idea that the ghosts aren't actually souls, but manifestations of psychic energy we leave behind. In that case? The Ghostbusters are basically just removing psychic stains and should be commended for their efforts.

Nefarious 2.0 posted:SHUT UP Oh yeah I forgot, every time someone talks about the actual science of sublimation people get lovely because of that one stupid rear end dead guy that was way too popular. If it’s the guy I’m thinking about, his chick got paid by cops to look the other way while that guy tried to do a job on someone and failed, and despite his tenacious alliance with the brotherhood he ended up a ghost himself. He is a ghost he can’t hurt you now nefarious don’t be so s-scared.

While starting with a strong theme and question about the metaphysical implications of the movie 'Ghost Busters', you lose focus halfway through your own thoughts and speculate about a ghost zoo. A good idea with poor execution. We expect stronger work at the college level, Mr. Management. C+
