I took the short test, which has seven questions. Ha, I had no idea I agreed with these parties:
Republican Platform: 1
Democrat Platform: 1
Libertarian Platform: 0
Green Platform: 5
I guess that kind of does make sense since I voted for Ralph Nader who ran for president for the Green Party in 2000. Jeepers I guess I'm a green, lol.
for me it was that god will destroy billions of innocent children simply because their parents weren't jehovah's witnesses.....and you??
?
That the God of love was going to come back to earth and kill all of his children, unless they were baptized JW's in good standing! How insane is that anyway? Do you think the average person has any clue the Witnesses really and truly believe this?
a new version of the classic george romero flick dawn of the dead is debuting in the states tomorrow.
go to: http://www.dawnofthedeadmovie.net/ for the trailers and lots of other content.. is anybody else as excited about this as me?
i luv the romero trilogy and seriously can't wait to see this movie.
I saw the Dawn of the Dead last night and let's just say I wasn't disappointed. In fact, it is in my opinion one of the best films in its genre produced in years.
Parts of the movie are just intentionally gut-busting funny (particulary the Jay Leno scene) and others are semi-scary. The plot pretty much follows that of the original, with a few major exceptions. The T&A quotient is definitely a lot higher in this version. I enjoyed it and will probably see it again . I just can't get enough of those zombies.
There's also a hilarious new version of Distrubs - Get Down With the Sickness.

Heathen, I'm with you on that. The way Resident Evil ended, that movie was just begging for a sequel. BTW the project is currently in post-production, titled Resident Evil: Apocalypse.
Milla Jovovich is returning to the role of Alice and Angela Witt is directing.
There's a trailer on the internet already. I don't know when the release date it.
This like might take you to the trailer: http://imdb.com/title/tt0318627/trailers-screenplay-X22767-10-2
Otherwise, just go to www.imdb.com and look up the new movie title and it's right there. The movie looks awesome. I didn't see a release date, besides sometime in 2004.
this might be worth a watch for us uk ers.
noah's ark will be broadcast in the uk on bbc one on sunday 21 march at 1900 gmt.. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/magazine/3524676.stm.
it's also an interesting read.
Anybody who seriously believes that Noah built an arch big enough to house two or seven of every species of animal (and supply enough food and potable water for all onboard) and then floated around for 40 days while it rained and then another 40 or something till the water subsided, seriously needs to stop taking all the folklore in the bible literally. It's a story! Just like Paul Bunyan and his big Blue Ox, would you believe that one if that was in the bible?
soon the special night will be upon us, when millions of jehovah's witnesses.
will gather together for the sacred purpose of merely passing around the emblems.
of christian salvation and rejecting them.. this event proves to me that anything, no matter how silly, will be treated solemnly.
When I was a good little JW, I always felt the visceral need to partake. Not because I thought I was better than anyone else or because I thought the 144,000 was a set and literaly number but because Jesus said to partake right in Luke 22:19 & 20; Mark 14:22 & 23; and in particular Matthew 26:26-28 where Jesus was explicit in his commandment to followers: "While they were eating, Jesus took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to his disciples, saying, "Take and eat; this is my body." Then he took the cup, gave thanks and offered it to them, saying, "Drink from it, all of you. This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins.""
the big news on tv right now--and it's dark on that side of the world-- is that the afghans have corraled the #2 man right next to osama.
this is a very intelligent egyptian physician who travels with him all the time.
it is not known whether osama is with him or not right at the moment.
I hope this doesn't mean Osama is going to die from his kidney ailment. I for one hope he is caught, tried at the Hague and hung, like the dog he is, all for the public to see.

very interesting.......
I concur. With the exception of the Jewish Priests, the Romans were the only ones depicted as savages in The Passion of The Christ. Now there were some anti-semetic comments made by Pilates' character -- but he probably actually felt that way. (As most Roman Consuls probably felt superior to the people they were sent to control.)
There's one scene in particular in the movie, when Simon of Cyrene is helping Jesus carry his cross and Simon comes to the defense of Jesus, after which a Roman soldier insults Simon by cursing at him that he's a Jew. I found that scene to be the complete opposite of anti-semitism.
I'd encourage everyone to go see this movie, well every adult. I don't think it's fit for kids -- far too violent. I've seen it four times and may see it again. It's simply a heart-wrenching drama -- particularly the scenes with Mary and her suffering at the torture and death of her son.
i am very new to the political process and this year will be the first time i enter a voting booth, but something has been on my mind of late and i hope you all can help me sort it out.. if george bush had been a democrat and from day one of his presidency had done everything exactly as he has done would most of the republicans be supporting the war in iraq?
would most of the democrats still be against the war?.
or would each party fall in line with most republicans against the war and most democrats for the war?.
I too am hoping beyond hope for a Kerry-McCain ticket. That would just be fantastic and would go a long way towards healing a lot of the partisan inflicted wounds in the US.
That being said, I have no party loyalty. I vote for the best person capable of leading, not the person in whatever party I'm registered in.
ahh, spring is in the air!
the newly unveiled grass freed from it's snowy blanket.
the first buds of leaves barely containing their excitement at the beaconing of all the birds of heaven.
L_A_Big_Dawg, having been born and raised in NY I hope you're wrong about Kevin Brown's eventual meltdown under the NYC media pressure. But I know you're right.
Being originally from NY, part of me still wants the Yanks to win. (I think it's genetic). But their hubris sickens me and I just can't bring myself to root for them.
Anyway I'm making my bold divisional predictions for 2004:
NL East: NY Mets (Improved defense and pitching and if Piazza and Floyd are healthy, this team is going to score runs. I can't wait to see how good Kaz Matsui really is and Jose Reyes is the best young positional player in MLB.)
NL Central: Chicago Cubs by about 10 games.
NL West: San Diego Padres (My sleeper team of the season, if Peavy, Eaton and Burroughs set it up, this team is going to rock. Although if Edwin Jackson pitches the way it looks like he can, the Dodgers could be in it, even if they can't score runs.)
NL WildCard: Houston Astros
AL East: Boston Red Sox
AL Central: Kansas City Royals
AL West: Oakland A's
AL WildCard: NY Yankees
Again, my beloved Phils will find a way to blow it: Thome will break a leg on opening day or Millwood and Wolf will both need Tommy John surgery. Pat Burrell will hit .200 again. David Bell will break is arm five minutes before taking the field on opening day. The Phils will curse themselves for letting Travis Chapman walk away. It's inevitable. But you all better watch out for 2005 when Gavin Floyd and Cole Hamels will be in the rotation. The NL is in for some trouble then!
