hi everyone, long time no post but i wanted your opinion on something please.. well a friend of mine has just got a corn snake.
its a baby but it will grow up to 6ft.
i never considered myself anti-snake because i know people do have phobias on them, but seeing it in action, including the way it eats, has really put me off - not only snakes, but also, the friendship.
Making someone watch snakes eat is not the best of introductions to snake keeping.
I have 4 myself and some are definitely more friendly than others.
Snakes are one of the most primitive animals on earth and while they aren't the most emotional of creatures, it is fun watching their behavior.
i will be coming out to the sierras/reno/lake tahoe this summer from the end of june through mid july.
don't know my exact dates yet- depends on the dates for snowmelt in the high sierra.. anyone up for a meet-up then??
we had such a blast last year .
Hmmmmm.....
......might be fun.
okay, i have to confess, i like star trek.
i like voyager best, of the tv series.. anyway, tonight they had a sneak peek of the new star trek movie and we went.
it was really good!.
I just saw it. Except for a few little plot holes I thought it was great.
all communities have standards.. .
This board doesn't claim to be the only way to everlasting life.
This board doesn't say who you can or cannot associate with.
The WT claims that everyone can get along if they just apply bible principles, whereas in fact, that is a bunch of hogwash.
it tried to be dramatic and different but you just don't know which direction this movie is taking.
i haven't walked out of a film ever, but i just couldn't stand it anymore....the first hour and a half went no-where!
they try to make complex interesting characters but fail completely...anyone else see it?.
The movie was great! As a comic-book movie it wasn't as good as The Dark Knight but few movies are that good.
It followed the book remarkably well, in fact, the ending was cleaned up to be better than the book.
As I was watching it I was wondering if someone who hadn't read the book would be lost. I asked people afterwards, some said yes, some said no.
My one criticism would be that the movie didn't show enough of how early comic-book superheroes were so "truth, justice and the american way" type people. When the book came out, the reading audience knew about this status-quo and Moore didn't really need to delve into that. Few books before Watchmen showed them as having different motives or downright crazy.
What got Alan Moore all jaded about his work being turned into movies was From Hell and The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. He took the money from those and the studios went and bastardized them. He hated the thought of both V for Vendetta and the Watchmen being made into movies based on earlier experiences and his dealings with DC. He really should have no complaint since they both turned out so phemonenally well.
I had a beer.
I really don't like beer but it just happened to be in the fridge and I wanted it gone.
how the hell does this guy get paid to scream about every product he promotes?.
i wouldn't buy a single product he advertises even if i liked it..
I don't know.....
That tweeker guy Vince with the Sham-wow creeps me out a bit more.
whatda ya got to lose?.
.
what statements make you wonder?.
"What would you do for a Klondike bar?"
Whoa....!!!.....The.....colors......
Am....I...on...acid.....?
Cool stuff!
this is from someone that is waiting to join as soon as the site starts taking new registrations.
he has a question for the board.. .
i also see ya posted my letter on the board...is there really a lot waiting to get it 'in'?
I like to take it a step in the opposite direction.
If an all knowing perfect God created everything, did he intentionally manufacture the "flaw" that would have been in Satan? Same with Adam and Eve?
Free will.... blah blah blah.... he made them as they were so the blame falls back on him.
Parents don't know how a child will turn out, but this can't be an excuse for God.
And it takes 6000 years? Really?!?! Millions die every year from famine, disease, etc. and this is better than just killing of 3 beings at that point?
Of course, I view the bible as Jewish mythology and don't believe a word of it.
