"there is no spoon.
I have to add another line I just thought of.
Jurassic Park
Ian Malcolm (Jeff Goldblume): "Yeah, but in Disney world, the pirates of the caribbean don't eat the people."
He said this right after John (the old guy who built the park) was trying to figure out went wrong and just compared his park to Disney world. Meanwhile, Ian Malcolm is sitting there almost bleeding to death with a huge gash in his leg.

there is a homeless man (ill call him pete) that stands on a street corner nearby my home.
hes been on this corner since i moved into this neighborhood almost 4 years ago.
a staple to our community really.
Billygoat,
I can see why you would wonder about this homeless guy. I personally don't give any money to beggers. I think most of them are con artists. You have to wonder, if this guy could get up everyday to make it to the same corner, why couldn't he get up each day to make it to a job. I'll tell you why, because it was much easier for him to take handouts instead of actually work for his money. It actually makes me a bit mad when I think about it. I get up and go to work every day and some "bum" on the corner wants me to give him my money! My thoughts: Get a job, anywhere, you can't tell me McDonalds wouldn't hire this guy - they will just about hire anyone.
Just my thoughts,
Isis

Hi Think41self, thanks for the welcome.
Anne of Green Gables is one of my favorites too. Of course, I can't think of any lines from it right now, other than the one you mentioned.
CordeDeVelour, Gattaca was the Best. (I love Jude Law :X )
I just thought of another great line I had to include:
Sean Connery to Harrison Ford in: Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. "We named the dog Indiana."
I always thought that was hysterical!

It is so funny that you would say that. You are correct, it may not be just one "line" but it is a great quote. "American Beauty" is one of my Top 10 Desert Island picks.

Anyways....as to my favorite:
"There is no spoon." The Matrix.
I know the one I hate too - "Here's lookin' at you kid." Casablanca
I understand what he is saying, I just don't like the line. It just doesn't sound right.

4. Gone with the Wind
5. American Beauty
6. V (tv mini-series)
7. Alice in Wonderland
8. Raiders of the Lost Ark

forgive me if any of the following questions are too fundamental, i am curious how the illuminati would respond:.
1. if an individual provides personal dna and finances a personal clone, are both humans legally related?.
2. once cloned, are there any legal entitlements to the clone's wages, profits, inventions, etc?.
U.P.
You said:
"Once cloned, are there any legal entitlements to the clone's wages, profits, inventions, etc?"
I don't base this answer on anything scientific. But I would guess, no. I agree that the clone is no more than a "twin" of the original. That being said, people aren't entitled "legally" to their twin's wages, etc.
So I guess whether you would agree with me or not depends on if you see a clone as another "normal" human with rights like a twin or as a "pet".
Isis
P.S. All interesting questions though. :)
just for fun!!!.
excluding your spouse/significant other and children (they would be with you) who would you like to be stranded on a deserted island with?.
i think billy crystal and robin williams would have to top my list, i think they are 2 of the funniest men out there and i would definitely want to laugh.
;X
Harrison Ford
Definately.

call me a neopositivist, a semi-verificationist or semi-falsificationist, but the claims made by "silentlambs" reminds me of the shakespearean line that was quoted in the creator book published by the wtbts.
that is, the contentions of silentlambs seem like much "sound and fury" that in truth signify nothing.
i am of course referring to the supposed dateline show and the claims made about some members of the gb of jehovah's witnesses.
I just wanted to say thanks to all who wrote the encouraging comments. They do mean alot.
Thanks,

I have read most of the comments in regards to this subject and there is one thing that I feel has been overlooked. It seems to me that everyone is giving accounts of molestation that they have heard from someone else. I am no denying that these are true. In fact, I believe they are all true, that is because it happened to me.
You are looking for first-hand evidence, well here it it. Please bear with me here, this is hard for me to write about so I am not going to go into the "details". I was in a situation when I was about 14. My father, an elder in our congregation at the time, did this to me. I turned to my mother for help. She was beside herself and called our PO. He came to our house and spoke to both me and my father. In the end, no "judical" committee or even "fact-finding" committee was ever formed. The PO came over he looked at my and said "Well, since this is the first time I have been made aware of this, we are all just going to have to learn to "deal" with it. In other words "Too Bad". It didn't matter that it wasn't the first incident with my dad, it only mattered that this was the first time I finally told. As if to say we have to wait until this keeps occuring and you keep telling before the PO or any other brother was going to do anything about it. He looked at me as if I was on trial. He just swept the whole thing under the rug and left it so that I just had to live with it and that was it. My father was not removed and the thing was my father never even denied it to the PO so, it's not like there would have been a problem in removing him.
So you wanted your facts there they are. I thinks it's a damn shame that you are so blinded by loyalty to an organiztion that you would actually ask someone to reveal and relive those horrible personal facts just to prove to you your percentages. I thought long and hard and almost didn't respond your question, because actually its not of your business. But, I just felt it was the sacrifice I would have to make to prove to you to leave it alone. This was not fun and please DO NOT belittle me or my dignity anymore because of your NEED for mathematically statistics.
