Saint:

That is one of the best lines of all time. Snatch is packed with excellent dialog.

"We're going to need a bigger boat" - Jaws.

"Here's to swimmin' with bow-legged women" - Quint as he raises a toast in Jaws. During that scene when they are drinking and comparing scars in the boat Robert Shaw was actually quite drunk - no wonder it's such a convincing scene.

From Snatch:

Doug: "We have beaches in England".

Avi: "Who the fuck wants to see them?"

and:

Bricktop: "What do you mean you've lost him? He's not a set of fuckin car keys, is he?"

Drink Driving

by Simon in

with the christmas almost upon us i would like to share a personal experience with you about drinking and driving.. as you may know the local police are having a serious go at drink drivers this year... well, a couple of days ago i was out for an evening with friends and had a small number of drinks before dinner, followed by some rather nice red wine.

feeling jolly i still had the sense to know that i may be very slightly over the limit.. that's when i did something that i've never done before - i took a taxi home.. sure enough on the way home there was a police road check, but since it was a taxi they waved it past.

i arrived home safely without incident.. this was a real surprise as i had never driven a taxi before, i don't know where i got it and now that it's in my garage i don't know what to do with it.. any ideas?.

Drunk driving is a subject which leaves a very bitter taste in my mouth.

In 1989 my fiance was headed to my house with two of her friends four days before our wedding was to take place. She was driving her VW Golf convertable when a drunk driver strayed into her oncoming lane and killed all three of them. As is often the case, the drunk driver survived but with serious injury. His sentence? Five years in jail and a further fifteen years suspended sentence! I cannot tell you the self control it took not to murder him. Had it not been for the military and great support, in all likelihood I would have been in prison mys lf for murder.

People can laugh off the seriousness of drunk driving all they like but it is IMO one of the most selfish and careless crimes there are. If I see you are drunk and about to drive, no matter how big or badass you think you are I will do my best to stop you while I have cops on the way. I have already been in serious confrontations which have cost me "friendships".

To all those who think you're smarter than cops and are somehow above the influence of alcohol while behind the wheel, I say "fuck you, you peice of dispicable shit". I hope everytime you contemplate driving after a few there is someone like me nearby who isn't scared to stop you from potentially taking the lives of innocents.

This is the season when drunk driving skyrockets so please people, do humanity a favor, if you see someone about to drive drunk, don't think it's not your problem. One of your loved ones may be sharing the road with that person that very day - then it will be your problem.

Their intolerance goes to the extreme of hysterical paranoia - Tight Pants Tony anyone?

Punk:

Don't let the depression get the best of you please my friend. Why not take a break from life and treat yourself to an away vacation if you can? I wish you were here brother, the wife and I would happily spoil you rotten ....

Tanzania News Update

by mana11 in

i wanted to share with you some feed back from this region.

since you could say tanzania and other regions within africa are the last hard to reach places on the earth.

it is where the www preaching work funds are directed, as being justified to get your donations.there are now no longer any foreigners at the branch within tanzania, they all were told to go.

SecretSlaveClass

Good riddance. Poor third world countries don't need the fat tick feeding off the pittance they make breaking their backs every day. Not to mention that Africa has suffered enough ruin from Christianity and Islam. If anything Christianity should be making reparations for all the damage it has caused Africa ....

Basic Principles for Forum Moderation

by Simon in

a perennial issue for any online forum is moderation and applying rules.

we have a set of community guidelines and posting guidelines that are intended to make clear what is and isn't acceptable but this tends to focus on the obvious standards of behavior for, well, obvious reasons.

it's easy to talk about people being aggressive or insulting etc... as those are common and clearly unwanted behaviors and the typical issue for online communities - the most likely things to come up.. does this mean that everything *not* on the list is allowed?

SecretSlaveClass

You're doing a great job IMO. This forum is so much more than just a place for ex-Dubs. The subject matter is incredibly diverse and always has topics of interest for me and I have certainly learned a lot here and am very grateful. Thank you and the mods for their selfless commitment to keeping this forum as enjoyable and informative as it is.

Are Magicians Spawns of Satan the Devil?

by Cold Steel in

i was perusing the internet not long ago and came upon this series of videos by a guy calling himself xendrius.

it declares that many of today's best magicians are in league with the devil.

his claims are based on his observation that the tricks would be impossible to do unless the magicians had made unholy pacts with the devil.. so what's the take of the wtbts?

SecretSlaveClass

Nothing new. Humans have always written off things they are unable to understand to superstition. In Africa witch doctors weild tremendous psychological power over people because their ignorance breeds superstition.
