at last a good idea. I hope this saved a lot of people from being hurt and killed in the violence that would have happened Wednesday. Here's hoping they can continue to THINK a few steps ahead.

Muslim children play beheading game to learn how to behead...

pretty sad.

i guess it's all fun and games for some people.

I agree Radical ISlam can't react well with the west. Wahabbism has spread like wildfire due (IMHO) to a couple of things: one is Isreali expansion (which has a lot of reasons, I am not dumb to that), the next is Saudi arrogance and stupidity in funding these Wahabbi Clerics, and third is the general poverty of most Arabs. Poverty breeds dispair and dispair breeds violence. It's the same in the slumbs of Cairo as it is in the slumbs of Memphis.. Why one of the richest nations in the world like Saudi Arabia should have any poor is beyond me, but then America has its poor also. Jordan is worse, and Iraq is probably going to become the Haiti of Asia.

There are more liberal forms of Islam but they simply are in decline as the world gets more polarized (much as "Liberal" is becoming a dirty word in the West). So anyway we can recognize that the middle east was a polarized powder keg. What happened made it worse and is going to continue the socialize arab kids (and probably american kids) into this neverending war mentality.

No actually I blame Sharon first, then his little monkeys Blair and Bush, and then the parents of these kids. There's two nuclar superpowers in the Middle East who occupy arab territory. One has the initials US and the other shouldn't even exist. When you live in fear, fear of being conquered and having your land taken away, its very easy to hate. There's no Gandhi or HH Dalai Lama for the Middle East (yet, and it may be too late anyway), and more's the pity. But I think our children would do the same, in the same circumstances. The world aint black and white, and its becoming more violent and polarized all the time.

by catchthis in

what was your impression of it?

here was mine: .

I believe in non-violence. That said, if the United States were taken over by a foreign power, I would hope that we would have the courage and guts to fight it out like the resistance in Iraq is doing. I don't think they are heroes, but they are doing what you are SUPPOSED to do when your country is attacked and occupied and under repression.

Selling homes and property - pre-1975

i just had a discussion with a relative who attended the district convention.

he gave me the booklet, "keep on the watch.

" according to him, the speaker who introduced the booklet talked about the people who were stumbled because of the change in understanding regarding "this generation.

they should have sold Mother Earth News as a companion to the Watchtower instead of Asleep! that year.

mmmm.... ground acorns and boiled pinecones, cookin in my tarpaper shack!

oh right, back to topic. I was just a toddler so I don't remember 75, but I do remember, as a kid, that it was talked about by many post defacto. I guess a lot of people got burnt about it, and from what I understood, some never came back. Of course the rest flip-flopped logic and bemoaned the folly of those who left as they couldn't "Wait on Jehovah."

Hey! Did you ever wonder how to use a piece of plastic to cover the mags?

here's a truly weird flash animation demo of "how to use magazine covers".

this is waaaay too bizarre... if anyone is good with shockwave or flash they should do a parody (although the self-parodying nature of this is too much!)..

Hi Lows for the week.

by Lehaa in

ok new idea, was thinking of sharting a hi low post at the end of every week.. the idea came from the move "the story of us" starring bruce willis and michelle pfeiffer.. for all who have not seen the movie, at the end of every day they sit at the dinner table with there kids and all have to tell the rest on the family the high (good thing that happened for the day) and their low ( bad or dissapointing thing that happened for the week).

it can bee as silly or as serious as you want.. just and idea, will trial it for a few weeks and see how it goes.. .

my high: it's now school holidays here, have my kids home for 2 weeks, no more early starts and fighting to get the kids into bed on time.
