Article: Brainwashed by religion
Comment: Why are Christians so Pro War?
To believe the Bible is the undisputed word of God is a profound error. Jesus himself did not write a book. While there are many wonderful passages and interesting fables in the Bible, one has to remember that religion is man made. Basically, the Bible was written by alot of Jewish men as a way of controlling man and his woman. It's that simple. Everyone who knows anything about the "spirit" understands that we all came from the same place when we were born and we all return to the same place after we die. EVERYONE. It's that simple. The soul is energy and energy never dies, it just changes form. When somebody says "I am a Christian", what they are really saying is "I am morally superior to you". But to me, what they are saying is they're brainwashed by religion. Nothing new under the sun. Religion has tripped people up for thousands of years and I suspect it will for thousands more. Until a person awakens himself to the basic good inside of him, he's stuck in somebody else's version of what he should be and do. In short, alot of people, not all, but most, who call themselves "born again Christians" are stuck. All they know is what they think they should be. They never really find their own voice. Why? Because of fear. They are afraid to stand alone, when the truth is we are all alone in this life. As Has anyone considered being good just for it's own sake is where it's at? That you don't need religion to do the right thing. Just keeping ones own conscience clear is what feels best, because let's face it, when you do the unethical thing, (even if you get away with it) it's going to have an affect on you whether you realize it or not. Until a person gets beyond this "good vs. evil" concept, his consciousness cannot expand. He's trapped in storyboard thinking.
Article: Highjacked
Comment: Why are Christians so Pro War?
Sincere Christians need to redefine what it means to be a "Christian" Fundamentalist extremists like Jerry Falwell, Pat Robertson and others like them have highjacked the word "Christian" and given it a bad name. Why do you think so many people are "weirded out" by people claiming to be Christians? Today Christianity is almost a separatist word. An organization that claims to include everyone, but in actuality is very discriminating and elitist. And worse, driven by money and shaming people.
Article: mass emails
Comment: I am an idiot
I don't send out mass emails. I always found them impersonal, like the person was too lazy to send it to me directly. Whenever anyone sends me an email that includes ALL of the email addresses in their book, I'm wondering, "what are you thinking?" Now everyone has access to everyone you correspond with. It's also provides people with information to whom you know. Perhaps not such a big deal, but it's still better to send emails individually. Gives it that personal touch and people are more apt to apply if they think it's being sent to them individually. When I open a mass email, I think, "oh I don't need to apply to this". In a way, it reminds me of spam or junk mail.
Article: THE HYPE AND THE FEAR
Comment: Why are Christians so Pro War?
When was the last time Americans had to fight for their freedoms? Not since WW2. The Korea war, the Vietnam war, the Iraq war was somebody else's war that America involved itself in. The Iraq war is the first war that America started. Think about it, how would we feel if there was a modern day civil war here in America were one part of the country was fighting against the other part and then all of a sudden some foreign country invaded America to back up one side against the other. We wouldn't like it, I can tell you that, yet the U.S. military has involved itself in other countries civil wars it had no business being in. Wars that didn't have anything to do with Americas freedom at all. These days I'm more concerned with individuals by and large than I am mankind as a whole. As long as there is religion and the military there will always be war. Why? Because there's so much profit in it for certain parties. The Iraq war? Where's the profit for invading that war that George Bush promised? That war continues to cost America 150 million dollars A DAY! All the while our economy is going down the tubes. No, I don't buy into the hype, nor the fear
Article: COASTING THROUGH LIFE
Comment: Why are Christians so Pro War?
I don't hold all the values as written in the original post. Life is short. It is not until someone dies that one has known and loved for a long time, does one REALLY know what life is about. Until that time, one is coasting through life. Not a bad thing, don't get me wrong. Enjoy it while it lasts, because eventually we all lose people we love to death. I don't think it is good for me to wish death on anyone. I do wish people would have a better understanding of themselves and of their own minds. That they would work on themselves more rather than pointing the finger at somebody else.
Article: LIVING TOGETHER, GROWING TOGETHER
Comment: I’m getting married!!!
My advice. Live with the other person before you ever marry. One of my good long time friends, cinematographer BILL BURTON lived with his wife for 10 years before they married. TEN YEARS! They even bought a house together before they married. On top of that Bill's wife kept her own name. She did not change her last name to Burton. Another nice thing they did was elope rather than have a ceremony. They lived with each other for 10 years and they've been married for the last 20. By contrast, my sister Cathi, married her boyfriend of 7 years and within a year of being married and living together they divorced. My Dad wanted his 30k he spent on the wedding. My sister recently got engaged with a different guy now. Someone she's been living with for almost 4 years. In a relationship/married sex is great and should be kept alive, but it changes after time and what two people are stuck with is each others personality. I tell all my female friends who are dating to make sure the guy has a good relationship with his mother. It's imperative that he has that. If not, they're going to be the recipient of alot of unresolved resentment pointed towards them.
Article: The Cielo Drive house
Comment: DEATH of SHARON TATE 40th ANNIVERSARY
A comment on IMDb concerning the house where the Tate murders occurred. The post read . . . ...but today I watched the episode of Ghost Hunters again, where they visit the neighbor's house on Cielo. I'm just curious as to what everyone's take was on it again--truth or hoax? Personally, I've always thought it to be a hoax, because the guy seemed to be trying for a publicity stunt for a movie he was directing, based on the murders (if that were the case, I think that's extremely disrespectful and tacky). But I have no idea how he could have staged some of those EVP's and other activity. What do you think? My response is: Don't you think after 40 years, Sharon Tate and the others would have something better to do than haunt some old house they died in? The rest of the world may still be haunted by the events that occurred on August 9th, 1969, but trust me, Sharon, Jay and the others would have been bored by it and would have moved on long ago. Those ghost shows are produced for one reason and one reason alone, to stir up ratings by stirring up fear in people who are silly enough to buy into the nonsense. I can tell you first hand that I was in the house on Cielo drive before it was demolished. A shame nobody wanted to buy it, because it was really quite a charming place and believe it or not, it had a good vibe to it. I was surprised. You'd never think what happened in that house ever occurred. I even stood in the same spot where Sharon and Jay died. Nothing, absolutely nothing. No eerie feeling, no sense that anything occurred there. It was a most charming house, never the mansion that was written, but a somewhat small and very quaint house. What shocked me the most was how small the front yard was. Looks so much bigger in pictures. It really wasn't much of a yard at all. The distance between the front door and the embankment leading down the mountain was quite short. It takes a person who isn't spooked easily or one who doesn't carry fear around in them to live in a house where murder occurred. The Cielo house was rented out for many years, but no buyers. People just didn't want to live in a place where anything like that happened. And just think, it all happened in about 25 minutes.
Article: Where are the apostrophe's ???
Comment: Do You Know Who I Am?
The way this is written is very confusing. When you spell "she'll", you need to include an apostrophe between the "she and the "ll". Otherwise it reads SHELL, like a sea shell, very confusing. As for the poem, you only have one cadence over and over and over again, but maybe that's because you were tired when you wrote it. It's definitely a poem of longing and regret. It didn't even sound like it started rhyming until the end, basically because there are no comma's after each line which it SORELY NEEDS. Could be a curiosity piece, but as it's printed now, it reads like one big long run on sentence with no comma's and no periods and no capitol letters telling the reader when to start and stop or pause and begin. The line "finally you realize you're just not getting it what you deserve and what's rightfully yours" ? That sounds like someone who expects everything to happen by magic. Bottom line, In order for the "poem" to make sense it needs apostrophe's, comma's or capital letters in the appropriate places in order to distinguish itself as a poem. As it is now, it reads like one great big long incoherent MISHMASH .
Article: JUNKETS
Comment: Why shut down facebook and steal the election?
Facebook, twittering and the internet have the power to spread information very fast to a large amount of people at one time. This is a threat to someone like Ahmadinejad, who wants to keep his people in the dark so they will buy into the junkets his administration sends out. He denies there was ever a holocaust and he says in his country not one gay person exists among his people. The guy is either terribly delusional or a liar.
Article: All writing is a form of literature . . . lazy ass
Comment: Do You Know Who I Am?
One either wants what they've written to be read correctly or they don't. It's not like you're reciting it in front of a crowd and someone has taken umbrage with the way you're saying it. Get a clue.
Article: not all that interested.
Comment: DAVID LETTERMAN style of INTERVIEWING

Comment: LOST HORIZON (1973) Burt Bacharach classic due for DVD release
by Jeff Young I'm glad to read after all these decades of trashing the 1973 version of LOST HORIZON that people have come on board to defend the movie and express admiration for it. LOST HORIZON got panned badly by the critics back in its day. It even found a place in the books as one of the worst movie remakes in history. I strenuously disagreed then and now. LOST HORIZON was a much better and enjoyable film than the criticism it unfairly garnered. I believed much of the sniping and ridicule came from and comes from people who are cynically uncomfortable with anything that depicts human kindness, decency, compassion, courtesy, ettiquette, and living harmoniously with each other. LOST HORIZON in all its movie incarnations portrayed that message. But there are people who don't and never will buy into the message of harmonious and happy co-existence. Such people believe life has no meaning if there is no cut-throat competition that rewards the winners with fortune, high-living, corporate promotion, the biggest house and car, while leaving the losers in the dust with nothing. Many people still believe happiness in life is equated ONLY with material success and triumph over the less capable. Some people cannot envision life where EVERYONE is happy and materialistic successful. In order to be happy in life there always has to be winners and losers. One example is the grade curve in college where there are high grade scorers and low grade scorers. Competitive students become angered if there is no grade curve to ensure there are losers. Subsequently, LOST HORIZON (1973) was considered sentimental, sappy, wildly unrealistic, a ridiculous fantasy, and an illusion of life in Heaven on Earth. I didn't try to entertain any metaphysical or existential contemplations on LOST HORIZON. I just enjoyed it for the pleasant musical it was and the simple message of humanity at its most capable spiritually. Perhaps the cynics are right. LOST HORIZON requires human evolution to the next spiritual level. Even if this is true, at least LOST HORIZON gives us a strong vision of what it can be. Maybe living in a real Shangrila as portrayed in the movie would drive most of us nuts with boredom after a month. But I loved the message of politeness, friendliness, ettiquette, courtesy, and lack of deceit between human beings. I know there are people who considered this view a sign of weakness and submissiveness. Only the strong and rude prevail. To the strong come the rewards of wealth, women, fame, power, adulation, and vast material rewards. Yet even recent history shows people who've achieved all this are among the most unhappy and live shorter lives. To each his own.
Article: You're joking, right??
Comment: LIST THE FILMS YOU CAN'T STAND OR FIND OVERRATED
HOOK? Hook was embarrassing for all involved. I cringed at the sight of an overweight thinning haired Robin Williams flying around in tights while acting like an arrested developed Peter Pan. The direction was as heavy as the Jolly Green Giants Iron skillet. No nuance or lightness to the fantasy, nor was the heavy strings in the all too familiar sound of John Williams score. Why couldn't Spielberg have just filmed the original J. M. Barrie story and filmed it as written with Peter Pan being A BOY? He might have come away with a classic then. Having that character grow up and rediscover the "boy inside" went against everything Peter Pan was about. Likewise, casting Julia Roberts as a short haired butch Tinker bell failed to enchant or captivate. Moreover, Dustin Hoffman as a short mugging trying too hard Captain Hook was far from whimsical. HOOK was every bit as bad as the bloated live action HOW THE CRINCH STOLE CHRISTMAS. Note to filmmakers. When attempting to film a literary classic, don't mess with the original story. Also, hire actors that are right for the part, not big stars who happen to be your friends.

Comment: Good People 1 Bad Apple and a Donut Eater
Sounds like you were dumping alot of trash in a place where you're not suppose to be dumping. Every city has it's limits. Why would they give you a citation for disorderly conduct for dumping where you're not suppose too? Dumping the trash would be a citation for littering or "dumping" in a place without a permit. Disorderly conduct means you were out of control publicly. You were warned to stop and you didn't stop. Why would they give you a citation if the other (crack head) guy was caught doing it?
Article: ehh right back to ya?
Comment: MICHAEL JACKSON in the LONG RUN
You're in luck. The death of Walter Cronkite has pushed the medias attention away from stories about the death of Michael Jackson and onto a mutual admiration society, if you will, among newsmen and reporters honoring their own in their own profession. But don't worry. As soon as Jackson's autopsy reports are announced, the news media will be all over that like white on rice. So look at what's happening today as a temporary reprieve.
Article: If that were the case . . .
Comment: Good People 1 Bad Apple and a Donut Eater
Then the fine would have been "dumping trash without a permit" or something similar to that. Disorderly Conduct is for being drunk in public, disturbing the peace, or loitering in certain areas. It is also typically classified as a misdemeanor, so if your disorderly conduct citation is classified as a criminal charge than there must be more to this story. What is is? Were you guys defiant and mouthy with Officer Martin and that pissed him off? You'd be surprised how a little courtesy all round helps to smooth out the most complicated problems.

Believe me, if you were serving me lunch, it would be more than stale old sandwiches. Also afterwards, I'd be having a beautiful cake for desert, not your day old bake goods.
