Wilson looks like he's 40 or something. I thought he was much younger. Seems so boyish in his movies.

Phew! Scared me there for a second. Tpia, who aren't natural blondes in the list? Mattew?Wilson? shocked The real blondes prefer dark tresses. Eva Green is blonde, but dyes her hair black.
Christianity EtcRe: Who Says Tithing Is Not New Testamental? by MadMax1(f): 10:52pm On Aug 15, 2009
@chuckwudi44
You make tons of sense. But it's hard for people to let go of deeply-held beliefs, however false. Imagine tithing for years and believing the love and grace of God is conditioned on that,and then learning tithing is irrelevant and at no time required for Christians; in most cases, the best-case scenario is, they acknowledge tithing is unChristian, but continue the practice anyway,because they don't want to 'risk' finacial failure. Never mind that some tithe for years with no discernible difference in their finances, and some tithe and have more because they work hard for it, but still ascribe their financial success to tithing. Some of the richest people on earth aren't Christians and don't tithe, and they get wealthier and wealthier. We are called to give to the poor, and to help orphans and widows and others in need of our help. We are not caled to tithe and our finacial prosperity doesn't rest on it. But everyone's entitled to their beliefs and if they want to tithe even when they realise they don't have to, it's their money and their affair.

Non-Jews, Christians or no, were never under the law in the first place. The OT laws are for Jews and is part of their cultural and religious heritage, not to mention one of the foundations of a religion different from Christianity: Judaism. Christ rescued JEWS from the law,because it was to Jews that the laws were given. We're 'gentiles' , partakers of the salvation of Christ. Jewish laws have absolutely nothing to do with us. What Christ preached, and all he stood for, are what is ours. Unless you're a Jew, the OT has very little to do with you, and tithing nothing at all. That's the problem with importing the culture that sprung a religion along with the religion instead of separating the two.

@tpia Those noisy Wayans you're crazy about are better-looking than Pitt, abi? JS, yalk the above-average guy na. I'm curious.
Who's the little boy? What's his pic doing here? He's barely out of his nappies Karma!

If Simon Baker is merely average, who on earth is in the top percentile then? shocked
Spikie, um, er, I'm bonkers over only one blonde: Craig. grin Watanabe,Rickman, Connery, are dark-haired men. What's wrong with blondes? Pitt is blonde, and female creation say with one voice that he is divine.One more beauty unacknowledged in these pages. Smokin hot when he was younger, and still a mighty good looking man:Terrence Howard. Pity he won't be returning in Iron Man 2. Cheadle will be taking over his part.

Max, Vesc and No2 go and report yourselves to Freddy Krueger immediately.

I've long lost touch with Nollywood and its players. I don't know who the dimwit is. But I recognised Edochie, Usifo and Noah.
"Stooooop. Don't do eeeet. It is baaaaad." Man, na die.
TV/MoviesRe: Hollywood: Favourite Movies, Actors and Awards. Tinseltown reviews & Gossip by MadMax1(op): 6:07pm On Aug 12, 2009
Awwww. Well. My tastes have long been established. Movies like onions, each viewing revealing something new; that's what I like. And if it manages to wring me dry, and exhaust me with emotion, like Born on the Fourth of July or The English Patient, so much the greater. I steer clear of Nollywood as a rule, but can anyone seriously tell me they can say Nay to a Nollywood Pocahontas? We' were half-dead with laughter here! So comically horrendous, it's incredible. I expected to see Nollywood surpassing itself in crass,crude unimagination and moronic uninventiness, not to mention its usual ineptitude, and wasn't disappointed at all. Ahhh. Hilarious thing. grin
TV/MoviesRe: Hollywood: Favourite Movies, Actors and Awards. Tinseltown reviews & Gossip by MadMax1(op): 4:15pm On Aug 12, 2009
Can we hear word now? Horror film freaks and junkies and their fixes.  That Orphan had better be good, with all this to-do about it.
Watching the Nollywood production of Pocahontas starring Pete Edochie, and Ramsey Noah as John Smith. Now that is real horror. shocked

I get your point now.
Why was this thread moved? It's about the moral and ethical considerations in the pursuit of designer babies,it's not about the science. It was interesting and belonged in the Religion section.
FamilyRe: Having Serious Problems With My Late Husband's Family. by MadMax1(f): 11:12pm On Aug 11, 2009
Sorry about your loss. PLEASE postpone the trip for now. Their meeting their granddaughter can wait. Afterall,what they're hounding you about is this ridiculous second marriage,not meeting their grandchild. Make your stance known,firmly and politely,and then forever ignore all comments and references to the marriage; don't dignify it anymore by answering it. Go on with your life. When the whole thing has died down, however long it takes,then you might consider a trip.
TravelRe: Yankee (us), Jand (uk) Or Canada (?) by MadMax1(f): 9:44pm On Aug 11, 2009
Don't know about now,but aren't your fees supposed to be paid in part or fully,or you show you've enough to pay tuition for the duration of your studies, before you're issued a student visa? What are you going to do about that? 1.5mil's only about £6000. Canada's a great country, but you're only allowed employment within the campus if you're a full-time student. Maybe things have changed now.

It's no biggie. Afterall there was a time surnames didn't exist and people still got married.Heard of a guy who took his wife's name after marriage, to prove a point, or to be perverse. What's in a name?
HealthRe: Designing Your Baby by MadMax1(f): 9:03pm On Aug 11, 2009
justcool:
Taking sperms that could not swim across the fallopian tube and putting them straight into the cervix or the uterus is like abridging a natural safety barrier. There is a reason why nature makes the path to the uterus(across the falopian tube) arduous and toilsome for the sperm. It is to ensure that only the healthiest sperms succeed in fertilizing an egg. This way, only the heathiest genes are passed on to the offspring.
I don't get it. Is speed the sole indicator of sperm cell health? If the fastest sperm cells are conceived because they're the healthiest, shouldn't that mean everyone naturally conceived is born in perfect health? That's almost everyone on earth. But that isn't the case. Babies, who got to the womb first because they're the fastest, are born with birth defects and serious disease every day. I'm not sure speed has a relationship to sperm cell health. Male sperm cells are faster than female sperm cells, but tire easily. Sometimes they flag on the way, and the slower but more steady female cells overtake it. If the male sperm cell can maintain its speed to the womb, then bingo, you have a boy.
TV/MoviesRe: Hollywood: Favourite Movies, Actors and Awards. Tinseltown reviews & Gossip by MadMax1(op): 4:32pm On Aug 11, 2009
Haven't seen it. Just what I heard about the movie from those who have. A childless couple adopt a creepy older kid and evil abounds, culminating in some surprise ending. Isn't that the plot? No one would say what the surprise was, just that I should go see it myself.
Christianity EtcRe: When Does A Religious Writing Become Scripture by MadMax1(f): 4:20pm On Aug 11, 2009
Regarded as scripture by whom exactly?
Of what good Christian writings do you speak? There are many excellent Christian authors, antiquated and contemporary. I love C.S Lewis, but that doesn't mean his views should become part of Christian canon. Their authors met with the apostles of Christ and learnt from them? Who are they? What did write about? Did they have something to add that the apostles did not, you know, cover? Why do you feel they should be included in scripture? 'Good' in what way?

I didnt really like it oh. cheesy
I was just being pc with my analysis.
The movie was rather predictable- Kevin James was great in Hitch, and I'd expected a mall setting to make for an interesting storyline.
Of course you didn't like it. Those dorky Wayans weren't there. The creatures dont have even a tenth of their older brother's cool.
Lol he was great in Hitch. Almost every scene he was in got a laugh out of me. cheesy

LiteratureRe: Best African Author: Wole Soyinka or Chinua Achebe? by MadMax1(f): 1:52am On Aug 04, 2009
Hai Cyprian Ekwensi! I ate up his books as a kid. Loved[i] Juju Rock [/i] and Jagua Nana.
Soyinka is a terrible novelist. Not in the same league as Achebe. Not even close. His plays are so-so. His real strength and genius is in non-fiction, like The Man Died, one of the greatest books ever written by man. I almost suffocated with pride when I read it. That's what he won the Nobel Prize for.
