My parents and his parents can stay with us in old age as long as they want to. They can live with us if they wish.They can be surounded by grandkids and have their friends visit. I hate the idea of people sending their parents to old people's homes, like they're a nuisance to be conveniently dispatched tither. They're vulnerable when they're old, and they should never be sorry they had you for a child. You're going to be old too, and life has a funny way of coming full circle. But right now both sets of parents aren't old. They're busy hustling. So I don't have to deal with that yet, thank God.

You mentioned that the universe is proof that God exists. Would you elaborate on that? As an aside,what do you think of the UFO sighting/alien abduction phenomena?

Hi sir. I refer to our theological discussions. It wasn't on this thread, though. I told you I would give you a breather, and then resume. I've had to reign in my considerable curiosity about your past life experiences.

I wish they'd incoporate people's choice awards or something where people can do their own ratings rather than those pompous smug 'deep' peeps at the academy.

Here I was think only one person watched that movie ie the producer

Lol! Other people saw it too, and almost died of boredom. Uncharming unfunny movie.

She didn't act the part. An obese women did.

Paltrow acted it. She wore a fat suit.Like Cruise in Tropic Thunder and Travolta in Hairspray,only hers was enormous.

@Vesc
Yeah. Scary Movie rocks. So hopelessly funny. Don't find Sandler funny though.

I can understand your allegiance to the Vatican authority, whatever the pope says is the final authority.

Though I was born and raised in the danged thing, I'm not Catholic. I detest the Vatican and can't stand organised religion.

@M_Nwankwo
I know you know evolution has two definitionsquote)
1. The doctrine that ALL forms of life originated by descent,with gradual or abrupt modifications, from preexisting life forms which themselves trace backward in a continuing series to the most rudimentary organismes.Leap: Man evolved from primordial ooze.

2.The series of changes by which a given type of organism has acquired the physiological and structural characteristics differentiating it from other types. Phylogeny.

You'll find a few people concentrate on the second definition and pretend the first does not exist. The second, which measures biological change in organisms over time, is a SOLID theory. It has absolutely nothing to do with one's faith, any more than the theory of relativity or that plants manufacture chlorophyl or that the earth revolves on its axis. It's the first definition that's the problem,no?

When are we finishing that discussion of ours?

iice:
[color=#9900ff]I don't watch DH.[/color]

Why not? No battle scenes?No dust and glory?

Oh yeah now I remember Ferell in Wedding Crashers.
Shallow Hal I can only vaguely recall. I know Paltrow wore the biggest fat suit on earth. Stranger than Fiction was good, but then Hoffman and Thompson were in it.
Jedi don't even get me started on Kung Fu Hustle. It has to be one of the funniest movies of all time.

Will Ferrell wasn't in Wedding Crashers.I think you mean talkathon Vince Vaugh. Ferell and Nicole Kidman almost bored me to death in Bewitched. She and those irritating breathless coos she makes. She isn't romantic comedy material. She should stick to dark material: Dogville,The Hours,The Others.That's where she shines. But Zoolander was so damned funny even Ferell was almost funny in it.

You don't know Stephen Chow? Run to the nearest video store and hijack a copy of Kung Fu Hustle.  

tpia:
who's abusing Ben Stiller here?  Did you not watch Meet the Parents?

Stiller tries too hard. You know.Like your hubbies the younger Wayan Brothers.  

spikedcylinder:
Its Jack Black I can't stand.

Though he wasn't bad in Kung Fu Panda, he's,yeah, one of those unfunny characters who try too hard. Will Ferrell too. Adam Sandler. Click was so maudlin I gritted my teeth throughout.  But some guys are born funny. Like Stephen Chow.

Apparently. Strange,battle-crazed race. But 300 went a little overboard, no? I haven't seen an entire civilisation look so good since The Ten Commandments. See worn,cruelly-used Israelite 'slaves' with radiant olive complexions and fresh faces.And that 'Joshua'. Ohhhhh. Wouldn't mind being that one's slave.

@max, you watch desperate?

Sure. I find Gabrielle and Carlos Solis irresistible. Don't you?

bawomolo:
Evolution doesn't deal with the origin of life, it deals with how primordial forms of life diverged.

It depends on who's using the term,and in what context.In biology it's merely the changes that take place in the traits of a species over time;which traits are reproduced and which aren't. It's just genes, genetic drift and natural selection. One gets lost in the details, but it merely studies change in a species over extended periods of time.

But it's dishonest to hide behind semantics and simple 'biology textbook' definitions when it's obvious it's gone far beyond that in reality, has counterparts in physics, paleontology,zoology,evolutionary psychology et al, and so deals with the origins of life and the universe.

Ben Stiller was being his usual "unfunny ass who can make Hitler hilarious in comparison"

Sure he makes makes terrible movies baby,but when it's funny,it's really funny.You've seen[i] Zoolander[/i],right?Only funny Stiller movie till Tropic. Tom Cruise going 'No more frequent flyer bitch miles for mah boy!' and shakin' his butt in the end didn't get even the tiniest chuckle out of you?What movies d'you find bloody hilarious then?

[color=#9900ff] Code of honor - sadly people of these days lack that. Nothing like dying in battle. . .you are assured a seat in Valhalla - ok that's norse but same principle. For those of us into comics, it was almost double the pleasure, like watching a comic move in real time. Those hot bods The action and violence [/color]

Plus,it's based on actual events. The Battle of Thermopylae,after which it became supremely cool to say,'I'm Spartan!'
Nothing like dying in battle? You've,er, died in battle before?
'Hot'? Just 'hot'?Is 1000000 degrees just 'hot'?

Misusing the Name of God
Edward Chinn, D.Min.

"Allah Akbar" is a phrase that fundamentalist Islamic terrorists call out while they are committing acts of murder. The phrase means, "God is great." In a similar way, a 27-year old Jewish law student named Yigal Amir assassinated Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin in 1995. Amir said he had "no regrets" and was acting on the "orders of God." Rabbi Joseph Telushkin (The Book of Jewish Values) cites these examples as violations of the third commandment" "Do not [misuse] my Name for evil purposes" (Deuteronomy 5:11, TEV).

I see a similar misuse of God's Name in a series of billboards that supposedly carry "Messages from God." Each statement is signed with the name "God." Three years ago there was such a billboard on the Admiral Wilson Boulevard that had God saying grumpily, "Keep using my Name in vain and I'll make rush hour longer." Another billboard has God saying sarcastically, "Don't make me come down there." I agree with Massimo Pigliucci, columnist for The Daily Beacon (Univ. of Tennessee) who wrote: "To have the gall not only to speak on His behalf, but to actually sign His Name, is as bad as falsifying a signature on a cosmic check drawn at the Bank of Infinite Wisdom" (November 20, 2001).

A Connecticut pastor, Bill Huegel, remembers a television interview with traumatized NYPD firefighters just after the September 11 terrorist bombings. The TV interviewer asked these men what they would like to say to the terrorists. One firefighter replied, "Just don't say that you did this in the name of God. God doesn't do this to people." God's Name stands for His Character, the kind of Person He is. Rabbi Telushkin wrote, "A person who does a murderous or odious act in God's Name alienates people from God . . . God suffers from the acts of those who do evil in His Name." The author of the Fourth Gospel account, writing some sixty years after Jesus' lifetime, puts these words on Jesus' lips: "There will even come a time when anyone who kills you will think he's doing God a favor" (John 16:2, TM).

If Jews and Christians want to love God as their Scriptures say they are to do (Deuteronomy 6:5 and Matthew 22:37), then they should cause God to be loved through the things they do. Jesus of Nazareth stood squarely in his Hebrew tradition when he said, "You should be a light for other people. Live so that they will see the good things you do and will praise your Father in heaven"

Are you sure you have the right pope? One of their endless Vatican councils declared the Catholic pope 'infallible' in the 70s.Prior to that popes were fallible and capable of human mistakes and foibles. After that, nope. I guess someone's going around masquerading as the pope,making him out to be and scandalising the Vatican.

Cruise made me laugh the most. And that office assistant of his brought kissing ass to a whole other level.

Does he return your feelings,this other guy? It must be intoxicating to meet someone you'd had romantic feelings for, your marriage being what it is. But be careful, don't get carried away by exciting new feelings and let yourself be fooled or used. You're not kids in high school anymore.

Your husband's old enough to be your father and had no qualms about taking an unwilling 17-year-old to wife. Did he or your indescribable parents spare your happiness a thought? Seems all they thought about were themselves. Marriage is hard even when you're in love. It's intolerable if you're not. You gave your parents permission to live your life for you when you let them marry you off. What's the worst that could've happened if you'd refused?They would have huffed,puffed,threatened,cajoled,bribed,insulted or 'reasoned' with you.They would've been displeased for a while, and then they'd forget the whole thing. But you were very young and you can't be blamed for giving in to their wishes. They had no right to do that to you.

What you do now is your decision alone to make. Your parents shouldn't have pawned you off on a man when you should've been continuing your education. But that was six years ago, and you're not 17 anymore. Life is just too short, and there are no guarantees. Your life is yours and it's tragic to continue to let other people run it for you. You have to start taking responsiblity for your own life and your own happiness.

The fake trailers at the beginning, and Tom Cruise dancing didn't amuse you?

Hmmm. Insanely busy,since my half holidays are over. Only managed to see Closer again, but I wasn't sorry. Owen and Portman were phenomenal.

Yeye 'eye service' list. What has half the people on that list done for others? Dangote with all his money, No be pesin be Bill Gates and Warren Buffet, what has he done?The makers of that list just want to attract the goodwill of some powerful people. They included a few good names so the thing won't be a total sham. Legend nikan ni. Nonsense.

bawomolo:
how are you sure the fallen Angels are "unregenerately" evil. is this unquenchable hate recorded in the Bible?

You seem terribly concerned that these 'fallen angels' find redemption or something. What's up with that man? Like I said, I'm new at this and still don't get a lot of things. From verses like he's a lion seeking whom to devour,and other stuff about him, you get the impression there is no reconciliation between him and God, though they do converse. That he is unregenerate you get from Revelations, whose heavy imagery and symbolism makes it difficult to read, but one gtes the picture. Satan and his ilk are evil and will continue to be so until the 'end'. Nothing in the Bible suggests otherwise. Nothing in this world,which is his,suggests otherwise.
