To: cactoblasta When I watched it in April a group of guys actually walked out after the first 15 minutes. I guess it wasn't their kind of film. It doesn't matter how visceral or simple the message is if people won't pay attention long enough to hear it. This is true, but the same can be said o

To: little-whip I knew this was going to be a minority interest post... but never mind, good comments so far. No one is a terrorist until someone with the power to do so decides he or she is a terrorist - and passes on that definition to the bleating sheep who constitute 'the public'. The liberties of the English (they have no Rights) have been progressively abused by that grinning ape Blair since he came to power. If you follo
To: Fella Trust me - there's no counselling on the planet that can 'help' me because I have no desire to be 'helped'. As for my being a 'wacko'... I agree. And? Sally, who remains a c*nt, doesn't need emotional support. She needs someone to compel her to bow her head to the ground in front of him - after she's been flogged to the point where she can't scream - something that, to judge by the saccharine mush you've so far posted, that
To: cactoblasta these are good points, I appreciate them. I think you're entirely wrong though. The 'simplest mentality' isn't likely to appreciate the movie - Shakespeare is hard enough, but characters who speak in alliterative rhyming couplets don't exactly make for a Fast and the Furious sequel. I think i
To: KFC It's not only those who claim that Jesus isn't coming back who are scoffers. There are also those, like yourself, who make a mockery of his teachings. If I was still a Christian I'd be praying for Christ to take you 'home' as soon as possible, before you further corrupt the teaching with which you were entrusted and deter yet more from accepting the Christian revelation. In the manner that you are deceived, so will you
To: Iconoclast I guess you've never seen a Pink Floyd concert. When I see them flying over Richmond, Virginia, rather on the stage of a concert created by antediluvian hippies, I'll consider Jesus is on his way. Not before.

I've just watched the movie V for Vendetta . Before I say anything concerning the movie I'm going to give you a link to what is perhaps the most sanctimonious, patronising, self-satisfied review in the history of movie reviews. As I read it I doubted I and the reviewer had seen the same movie ( <a href="http://www.ew.com/ew/article/review/movie/0,6115,1173457_
Personally, I'd take a whip to your arse and decorate it with several dozen lashes. After which I'd make use of the ball-gag and cuffs and leave you chained in a corner of the kitchen for a couple of days. However, I'm not exactly your 'normal' male. But the very least I'd do with you is put your whining, self-centred, egotistical backside out of the door while telling you to come back when, and only when, you'd learned to appreciate what you have. In the vernacular of my nativ
All 666 of me are about to place you under a curse for having realised my dreadful plot to conquer the virtual universe... However, the other 999 of me are having second thoughts...
To: KFC The only thing I'm curious about is why you read my blog if this is true? For the same reason people watch train wrecks or gawk at corpses on the freeway. What they see is horrible and revolting but they can't look away. Reading your blog is like looking at some vile microbe th
To: Rightwinger The US, you might as well say, IS Western Civilization. We're rich, free, powerful and happy. Everything Islam hates and resents about the West, we're the pinnacle of it. Our support of Israel is just another excuse for them to hate and kill us. They can make it appear as if we could end the War on Terr
To: Myrrander Horse-fucker! Inviter of spirits! Heresiarch! I've yet to fuck a horse... but I'm perfectly happy with the two other titles you've given me. Incidentally, I didn't know you were a fan of Cartoon Network...
To: KFC You don't mention gratitude. Aren't you grateful that this girl died so that you could have your 'faith' confirmed, and your brat of a boy be brought nearer to your 'Christ' (I see no resemblance between what you profess to worship and the Christ of the Gospels and never have)? Your sanctimonious self-satisfaction continues to revolt me.
At the turn of the first millenium A.D. there was endless speculation that Jesus might be about to come back, just as at the turn of the second millenium. The truth is that at every appearance of some significant natural turning point, and at times of cultural crisis such as the one we are presently living through, the hope and the expectation of Christ's return makes itself felt. Everyone hopes for a Deus ex Machina to save them when they feel powerless to save themselves
To: Adventure-Dude Interesting perspective with intersting icon. The icon is an image of the Baphomet, about the origin and meaning of which there is endless debate. The design of the icon is an exact replica of that found in the work of Eliphas Levi, a pseudonym of Alphonse Louis Constant.
To: UBoB Because this John Stuart Mill guy, this philosopher and political economist who lived like 130 or so years ago says something, that makes it so? No one is arguing that what John Stuart Mill said is somehow a 'law' that can never be changed. What Mill did was to enunciate a philosophical principle - that the good of the many outw
To: MasonM Doctors, all of them, are blood-sucking parsites one step up on the evolutionary ladder from lawyers. They live by profiting from the misery of others, and charge exorbitantly for the privilege of merely walking through their doors. It would do no one any harm (in your sense or any other) for the medical profession in general to suffer a few financial losses.
To: MasonM Dear me, what a hissy fit. No, you didn't specify Muslims. Perhaps you're afraid of a fatwa? But since you said 'someone' without qualification I'm entitled to presume that you include Muslims within the general category of 'someone'. Or are you enough of a racist to deny the humanity of Muslims and so exclude them from your general category, 'someone'? <TABLE cellpadding=8 width="95%" align=center bgColor=#FFF39
Very well written, I felt like I went through it with you, Ditto. Oh Peter I was holding my breath! Ditto. <TABLE cellpadding=8 width=
To: MasonM If someone is determined to exterminate me personally I am not going to try and reason with that person; I am going to do everything in my power to exterminate them or render them unable to exterminate me. How many Muslim extremists have threatened to exterminate you , Mason? I
27. But none of my list of the best 100 made it into Penguin's... Where is The House on the Borderland and The Night Land, for example? Or The Worm Ouroboros? Where is Lovecraft, Clarke-Ashton Smith, and Dunsany? Tsk @ Penguin.
To: MasonM What 'harm' is there in financial loss? No harm to the health of others. No harm to their future prospects in life. No harm to their ability to make good their cash losses in other ways. What exactly is this 'harm' you refer to? If you wish to avoid any suggestion of the socialization of health care through distribution of costs then the solution, as Dr Guy proposes, is to make the individual concerned responsible: <TABLE cellpadding=8 width="95%" align=center bgColo
To: BakerStreet The fact is, though, you blame Israel for being illegitimate when you say you don't care about international law, and you blame them for terrorist attacks when you say you don't care who gets killed. Sighs... It's my own fault for not being able to tolerate such egregious mi
When I was a child I had a blanket bought for me. It was (and is) wonderful. Woven of the softest wool and dyed in big checks formed of red lines - but inside the checks everything was wonderful tones of different colors that blended into each other. I took it with me to college and wanted to bring it with me when I left the UK. No room. So it languishes in storage, back in the UK. I'm sure she'll take hers with her when she goes to college too.
