Reply to I am Legend: Movie Review in Movie Reviews JoeUser Forums

We watched this on On Demand about a year ago. From all I'd heard, I expected it to really rock my world. Needless to say, it didn't. It was okay, and the effects were really great, but I just wasn't impressed. I also wasn't too impressed with "28 Days later", either. Zombie movies are really the only horror movies I enjoy. I love George Romero's "Living Dead" flicks; I even wrote some stories based on their premise. I think Tova7 even read and critiqued one or two. The "Resident Evil

Reply to Thoughts on Gaza in Politics JoeUser Forums

I'm going to address a lot of this later; but I just have a couple questions: which side actually fired the first shot, here? And why? Hamas' actions are based in pure hatred and intolerance, while Israel's are based on self-defense. Is it always wrong to defend yourself against open-faced, unprovoked aggression? Or is aggression permissable only when you're a non-Western(ized) nation?

If you want to extend the timeframe for deaths, make sure you do it for both rather than just one if you're just comparing death figures, unless you want to start comparing how many years of Israelis deaths you have to look at just to achieve a similar number as the amount of palestinian civilians killed within only a few weeks![/quote]--maudlin Well--and this is just an aside--you know, Abraham (a man, of course, whom Jews, Christians and Muslims, all three c

I just noticed that I never followed up on this post; I had 33 people show up, I collected many items for crae packages, and had a great day. I followed this one with other rallies into 2008, but always seemed to pick rainy days for them, so the turnout was never as great.

Adding a thought to my above quote, How does proportionate response end war? What constitutes proportionate response? You kill one, I kill one? Two for two? Three...etc.? No....the rules of are clear, and dictate that you must kill the enemy; I'm sure that's the ideal to which Hamas is clinging, in its declaration to erase Israel. Should Israel allow it, then?

One thing I've often wondered is this: why is there never an outcry until Israel starts shooting back? Unprovoked attacks on Israel are a commonplace event, and Israel will take alot, really. But the world will avert its eyes, whistling and twiddling its thumbs, until the eventual counter-attack opens. That's when they'll angrily hit the streets in Paris, London, NYC, etc., burning Israeli flags and essentially calling for Israel to stop defending itself; to be more t

Y'know, I always thought profiling was a bad thing; liberals sure do hate it, even when it works. Maybe especially then; it often proves their ideological faiths to be misplaced. I've been engaged for some time now, in an ongoing debate in my local paper's Editorial/Opinion pages. For several months, another writer has been blatantly ‘profiling’ me. It’s amusing, really, this tendency liberals have, to assume that every Republican-voting, Limbaugh-listening c
