Among others... Kevin Spacey!
Thoughts?
I don't believe the suicide bit.
"A US study suggests that people with strong religious beliefs appear to want doctors to do everything they can to keep them alive as death approaches. The study, following 345 patients with terminal cancer, found that 'those who regularly prayed were more than three times more likely to receive intensive life-prolonging care than those who relied least on religion.' At first blush, this appears paradoxical; one would think that a strong belief in an afterlife would lead to a more resigned acceptance of death than nonbelievers who view death as the end of existence, the annihilation of consciousness and the self. Perhaps the concept of a Judgment produces death-bed doubts? ('Am I really saved?') Or, given the Judeo-Christian abhorrence of suicide, and the belief that it is God who must ultimately decide when it is 'our time,' is it felt that refusing aggressive life support measures or resuscitation is tantamount to deliberately ending one's life prematurely?"Discuss.

Let the Right One In - Why?
Wednesday, March 25, 2009
So I LOVE this movie. LOVE it. I saw the original screening version months ago. It is really a fantastic movie and the beauty of it (for me anyway) was how it was completely non-americanized. It literally is a film that could not have been made in America or for a general American audience. So I am really upset to find out that the DVD release of the movie in the states has the WRONG translations. They pretty much "dumbed" down the movie. The craziness of what they have done is just absurd and pointless. It doesn't even make sense why it was changed. I am linking an article that discusses it but it is for people who have already seen the movie (don't read it if you haven't seen it and plan to). Hopefully anyone interested in seeing the movie can see the original screening version and not this new released crap that was re-translated.

Bill-O does porn
Well....He tries to anyway. I guess this is why he can't get an actual woman to have sex with him. This and the falafal thing... Watch the video it's worth it.

Bible Condoms?
Saturday, March 21, 2009
PUT A BIBLE OVER YOUR PENIS, SAYS POPE |
Experts said that either the Pope is suggesting the bible is used like a condom, or he doesn't know what a condom is.
Dr Emma Bradford, of Reading University, said: "I guess you would have to rip out a few pages of Leviticus and then somehow fashion them into a condom-like device using lots and lots of masking tape.
"Or you could shred the pages, soak them in water and construct something that looks a bit like a paper maché cigar tube."
Dr Bradford added: "It has to be one of those two because suggesting that the African Aids epidemic can be contained simply by reading the bible would be criminally insane."
Since his inauguration in 2005 the Pope has continued the Church's strong opposition to condoms by calling for abstinence, supervised heavy petting and whacking it repeatedly with a wooden spoon until it goes all soft again.
Meanwhile the Vatican has issued this year's list of approved non-penetrative carnal techniques including pearl necklaces, light genital branding and something called 'Dutch steamboating'.

Someone needs to learn how the recycle bin works.....
MARCH 18--Meet Michelle Owen. Concerned that an ex-boyfriend had used her laptop to search for child pornography, the Indiana woman asked police to search the computer for illegal images, but had her plan backfire when cops discovered two videos of her engaged in illicit acts with a dog. Owen, 24, was charged last week with two felony bestiality counts in connection with the video files, which a detective found in the laptop's "recycle bin."

BOULDER, Colo. -- A 24-year-old ski lift operator who fatally shot the general manager of the Eldora ski area was determined to kill co-workers who weren't Christian, according to court records obtained Thursday. The documents, filed Wednesday in Boulder District Court, said witnesses told authorities that Derik Bonestroo walked into a building at work, fired a gun into the ceiling and said: "If you're not Christian, you're going to die." General manager Brian Mahon was shot and killed at the ski area west of Nederland, Colo., in Boulder County.Witnesses said when Bonestroo asked Mahon's religion, Mahon said "Catholic" and Bonestroo shot him twice: in the chest and head. Mahon is believed to have died instantly. Other employees ran out the back door of the ski employee's meeting area and fled into the woods, describing an additional four to five shots being fired.

A Serious Weedz Debate
"Behind every good man there is a woman, and that woman was Martha Washington, man, and everyday George would come home, she would have a big fat bowl waiting for him, man, when he come in the door, man, she was a hip, hip, hip lady, man."
Last week, San Francisco Assemblyman Tom Ammiano bravely introduced reasoned, serious legislation about confronting, revising, and ultimately turning California’s oppressive marijuana laws to our benefit. In these trying economic times, it just makes sense. That’s why I’m throwing my full support behind Assemblyman Ammiano, and in fact, to honor his brave act, I’m going to take ten massive bong rips before continuing to write this.There. The deed is done.
And before all you conservative naysayers start accusing me of “devilry,” allow me to prove without a doubt that the legalization of marijuana sales will actually decrease crime and overall drug use. This assumption is based on three basic arguments.
1. Legalizing marijuana will put drug cartels out of business
Every year, hundreds of people are maimed and killed and millions of dollars are lost to brutal and organized illegal drug traffickers. By legalizing and intelligently regulating marijuana consumption we can make it so that this doesn’t happen because all those people who did that now have no jobs. Also there will be less people in our jails. My word is it hot here. It’s like the room temperature just jumped 20 degrees. Let’s see, where was I … Ah yes.
2. Legalizing marijuana will put drug cartels out of business
No more laced weed! Poople who sell drugs often put lace in the drugs and that is bad. With legal weed, the government (Uncle Sam) will only put in the best ingredients by hand, and therefore no one will be addicted, except to America, and that is okay. I’m going to take my shirt off now.
4. Did you know Jesus smoked weed? It’s in the Bible.
20. Smoke weed every day, nigga!
Whoopty whoop nigga what?
Dre n’ snoop chronic’ed out
In the ‘llac with doc in the back
Sippin’ ‘gnac, clip in the strap1 Legolizing marijuana will put dog hotels outta bidniss.
Bidniss. Bidniss. BID-niss. bidniss.
Oh my God did it type what I said? This is really weird. Jesus, it’s typing all of this!
Oh, my God, my hands are doing it! This is so weird. It’s like they’re turning my thoughts into written words. They are the vehicle. They are the viaduct. They are the truth and the way. Aaaaaaaaaaaah (angels come down).
This is my hands. Hello. I am hands.
“MY HANDS” are huge.
In the old days, they used “f” for “s.” Okay, that’s
What? POkay, I have to go lie down. /cetner>If anyone has a quesadilla, please leave it in the commentf fection.

Arkansas! They really make this too easy...
Tuesday, March 3, 2009
Behold:
JONESBORO, Ark. (AP) -- When a fisherman reels in a high-caliber catch, should he take up hunting? Two Arkansas fishermen will have to answer that question after one of them hooked a shotgun while angling on a lake in northeast Arkansas.
Devin Sullivan and his stepfather were fishing on Craighead Forest Lake when Sullivan started to reel in what he thought was a turtle, only to find a Remington 870 shotgun snagged on the end of the line.
The two men took the shotgun to a Jonesboro police station, where the gun has been taken as evidence, Detective Sgt. Todd Nelson told Jonesboro television station KAIT. Its serial number will be checked to see if it has been reported stolen or involved in any crimes.
Nelson offered a lighthearted observation, saying it may have been thrown into the lake by "somebody that's mad at a spouse about hunting too much."
First, i'm glad the police in Arkansas take this so seriously. I mean the gun "probably" wasn't used to kill anyone, right? There is always room for police humor in murder cases....
Second, so if it was used for hunting the fishermen are going to take up hunting. If it was used for a murder are they going to take up killing? Logic. Use it.
