Hello Alley the cat inna de wheeeel
Jai Dee... Beautiful to hear from your heart on these big things. I'm glad that I didn't spend a year watching a girl living in the past.
Politically Incorrect sounds "great". Here in s weeden there is currently very low energy (high potential) on that open source of energy. What was the name of the movie where Jack plays an Officer/General/Captain on an US base on Cuba? The sum of the cardamom.
I saw the smoke on TV here in Gothenburg, from Vatican, the world's smallest and richest state, bordering to Italy (I'm sure you know heard many pregeneration X US-americans pointed on Russia when asked: Where is home? on a blindmap
Anyway one must not nessecary love the pope because he smokes dope:oops: I really wonder about the last preaching before he turned pope. He warned about:
liberalism
marxism
radikal individualism
ateism and
mysticism... .
A belief not following fashion and the latest trends but instead is rooted in the friendship with Christ. Something like that he said. Doesn't it sound to squeeze this rainbow of ideas/energies from above like that?
And what about rubber in the Philipines? The numbers one hear on all kinds documentarys today are CRAZY. For example in Manilla there are thousands of women living on 3x2 meter with up to 10 children... hm...
Couldn't you with your name and connections and ask what he mean?
ONE LOVE

very interesting...
Down South, I think everyone's been doing a great job with stating their opinions and still remain respectful toward others as well. I LOVE THAT!
I went to that URL http://blamebush.typepad.com/blamebush/2005/04/millions_subjec.html
It's a pretty interesting/funny site. Thanks.
On a more serious note.... I just saw the movie, Schinderler's List for the first time. I thought it was a very good, SAD SAD movie. I can't believe that 1 man was capable of such evil and it really didn't happen that LONG ago either. I mean it did....but....NOT REALLY. I remember the next morning when I woke up...I looked around and had this complete sense of being SOOOOOOOO greatful for being free and for having a warm home to sleep in. _________________ xoxoxo

I wonder what you think. |
Alley,
I think you are wrong. The new pope is just alittle bit nervous, 'cuz He knows that would be always compare to the previous Pope (I can't wrote it in English....). That's He has a dark look in his eyes and He doesn't have (for now) a nice smile: He is just nervous...

Alley,
I am actually surprised you hadn't seen Schindler's List. It is a wonderful film. The most shocking thing about the holocost, however, is anyone who had read Hitler's book and spoke with the few Jews who had escaped (and there were many in America's government at the time who had) knew it was happening, but America had its own problems to deal with so the American people didn't need to hear about this. (not my opinion - it was the thinking at the time. Also because we had no physical proof, i.e. ovens with human remains in them, they didn't think anyone would believe it. And most who heard/read about it didn't believe anyone or group was that sadistic.) Other gruesome facts: During and after WWII, Stalin, our former ally, butchered in an "unknown" way millions of his own people (where's the same sympathy for them). Pol Pot and his Khmer Rouge butchered millions of cambodians (where's their emotional movie). We are now discovering the vast nature of Saddam Hussein's evil with thousands of mass grave sites and untold numbers killed and yet all we care about is what happens to the americans serving over there in a job they chose to go into (and before anyone gets upset over this, let me acknowledge two points: 1. WE gave Saddam many of the weapons he used on these people in the 80's sao he could fight the person the Iranians wanted that we didn't because they had kicked out the guy we put in place. 2. I do realize some military people only had the military as a job option, other than McDonald's. This is unfortunate and something needs to be done about it, but this has been said for years now, and we have yet to elect people, democrat or republican, who is willing to stand up and do something.) I agree with what you said about not believing how recently this occured, but there are just as horrible crimes that have happened in more recent years, it's just these people didn't go about taking over independant countries as Hitler had, so we weren't willing to go to war over them. I also wonder if there wasn't a little bit of religious and/or race discriminaton involved. The people mentioned above were non-Christian, non-European. Look how eager and right we felt it was to go to war when the ethnic cleansing in Bosnia was happening, but stood on the sidelines when it was happening in Rwanda. Some things to think about. And if you look at the administrations (and those with the real power: the Congress) during this time, sometimes it was republican, other times it was democrats. This isn't a left-right issue.

Dally,
I think you misunderstood me and maybe others did, too. I'm not saying we don't have proof now or even after the war, I was talking in 1939 we didn't have the proof of the human ovens, so no one would believe. I am NOT one of those who refuse to believe the holocost (sp?) happened. I have seen the pictures, watched documentaries, and read books on the subject to know the true horrors of what happened. I just wanted to make the point of the fact that although what Alley said was true about it happening so recently, it is not the most recent event of its type and more people could have been saved had we not been saying in the 1930's, "that doesn't concern us (in the US, incase you are not from here). We have to worry about people not having jobs here." I want to visit Auswitz to see the horrible remains first hand, but right now I don't have the ability to get over there. Hopefully I cleared up my point.

Troyholc, you're right! Unfortunately, they were genocides after the WWII! We never forget who cruel can be men! It seems that now, justice began her job (International court for milosevic and generals in ex-yougoslavia, Belgium judges some responsables of rwanda genocide,...). Hope that will continue!
I think I never be able to visit Auschwitz- birkenau, dashau! I couldn't bear this atmosphere! A thought to the tzigans, polones and homosexuals who died there too!
Because of the celebration of the liberation, here, the press make a good job making young people never forget these atrocities. The press was also wondering why the iron way (tren), the installations (ovens) of death camps were not bombed by the aviation? In other side, some cities like koln were completely destroyed! Now, we can say the militaries chiefes (churchill, roosvelt and international jewish comitee, some escaped prisoners informed them) knew what happened there!!! They took a lot of photos of Germany and could see these death camps and this awful smoke! A factory near Auschwitz (4 km) was bombed and the aviation had to fly the infamous place. Anyway it's a delicate question. There isn't a clear answer now a day and maybe won't have. And that doesn't take off the reconnaissance, the admiration of the soldiers of all nationalities falling down for our freedom! And just to say hello to german friends!
Peace!  |

A little question for my general knowledge ! Why only those two politics waves ? Is it a constitutional rule or another politic family could be found? For the presidential election, I remember that there are more candidates at the first round. Is it the same for regional election and congress election? In Europe, most of the countries has government formed by members of different politics waves (coallition). |

Isn't it, "Guten Tag, Mein Freund!" (Ich hatte ein Jahr von Deutsch. Nearly 4 years ago now, though.) I glad to hear i didn't offend some. The thing is, is that there is hypocrisy (die Hypokrisie for our German friends) all around us. Let's take the topic we are talking about - the Pope is the head of the ROMAN Catholic Church and who ruled Jerusalem when Christ was killed? And who butchered Christians, feeding them to lions for amusement until one day a certain emperor named Constantine had a change of heart? Yes, it was these same Romans. It's to bad we have to worry about our own first and all of mankind second. The only time in the US talk of caring for all people everywhere is when the party in power is doing something in the interest of Americans. America is a great country and I don't want anyone to think I hate it. It's the people who get on television and radio who are the real hypocrits. Unfortunately they are also the ones in a position of power.
Sincerely,

I dont think a justice system applies to the demons that incite and oversea these atrocities. They rarely get what they deserve. Idi Amin didnt spend one day in jail. The japanese general who oversaw the chinese experimental camps in WW2( the japanese occupied parts of china, they lured local chinese peasants into camps where they experimented with their weapons eg- they tied people to boards around a bomb and detonated it to see its effects on them, they wrapped different biological diseases in chocolate and fed them to the local children etc) was tried by the Americans after the war and released in exchange for the data gathered from his experiments.
I think these arseholes should be staked and left to the crows. |

Orange:
The reason for the two party system is a two word phrase: status quo. In case that doesn't translate well into German, it means that Americans are very reluctant to change. There are lots of other parties with Libertarian and Green being the largest of the "third" parties. They are more likely to win local election than state-wide or national ones. The biggest obstacle is the democrats and republicans are the ones in power. Those with the power get all the coverage - which also means it's the press' fault as well because in the US they have the complete freedom to choose and put on television whatever they like as long as they can back up their statements (or don't mind being sued).
Some other things you might find interesting: the only reason the republicans exsist is because they were democrats who were opposed to slavery (around 1856). Prior to this the were mainly the Federalist and the Democratic-Republicans, with a little bit of Whig thrown in for fun. And yes, it was the republicans, i.e. George Bush's party, who wanted to free the slaves, and the democrats, i.e. Bill Clinton's party, who wanted to keep slavery. The reason loyalty changed amoung blacks is during the 1960 (I think) presidential election, there was a case that involved a black man in the southern US that was an extreme injustice. The republicans believe in strict seperation of powers (or use to, anyways - Terri Shaivo case (check CNN.com of FOXNEWS.com if you don't know about it)) and so when Richard Nixon was asked to comment on it he gave none, i.e. a Presidential candidate (Executive Branch) does not comment on the Courts (Judiciary Branch). John F Kennedy made a comment denouncing it and calling it an injustice. ever since then support from blacks has really gone to democrats.
Here is a summary of what each US party IDEALLY stands for:
1. Republicans: personal responsibilty (government doesn't get involved in personal lives), government only defends its people, makes laws that deal with the constitution, and makes laws for most serious crimes (genocide, murder, etc.) personal issues (abortion, public services, etc.) should be left up to the state and local governments.
2. Democrats: government is there to make the lives of its citizens better (someone perceives their life is poor due to the results of another, the government should make a law/program to help out this individual), military is to be used only in a direct, looming threat from an outside force.
3. Green Party: I don't know much about this party, but from what I get they are basically democrats who put protecting the environment higher on their list of priorities than the democrats.
4. Libertarian: Again, I don't know much here, but from what I do know they are kind of between republicans and democrats. They want the government out of the private lives of the individual American, but also wish to use the military in the face of an iminent threat.
If you want more info on the government system in the US a good site to check out is:
http://www.vote-smart.org/
Most of what I listed here is what I was taught in school or read in my free time. As of yet I have not come across anything that contradicts it (other than the politicians own actions).
Hope this helps.
sincerely,

@Troyholc : thank you for your answers!
I live near the german border but my native language is french! In Belgium, there is three official languages : dutch, french and german! I live very near the german part of the country but in the french part!
As for me, I never judge a country, his population by the acts of his governments - politics leaders (even if they were elected by them)! It would be too reductor! Each country has his good and bad sides! In Europe, you can find so differents cultures, way of live, different society even in the same country ... like mine! I'm very curious and each country is very attractive to me!
Unfortunately, some politics are hypocrits! Difficult to explain some actions when they know that, at the end, they have to seduct the electors! Now, to understand why this rule, law was voted, why this measure was adopted by a executive government, you've to think about the economic, the budgetary impact of it! Of course not for all but most!
You know, I don't see many differences between the american imperialism and the european colonialism of the past centuries (and it remains a little- interests don't disappear easily)!
Thank you for the explanation of the parties in America! It's very clear and very interesting! Here in Europe, most main tendances are liberal (like republic - no intervention of the state - liberty individual), socialist (in favour of intervention of the state in important subject like social security, protection in work relation,....), catholic (conservator society themes with mix of the two before in economy subject), ecologist (main purpose is to protect environment-- for instance, to instaure some tax if you use some toxical materials,...) and others like extremist (fascist, communist,...)! But in reality, most of these parties adopts measure from other because the society is a construction, among the years, of the past politic action of the other parties.
@dally : all is not perfect! But I feel that things are changing! For instance, a spanish judge receiving "plainte" from chile refugee in spain decided to suit Pinochet! I think this before would never operate! Ok, pinochet is not in jail but I think he lost his parlament immunity and all his money was bloqued. And it's not over for him! Some generals were condamned! About the argentina dictature, one general has recently condamned!
About the international court of justice and the internation court penal, the only problem is the instance can only act with the countries wich ratified it (japon, china, USA didn't ratify it)! Sure, it's not the supreme solution but I have the feelings that things begin to change! I hope I'm not wrong!
It's a pity I can't express myself correctly in english! grrrrrrr  |

Orange,
Two things about one thing you said: american imperialism. (just so you know I don't disagree with that statement as many Americans do)
1. You said it is similar to European Colonialism. Think of this, Europe has had a government system of sometype (meaning having a country to identify with) for thousands of years. America was created by those who were persecuted and percieved as criminals by the Europeans. Plus, we have only had 229 years to learn how to govern ourselves (not that this is an excuse). Plus, because the people who taught us about government was the European colonialist, that is more likely how we are going to act, It's also only been since WWII that we had real power in the world - when you show someone that you admire, they will usually find a way to exploit it. It's happened with England, France, Germany, and, most of all, (to my next point) . . .
2. the Roman Empire/Republic. America was found on the style of government of the Roman Republic. Rome was a model for democracy until they started to become extremely powerful and started to be admired. Then it became an Empire that felt, "if you are not like us, then you need to be conquered, so you can be informed of theproper way of living." American Imperialism was always a possiblity in the backs of Americans minds, but we never really acted upon it because of what I said before: Americans like the status quo - we were comfortable staying out of foreign affairs for the most part, and living our comfortable live. Then September 11 happened. This was the beginning of the American Empire of Views. After that, we didn't really say, "what can we do differently so people don't hate us." (Although there were many people on TV saying that, none really thought hard about it.) Instead, we did like the Romans, "You don't understand us, so we will had to make you like us so you understand." I am not saying I really disagree that much about what we have done since September 11. We needed to go after Al Queda and the Taliban who supported them, we needed to fulfill our original promise to the Shiite's (although not by laying it solely on the possibility of weapons of mass destruction). I just think we need to change the way in which we do business with some "friends." (Saudi Arabia, for one) If we do that then we may have more people asking for our help to change their government instead of us just doing it without warning. (the was no warning when Iraq was first brought up in the US)
One final thing. From your post, it sonds like you got some of your ideas from Michael Moore's Farenheit 9/11. Please do not take that as 100% fact. I live near where he grew up and work at one place he mentions in the movie and he portrays it wrong. Check out my other posts on this topic and you'll see what I mean.

Very interesting view Troyholc! I don't want to offense anyone talking about 'american imperialism' (I didn't realize that maybe it's a strong term - I'm not against America, otherwise I wouldn't be here talking with you and admiring Alley). It's very strange people make it birth after the horrible attack of the 11th september. It's a notion that is used and that I learned years before. I'm referring to the american interventions in Latin America (remember Salvatore Allende in chile, cuba, nicaraguai) and the interventions in cold war (containment) like in corea, vietnam,...and more formal acts like the OTAN creation (atlantic pact) which can say the american isolationism was not real. You know, I can be critical with my own country, for example with the facts done in our colonia Congo in the 19th century. Irreproachable country doesn't exist!
About Fareinhet 9/11, I assure you that I've never seen the movie! Because it's a kind of movie I wouldn't spend money for in cinema (which is only entertainment for me)! I'll wait it pass in television!  |

Orange -
Thanks for the response. I assumed you saw Fareheit 9/11 because most people I've met who use the term "american imperialism," tend to despise the US and LOVE Farenheit 9/11, treating it as absolute fact against the Bush administration. I never planned on seeing it, but I sent Alley a message and she asked if I had seen it, so I decided to rent it. However, I rented the opposing point, Farenhype 9/11 as well (watched Farenheit 9/11 first, so I didn't taint my opinion of that one).

Alley, sounds like you are a movie buff or maybe just a couch potato? But hopefully you are watching things besides Schindler's list, which is sort of depressing, however wonderful and accurate the film itself may actually be. We need you to be watching some fun stuff too so that you are in the proper state of mind for some quality photo sessions:) I don't seem to have the time to watch movies lately, so maybe someone else can suggest a great flick. Like you said, its great to wake up in the morning and be thankful for what we have, so we might as well enjoy!! |

Either you read my post to quickly, or you don't read well, as I was merely suggesting that she watch something a little more upbeat on occasions, as you appear to do. Have you seen Schindler's list, do you want a photoset based on that? Way to stand up for Alley though, as if she needed it or it was warranted on this occasion. |

I dont have much to say about the new pope as I am not a Catholic and I'll just keep my opinions on religon to myself. I will say this though. The people who post here are some of the deepest people in this forum including Alley. I wish I had more time to read, type and hang out with you people. I have yet to see Shindlers List. I'll have to rent it. I am a direct decendent of Oscar Shindler. My great grandma Fox was a Shindler before she married my great grandpa V.O. Fox. We did not know this till about 6 years ago when my grandma and aunts decided to trace our roots and put together a family tree. I was also wondering if anyone here had read Dan Browns books Angels and Demons and The DaVinci Code, since we are on the subject of popes and religion. _________________ Life without a friend is like a boob without a nipple...It's pointless. |

Alright Switch....RELAX. I appreciate you sticking up for me....SERIOUSLY but there's no need to get fiesty with Jmannford. I didn't take what he said as offensive and you shouldn't either....but it was VERY cute how you had my back.
Well, no I'm not a coach potato....by any means. Since I don't go out clubbing or anything....my new thing lately has been.....to watch a movie on the weekend with my man. There are SOOO many good movies that I haven't seen yet. Has anyone seen The Last Samurai? It really IS a good movie with a great story. I especially liked the co star's character and his performance. He did a good job! Another GREAT movie I've just seen is, OPEN WATER. I love how they shot this movie and made it look! It's not your typical Hollywood glitsy film....it's more like a home movie. They shot the movie's leading characters shooting the scenes with real sharks swimming all around them. The whole idea of being left out in the ocean is CRAZY!! GREAT MOVIE! Does anyone know of any other great movies?
This topic is getting too deep. It's not a bad thing. If you wish to continue to talk about these issues...please feel free. Like I've said before it's all very interesting so long as people remain to be respectful towards others sensitivity to these issues.
I would like to say this....There sure are some SMART-e pants in here....and it's been a pleasure getting to know you.
Thanks for sharing your views with me on these issues!

Hey Alley,
I'm not sure if you actually liked Schindler's list but if ya did, have you ever seen Life is Beautiful? It's a similar setting, but an absolutely brilliant movie, really charming and powerful, prob my favourite of all time - you have to see it! Il Postino is great too.
I don't know if you can get it in the states but one of the funniest movies I've ever seen has to be Shaun of the Dead, it's a parody of loads of zombie movies, hilarious stuff!!
Also, "Girls of Hooters" 1994 stars an absolute fox - A Baggett - great stuff!

Alley,
Since you like us smarties so much, here's another thing for you. The Last Samarai - are you aware that that movie is based on the events that led to to bombing of Pearl Harbor, that started us in WWII? The Japanese were content living in their secluded ancient world, then the US came over and said, "Hey, look, you can kill a man without getting right on top of him! (the Japanese were still using swords as their major weapon in the 1800's when we were using guns) Most said, "we like our ways - get lost!" But unfortunately, some were already tainted by this power, and the US said to the others, "If you won't let us in, we'l huff and we'll puff and blow your door in!" So, ultimately, the gun won out over the sword. Fast forward 50 years, the Japanese, using their great ingenuity, advanced the power of their weapons faster than anyone thought possible. Those who liked the gun now ruled and didn't like just controlling their small corner of the globe. Others hated the US for ruining their "ideal" world. The rulers exploited this. They said lets get revenge on the US. And so came the bombing of Pearl Harbor. Interesting, huh? Moral: worry about what is going on in your backyard before bothering others (we were in the middle of reconstruction, problems with Spain, and the KKK basically ran the south.)
As far as good movies go, I don't know ehre to begin. So, I'll break them into catergories:
Historical Comedy Action
---------- ----------- --------
Braveheart Airplane! Spiderman
Michael Collins Spaceballs Star Trek: First Contact
Amistad Blazing Saddles (you don't have to
Apollo 13 Any Austin Powers enjoy, just helps)
Bill Cosby: Himself Star Wars: III - VI
TV Drama
---------- ----------
Coupling (British Comedy) Shawshank Redmption
Black Adder (Brit Comedy) Truman Show
Mr. Bean (Brit Comedy) Dogma (Comedy/Drama)
Roots (Historical) (Since were talking about the Pope)
Merlin (Hallmark/NBC Movie) Othello, Hamelt (Mel Gibson or
Kenneth Brannaugh),
Romero and Juliet (1960's version)
and any other Shakespeare movie
I left off most american shows because most are still on the air, but Alias (if you have seen it before), Cheers, Three's Company, X-Files, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine (last episode of season 2 thru the end of season 7 - the best sci-fi show ever). I got this list from looking in my guide (I have 250+ DVD titles, I need a guide to remember then all). I hope this allows you to have a good weekend.

Hi Switch....It's cool. We all welcome you here....just be respectful to others and post your thoughts and you'll find that you might even find some cool friends to chat with in here.
Troyholc and Jelly...thanks for your ideas of which movies to see. I'm just now starting up my DVD movie collection. I didn't get a DVD player till some what recently. I know....I'm a late bloomer. Anyway....thanks again.
Oh and thank you Troyholc for the news about the movie, The Last Samurai. I didn't know that. That's pretty interesting. _________________ xoxoxo
