Looks like I killed another thread.....

Oh well....

[rzeznikj at stout]

Yep...

[snugs]

You have your priorities right and I am sure that in time God will show you your path socially in his time.

[cibco]

Naw, still here. Ate a piece of deer jerky and had some popcorn while watching a movie while things were slow.

Looks like it is picking up...

[pcottraux]

What was on tonight?

I just got done watching a movie, too.

[Nowhere Man]

Good points...

Thanx, I figure I might have made some sense somewhere. B-)

[cibco]

"The Doctor and the Devils". English movie about a 19th century anatomy DR that paid for "fresh" bodies. It developed from there...

[pcottraux]

Never heard of it.

I watched "The Maltese Falcon."

[rzeznikj at stout]

Yep...

[cibco]

First time I had heard of it. It was bizzare.

I've seen The Maltese Falcon many times. Good flick.

[Rca2000]

No, your answer was what seemed to be what I figure is right.

"And now we're living in the twilight zone"...

I am seeing MORE and MORE of this daily.

At my new job, which I was at today, the Guy who called me to work there with him is a libertarian. As such, me and him are DIAMETRICALLY opposed to many moral things, and that leads to MANY discussions among us.

One thing unique about working on TV's all day(and projo's in particular) is there is ALWAYS one or more of them on(usually on Fox news channel) and as such, topics of discussion often come up. Topics like gay marriage, drugs, Abortion, the election-- ALL of these have been discussions between me and him of recent days and weeks.

His belief is basically"do what you want, as long as it doesn't hurt anyone else". And that sounds good-- ON the SURFACE.

The probelm is, (and he does NOT see this) is there are MANY things that prople do, or want to see happen that WILL affect other people, and not just them.

One such thing-- Gay marriage. His view is basically "why should I care what 2 people do in their own bedrooms".

I agree. As LONG as they KEEP IT THERE!!

however, it seems that he (and most other liberal or "open minded" people) have failed to see that Homos do Not just want to "keep it there" anymore. and they NEVER have!! They want to shove the gay , perverted lifestyle down our throats, till EVERYONE either accepts it as "normal" or they have been re-educated, or removed from society. But he can't see this.

In the same way, when an announcement came today that Ford has been seeing disappointing sales, and I replied" Good, maybe that will teach them no to pander so much to the homos", he was unaware that they had been doing so lately. I then told him about the "pink parade", that Ford had sponsored, and other such things.

So, to me, it seems that many, maybe MOST people go through life, with BLINDERS on, and are NOT aware of things going on around them. Not until it is right in their faces, anyway.

By then, of course---it is usually too late..

[Nowhere Man]

Looks like I killed another thread.....

Oh well....

Well, it was rolling for a while, don't forget, it is getting a little late. I'm here but in my case I'm working on my Morrow Project role playing game so I'll be flitting in and out. B-)

[pcottraux]

This was my second time watching it. I love film noir.

[HitmanLV]

Excellent choices, Victoria! Once again you have outdone yourself! I particularly like Sinatra's 'That's Life,' it's one of my all-time favorite songs and is always a 'centering' experience.

You win some, you lose some. Don't let it get you too down. Classic song and an eternal message! Thanks for sharing it, and all the other wonderful tunes! :-)

[snugs]

On those words of wisdom I think I will turn in - see you all tomorrow.

[Victoria Delsoul]

Happy you liked them.

I like Frank Sinatra as well, his voice, his style, the way he delivers his songs... just fabulous. I like music in general, and I love to dance... so I guess, goes together, huh?

[Nowhere Man]

Yeah, I don't think a libertarian society would work well in today's world. Even Thomas Jefferson, a hero to may libertarians, made the comment "if men were angels we would not need government" and if I may add something, rules to live by. Glenn Beck keeps making that point too when I listen to his show. To me Rush and Sean Hannity, well, it seems like they keep going over the same stuff day by day, so Beck and Savage are my favorites, I like the ones that are not as connected to the establishment so to speak. Getting back to libertarianism, it is sort of like the right's version of Marxism where Marx believed that under a perfect Communist society, the State will wither away and the people will govern themselves with need for codes and laws. Substitute Capitalism for Communism and (well, I have to think of a name here, OK, got one) Ayn Rand for Karl Marx, many libertarians think the State would wither away or at least be so much behind the scenes, people will govern themselves.

It's a myth, really, getting back to "The Forbidden Planet," I think the Captain, played by Leslie Neilsen, was on to something. I got to tape it, Turner Classics play it a lot so I should catch it again.

[HitmanLV]

I love Sinatra a lot, too, but I admit I don't love everything he has done as many of his most dedicated fans love them.

I hate 'New York New York' for example - it's a meandering dud of a song with no emotional depth whatsoever. Just a zero, though it's good after a ballgame. It's one of his highly regarded songs that I think is just awful. He tries to pack the same kind of punch with 'LA is My Lady' several years later and even he couldn't fake it enough to make the song palatable. Two of the worst Sinatra songs in his repertoire (though 'LA' is ten times worse than 'NYNY.'

I also find his 'My Way' crossing well into self parody - just exaggerated all the way. Elvis's version is far superior and without the self parody element at all, and I'm a bigger Sinatra fan than an Elvis fan (though I love them both). I believe it was Elvis's last single.

Dancing is good and I am glad you enjoy it, though I'm more a slow dance guy myself.

[Kate of Spice Island]

I am glad it got answered and it is something to suggest to hubby early on so that we can prevent problems that would normally occur.

;D
