589,736 | male | 35 | Technology | Aries | 05,August,2004 | doublethink: Reality Control. The power to hold two completely contradictory beliefs in one's mind simultaneously, and accept both of them. An excellent example of doublethink in modern society is the urlLink war on drugs . If you ask people their opinion on alcohol prohibition in the 1920s, most people would agree that it was a complete failure. People agree that it only caused more crime, it made gangsters rich, it corrupted politicians, and most importantly ... it didn't keep people from drinking. Yet, we have almost the exact same situation today with war on drugs, yet most people think that our modern prohibition is a good idea ... and more than that, they believe that anybody that thinks that the war on drugs isn't a good idea must be completely out of their minds. In order for a person to be effective at doublethink, they must master the art of crimestop . crimestop: (Orwell's definition) 'The faculty of stopping short, as though by instinct, at the threshold of any dangerous thought. It includes the power of not grasping analogies, of failing to perceive logical errors, of misunderstanding the simplest arguments if they are inimical to Ingsoc (the philosophy of the powers that be), and of being bored or repelled by any train of thought which is capable of leading in a heretical direction. In short... protective stupidity.' -from urlLink the newspeak dictionary |

589,736 | male | 35 | Technology | Aries | 05,August,2004 | While I personally understand that there is a difference between truth and fact, I nevertheless have a huge problem with it. Within myself, I vehemently want truth to be fact. It's my Utopia, if you will. |

589,736 | male | 35 | Technology | Aries | 05,August,2004 | My take on the whole 'saving people' thing, speaking as a Christian, is that I feel as though the best way to convey my beliefs to others is to live as an example of them. To me, the true message of Christ was one of inclusivity, understanding, compassion, forgiveness, and above all, love. And being a Christian to me means living a life that is 'Christ-like.' Though I know that I am by no means without sin, the most important thing for me is to live my life with love and compassion to the best of my human ability. As for the film... I have yet to see it. I think I'd prefer to see it privately in my own home, because my faith is very strong and very personal to me. I feel like I might leave the film feeling like an open wound, and I don't want to risk being around insensitivity at a moment like that... But as for the way it is marketed... The movie business is still just that...a business. It is an unfortunate reality that, if you want to put asses in seats, you have to have some sort of draw. Since James Caviezel is not yet an A-List celebrity (though I think he could be...he's a brilliant actor), his name alone is not enough. And while many people love Mel Gibson, the masses of asses in seats tend to prefer a Mel that is in front of the camera, not behind it. So producers, wanting to make money on a film that they know is monetarily risky, come up with a way to sell the film, i.e., 'the TRUE story of WHAT REALLY HAPPENED.' Whether or not it is historically accurate does not matter to me. As Harmonium touched upon, truth and fact are not synonymous. After the release of 'The Killing Fields,' director Roland Joffe asked one of the journalists, on whose experiences the film was based, if the film was accurate. He replied with a yes and no. No, he said, that's not exactly what really happened. But yes, he said, that's exactly what it felt like. |
589,736 | male | 35 | Technology | Aries | 05,August,2004 | this unemployed thing is starting to suck. |
589,736 | male | 35 | Technology | Aries | 05,August,2004 | I know plenty of Christians that don't try to 'save' me, and I, in most cases, think more highly of them and I do of the ones that are trying to 'save' me. Wouldn't it serve you more to target people that might actually want to be in your group rather than those that absolutely don't want to be? I know they will receive a higher number of virgins in the kingdom of god if they convert a true nonbeliever, but at what point do you cross the line from being zealous to being a public nuisance?! |
589,736 | male | 35 | Technology | Aries | 05,August,2004 | your faith in the chair is based on past experiences of sitting in a chair and it not falling apart. if you were to be concerned every time this event occurred, you would have serious issues. what these ladies were suggesting you have is 'blind' faith. faith in something even though you have no evidence to support it - no previous experiences to draw from. what you could assume, if it would make you less angry, is that these women believe with all of their heart, that their goal in life is to save you and if they don't, you will be suffering eternal torment. hard for them to deal with, i'm sure. they are just doing what they think is best. i don't mind the proselytizers - as long as they don't try to change the laws of our secular government. |
589,736 | male | 35 | Technology | Aries | 05,August,2004 | On a side note about 'faith'... This past weekend, two ladies came to my door. After greetings were passed, one promptly asked me, and I paraphrase, 'Do you think you are going to Heaven when you die?'. My response was a prompt but polite 'No.'. They appeared shocked and asked me why. I said that you can't go someplace that doesn't exist. I explained that I am an atheist, and I believe that 'there is no god, or satan, or heaven, hell'. And their response was, 'but you have to have faith in that, right?' She went on to say that when you sit in a chair, do you thoroughly inspect it first, or do you just go and sit down? Meaning that you have to have faith that the chair will support you, and won't fall apart. My question is this....Since when did religion trademark the word 'faith' as only pertaining to ones belief in a deity of some sort. Why is it that if I have faith, then I must in some way or another believe in god? No offense to the christians out there, but it really pissed me off. |
589,736 | male | 35 | Technology | Aries | 05,August,2004 | ...and that's what bugged me enough to post; that the film maker went out of his way to make the film 'historically accurate', but then dropped the ball on the color issue. regardless of one's opinion on Jesus' ethnicity (or at least, that of people living in the Middle East during the time period he supposedly lived in), the actors could have at least been a little darker skinned - they all lived in a desert, for pete's sake! you could have had a chinese guy playing christ in a snowstorm, as long as you didn't expect me to look at your film as a depiction of how the people and places 'really looked', which is what gibson's film purports to do (and succeeded in doing in many other ways, apparently). but is that really the point when you're telling 'the greatest story ever told'? shouldn't even a pretty good story be able stand on its own, in regards to its message(s)? shakespeare's plays can be set in any time period, and they work fine; no one balks at the inevitable 'anachronisms', because his were universal stories from the get-go. i wish more christians would do the same, by acknowledging the power of allegory to promote faith and belief, rather than insisting that the events in their stories have to have 'really happened' to be significant. it doesn't matter if jesus ever really existed, anymore than odysseus or buddha or any number of characters in the great stories of our species; what matters is the message, not the messenger (or the creed). what we learn about ourselves in reading about these folk is what matters. in another thousand years, all of them will have been modified tenfold to suit the cultures and opinions of times to come, just as they have been many times before. hopefully, the essence of the stories will persist and prevail - and not because we ever felt the need to prove that they 'really happened', which is all but impossible, and in my opinion, needless. |
589,736 | male | 35 | Technology | Aries | 05,August,2004 | For myself, the historicity of a representation of a figure such as Jesus or the Buddha is completely irrelevant. What matters to me are the words and the act(s). My own research has revealed that Gibson intended to film an interpretation, albeit one that is more 'gritty' and 'violent.' In that sense -- and in that sense only -- it seems that the film can be tested against realism. In terms of event and image, it is, like all films, a personal visual exploration. As Ebert often says, a movie is not about what it is about, but how it is about it. As a sidenote, there is a curious need in modern society to equate 'veracity' with 'truth,' as if they have anything at all to do with each other. At least once a year, a newsmagazine devotes a cover story to the 'real Jesus,' the 'real Muhammed,' the 'real Whoever' -- as if evidence matters in the search for truth. Evidence yields nothing but data. Data has its uses, and for many from the 18th century Enlightenment onward, its presence can evoke deep satisfaction -- but in the great cocktail party of the universe, beyond nodding to each other at the cheese table, data and faith have very little to talk about. |
589,736 | male | 35 | Technology | Aries | 05,August,2004 | I'm mixed on this aspect of the film. While it is Mel Gibson's right to create a film with his own artistic vision, it then comes down to whether the film is being done with a heavy influence of historical accuracy OR simply being made from ones own interpretation of an event. This picture seems to be made as the latter. And like Harmonium said, I don't have a problem with that. But you can't also try and market that same product as being historically accurate, when it just isn't.....if indeed that is what is being done. |
589,736 | male | 35 | Technology | Aries | 05,August,2004 | The visuals are inspired by Medieval artwork and iconography, a stylistic choice. I have no problem with that. |
589,736 | male | 35 | Technology | Aries | 05,August,2004 | It is quite likely that Jesus was a 'white guy'. Now he probably didn't look like he was from Sweden, but rather he looked more like a modern day Middle Easterner. Like Iraqis, Pakistanis, Israelis, etc. And yes, they are considered Caucasians. As far as the movie is concerned, and no I haven't seen it, I've heard that they don't have a single black person in the movie. Now I find that almost impossible to believe that back then being that close to Africa that not a single black person was present in that city during that time. |
589,736 | male | 35 | Technology | Aries | 05,August,2004 | i was almost curious enough about 'the passion' to give a look. i was intrigued by the desire on gibson's part for historical accuracy on depicting the time period in which the story is set; the sets, the costumes, even the language - a film in aramaic, of all things! then i checked out the urlLink official site for the film. jesus christ is played by a white guy, as is most of the cast. wtf. |

(Hint: sex, God, jobs and, oh my word, professional wrestling usually top the lists.)... In the past three years, Google has gone from processing 100 million searches per day to over 200 million searches per day. And get this: only one-third come from inside the U.S. The rest are in 88 other languages...' 'Search engines are constantly adding and removing pages, as well as altering the algorithms they use to rank pages. However, there's a great obsession with Google because of the large amounts of traffic it can deliver. Of the four most popular search enginesGoogle, Yahoo, AOL and MSN SearchGoogle's results are used at the first three...' 'Google's continued success depends on its ability to collect unaffected Web content, which means that it must avoid the single individual's assertion of meaning. This strategy implies that any metadata scheme for the Web that promotes the meaning assertion of a single Web author (i.e., My Web page means this) will be avoided by aggregators. The strategy of aggregation, the enlistment of Web authors as lay indexers, and the temptation of bad faith points to the importance of maintaining the ignorance of lay indexers.' |

589,736 | male | 35 | Technology | Aries | 05,August,2004 | when i read things like this i don't know whether to laugh or cry: Ga. school evolution debate goes to trial April 6, 2004 | ATLANTA (AP) -- A federal judge refused to dismiss a lawsuit against a school district's practice of posting disclaimers inside science textbooks saying evolution is 'a theory, not a fact.' The Cobb County schools' disclaimer, in the form of a sticker on the inside front cover of textbooks, could have the effect of advancing or inhibiting religion, U.S. District Judge Clarence Cooper ruled in ordering the suit to go to trial. 'We're very excited about this,' said attorney Michael Manely, who represents the six Cobb County parents who sued the system in August 2002. The lawsuit argues that the disclaimer restricts the teaching of evolution, promotes and requires the teaching of creationism and discriminates against particular religions. The sticker reads: 'This textbook contains material on evolution. Evolution is a theory, not a fact, regarding the origin of living things. This material should be approached with an open mind, studied carefully and critically considered.' The judge weighed the constitutionality of the issue by applying a three-pronged test handed down by the U.S. Supreme Court in 1971. In order to get the lawsuit dismissed, the school board had to show that the disclaimer was adopted with a secular purpose; that its primary effect neither advances nor inhibits religion; and that it does not result in an excessive entanglement of government with religion. In his order signed last Wednesday, Cooper said the school board satisfied him on the first issue. But he noted that while the disclaimer has no biblical reference, it encourages students to consider alternatives other than evolution. The judge found that the disclaimer could have the effect of advancing or inhibiting religion. 'Indeed, most of the board members concurred that they wanted students to consider other alternatives,' Cooper wrote. The theory of evolution, accepted by most scientists, says evidence shows current species of life evolved over time from earlier forms and that natural selection determines which species survive. Creationism credits the origin of species to God. In 1987, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled creationism was a religious belief that could not be taught in public schools along with evolution. |

589,736 | male | 35 | Technology | Aries | 05,August,2004 | I found some interesting tidbits while researching the election stuff. Does anyone have a guess when the last time Virginia voted for a Democrat was? It's not as far off as you might think. Answer at the bottom. The first time after reconstruction that Virginia voted for a Republican was 1928 (Herbert Hoover). It also the first time that a majority of the Confederate states did not vote Democratic. 60 years after the Civil War, they were still holding a grudge against the Republican party for ending slavery. 1964 - LBJ. |
589,736 | male | 35 | Technology | Aries | 05,August,2004 | For the record, I went back and checked the official FEC results of the 2000 election. If every single vote cast for Nader had been cast for Gore, which is of course extremely arrogant supposition, then yes, Al Gore would be the president of the United States (shudder), But, it would not have turned into the landslide that Ms. Randi seems to think it would. Here's a big surprise (tic). The areas with the most Nader support were areas that Gore won handily. The only states in which there would have been a different outcome are Florida and New Hampshire. The revised total would have been 295-242, the closest since Carter-Ford in 1976 (297-240). That's a far cry from Nixon-McGovern in 1972 (520-17), Reagan-Carter (489-49), Reagan-Mondale (525-13), Bush-Dukakis (426-111), Clinton-Bush (370-168), or Clinton-Dole in 1996 (379-159). Some interesting tidbits in reviewing the results- Some states do not allow write in candidtates for president (HI, LA, NE, NV, NM, OK, SC, SD) 3,315 people in Nevada cast a vote for 'None of these candidates' 1 Electoral College member from DC abstained instead of casting his vote for Gore as tradition calls for. I am guessing that it was some kind of protest statement. |

589,736 | male | 35 | Technology | Aries | 05,August,2004 | No-Makeup Look Easier To Achieve Than Elle Claims NEW YORKContrary to claims in the June issue of Elle magazine, the no-makeup look actually requires little effort, a licensed cosmetologist reported Monday. 'The article '20 Minutes To A More Natural You' suggests an application of under-eye concealer, light powder, natural lip gloss, and clear mascara to achieve the makeup-free look,' said Michelle Karns-Daley, spokeswoman for the American Association of Cosmetology. 'But really, a quick shower and a towel-off will do the trick just as well.' Similarly, experts say Elle's six-page article 'Building Your Self-Esteem' can be more simply stated as 'Stop giving a shit about what other people think.' Awkward Encounter Not Awkward At All When Masturbated About OLYMPIA, WAAn uncomfortable exchange between Brad Leydner, 25, and Ginny, the cute redheaded waitress at Hugo's Bistro, lost all awkwardness when envisioned in Leydner's masturbation fantasy later that afternoon. 'So, would you like to grab a coffee after your shift?' a nervous Leydner asked Ginny in both the real and imagined scenarios Monday. 'Oh, Brad, I can't wait four hours to see you. You should fuck me hard, right in this booth,' replied the Dream Ginny moments before Leydner achieved orgasm. In the fantasy scenario, Ginny did not hide in the kitchen to avoid speaking to Leydner while he paid for his meal. |

From: Jms at B5 ([email protected]) creator of Babylon 5, for those not in the know Subject: Today We Lost Richard Biggs Newsgroups: urlLink rec.arts.sf.tv.babylon5.moderated Date: 2004-05-22 16:43:06 PST I was awakened today with several phone calls from cast members and Doug to pass along the terrible news that this morning, Richard Biggs passed away. We're still gathering information, so take none of this as firm word, but what seems to have happened, happened quickly. He woke up, got up out of bed...and went down. The paramedics who showed up suggested it was either an aneurysm or a massive stroke. His family members have been informed, and all of the the cast have, as far as we can determine, also been informed. This is a terrible loss for all of us. Richard was a consummate professional but more than that he was an honorable, stand-up guy. If he gave you his word on something, you never had to wonder about it afterward. He was always helpful and supportive of all the cast, even those who only came in for one episode, always with a ready smile and determined to do whatever it took to make the scene work. He was, quite simply, a terrific guy, and everyone here is just devastated at the news. More word as this develops. We may try to have some kind of fund raiser to help give whatever assistance may be helpful for his kids. We all miss him terribly. jms UPDATE: here's the urlLink CNN article concerning his passing. |

Referring to his Feb. 5, 2003 appearance before the U.N.s Security Council, when he argued that Iraq had or was close to developing WMD, including biological weapons, Powell told Russert the information he offered was not only wrong, but that in some cases the intelligence cited by the administration had been purposefully misleading. 'It turned out that the sourcing was inaccurate and wrong and, in some cases, deliberately misleading,' Powell said. 'And for that, I am disappointed and I regret it.' |

589,736 | male | 35 | Technology | Aries | 05,August,2004 | tom delay is a sick fuck who should be removed from office: ``I saw cruel, sadistic torture,'' said Rep. Jane Harman, D-Calif., who added that some of the images were of male prisoners masturbating. She said she saw a man hitting himself against a wall as though to knock himself unconscious. Sen. Ben Nelson, D-Neb., said he did not see acts of violence, but what appeared to be ``results of acts of violence.'' He said he saw people in body bags and a person with a face ``virtually gone.'' He saw ``people being stitched up above the eyebrow apparently unconscious.'' Rep. Gary Ackerman, D-N.Y., said, ``There were people who were forced to have sex with each other.'' Rep. Trent Franks, R-Ariz., said, ``There were some pictures where it looked like a prisoner was sodomizing himself'' with an object. He said blood was visible in the photograph. But House Majority Leader Tom DeLay, R-Texas, said he thought ``some people are overreacting.'' ``The people who are against the war are using this to their political ends,'' he said. |
