There are published research papers by Holocaust deniers. The fact that they are published does not give them any factual truth.

Because I'm going to be a teacher. And when schools try to be back-water idiots like the Scopes Monkey trial etc. etc., they screw over education and academic freedom. Putting endorsed prayer in schools demeans prayer and religion.

Schools already provide time for silent reflection at the beginning of the day. They don't need to have officially endorsed prayer by the school.

My resolution is to come up with something that I'll religiously do for about a month and then give up and instead start drinking Captain and coke, watching the Sox and partying at school.

Pot. Kettle. Black. Juggernaut

And I'm waiting to hear why praying to an invisible uber-daddy is needed in schools.

Check out these breasts

Yeah this it's the list of movies I've watched over winter break. Stupid ass breaking brother's car + plus losing car since brother needs to use it + lame ass small town = watching lots of movies.

I think the worst part of all the stories on that site is that Richard Pryor has now lost his voice to MS.

::shudders:: :puke :puke

That's what it sounds like since Vazquez wants to be on the east coast and the West Coast was too far (his reason for not wanting to play for LA)

Per Rotoworld it's Unit for Vazquez, Dioner Navarro, Brad Halsey and $8 mil.

Veterans' Affairs has gone from refusing compensation to GWS [Gulf War Syndrome] victims to now doing more research into what the actual cause of GWS is and giving compensation for medical coverage. But it is not substantial by any means. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/431817.stm The controversy over the reported dangers of depleted uranium (DU) has intensified, with a Canadian study said to show "unequivocal" evidence of damage to health. http://www.futurenet.org/article.asp?ID=594 is a good interview with Major Doug Rokke who has a PhD in health physics and is a 35 year veteran. One of the more powerful things he stated were:

I found a picture of JuanUribe666

I just finished "High Noon" (1952). Man, I've gotta say -- Damn Grace Kelly is/was f***ing hot! The movie is such a great piece of art. It has such a straight-forward plot but it is really awesome. Sheriff Kane!

Not yet -- a friend of mine got it for Christmas and we're gonna watch it when I get back to school (between the 2 of us, we've got Yojimbo, Sanjuro, Seven Samurai, Hidden Fortress, Ikiru, Rashomon, Throne of Blood, Dreams, Ran) So we've got some Kurosawa watching to do,

I like his standup a lot better than his show. I love the piece he did about police and being scared of them. It was along the lines of..."Black people are afraid of the police. And we had a lot of reasons to be with harassment and stuff. White people had a hard time believing us too. Then the King video and other stuff came out and white people are sitting around saying: 'Oh my God honey, it seems that the cops are beating up negroes like hotcakes. It's in the May issue of Newsweek'!" Chapelle is funny but he's no Pryor.

BWHAHAHAHA. We can say whatever they want and have for hundreds of years. Please, your pariah complex is hilarious. And who says what "normal values" are? Firstly, we're not a Christian nation (read the treaty of Tripoli penned by George Washington and passed unanimously by the Constitutional Congress -- "The Government of the United States of America is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion") Plus, gay also refers to lesbians who like women -- so your comment that "all gays like men" holds no water.

Yes -- heterosexual white males. The most discriminated group in the United States If Mariotti did indeed engage in sexual activities with men, then you could call him gay. If not, it's just a really lame swipe better geared for 8 year olds with no vocabulary or linguistic ability. And Critic, as for an insult, I'm partial to "scatmuncher"

That movie was so funny. I love the one scene where they are trying to get the horses away from "the mute" and they are doing a horrible acting job of horses drinking.

Seems like he's gonna be taking more than the summer off from work. /obligatory Briscoe-esque 1 liner

I got this offline http://www.cla.sc.edu/socy/faculty/deflem/zzcens97.htm The musicians’ standpoint was represented by Frank Zappa, John Denver, and Dee Snider. After Frank Zappa had read out the First Amendment to the Constitution of the United States, he argued forcefully against the PMRC’s demands which he considered "equivalent to treating dandruff by decapitation,... whipped up like an instant pudding by "the Wives of Big brother" (pp.52-53). He argued that there was simply no reason at all to call the record industry to self-restraint. Zappa argued that the RIAA had given in to the record label merely because it sought to have the "Blank Tape Tax" passed. Zappa here referred to the Home Audio Recording Act, which would levy a 10-15% tax on home taping and give royalties to the recording industry for sales of tape recorders and blank tapes. The Home Audio Recording Act is the proposed bill H.R. 2911 and is sponsored by the RIAA (Gray 1989a:154). Zappa noticed that Senator Strom Thurmond ran the committee responsible for legislation, and that his wife was affiliated with the PMRC (Roldan 1987:231). Zappa also alluded to the fact that three Senators on the Committee had their wives in the PMRC, and therefore later in the hearings stated: "I don’t think this is private action" (quote from Frank Zappa’s song "Porn Wars", which includes several samples of the Senate Hearing testimony; not in transcripts). Finally, Zappa indicated the danger of the stigmatization effects for the musicians that might result from the label system, and the fact that voluntary labeling could lead to "opening the door to an endless parade of moral quality control programs based on things certain Christians do not like" (p.54). The next musicians’ witness was John Denver. Somewhat more moderate than Zappa, Denver stated that he had unfortunately been the victim of censorship following the release of his song "Rocky Mountain High" which, Denver stated, "was banned from many radio stations as a drug-related song. This was obviously done by people who had never seen or been to the Rocky Mountains" (p.65). Denver acknowledged the concerns raised by the PMRC, but attacked the attempts to suppress ideas and the spoken word in a democratic society, drawing a comparison with Nazi Germany. The last musicians’ testimony was provided by Dee Snider, lead singer of the heavy metal band Twisted Sister. Snider referred to his Christian beliefs and that fact that all his songs were written in that spirit. He specified that all of Twisted Sisters’ songs the PMRC had condemned as containing references to sadomasochism, bondage, and rape, were all misquoted or misinterpreted. Snider also insisted that it is the parents’ job alone to take full responsibility over their children’s upbringing. -- Here's some of Frank Zappa's comments about censorship -- http://www.freemuse.org/sw4213.asp Plus the influence of music in the degredation of society was shot down with the Judas Priest case where they were found innocent [some parents whose kids shot themselves after supposedly getting subliminal messages from JP tunes they listened to sued the band saying their music was liable]. Plus Ozzy Osbourne was found innocent in a trial, I believe as well, when they tried pinning the same sort of BS on him. There's also a book "Parental Advisory: Music Censorship in America" by Eric Nuzum

Just finished "The Hidden Fortress" (1958). Yoda, you may like this film -- it was one of the influences for Lucas' creation of Star Wars. Toshiro Mifune turns in yet another amazing role.
