3) Religious zealots have attacked it as if it were an assault on their beliefs, which it should not be seen as such. The reason for this is that, for many, there is no difference between "themselves" and "their bodies". If the body did not come from God, directly, then they are not above the rest ...

I have not heard it, but I will look it up since you mention it. It sounds intersting. If you can't find it, I have the original soundtrack on CD, and can probably give you a snip. In the movie, you see two bands, seperated by a wall. The first is playing 1940's swing of the big band era, and dress...

My absolute FAVORITE kind of music is when two kinds of music are blended to make something new. Like rock music with classical instruments (or vice versa.) I LOVE Trans-Siberian Orchestra. I'm curious... have you ever encountered the famous 40's swing/70's acid rock mix that was written for the mo...

With Tagger's reaction to BeBe, he should remember that her sister, Little Bit, has a crush on him already and could grow up to be like her sister. Only she'd be the right age for Tagger. That's a thought that ought to REALLY blow Tagger's mind at his current stage of development. If he didn't star...

Thank you, Wanderwolf. That is exactly the point, and I'm glad that a believer made it instead of my having to. Souls and such are purely a matter of faith, and for those of us who don't have it, the reaction ranges from bemusment through irritation to downright hostility when we're told something'...

You're giving *that* quote in a forum when there are Catholics about? Don't you realize us apostolic christians have an entire sacrament devoted to "draw, present, inspect"? It's called confession or reconciliation depending on what section you're in but it is certainly real. And as for the "touch,...

I don't know... I think I figured it all out a long time ago. See, when most boys my age were watching He-Man, I was watching She-Ra. Was it because I was a bit quirky or something? Not really... Let's see what each show had to offer. He-Man: Half-naked men with big muscles running around fighting....

I'll file that under "he hits me because he loves me", frankly. I don't buy that. I dunno, Stel.

You completely ignore the existence of human beings as intellectual beings, let alone spiritual ones with that viewpoint. Cynicism, in my view, is just an excuse for not rising above baser instincts. Mmm. Okay, my counter to that is a quote from the late, great H. Beam Piper... "Draw... Soul! PREEE...

Does this mean anime comic robots are actually onto something? As a science fiction movie prop the robot would be unimpressive, but as a real-life example of ro...

I guess it can be said simply as (and I hate to use the cliche') that "...you don't change horses in mid-stream." Or mid-war. I won't mind if they're anti-war... AFTER we've won the war and their opinion doesn't matter. Hypocritical? Perhaps. Self-centered? Definitely . But then, that's what I want ...

My parents have been married for 25 years -- and since we travelled, it was always cramped quarters, whether it was motels or RVs, so I know them better than most folks probably know their parents. And they have never been like that. Mom and Dad might have differences, but when it came down to it, ...

Truthfully, about the only thing a man can say in such circumstances is, "I'm sorry", as many times as possible. It doesn't matter if he's right or wrong, good or bad... She is unhappy, and therefore She must be apologized to. Listen, I don't like to judge people, but I have to say that that's the ...

Mind you, I have to disagree that becoming a celebrity automagically removes your right to voice your own opinion. It certainly didn't stop Bruce Springsteen when he decided to bash the man he calls "President Bystander"; it didn't stop Robin Williams from voicing his views on the war in Iraq, or B...
