Strange Situations

AVATAR IS AWESOME!

Yes folks I've finally seen Avatar. I missed it first time around in the cinema due to my broken arm so I went to see the extended 3d version.

WOW! and not just cos of the 3d!

The only major flaw I could see was how a major corporation could be stupid enuff to station an admin golf playing science ignorant doofus and a megalomanic ex marine on the same planet?

The world spanning intelligence could be understood as a higher life form or as a spirit or both and likewise the finale in which the "wild" life join the battle as an "antibody response" to the invading Sky people or as why it is stupid to enter the nesting and breeding area of an aerial life form as big as your gunships.

While you're waiting for the DVD consider viewing the 3D version.

Seriously wonderful! Truly awesome!

MISISLAMIC

MISISLAMIC

Bigotry is based on ignorance.

Two sadly outstanding examples of this are the American Birthers who believe Obama is a secret Muslim and the people who go on and on and on ad tedium claiming a Mosque is building built on top off or right next to "Ground Zero".

If wearing the costume of your father's ethnic group ONCE while visiting family is Kenya "proves" Obama is a Muslim then that makes wearing harem pants Islamic!

There are probably dozens if not hundreds of American and Australian citizens who spent part of their childhood in Indonesia for various reasons, such as parents being born or working there. That makes them Muslim? Nooo .....!?

As for the Ground Zero thing.

I personally consider that the only structure that should be "built" is an open plaza witha simple wall monument at one side listing all the dead including the Muslim workers who died.

It probably would have been a better idea to build that Community Center much further away from the Twin Towers site but really if you ban community centers for minorities next thing you'll have religious loonies wanting to ban Kivas, Synagouges, and what else I dread to think.

If you really want to fight terrorism know your enemy.

Ranting on or off line about evil muslims and secret conspiracies doesnt help.

Dont waste time being Misislamic!

Wanna fight terrorism? Support simple things like projects that build girls' schools and women's clinics in Afghanistan.

And support your local schools public or private too and make sure they're teaching tolerance and science!

Mysterious (OTHER) ME!

August 19th 2010 15:59

Mysterious
(other)
Me!

Twice in the last week I've received mail that suggests I have either a doppleganger, distant cousin, or person using the same family name and first initial as me, who's been living unbeknown to me only a few miles away.

Now I live in Hornsby not Turramurra so I'm intrigued about who the J. Vaux who lived at Wonga Wonga Road Turramurra was or is?

Are they dead? DID they move? The agencies wanted to forward money to them and I've NOT contacted them back not knowing if this is some kind of identity theft scam or what?

Sounds like the plot for a novel, yes?

But its all real?

I dont know if I should try to find out more about them or not?

What would you do?

The trouble with Xtians

The trouble with Xtians

Over the last few years I have noticed the spread of the slang term Xtian to refer to Christians especially those of a conservative fundamentalist to a fanatical degree. Sadly this term also gets applied to Christians in general
