Pretty poignant, even funny almost, because what else can you do but laugh

I'm not gonna read this, there's one paragraph too much.

Way too much to read right now, but I caught this quick:

"Even many Christians have at this point figured the truth of this situation, and realize that Jesus came not in peace but with a sword, but what are they to do? 1000 to 1 odds means that unless every smart person on earth joins hands at once for a final battle, the lesser are going to win simply by numbers"

Jesus came with sword? And all this time, I thought he was more of a hand-to-hand combat type of guy....

I might read that later today if I get bored.

I watched Kingdom of Heaven last night.

I watched it a few weeks ago. I love the Crusades....blood, gore, betrayal, atrocities...what more could ya want?

I watched Kingdom of Heaven last night.

What about the add-ons? In the theater I felt the movie was lacking a lot of sequences to go from mildly entertaining to seriously watchable.

I didn't get any of the extras, apparently they're on the 2nd disc (and I wasn't going to waste a Netflix rental on them).

I thought the movie was excellent, though. I have no idea how accurate it was or wasn't.

I don't care about that. Most written accounts of the crusades are fucked up by visionary madness or biased in a sense or another anyway.

 

[Ellestin]

OK, so apparently the version including director's cuts (3h30) should be released end of 2006. Then I wont bother renting this one.

 

[MadeInNewJersey]

This one was about 2 hrs, 10 minutes, and really, there weren't any boring moments. I'm not sure I want to watch a 3 1/2 hour version of this movie though.

I read it. It's right, we're all fucked unless we all realise we're fucked and do something about it as a species. But that's not gonna happen, because people are lazy and greedy and apathetic and stupid.

Jews are like women, retards, minorities and gays because all of them are assumed to be on the bottom. Strike out against one, and you're the problem. They can strike you, though, and they should.

Come on now, who's taking this seriously again?

Is this some black metal kid's attempt to write a modern essay on Nietzsche's "The Geneology of Morality" or something?

 

[Dick Sirloin]

We will continue this march of death toward oblivion, and no amount of handing rights to gay black coprophagic pot-smoking women will stop that.

***COMEDY GOLD ALERT!***

I would sig this if I had sigs turned on.

Society is going down the shitter = obvious, though. Just look at our "culture."

 

[General Zod]

Couldn't get through it. Read a few paragraphs and started skimming from there. There's some entertaining thoughts in there, but I'm not a fan of the stream of consciousness style.

That article pretty much sums up why I have to resort to nihilism for all practical purposes to avoid going insane every day.
